Flo, on those stupid insurance commercials

(49,445 posts)The commercials are usually interesting and creative. Usually.
"Mayhem" was better but I think haf more of a fundamental limit of what you could do with it.
I have State Farm myself; after my accident 5 years ago (not my fault) my car was totalled out. I didn't have a job and I had just moved back into my parent's house with my kid, so I bummed around looking for work and taking him to the beach. I finally got a car in September... and they wanted to more than double my rate. On a cheaper car.
Why? "There was a break in my coverage".
I had no car to insure. But it didn't matter.
That company was Progressive.
I called my parent's agent after getting the same story from Geico, Allstate, and Amica, and State Farm was able to insure me for less than half what Progressive and the others were offering.
They had nice rates prior and good customer service, but my break in coverage was because of some under-insured asshole in a Volvo (also their customer), not me.
