I have them for my fleet as well.

They are reasonable with the premiums but I have yet to have a claim so I do not know how well they pay out.

I have good reasons to not recommend Geico, to insure anything.

I have Geico and Boat US for boats. The premiums seem fair and towing is included.

It was posted above that the the agent was awesome. I have the same situation. All my insurance, except watercraft, has been through the same agent for 30 years. He is a nice guy.

But, I think as the years go by the agents tend to increase the premiums where they can. I have not looked, but I should, to see what others offer for the same property and umbrella coverage. I also believe that when you look and get prices, you will get a low quote to earn your business but in the following years the premiums will creep up.

It is nice if the agent is a friend. but if you already have plenty of friends but not more money than you could ever spend, it might be something to look at.

AARP partners with The Hartford insurance co. and when we enrolled in AARP I checked their rates; I was happily surprised and switched our home and auto policies forthwith. No idea about their rates on boats though.
