Deductible is 500What was your coverage limits, deductible
Yup, I was disappointed with USAA, they are a fine company. But the difference with GEICO was much more than I could over look. I was shocked at the difference. Maybe they will see a trend in losing such long term customers over their calculations for this car.Had USAA for 28 years, until I added the Shelby. My insurance went up 180 a month, making my six months $1890:eyebulge:
Called GEICO and provided them my information, 7500 miles per year, 500 deductible, 2016 MustangGT, Ford Fiesta, and now the Shelby, $619 six months:clap2:
Called USAA back to see if they would match, no go. I also stated that GEICO asked about my military, retired 30 years, government affiliation, employed as senior government as well as my wife, each of us with clean driving record with 4 good driving points each, each double graduate degree holders, own home, and professional associations. USAA said my military service is all they used for my rates, nothing else. They were flabbergasted by my quote by GEICO, and could only muster a 200 annual reduction. All I can say, switching to GEICO from USSA saved me nearly 3k a year because we also switched home owners insurance. Pays to shop around for sure.
For sure. The USAA rep finally stated she did not know how GEICO is done my such lower rates, and I said as a customer, it also comes down to the bottom line. Too bad USAA would not match.Yup, I was disappointed with USAA, they are a fine company. But the difference with GEICO was much more than I could over look. I was shocked at the difference.

Good advice. I'm going to chew on it a while and do some more research.I wouldn't trust geico at all. Way too many horror stories. I've seen signs in repairs shops that say they won't even take Geico insurance claims. I've had people tell me when they've called geicos roadside that the contacts they use refuse to come out since geico undercuts everything.
Just like anything else, you get what you pay for. 95% of the time you insurance company doesn't matter. It's a piece of paper in your glovebox. It's when something happens are you going to see if they are good or not. I wouldn't roll the dice. Not worth the risk to me.
I've heard many bad things about Geico, one of the major ones being people getting their rates raised every year for no reason.Good advice. I'm going to chew on it a while and do some more research.
