You would think big names are always better. You would think. We had Geico before and someone hit my wife's PT Cruiser from behind and knocked her into the car in front of her. Well the guy that hit her had State Farm and refused to pay up so Geico said to just pay them the deductible so they could fix the car and they would go after State Farm no problem and we would be refunded our money that we paid. So we paid the $250 deductible to Geico and they fixed the car, about a month later Geico was kind enough to cancel our policy then a month later we got a letter from them saying that it was all settled and State Farm wasn't paying so sorry.
What a bunch of ****. All this time we paid the bigger insurance company more money thinking they would take better care of us then a smaller company. Right. I will pay this smaller Unitrin company less money and I seriously doubt they can treat us any worse than crappy Geico did.
Go ahead and pay more but I refuse to do it on the hopes of being treated better just because of a big name.
By the way it is nothing like buying insurance from some Mexicans on a street corner. They were rated an A by A.M. Best Co which is a big insurance rating company. Do a search and try and find an A rating by AM Best for any of those side of the road Mexican insurance companies then get back with me.
