I guess this explains the "good news" about my auto insurance savings when I switched to GEICO last year (I have a PhD).

Stupid people can't compare rates.
To: mathprof
Their commercials are enough to keep me from switching.
Besides, my good neighbor agent has taken good care of me for the past dozen years or so.

Their commercials are some of the wittiest, it's not saying alot, but compared to the pharm industry, I'd rather watch a lizard in make believe than some guy who can't get it up. do they still play those Bob comercials?
To: mathprof
"Unfair" would be forcing everyone the pay the same rate, despite differences in risk.

GEICO'S rates are so "unfair" I saved $3500 on my auto insurance.
I had Farmers(?) Insurance.

The new gecko commercials are wretched. I liked the originals, kind of.

Anybody that would sign up for Auto Insurance from a lisping British Gecko deserves the rate they get!

A leading U.S. consumer group Monday accused Geico Corp. of using consumers' education backgrounds and occupations as criteria in setting auto insurance rates, resulting in discrimination against minorities and lower-income people. I have no idea if they do this but I do know that when we retired and moved back to Pennsylvania from Virginia we called Geico for a rate. We then called Allstate, Progressive and State Farm. Allstate was the cheapest for the same coverage on all quotes.

Geico is not licensed in Massachusetts.

No ****. (hypothetically) I drive good, live in a rural area, am over 40, you have 3 dui's, under 25, live in the city and are looking for a personal injury attorney.
If they don't like Geico's rates they should buy from another carrier. But then they'd miss all the fun of being a "victim."

I don't believe this. I saved a ton with Geico! (and I am an idiot)

Saved almost 400 dollars a year and a bit more coverage to boot.
No complaints so far.
I'm a plumber so I suppose that's why I get a lower rate too.

As witnessed so far on this thread. Some 'conservatives' don't know the meaning of capitalism.

I guess this includes those twits over at DU :)

I don't care if their commercials have Barbara Mikulski playing a tuba dressed in a thong. Their rates are hundreds of dollars lower than the " good neighbor's".

In the PRM (P. R. of Massachusetts) we are forced to buy from a limited number of mostly in-state insurers. Low risk drivers like me subsidize high risk drivers, but the issue is far too politically charged for anyone to touch it.
