I've ended up ping ponging back between the same two as they compete to get my business but not compete to retain me.

I never ever pay for parking in Manhattan. Bike, moto, public transport or uber/lyft. Rare occasions, I street park. I've lived in or extremely close to Manhattan for 20 years.

yes exactly

My insurance has been going up, time to switch. Got the bloody stuff bundled with my home and umbrella so a bit of a pain to switch.

I used to do the same until I noticed they they kept creeping it up like equ described. 10 years, no accidents, and they just kept raising it. Pissed me off.

I switched and saved a bundle.

That's the weird thing for me. I've priced around and yet to get a quote that beats what I pay for State Farm. No tickets or accidents. It is what it is, I guess.

I've had State Farm for ages, just switched 3 vehicle, house and umbrella to Allstate, save a little over 875 bucks. But now all 5 policies will be renewing on the same date

And I now have better coverage. SC's minimum coverage needed is very small, Allstate agent said I should also have under-insured coverage. I had coverage for idiots with no insurance.

State Farm was also charging me for towing, but I pay for AAA+ and Coachnet for the RV

I feel like we need an Auto Insurance 101 spinoff so we can get this thread back to M3
