Farm Bureau is not bad, especially if you can fold your house insurance into the deal. I'm not sure they're in TN.

Progressive. Go see a local insurance agent. Most sell Progressive in TN. They have the best claim service in the business. Have great rates and are growing.

I used to think that the cheapo insurance was the way to go until I met a State Farm agent in a bar one day.
He took me down to his office and wrote a policy that tripled the cheapo policy coverage and was $90 a year less. I have been with them ever since (almost 20 years) |

I've been with Rockingham for 12 years now and have nothing but good things to say about them.
I have all of my ins. with them and they have given me better rates than others across the board. Business and personal. Farm Bureau is good also. Erie is OK. They have good rates for business. I've never been with State Farm but I've done claim work for a few people who had been with them for years but when they had a claim, they were cancelled and had to sue or threaten to sue to get their claims paid. The last time I checked (about a year and a half ago) GEICO and Progressive wanted about 50% more than what I'm paying now. No bargains there IMHO. |

Thanks for all the help so far. I've found Liberty Mutual to have the best price. Geico and Progressive was so out out of the ball park I think they were in the next town. I haven't had a claim in over 12 years even though i could of for a break in...it just wasn't worth it to pay higher costs cause some bumb took my radio.

Progressive is fine UNLESS you need to collect. Ask any body shop about those CROOKS. They really beat the repair down and try to insist on bogus parts. Avoid like the clapp!
I use State Farm. Like all insurance they suck but not quite as bad. |

I use [b]Allstate[/b]. I hope they never cancel me.
I crashed my car last February. I only had to make one phone call. They arranged and scheduled with the body shop. They arranged and scheduled for my rental car. They kept in contact with the body shop and gave me a follow up call as far as the progress of my car. It got damn annoying cause they'd call every day. I only had to write one check to the body shop, which was my deductable. Then a month later I got a follow up call to check about my car. Then I got a gift certificate in the mail for a local car wash from my Allstate agent to get my car washed. Now that is SERVICE!!! I also have my VA, Renters Insurance(including insurance on my guns for current value not purchase value), and VUL. |

Call your state insurance board and find out who the direct insurers are. Here, we only have like 3 or 4. The rest are brokers who are going to take their cut.
Anyone singing the praises of State Farm ought to remember they are anti-gun. |

I'd be even more concerned that they have lost several billion dollars in the last few years.

Geico is awesome, but you need to talk to them on the phone so you can get discounts and trash. I'm paying about $400 less than the quote that I just got from 21st century. But the standard quote is probably pretty high. Having an account with navy fed, being military, and then there's the good driver discounts (if they only knew) and stuff like that. Really takes it down quite a bit.

USAA is unbeatable on price, and you'll never find a greater outfit. Some outfits you'll wonder if they'll make a fuss over firearms. Not with USAA.

USAA all the way, there is LITERALLY nothing better.....I am a 24 yrs old with a sports coupe living in Los Angeles, with $500,000 of insurance, $300,000 in uninsured insurance, $100,000 in medical pay, have 24/7 roadside assistance, and have been very graciously helped out when my car was broken into, no questions asked. I only pay $100 a month, really can't beat it. If you can, get USAA

Cheaper might be better if you have nothing but liability. Of course, if the insurance company acts in bad faith in paying a claim, the other person will come after you for the money.
If you have collision, you probably want a company that will take care of you. State Farm is pretty good in that regard. |

Well, being the resident "insurance whore" (according to some people) on this board, I am well-qualified to give advice on this matter. I am licensed in 15 states and sell for 11 companies, including Travelers, Hartford, GE, Leader, Infinity, Omni, Hannover, Allmerica, Kemper, Esurance, and Atlanta Casualty. This is all done under the aegis of Ford Motor Company.
Most people don't even understand their coverages and deductibles. Many companies have whacked fees for doing monthly payments or getting actual paper bills in the mail vs. doing electronic payments. Some actually guarantee your rate for 12 months instead of a measly 6 months. When I talk to people there are a number of hard and fast rules I live by. If I am saving someone under $100 a year and they've been with their company more than 10 years I tell them to stay put unless they are unhappy with their service. If they are with USAA (and I've been with them for 21 years) I don't even try - I tell them that the next 20 minutes will be a waste of their time because we have NEVER beaten them and they are a great company (and I know this from personal experience). Luckily, though, in most states we're in (especially TN, CA, FL, OH, and NC) we are kicking major ass on rates. I wrote 6 policies yesterday (including a homeowners, which we also do) and saved these people from $250 on the low end to $1696 on the high end - that guy was VERY happy with his new rate! (and now, for a little "whoring") - if you'd like a quote, email me at - [email protected] |

All body shop have the right to refuse to repair any car for any insurance company. SO why do they all do business with crooks?[/red] They really beat the repair down and try to insist on bogus parts. Avoid like the clapp! [red]I belive it was State Farm that was sued in a class action lawsuit for using after market parts and lost.[/red] I use State Farm. Like all insurance they suck but not quite as bad.

I am still paying about 40 bucks more than Geico, but from what Greywolf said, I think I will let him keep that 40 bucks. I have been VERY happy with the service from them. (And he's got a hot secretary AND good gun coverage!) |

USAA - auto and home. they have been real good about getting the boys on the policy (No cost when on learners permits) and when my oldest went on active duty the got him a no car policy on his own account that made his rates much cheaper when he got a car. He then had insurance history before getting his first car.
They also were great when the copper repiping blew in the wall and the repiping company was gone. |
