Nice post. I don't blame Geico though, looking over their butt. But they don't seem to understand the line between car customizer/tuner and street racer.

I think someone posted this before or something very similar. Some of the stuff they put is just stupid. Playing tag with my car? Hell no. I'd cry if I get another dent. But I guess they're just watching their asses. My 2 pesos.

Oh, they WILL.

They are using this to set up a way to decline even more LEGITIMATE claims.
Others will likely follow.

The article is dumb. Geico is trying to imply street racing accidents are costing them so much money, when there making billions of dollars a yr. They try to make it seem like there concerned about teenage drives when it seems to me there just trying to find excuses to raise rates. Increases in insurance rates have far outpaced inflation.

I agree people who commit insurance fraud should be punished but i can somewhat understand it. The insurance company screws you, you want to screw them back when you have a chance. It's BS when your insurance is higher then your car payments.

I just checked how much it would be to insure my car and this is the quote they gave me:

Kevin, your
6 month GEICO INDEMNITY rate is:
$9929.70

Then I checked with Progessive Auto Insurance they gave me:

Your 6 month policy premium
Pay in full - $4,757.00 (includes pay in full discount)
Start a policy today for $882.51

I thought Geico was suppose to have the best rates out there?

I have never once had any problems with my insurance company. Geico's quote for the exact service I have now was around $5,000 a year. I currently pay somewhere between $600 and $700 every 6 months.

Big Rob has a little shameless behaviour in the past
So, more stickers = higher rates. Huge wings = higher rates. Neons = higher rates. Maybe that is a good move. Maybe that is a good thing. Maybe that will keeps those "sins against cars" off of the street. I'm not saying that all cars with stickers, huge wings, and neons look bad. But for every car that I've seen it applied in a stylish way, I've seen 10 cars that have done in it a matter that is so horrible that my eyes begin to bleed and I burst into flames. I can't take much more of that. I'm sick of being blind and in the burn unit at my hospital.

I hate insurance!!! If I were in a better place financially, I would drop back to liability only. I have paid the insurance co approximately $20,000 since I got my license and I have never had a claim. I haven't had a moving violation in 6 years and never had a wreck. They're still charging me $600 for a 6 month policy on a f*cking civic.

$1200 a YEAR????? Full coverage??? And you are complaining when so many pay $5000 and up?

I'm 41, been driving 23 years clean. And I have to pay $1800 a year. And that's a GOOD rate in LA. Quit yer whining. My brother is getting raped for 9k a year on his 04 accord.

But I agree..... we ALL hate insurance.

9K a year!!!! SUX! By the time the car is paid for, he will have bought it twice. Yeah, that is a good rate for LA. But I live in BFE, so $1200 is not good, and that's the best rate I could find. 5 G's and up are probably gonna be your teenagers and people who live metro area's. I have been told the rate is relatively high is due to civic's having high theft rates.

Holy carp! do you guys really pay that much for insurance?

I pay $900 for 6 months and my car is insured for everything, right down to full replacement of the car with a brand new civic if it was ever stolen.

EDIT: sorry long time between post
