That's about 1K rounds of .308!

I would suggest talking to a local autobody shop about service from the various insurance companies. They might have some valuable insight.

Let me guess, you traded shooting lessons with the gecko for a low rate?

Yeah, but now you'll feel guilty when the local chamber of commerce mounts their "support your community, shop locally" campaign. Oh, the agony!

Of course you can buy a lot of ammo and booze to ease your pain for $200. Which you can spend locally. Boy, are you lucky that I found this loophole for your conscience.

and find what it says about Geico.

If you should get a speeding ticket where the officer is using a radar gun, you might want to ask if Geico supplied the radar gun. Then you might want to check on how high your rates jump for - say - the next 3 years. This is one way Geico gets to set such low initial rates!

I have heard much about Geico's tendency to drop policies like a hot potato if you ever make a significant claim, as well.

I'm happy paying more to State Farm, because I am absolutely confident they won't try to screw me over in the long run. (I'm sure this is true of other large providers, too.)

I went through the Geico site. A minor quibble is that it actually does ask for SS number, but if you click on the additional information it tells you that it is not required for the initial quote. I was surprised that Geico came in $44 per year more expensive than my current State Farm policy. It is still a good idea to shop around regularly.
