  • Insurance Companies are A-holes

    My current insurance broker decided to drop the insurance company I've used for the past 4 years, because of this they have canceled my policy effective 07/22. They inform me of my new policy which will cost $50/year less than what I am normally paying. Great!

    Still, I decide to get competitive bids and check to see what my current insurance company would give me. All other bids comeback much higher stating the reason is because I have a dog. WTF? I had a dog 4 years ago and no one gave a sheit. I've had the dog for 10 years and she's never bitten anyone or destroyed any house, so what gives? Changing your guidelines midstream like that? If I knew I you would change my rates because I owned a dog for greater than 10 years I would have fed it bacon it's whole life so it died at 9! This really ticks me off.

    Also, the company I am currently with says they are fine with the dog since I've had it for so long and they have covered me with it for the past 4 years and gives me a bid that is lower than my current brokers lower bid. Needless to say I'm sticking with my insurance company and switching brokers. Still, this is some silly sheit they're pulling and I don't need this headache the day before I'm going on vacation.

    Because of a dog?

      Why go with a broker? Looks like he's just skimming off the top for no good effect.
      I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Our broker went through Progressive and we did this ourselves and got the same rate. I use a broker to package the deals and find me the best ones. If I have to pay a rate it's only for that service, nothing more.

          OK. Are there a lot of different insurance companies to choose from, or is it the usual cast of half-dozen characters?

            It's the normal lot plus a few others I've never heard of. The one I've had for the past 4 years is an obscure one and I've been really happy with them, so I'm staying with them.
