Is the car insurance you can get through the AARP any good? Is it cheaper than State Farm? Is it hassle-free? Can you get condo insurance through the AARP? Can you get condo insurance through the company they farm it out to? Are there insurance bundling discounts for car & condo combined? ---

I believe AARP goes thru The Hartford for insurance. I got an on-line quote for my auto insurance and it was comparable to what I pay at GEICO, which is lower than I got from State Farm and AllState. I didn’t bother to check the home/auto bundle, so I can’t speak to that - sorry. ---

I’ve never found AARP insurance to be the best deal out their. They’ve never been able to beat my Geico car insurance or my Farmer’s condo insurance. J. ---

> [@Bosda\_Di\_Chi\_of\_Tricor](#): > > I’ve heard complaints about the service from those outfits. I’ve actually had excellent service from GEICO on several claims that I had. I had several not-at-fault accidents. I took it to the GEICO affiliated body shop. They had a rental car waiting for me, the work was done very well and in a timely manner. I’ve never had a claim with Farmer’s, so I can’t rate their service. Although they’ve done an excellent job of collecting my payments. 😃 J.
