frustrating excercise in futility.

A diminishing deductible sounds absolutely sexy, as it is meant to, but will
they put you through the wringer in trying to get a due and justifiable
settlement?

Just asking.

GEICO called, and my dad had jsut paid his state farm premium, and the
GEICO agent asked to compare coverage and rate. even the GEICO rep
admitted they were even and couldn't beat it. Dad had a great driving
record and had a claim when he slid his car on some black ice in
February and Statefarfm fixed the Lincon with no hassle. Also hist a
dear, and StateFarm covered that with no problem.

I suppose there's always different experiences though.

Taht's the way I feel about Country Companies. In my personal
experiences they were the first to charge and the last for service,
AND you have to be a Farm Bureau member to get their coverage, so
there's an extra $40.00 a year extortion fee.
