That Freaking Gecko!

So my fleet of 3 Subaru Outbacks, an early Miata and the 911SC are insured with the little green dude through the local agent. Get a letter from the Gecko expressing his concern that I don't drive the 911 as many miles as "the average drivers of the State of Mississippi" and if I don't tell him how many miles I drive it annually, he's gonna up it to 15K miles. He demands my reply via mail or fax in 30 days.

Make a trip to speak to the little green dudes local Agent. Discuss this with him. He takes a look at my policy and they are covering my fleet as being driven 34k miles annually! I don't approach half of that in reality! The real shocker was, even though I am in my mid 50's the Gecko had my 911 noted on the policy as being driven 5 days a week to school!That little bastard!

So we fine tune the mileage of the fleet to reflect the actual annual mileage and get this, the 6 month premium went up by $2.80! I explained to my agent that I am spending more in insurance per year for only liability and uninsured motorist coverage than any 1 of the 4 other vehicles are worth! Policy is paid up, Agent is claiming he can get me on one of the Geckos Classic Car policies for the 911 for "about a hundred bucks a year".....yeah right, go ahead, good luck with that!

So the moral of the story, if there is one, is check in with your auto insurer to see how they are scamming you!
