---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I was interested in getting a quote from someone else for a home/car-based small business insurance. I called the first insurer I could think of, my car insurer, which is State Farm. They quoted me a price that is less than half of what Safeco is offering. It sounded good on the phone, but I will wait until I see a copy of the contract and compare the coverage they offer with Safeco before I make a firm decision. State Farm has been really good for me. They've given me-the-spot coverage and ready phone assistance when needed. And my rates didn't go up even after I filed a rather large claim (and I don't even know what they paid out to the guy I ran into........:-(). In fact, my rates have subsequently decreased. I'll keep y'all posted on any pertinent info!

This year they went down a little. Never filed a claim. The year they went way up, I shopped around a little, but couldn't find anything remotely as reasonable, or with as broad a coverage. YMMV.

Has anybody else encountered something like this? Don Bee, Sr., RPT Chicago Chapter My rates have gone up a bit, too. I find it curious, and it got me wondering: how many people have actually filed claims with Safeco? Anybody on this list? I, for one, have never filed a claim. I have it for the same reason I have medical insurance: catastrophic occurence! Of course, if I were to cancel my policy, I'd have a Fazioli action fall off of my workbench...:-) I may be mistaken, but it seems as though the rate increase is due to whatever restructuring or sale took place when the Potter, Leonard name went away. Dave Stahl Dave - I've been with Safeco for years now and have never filed a claim (knock on you-know-what). Thinking seriously about not renewing.
