I have had Geico for a while and their rates were the lowest quoted. For my A5 and the C63, I pay 800$ less than the next best quote rate that i got for the year. Best thing is that, they automatically decrease the premium when its time to renew without requiring to call them up for a re-quote. besides, the customer service was excellent too when i got into an incident few months ago.

So the lizard is getting thirsty, eh?! Anyway, my experience with them has been positive. The quote I got was also the lowest compared to other insurers.

I got screwed by just about everyone out there when it came to insurance. Best rate was AAA by a long shot. Like you VIC i prequote all my cars before purchasing the car.
I think I pay about $100/month. Full coverage with AAA. $1500 deductible. 5K miles a year.

Im actually on the opposite end of this---- been with them for 5 years---- I pre quote all of my purchases (and I buy a lot of cars) and their quotes are always as stated. Where they get a little creative in the quote process is that they add some extra "optional" stuff like Mechanical Breakdown Protection, Rental, and Medical. I just unclick these and move on.
I use the internet to get their quotes so its in writing.

yes my rate just got bumped up for an extra $600 for 6 months by GEICO.
I called in and was told the premium rate of C63 has been adjusted this year.

AAA quoted me $1700 for a whole year with all coverages maxed out and a $500 deductible. Plus, they cover anything bolted to the car as far as aftermarket parts go.

My old insurance that I dealt with for the road debris tried to get me to renew for $1700 for 6 mos. I said hell no. They were a pain to deal with and only offered a $5k max for aftermarket parts.

What I've learned with them though is DO NOT just do a quote online. Go in and sit down with a representative, they do a much better job that way.

Sounds about right. I'm guessing I pay a little less ~$500 per year for the higher deductible. AAA has been my insurance carrier since I started driving 8 years ago. So far no issues with them when I got hit (completely the other driver's fault by a long shot) and they took care of everything with no bump in my rates.
