Default Amica insurance

Because of another thread on here, I decided to check them how. Holy cow! $8K/year. Double what I am paying with Geico. Are they THAT MUCH better?

You probably got that from my post on another thread. I have had Amica since 1976 and I pay $837 minus 20% annual dividend which equals $670 per year for my Vette and that is for full coverage, liability, comprehensive, collision, fire & theft and full glass coverage. I don't know how you came up with a quoted price of $8K per year. You must have one he** of a driving record.

Clean record for both me and my wife (no claims or moving violations), car is garaged. Yes, I am in NYC, but my quotes usually average $1,800 to $2,000 with Geico, State Farm, All State, etc. Quote was for 300/300 with $1000 deductable.

Wow. Must be a mistake.

My parents, who have been with Amica for almost 20 years, just recently switched to another insurer and the savings are significant.

I am with GEICO ever since I began driving, have the best coverage they offer and to be honest I don't see why you would need anything more unless you plan on inflicting some real serious property damages.

When I dropped my targa top on the pavement like an idiot, they covered the replacement with no questions asked. They even let me get the quote from the dealer of my choice.

Get a quote from Erie if they're available in NY. I recently received quotes from every major insurance company and none of them were able to beat Erie.

I have Amica for the past couple years and am paying just under $800 a year in Florida. I am surprised that the price diff is that great for the OP. Amica for me and my wife (clean driving records) has the best prices for us and we shopped more than 6 companies in our comparison.

I switched to Amica several months ago after being with Allstate for decades. Result is a boatload of $$$ savings by switching all my lines of insurance to Amica. Homeowners will be 1/3 less after the annual dividend. Allstate wanted over $1800/yr when I bought the ZR1. After paying about $900/yr on the 06Z, I thought that $1800 was completely over the top and forced me to shop my car insurance for the very first time in my life. Amica quoted less than $600/yr for the ZR1. So I moved 4 vehicles/3 drivers/home/umbrella over to Amica and saved big on every single item. I have the feeling that Amica rewards very low risk policyholders with very low premiums.

Years ago when I first started with Amica, you had to have a good driving record and needed to be referred by an existing Amica policy holder.

I got a quote for my 2011 Jeep Cherokee and they want almost $1,900 a year, I pay $900 with Geico a year. My Vette I pay $480 a year with American Modern.
Think I will stick with what I have

Love Amica! $1700/year total for both cars with full coverage and 500 deductible on both cars. Also have my homeowners with Amica. No auto claims, but had a homeowners claim and Amica paid in full and made it very easy.

Oh and dont forget about the dividend which is usually about $200 back each year. Not sure if that is on the auto or home or both. Either way its nice to get a check from your insurance company when there isn't an accident or other mishap involved.

I thought my insurance was good, but after reading this, I think I'll give these Amica folks a call and see what they can do for me.

Also try USAA. Save a ton with them. It looks like I'm less expensive with them than anything else on this thread.

USAA is a good one to go with, if you can. I pay 2100 a year for three vehicles: Vette, Mustang & F-150. Being on a border town doesn't help though.

Same here. With Allstate since 16. Thats 41 years ago. Was paying 1950.00 for a 02Z and a 09Z me and wife. Went with Amica and it went down to 1106.00! Recently added a 09 H3 Hummer and its still only 1600.00 for all three cars both drivers. 500k liability, 1000 ded on comp and coll. If they ever start writing homeowners in Florida I will switch to them as well.
