No input on Allstate, sorry, but just your friendly BK reminder that if you stay with your current one, your mortgage payment will go up, so you'll want to make sure your attorney adds that into your new budget.

I use Allstate and they have been good so far. I also found them to be the cheapest. I switched about a year ago from State Farm and saved a couple hundred dollars this year.

I'm digging Allstate. We actually added a vehicle when we switched (or switched as a result of the quote for adding a vehicle) and our rates went from $260 a month for four vehicles (three full coverage, one liability, three drivers) to less than $200 a month for five vehicles (added one liability). AND they really did send that good driver reward check! We cashed it, LOL, so that's awesome! I NEED to switch our homeowners insurance to them for the double discount (and I bet it will be cheaper, but assuming it is, anyway).

I shopped several companies and Allstate was not only the cheapest, but they gave equal-to or better-than coverage than the other companies we had quotes from. We switched from Liberty Mutual. Geico could meet the price but the coverage wasn't even close. Progressive had comparable coverage but they were more expensive. State Farm was through the roof in price. I don't remember any others off the top of my head. I'm in VA, FWIW.

I recently switched from Allstate to Grange. Grange was cheaper than allstate (with higher coverage limits), but the reason i started looking was that our agent said we had to have autodraft to do monthly payments, but when they didn't draft ontime, told be to send in a payment - which I did online, then they got their acts fixed to set up the auto and drafted in the same month. An extra 243.00! Needless to say it overdrew my checking account, resulted in numerous fees and Allstate basically said tough

I like the Hartford and since you are over 45, they also have an AARP plan that I use for my car insurance and it was the cheapest of anyone.

I'll agree on the AARP - Hartford insurance.

I guess I should enjoy the honeymoon phase with Allstate, then. Ugh. So far our rates have dropped every six months.
