Not sure about this insurance, but I'm interested in changing after a very poor experience with state farm. They are not the kind of company they once were.

I currently have all my policies with State Farm: 2 auto, home, life and rental. Looks like they only offer home and auto. Have to see how that impacts my bundle discounts with State Farm if I switch only some policies.

I'm not in California, but I do have their insurance. Huge savings...Progressive was beating other major providers by almost $1k...but they kept ridiculously increasing even with my "diamond loyalty" discounts. Costco's deal with American Family Insurance/Connect ran $590 for a 6-month premium and included 2 cars with full coverage, + roadside assistance which is automatically included if you have the Costco Executive membership. Before I upgraded to Executive (for mortgage loan discount), I only had the roadside assistance on the older car (new one is included through maker). I didn't add the rental car option since I don't need it (two cars). This coverage has a $500 deductible for collision, and $250 for comprehension.


They were true to the word when something on the highway hit my car, I used their recommended repair place and only paid $250 and they fixed everything (bumper, wheel cover, re-calibrated the cameras). Just for comparison -- Progressive 6-month premium had increased to almost $1k for one car w/full coverage, the other liability only and a much larger deductible.


The insurance is the only reason I keep Costco...I'm not into frozen/convenience food and Sam's Club is much closer to me with cheaper gas. Also, if you don't renew your Costco membership, you can keep the Costco discount for your current insurance premium, and then 6 months after that. The Executive membership offers just enough of an extra discount (and the automatic roadside assistance) that it is worth the $60 more a year.

If you live is Washinston State, PEMCO has the best quote both auto + home combined! I recently switched from Progressive auto and AMFam home. Progressive is low also but AMFam raised my home rate by 2X...those con cacs! FYI: I've never had a claim on home ins for 24 years, and clean driving record. I am asian.

JUST spend a few minutes getting online quotes and SAY NO TO PRICE GOUGING INSURANCE COMPANIES!

Progressive is still cheaper for me for the same coverage by about $45 for a 6 month policy. ($430 vs $475). Not worth the effort considering I'd have to pay $60 to upgrade to Executive to get the $100 costco cash card, so the net savings will close to zero all said and done (not including the Executive card savings over a year).

Ours was better with 5 and 6 cars.

Needed to add 7th car. Connect couldn't do it because a JDM import.
They transferred us over to progressive agent(from connect)
$1100 less with 7 cars vs only 6 cars SAME LEVEL COVERAGES.


SHOP AROUND EVERY YEAR!!

Extremely more expensive compared with Allstate. I'm not sure how they can be in business with high price.

Cheap rates that you don't want to use unless it's catastrophic. It's insurance, there's not much to complain about. My home rates went up but car rate went down. I chalk it up to contractors making big bucks these days, but otherwise they don't f you over with rate increases every year.

Will try it out. I'm coming from Geico, which in the past 5ish years have given me much lower premiums then all the other main competitors and I usually check ever 1-2 years.

Do you guys recommend I try to combine this with home owners insurance? I'm currently with Liberty Mutual.
