- # It seems that GEICO keeps raising its insurance rates on
- # my car every six months. First they told me that my insurance
- # would be $400 a year. However, this was based on a six month
- # plan. At six months the rate went up $60. Now that one year
- # is coming up, they want $520 for the year BASED ON A SIX MONTH
- # POLICY.

- This is EXACTLY the stunt they pulled on me.

- 1) Ask them for a one-year policy. They refuse to write such, as
- then they can only raise the rates once a year ;-]
- 2) But for No Extra Charge - Get BS for answers as to why you are
- getting screwed.

- Note that I'm not exactly a high-risk driver - it's been 12 years since
- I had a speeding ticket, I don't drive to work [Metro] and I own a
- real high-performance beast - an 82 Datsun 210 ;-}
-
- I switched to a real insurance company, with an agent, and my
- rates went down 35%.
