we had allstate auto insurance started checking around when my twin boys got their license two months ago. The difference from allstate 542.00 a month state farm 274 monthly had them check my homeowners while they were checking saved me almost 500 a year.

I think they just randomly jack your premiums for all those people that actually never look at their bills. I used to switch insurance companies about every 3-4 years because of this. I have had allstate for some time now and they have never tried that crap so I am still here.

Anyone looking at homeowners insurance READ YOUR POLICY carefully. LOOK FOR LOOPHOLES. I didn't, and when everything in my home was stolen and the house was destroyed inside. I wasn't covered for most of the loss. Been three years now with just a shell of a house, no kitchen, trim, carpets, appliances, paint etc. All the "experts" say walk away and let the bank take it.

Ours went up to. I called my insurance agent and asked her to shop my policy around. She told me if I was a AAA member that nobody could beat there prices. My house insurance went from $1200 a year to $595 a year. Same coverage. The cars went down about $200 a year. My mom used to work in insurance and said you should shop it around every year.
