I've been with USAA non-stop. Even if there was a slightly less expensive alternative for me, (which for me there has not been) the service I have received whenever I filed a claim was first class. They never tried dicking me around or anything shady. That means a lot to me when I pay them every month.

A few years ago i would have been ok with being with a smaller company but, due to the current economical climate i would stick with the big companies, the one's that the gov seems to think are too big to fail. In our area natural disaster is an eventuality and you should consider those aspects as well. Just my two cents please dont kill me.

That sucks

I'm not sure what to say to that seeing as we don't know each other, but that's really sad. I know you've got a lot of friends on i-club.

I don't know what to say. You two have been through so much in the last couple years. I'm sorry. But FWIW you guys are the best. I'm proud to know you both...

Safeco recently entirely f**cked me on my claim. I would NEVER go with them.
Over $7k of stuff stolen out of my car (parked in front of my house). They covered $200 (and I have a $500 deductible) due to various "special exclusions and limits". And I had both renters and auto insurance. Paid premiums on both without fail for the last 10 years and this was my first claim.

F**k Safeco.

What are these said exclusions? I need to take pictures of everything I own still.... thats RIDICULOUS cause their literature makes it sound like I'm fully covered.

"Coverage for loss of any CDs, DVDs or tapes is limited to a maximum of $200"

"Radar detectors are explicitly excluded from coverage."

"Any electronic equipment that plugs into the car is excluded."

And there are more....
Read the fine print.
Ask for a copy of all exceptions and exclusions and conditions.
