    I have a question for all you 4042ers out there...

    Who do you use for you Insurance needs?
    I am looking for new Homeowners and Auto insurance, and I am tired of getting RAKED over the coals by Nationwide.

    The service sucks, and the premiums are outrageous!!

    Thinking about Allstate, or maybe Geico...

    What do you guys think?

    I use State Farm, I've checked around periodically and haven't found anything that was enough of a reduction to warrant the headache of switching to a different carrier. But if you find a good deal, please post! :D

    Libery Mutal has been great for us. Through Fran, a hit and run, 1 uninsured motorist and 2 deer collisions I have been very satisfied.

    I just got my quote from Allstate...

    510.00 per year for Homeowners, with all the trimmings and low deductibles,

    but also 510.00 every six months for full coverage on both cars, with my hubby and me, low deductibles also.

    Not thrilled with the auto side, seems a little high...could be wrong.
    I mean come on, we are talking about a 91 Spirit and a 2000 Taurus.
    Not exactly a Miata.

    I've had State Farm for over 20 years, no problems. My sister and my parents in Florida had State Farm homeowners, and were treated well after the hurricanes there.

    ditto that.. and they were easy to work with after we rolled over the Explorer last year. I haven't compared rates in a while.. maybe it's time....
    I've thought about checking out Allstate Ins. for the auto, they offer that $100 credit for each year of no accidents that you have.. I don't know the limit, I'm sure there's a maximum amt. for a credit, but.. the insurance company I used to deal with in Massachusetts (Travelers Ins. Co.) used to offer a similar program, and I'd save $300-400 a year because I had a clean and accident free record.

    We have had Erie for more than ten years and have been pleased with their rates and service. Thankfully we have not had to make a major claim. I have a friend who dealt with Erie after a house fire and found them easy to work with. Recently they started offering an identity theft protection service. I cannot recall all the details but they basically deal with cleaning up the mess if your identity is stolen. It was only $20 or $25 a year for this additional service.

    I did a lot of research before I bought my house on homeowners and car insurance. The least expensive for cae insurance were State Farm and Geico.
    Since I have had State Farm in the past I went with them. The Clayton office never answered the phone or returned my calls, so I went with the one at 40/42. Real nice folks. Very good price on the homeowner's insurance, too.
    I have had bad eaperiences with Farm Bureau. Switched from State Farm to them once because the premiums were cheaper. Big mistake. Everything was fine until we had to file a claim for a house fire.

    I have had car insurance with Allstate for 15 years and homeowners with them for 6. I am very pleased and have had no probs. My mom (and dad before he passed away) were with the same insurance company and agent for 30 years as well.
