| I've had my auto insurance with the same company (Company A) for the past 25 years. When I called Company A to place my new car on the policy, I was sold an umbrella policy. I then called my home insurance company (Company B) to make sure my home was insured for the minimum amount stipulated by the umbrella policy. I was then quoted a lower home insurance rate and auto insurance rate if I purchase an umbrella policy from Company B.
I thought I had read an article somewhere about the pitfalls of changing to a new insurance company after years of being with the former company or am I just being paranoid? Your thoughts please. |

| I don't see any problem, I've switched companies. I do some looking every couple of years. Maybe company C will better both A & B, |

| Jut as important as the rates - what data does your state dept. of insurance show as the rankings on customer service complaints? |

| After being with the same company for 20+ years (and getting shafted when I had a claim), I've learned to review my ins every few years. I see no problem at all with switching, just take jkmom's suggestion about cust service complaints... |

| I bought homeowners insurance from the same person I had car insurance with for years. A couple weeks ago my home was hit hard by a hail storm (it did over thirty thousand dollars worth of damage). Apparently two of my vehicles were totalled as well. On the bright side I only paid one deductible for all three things (2 cars / 1 home). My claim for the cars is done and work will commence on my roof in less than a week. We still need to choose siding colors, etc. before that work can start but that is not the insurance companies fault. It was a good thing for us. |
