Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Anyone have any good recommendations for insurance companies for cars and house? I have State Farm currently but they've been jerking me around and rates keep going up.
Got a good deal from Allstate
If military or dependent USAA.
Not sure if they offer policies in your state, but Amica Mutual Insurance is owned by the Policyholders, sorta like a Credit Union.
They have been very helpful to us over the years with our claims.
Allstate still great for cars but absolutely a rip off for home. No lie, going without home right now while I find a company worth dealing with. Problem is inflation and fake property values making policies out of habd
I agree Allstate is a scam for home insurance. Been with them 28 years and tried to get help with my roof which is 19 years old and they would tell me it was under the deductible fee to fix. My deductible is 500 , I said nobody will roll into my driveway for that amount.
If you are in the south check out Farm Bureau or other small companies. I honestly don’t know if they are cheaper. In the event of a big storm or disaster you don’t have to call a call center. You call the office or text your agent. That’s worth it to me. My dad’s been with them my entire life and I’ve had a policy sense I was 18, 56 now.
Upvote for Farm Bureau Insurance. I switched to them from Liberty Mutual, same coverage and lower rates. I’m not paying for their stupid commercials anymore.
Ha ha, and I sure as hell wouldn’t go to the one that has “ask someone, don’t remember name” He was white now he’s black. I would shop at all black it ain’t about that. It’s changing for the masses or the agenda of the moment.
