A potential
client with several auto insurance claims before signing the application says:
Geico's rate was lower, and they promised it would go way down after six
months.
Me: They probably have not considered your claims history; you should call them, it's always good to know.
So she calls. After going through all the claims, Geico
ended up not being able to provide coverage due to frequency of claims and second part of their conversation (almost word for word) went something like
this:
Geico representative: Let me place you on a brief hold.
Potential client: OK.
(after a brief hold)
Geico
representative: Yes, ma'am, sorry about that. Yes, I am
sorry, but at this time we are unable to provide you with a quote.
Potential
client: But I have
an MBA, great credit, almost none of the claims are my fault. I can increase my deductibles; I didn't know
that frequent small not-at-fault claims would create such a problem, if I knew
I would of paid this out of my pocket. I
have never missed a payment, and I am def. done with claims. I haven't had a claim in the past 16 months.
Geico
representative: Yes I understand. Unfortunately
there is nothing I can do. I would
suggest you call a local insurance agent.
They work with many different insurance companies, I only work for
Geico. Local agent has access to many
different options and they will be able to shop for the best possible rate and
will be able to find a company that can insure you. Again, sorry we can't help you.
My client: OK, thank you.
