We've been with the same group for 40-something years, and they shop for the best rates for our homeowners' and vehicle coverage on a regular basis. If one insuror gets outrageous on their price or fails to honor a claim properly, we "vote with our feet" (and our dollars) with the assistance of our local agent to find a better deal. I've been known to donate a big pan of home-smoked pulled pork BBQ to the place on occasion! Jerry
