how quickly we, and our upside-down friends, forget history

oi!

I think the Geico ads are still pretty fresh, but whenever I see a Liberty I'm likely to recall Consumer Reports' conclusion, based on customer surveys re many many auto insurance companies, that the ones with the biggest ad campaigns are shit, and have to replace many many customers every year. Unfair to single out Liberty in this regard, but as my girl says, "You can't help what you think."

i have found that NJM is good at paying out claims. it isn't too expensive but maybe will go up next year because of said claims lol.

i would be their spokesperson if they asked.

i've had a few claims with Geico in my time, never had a problem with them

I work in insurance and yeah I think most companies are good with most claims, it's the weird edge cases where things can get a little wacky. That's why I think the Dean Winters Mayhem ads are very good, because we get a lot of strange claims and it's definitely true that just picking the cheapest option isn't going to cover everything.

We had NJM when we lived in NJ and they were very good, always sent us money back at the end of the year. Now that we're in Montana we have Allstate. So far they seem...fine.

We have Travelers for auto, they are very good and fast about paying claims. Rates are competitive also.

I have had Progressive long enough that I've almost hit their top loyalty tier. The only perk left to attain? They will not drop you no matter what. It's already incredibly hard to get dropped by them as they're a carrier of last resort, so I have no idea what this means.

You don't need car insurance while in prison so presumably it'd have to be some accident where you're not at fault but manage to destroy an entire building, or something

I looked it up online and someone who was a progressive employee posted this comment
Crown literally is just adding the renewal guarantee. Believe it or not, some crown progressive policyholder has a firetruck on their personal auto policy, which is a big no-no. Idk who was fool enough to add it in the first place, but we can't do shit about it bc they're crown.

So I guess if I insure something they decide isn't insurable in the future, they're stuck

hah yep that is one of the challenges of the insurance industry you have to design a system that's smart enough to kick out all the weird shit because if something slips through and you bind it there's not really a way out of it

fwiw I'm emerald tier so when I call in they connect me directly to Flo

There's one commercial where she shows up in the rain and it's paced like a romantic comedy.

It didn't make me switch insurance but I did think it was well-done.

(Somehow after years of Progressive I ended up getting Erie. I am not sure they even have ads.)

Due to my credit only my EMERALD status at Progressive is saving me from paying a fortune for my car insurance. Even then just barely.

Next status up allows me to vandalize people's cars thrice per year
