I dropped my GEICO insurance last year due to the big increases they
were putting on every 6 months.  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.
