Had Geico for many years. Then switched to Hartford through AARP and saved some money. Last year, I asked Villages Insurance if they could find me a better rate. Now I have Progressive. Same coverage at a much better rate. Progressive sent me something to plug into my car to monitor my driving habits for a few months. Since I don't drive the car that much (golf cart is my primary vehicle), I qualified for a big discount. Villages Insurance also helped me find home insurance and golf cart insurance. They do a great job shopping around for you.

All the responses have been helpful...trying to do my homework. :024: Please keep the info coming. It's always helpful to talk with those who have been there and done it.

I had Hartford via AARP until I bought a GEM. They could not insure it, so I switched to Allstate. Found out later that Allstate did not cover me for Uninsured Motorist (I would expect most of the contractors do not have full coverage, so if they hit you, they don't pay) so I checked around and found coverage for nearly half of what I was paying through AAA. Whoever you choose, you need to make sure you get Uninsured motorist coverage (not required in Florida).

FYI "Uninsured Motorist" (UM)coverage pays if the at fault driver is uninsured. If the at fault party has inadequate policy limits to pay the claims of injured parties, you need "Underinsured Motorist" (UIM) coverage.

Bottom line, you need both uninsured and underinsured motorist coverages to protect yourself.

Usaa
 
If anyone in your family is a veteran, USAA can't be beat. Their pricing is terrific and their service, if you need it, is impeccable.

Check with Allstate, AARP, The Villages Insurance, USAA, State Farm. They gave us quotes and were the best rates we found (except for Safeco).

great information

I got a quote from USAA and Progressive still beat them out. I think the low mileage might have made the difference for me. I have heard good things about USAA.
