Why is there such a big difference in premiums from reputable car insurance vs. "cheap"??

Question:
Sorry for my use of generalizations, but its no big secret.
reputable: American Family, State Farm, Farmers etc
"cheap": progressive, geico, etc.
why are my quotes 3 times higher for the reputable, is it worth the drastic rate increase?

Answers:

How much is ticket for no insurance?

The "cheap" carriers tend to cover less. For example, Geico doesn't cover aftermarket parts where as Allstate will. (I know, I've been there.) If you have tinted windows and your window is broken, Geico pays for the window, not the tint; Allstate will pay for both. Additionally, the reputable carriers have more resources to assist with repairs, etc whereas the cheap carriers may not have the same level of or quality of resources.

Can someone tell me what this means?


Also, the "cheap" carriers find themselves in more lawsuits than the reputable carriers..cheap is worried about the bottom line, reputable is worried about defending their insured.

really i would not put progressive in the group you have there, i have local help from progressive, i go talk to ONE person who knows me, and my truck, personally. i like that regardless of the price, but they are much less expensive. much more is done online with that company so there is less spent on overhead.

Back in the '80s the Auto Club had dirt cheap rates for sports cars because nobody with a sports car got insurance with them thinking they would be way expensive. So because they didn't have many sports cars (and sports car claims to pay), they were real cheap.

The thing to do is get with a good quality company and stick with them for a long time.

The reputable companies are cheaper for some vehicles, ages, etc. They price higher on risks they don't want - like young drivers. Plus, companies rates are changing all the time. You may want to try getting a quote online. I am paying less than ½ of what I was before.
