paying as in Florida. Does this mean the Florida Insurance Laws are alleged;y as bad as those states? What makes this worse is that Florida has many more Senior Citizens on fixed income than those states so they are hit much harder with these abusive outrages rate increases. I have had Geico for many many years and never had a claim for anything in thos 40+ years and so blindly paid their rates. This increase was so terrible (100+ increase over prior year) that it caused me take a look. Ignorance had been bliss!
Now for the good news. It has caused me to realize how I have allegedly been taken advantage of over the years and start investigating other Companies and also waking me up to the fact that over the years I was participating in their game by recommending them to my friends.
What makes it worse in Florida? older population and law suits.
