California cost effective insurance companies.

[Doc8404]

sister lives in CA. She was telling me how high her rates are.

Other than Geico, anyone have recommendations on companies or agents near Glendale?

Farmers wants $6,800/yr.

They pay $5,200 right now with mercury.

Yikes!
Not sure if available near her but you can try http://esurance.com

If she tries a quote from them I would be interested to know the outcome.

Costco Connect. I'm pretty sure you need a good record. You can get an on-line quote I believe.
Good luck.

Look into a mutual insurance company. Amica is one of them. They don't spend a jillion dollars advertising unlike a lot of others.

That’s what I have. It was the cheapest at the time. I really should re-evaluate.

Costco may be inexpensive, but they were also the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with in 40 years of driving.

No matter what I do, how many times a year I try as I shop rates all the time, I’ve now had esurance gosh must be getting close to 4 years. Longest I had any insurance company in a very long time and can’t find a better price from any other company, this is a first for me. I’m sure I will find a better price someday!

They've be OK by me, but then again I have only one small claim.
What are your experiences?

Geico is high but great service. 21st century is a nightmare if you need them. Connect (costco) is by far the best I have found in recent times.

We have ours through Costco. By far the cheapest we found.

Farmers was best for me. Need to get some other quotes. $5k for 1 new and 2 old vehicles is insane unless they have multiple claims or DUIs.

When did costco get into the insurance biz? are they just reseelling others insurance?

I had 3 bad experiences with them. The last one was where I was basically T-boned while driving my 2010 F150. The other driver took out my door, the rear door, and the corner of the bed along with the rear tire. The whole side of the cab had to be cut off and a new piece welded in.

What happened with the insurance company was the original appraiser that it went to quit so it was re-assigned to another appraiser. They did not get to the claim for 3 weeks causing a delay. The issue was that they would only cover the rental car for 30 days even though they were responsible for the delay. And they would not budge.

I have Travelers now and could not be happier.

Long time ago. 15 years maybe? Was Ameriprise, then Connect bought them out I think.

Costco = American Family.

I had them when they were Ameriprise, great rates, then American Family bought them and my rates jumped. I dumped them soon after.
