165.0. "MET NH Auto" by BRAT::WELLS (Cakes useless if you can't eat it too!) Wed Apr 22 1992 19:34

    
         Just had an interesting conversation  with a Metpay rep.
    I am in the process of buying a house in NH and will be switching
    my auto policy from MAss to NH.  About 6 months ago when I started
    looking at homes I had Metpay do an estimate of my auto if I moved
    to NH and they figured it would save me about $200 on a $1000 policy.
    When I talked to them today they're estimate came out to $2100 for
    the same policy that cost me $1000 in Mass!!!  It seem Metpay now
    keeps all drivers points incurred over your LIFETIME and this adds
    significantly to your cost.  The Metpay rep then admitted that they
    were losing significant business because of this charge and other
    companies did not do it this way.(yet anyways) 
    
         So my question is is anyone else run into this situation?  For
    me MET is now no longer in the ballpark.  Does anyone have any other
    NH auto insurance companies phone #'s, especially if they have had
    good experiences with them??
    
         Any other comments/experiences welcome.
    
    Thanks
    Tim

165.1	I use Maine Mutual	STAR::PARKE	True Engineers Combat Obfuscation	`Wed Apr 22 1992 19:51`	8
	I have a combined House and Auto insurance with Maine Mutual. It's the lowest rates I could find three years ago, and has gone DOWN for me. They do not do car incurance alone, just the combined to get car. Their house insurance was the first low price I found. Their claim handling is quick (We have lost two windows in the Van). If you are moving to the Nashua/Milford area I can give you the name of an agency which carries them.
165.2	Amiga	RT95::HU		`Wed Apr 22 1992 21:19`	8
	Try Amiga, they are excellent and great. I used to deal with Merrimeck office. Also, they quoted you lowest rate and with year end profit sharing. My bill was reduced almost 30% from MA to NH. Michael..

	RE: -.1 I think you mean "Amica" and not "Amiga".
165.4	State Farm Agent	SMEGIT::LYNCH		`Thu Apr 23 1992 14:25`	3
	I have been very happy with State Farm. My agent is Denise McCarthy her office is located on Rte. 111 and the telephone # is 603-595-8400.

	Thanks. Maine Mutual, Amica, State Farm. Any others I should try?? Do most places give a discount for having both home and auto with the same company? Metpay has a 20% DEC discount. Are other companies able to beat this rate without the discount?? Tim
