Geico insurance

[seuadr]

i'm gonna have to second bwringer on dairyland.. i just called to get a quote through them and they are cheaper than nationwide.. which was much cheaper than anyone else. nationwide is offering a free membership for 1 year to the AMA and with that, you get a 10% discount.. but dairyland was cheaper even if i decide to join the AMA and pay it out of my own pocket.. and their quote didn't include the 10% for joining!

I have had good luck with Progressive. The few times I have needed to call them, they have been helpful and easy to deal with. My yearly premium has not changed since I started with them about ten years ago and I've insured 10+ bikes with them during that time.

ya i got a couple tickets on my record, mediocre credit, and less than 2 years recent riding experence.. and i could get 50/100 liability, 50k uninsured motorist, and 20,000 property damage for 170 for the year. she also said when those tickets drop off my record it should drop my premium around 40 dollars. next cheapest was nationwide for 240, allstate wanted 265.

I am excruciatingly frugal. I use Markel.

RJ, I would've thought you had...

I've been quite happy for the last two years with Dairyland/Sentry -- about $70/year for liability only on my two old shafties.

The few times I've had a question, they were professional and prompt.

Bwringer,
thanks for the heads up, I am now insured with them.
-73.46 (242.04 Vs. 168.58) less than my current insurer and very nice people to deal with.

I ended up going with progressive to insure my KZ550. I am a first time rider with one incident on my auto driving record in the past 3 yrs. Full coverage was 198.00 per year. I went with 100k/300k liability limits,$2500 medical payment, $250 deductible for comp and collision. The difference between liability and full coverage was only $30 so I figured what the hell. I checked on a quote for the GS750, similiar limits but because of multi vehicle discount, safety course discount..etc it was $183 per year. Liability only was $136.
When I checked on Geico it was about 800 dollars a year.

I've had Geico for myself for 12 years, and on my son fir the last few years since he's been driving. Full coverage on my truck, liability on his 94 Bronco, house insurance thru them with travellers, and now mc insurance for 2 bikes. Thru the years, they
ve paid claims when my car was stolen and almost totalled, when my son totalled his pickup trying to avoid a deer, when my Mercedes was totalled and my rates are still lower than most. With a 20 year old on the policy, its gonna be expensive no matter who, but I've never had a problem or an issue with them.
I still sheck once ayear with that online comparison thing thru Progressive and the same coverage is still a deal thru Geico.

I insured the bike with Geico, for a good price. minimal coverage, as I always do. I paid the year in advance, as I also prefer to do.

However, I found out this week they practice a form of extortion. They added full coverage to my policy, and mailed me an opt out form in with all the other policy crap, then charged me for the difference when they did not get the form back opting out of the added coverages.

So they canceled the policy for non payment of coverages I never requested in the first place.

Go with someone else, a few dollars cheaper ain't worth it.

I don't know how you could call them cheap. They wanted three times what Markel wanted for less coverage on the bike...and double what Nationwide wants for the car and truck for the same coverage.
