I think they are all as bad as the other. My parents had nationwide for
years. My truck was stolen and I lived away in school. Talking to the
adjuster they tried to talk the prices down on everything, then asked where
I went to school and when I answered him he said he heard there was a lot
of drug activity there (which my school was more nerdy than most and while
it had its share of beer, drugs were rare). I felt like I was on trial. I
was on my parents policy and got all sorts of discounts combined with them.
I left nationwide and went to Allstate and the price was instantly half.
But My truck was broken into in my driveway and some of my tools were
stolen including an oscilloscope that I was experimenting with on the ALDL
connector. The Oscope was old, from 1979 and it was given to me so all I
has was a catalog page from 1979 listing the price as $2000. Allstate
asked me what would be the cost to replace one today so I went to ebay and
found a couple on finished auctions for $200 and told them that. They then
took $200 at 1979 and prorated it to 1996 and made it worth about $2. Then
they prorated all my craftsman tools and this was on homeowners and I had
paid for a replacement policy rider on the policy. I asked why they would
prorate and they said tools wear and get dull, I then said they were
craftsman, if they wear or get dull I take them back to sears and get a
brand new one. So then they told me since I had left them in my truck on a
Sunday night that I must have been using them at my job and they don't
cover mechanics tools. I told them I wasn't a mechanic, I work on
computers, they still quoted their policy that if I used them at my job
they don't cover that. I ended up getting about $100 for $3000 in tools
and switched insurance companies soon after that.
