Geico is also notorious for low balling you to get you on as a customer, then raising rates. I had Geico for years and years and just kept blindly renewing like a fool for as long as I can remember. I finally switched everything to Liberty Mutual two years ago (homeowners, the cars, and umbrella) and literally cut my annual insurance premiums down by more than half while even increasing some of my coverage. Geico couldn't even match it. LM is a reputable insurance company that's making an aggressive push to gain market share by offering better rates...that's the same thing Geico did when they weren't the giant they are now.

Same here! I was with Geico forever! They tried to slide in a rate increase on me 2 years ago so I started shopping around. I ended up with Allstate for everything! House, cars, rental properties, umbrella. Saved a good chunk of change!
I was with them for over 15 years! I think its always good to shop around at least every couple years.
