Once Geico finds out I started an avalanche, they’re going to raise my rates 
again…

I’ve been on the phone with Geico Marine this morning, trying to get a straight 
answer as to why the premium for my current policy (rolled over from BoatUS) is 
nearly 50% higher than a quote I got online over the weekend with the same 
deductibles and coverage. 
 
This is on an agreed hull value of $50,000 (yes, I know that’s really high for 
my boat, but I haven’t seen any reason to change it…), with 1% deductible and 
$500,000 of liability; and covers sailing on the Great Lakes and tributaries.  
My BoatUS premium was a little under $700.00; when it moved to Geico it went up 
to $852.00.  The quote I got online was for $571.00.

 
In my initial conversation this morning, the agent on the phone said that my 
renewal coming in March was going to be less than last year; somewhere in the 
$750.00 range.  She said that I could go ahead and get insurance at the online 
quoted rate, but I would need to get a survey done before they’d cover me on a 
new policy.
 
After talking at length with an underwriter and reviewing my policy, the agent 
just called back: my renewal in March will cost $494.00.
 
I guess it pays to be the squeaky wheel sometimes…
