We had no claims or accidents and they would have a 8-10% increase every 6 months. They always had an excuse like cost's and whatever. I currently have my ins with Allstate and love it. I had to get my windshield replaced because of a stone chip. I called them and they took care of it in a few days. Also, some kid wrote with a stone on my trunk lid 2 weeks ago, (in Great Falls at a basketball game) of course, we don't know who did it. I called them and they gave me the name of a repair center close to the house. I haven't gone yet but all I need to do is make an appt and pay the $50 deductible when they are done. I can't imagine anything being much easier. Ask GEICO about their renewals. I think they give you a low rate to get you in the door, then screw you at renewal. I saved about $200 per year by going with Allstate over what GEICO was charging. Good Luck and post your results on the net, will be interesting. *************************************************************************** Kathy M.
