Get me car insurance quotes — Progressive $220 vs my $300 Mercury

A Silicon Valley corporate lawyer says the AI obtained car insurance quotes for him — GEICO $307/month, Progressive $220/month — against his current Mercury premium of $300/month, a saving of about $80/month or roughly $1,000 a year; a AAA quote attempt failed on website issues. He notes he supplied detailed personal and family information for the comparison but withheld his credit card number.

$80a month

How it works

  1. Provide the AI detailed personal, vehicle and family information (withholding his credit card number)
  2. The AI obtains a GEICO quote at $307/month
  3. The AI obtains a Progressive quote at $220/month
  4. A AAA quote attempt fails on website issues
  5. Progressive beats his $300/month Mercury premium by about $80/month

Why it’s worth knowing

Three insurers priced against his real profile in one pass — about $1,000 a year on the table.
