I have GEICO. although my wife is a teacher. they are hands down the cheapest auto/home insurance carrier we have worked with that actually keeps rates stable and not jump them after a year.

That's the problem I keep seeing these days- and no fault to you Sniper- people are going with the cheapest rates possible, not necessarily the best coverage, most reputable company or even adequate coverage. YMMV.

I don't even have to know the back story to know this is true. This is clearly a commercial policy that does not meet the underwriting standards for whatever business exposure in which this person or company is engaging. In order to even cancel a policy, the person purchasing the policy would have had to have basically lied in order to get it written in the first place. Insurance companies can't just go around canceling policies willy nilly. There are very specific circumstances in which a policy can be canceled. The one that most of you are more familiar with is non-payment.

Ronin, as an agent, you should know better.

I'm not sure why you're calling me out... what do you mean I should know better? Or are you saying I should know these circumstances better than most, to that yes, I do... and this seems like a bogus cancellation if in fact the vehicle is only used for commuting to work, and not business use or deliveries, otherwise, the insured lied and is being cancelled legitimately.

Oh wow if only they had that sign outside the school at sandy hook!

LOL... "Damn, this is a gun-free zone, looks like we can't take our guns in there." -Said no criminal, EVER.

yep, he is probably just pissed he got cancelled for screwing up or trying to screw them over. I didn't get asked a damn thing about mine and have a rider on mine for extra firearms and jewelry coverage.

Agree. No need to panic and go on a big viral internet bashing parade until you know ALL THE FACTS, background, everything WITHIN CONTEXT, actual situation, etc.

THEN, if this guy really got dicked just for commuting in said vehicle to his place of employement, that's another story. I have a strong belief this is NOT the case however. They're not gonna cancel tens of thousands of auto policies just because the customer commutes to Smith&Wesson or BassPro for work, LOL!
