So long as claims are rare, it makes sense to put price ahead of coverage and claims experience. And while price is a very clear marker, claims experience is murky. You hear good and bad stories about the same company.
After I got insurance price quotes from Allstate that were way high, I shopped around. Geico had good rates and I didn't see much to scare me off so I went with them. That was last September. More recently I have seen Geico customers on Tesla forums complaining that (they theorize) due to huge repair bills their rates were skyrocketing. This worried me, but when my 6-month renewal recently came, my insurance cost the same. So I figure that stories are one thing, but what I'm actually paying is measurable data.
