Riding with the Lizard
I decided to get some automobile insurance quotes this morning. We have our automobile insurance with Allied Insurance. I have had this policy for 20+ years. I added Laura 10 years ago. The premium is $ 1506.60 annually.
I completed the online form and got a quote from Geico. The premium would be $ 1118.40. That would represent a savings of $ 388.20. That is a significant savings, and I was eager to initiate the change. Laura suggested I get a quote from Progressive Insurance. The quote was $2185.60!
GREAT SCOTT!
