Reply to comment by trixiewutang in Even with Geico, this state finds ways to screw me… by electrowiz64

We’re moving in a year (out of state) so I’m trying to hold out another year to make sure I’m getting the BEST rates for us in the new area.

Honestly, I wouldn’t wait on it. You could be putting those savings towards your move, friend! The “beauty” of capitalism is that if you don’t like a business, you can walk away and find one that works for you. Car insurance is set up like that, and Geico will keep charging you until you’re fed up and decide the annoyance of shopping around is worth it. Doing it twice could save you money, but maybe if you choose a national provider, they just need to update your info and wouldn’t change your payment? Not sure but worth a try.

Why would you wait? That makes no sense.

I thought it’s an issue switching back & forth so frequently but I guess fuck it, I’ll start looking

Not at all. They want your money. They don’t care how much you switch to their company. I just switched last week. My car ins went from $152 a month to $87 a month. Now I bundled homeowners ins with my auto ins when I switched to State Farm but if I didn’t bundle it still woulda been only $104 a month. That’s for 2 people yet & we don’t have bare bones ins either, also have a $500 deductible so not too bad. The only real disadvantage to constant switching is it’s a slight pain to get stuff switched over.
