I bought my 2010 Rogue S 360 in March and was added onto my GF's insurance b/c we live at the same address. The agent quoted me $577 for 6 months, which is a great price for down here(Basic policy of 100/300/100 and 500 deductibles). Louisiana has the highest auto insurance rates of any state. She also got a lower rate for having multi-cars on the policy. All in all, it was a win-win. We paid half of the premium in March and just got a bill for the rest of it. Apparently the quoted premium for just my car went from $577 to $801. We called the agent and found out that this was because I wasn't switching from another insurance company.(I had been with State Farm for 18 years, but at the end of January I sold my personal car and didn't need insurance since I didn't own a car, so cancelled my State Farm policy). B/c of this, my premium has gone up over $200. If I had just switched from State Farm, this wouldn't have happened.

Anyway, I've been checking out insurance companies online and getting quotes. Allstate offers me 25/50/25 with 500 deductible for $601. This includes the Platinum Package which has multiple accident forgiveness, $100 off deductible immediately and then $100 off every year with no accident(so $400 deductible now), 5% back of premium with no accidents every year, full replacement of new car within 3 model years(so until 2013 I can get a new Rogue). The 25/50/25 is all I need since I don't own the home. The other insurance required me to carry that much b/c the GF owned her home and that is how much she carried. All in all, I think Allstate offers more value to me, especially considering I haven't had an accident in 15 years(knock on wood :).

Anyone here have Allstate and can attest to their customer service, etc? Just wondering since I'm leaning that way.
Thanks!

I've been with Allstate and nobody else for 25 years and haven't a complaint in the world with them except for the fact that I really can't stand one of the employees in my agent's office because she's a complete weasel...but she's the only person with the company I've ever had a problem with. Claims are easy and, in my case, have never required more than a single phone call.

HIGHLY satisfied with Allstate.
