    We have none. We don't work for our customers and don't actually appreciate their business or loyalty as we obviously have no loyalty to them. Try a mutual company, they technically work for their customers who are both the shareholders and customers at the same time, rather than cattle to be milked and then slaughtered. liability is ranged approx 10 points, so that when people make an offer you can ask for 10 more percentage points. The harder you might argue and more irritating you are the more you will get, just don't get discouraged when you hear "no", just keep calling back. When you have a car accident you are entitled to money for loss of use (in this state at least) even if you don't rent a car. File small claims suit any time anybody says "comparative negligence" or low balls your rental or repairs - in my state it costs 35 bucks to file suit without an attorney and you don't have to do anything - presto, the a-holes who hit you get slapped with a summons and the insurance company has to hire an attorney for a couple thousand - hey, maybe they should have just paid you that extra $500 bucks. Some companies pay nuisance money for injuries even if it is unlikely that you would collect just to go away - we are not one of them. Switch auto insurance every 5 years but don't move your homeowners - in our state at least

    I knew not ignoring you would yield results. May I ask which state this is, for future reference should I move to the USA?

    Nice, Frags. So when the NSA insists it doesn't watch US citizens it's likely true since they have the GCHQ doing it for them.

    Good to know our decline into American level governance is ahead of schedule. First the conversion of the last credible left wing party into tory-lite, then the surging popularity of the ultra X5 right wing party, now the fear of constant surveillance is proved true. All we need now is our very own fox news and our devolution is complete. Just give us our new passports and call us the 51st state
