Switch car insurance and let the agent cancel the old one
The poster's GEICO renewal came in at $2,123. He says Meta Muse found a Progressive policy for $1,536 with better coverage, and puts his yearly saving at $1,174. Muse then called GEICO to cancel the old policy. When GEICO wanted to speak to him, Muse called him and merged the calls, and he was on the line for about a minute to confirm who he was and give a reason for cancelling. He posted it as a #MuseMoneyChallenge entry, and his own numbers don't fully add up, so treat the saving as his rough figure. The useful part is the order: new policy first, cancellation second.
Poster's claim, not verified: The poster says he saves about $1,174 a year. We haven't verified it.
Copy this prompt
My car insurance renews on [DATE] at [PRICE] with [INSURER]. Here is my current policy: [PASTE OR ATTACH DECLARATIONS PAGE]. Get quotes from at least three other insurers with the same or better coverage: same liability limits, deductibles and extras. Show them side by side with anything that differs. Don't buy anything until I pick one. Once the new policy is active, call [INSURER] to cancel the old one and ask about any refund for unused time.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Don't cancel the old policy until the new one is active. Even one day without coverage can cause problems.
- Compare the declarations pages line by line. A cheaper quote often has a higher deductible or lower limits.
