Have you done this? Did you get tagged as an annual switcher and
denied the low rate from the new company after a few years of
switching?
I just wonder if it's worth it. They all advertise that "we can save
you money". Theoretically, then, after so many years I can have free
insurance? What a joke.
How far back do insur. companies check to see if you've been a former
customer? I know my rate went sky high with Geico the year after they
paid a big claim.
Thanks for any experiences

I am with GEICO and sometimes I do price auto insurance around. I found
one or two companies that matched the premium I pay now with GEICO, but
none that are lower. Considering that staying with one auto insurance
company over time gives you more credibility and history with that
company, I figure its best to stay with the one company unless you can
find a substantially lower premium elsewhere and the new company has a
good reputation.

Many companies give a longevity discount after a certain number of renewals.
You could also check into
a driving course that would lower your premium.

Update: renewal arrived - a little over $200 LESS than last year's.
I guess I shan't rock ye boat.
