Is there a difference

Dohhh

In policy price if you have no tickets vs 1 tickets at state farm? I was under the impression that clean record you get one price, 1-2 tickets it goes up and 2+ and you can even get a policy with them. Anyone know for sure?
ps my agent is useless
 
Yes, one item on your abstract does make a difference with SF. 1-2 items are treated equally. A "preferred" rate is given to those with 0 item on their driving abstract. I don't believe they insure riders with more than 2 current items on an abstract.

And that was my understanding as well. However i got insurance last year and i had 1 ticket on my record. Paid 111 per month. Renewal time came and it stayed the same but my ticket has gone off record and no change, still 111 a month. I called them and they told me that there is no change, and that they cant put me on the A plan unless i have a car with them...
seems fishy to me...

That makes sense -- to qualify for the A-Plan you probably need to have a car insured with them AND be conviction free. If you are on a stand-alone bike, then you are confined to the B-Plan.

That was not my understanding. I've been with SF for a few years now, and conversations with my agent has led me to believe I will get the preferred rate when my one ticket falls off my abstract. I think the exact conversation was "we can offer the "A" plan only to conviction free riders".

But I'm sure that when it comes time to renew next year I will be told "I misunderstood" or the policy with SF has changed, or some other nonsense. I will be confined to the "B" plan until I pay more, get less, and expect nothing in return.

EDIT : Wow, do I sound bitter!

It's quite possible that I am wrong -- I don't work for State Farm and don't fully understand their tiering system of "Plan A" and "Plan B".
 
Viffer, you are correct, that's exactly how it is.

Thanks for the confirmation Katherine. Do you know what the discount is if you can qualify for Plan A?
