Apparently you also save if you switch to Elephant. So you save no matter who you switch to? Maybe I should keep switching again and again. If I switch from Amica to Geico to Elephant to Esurance and then back to Geico, I'll save like what, 55%?
I'm going to give you a pie. Please cut the pie in exactly half and throw out half of it, continue doing until there is no pie left.

It's incredible how monotonous his voice is but he keeps me interested, despite what the video suggests. If I had a teacher like that I would fall asleep for sure. Anywho sorry for wandering off topic =D
Wrong, when you have $100 left, switch to amica because you can save hundreds. That way switching to amica will actually have them paying you to use their car insurance

there'll be so little pie that it rounds down! mathematicians don't do well in real life.
It doesn't round down, it converges. The equation that matches this particular series is 1/(2^n). If we take the limit, it becomes 1/(an infinitely large number) which is zero.
Of course, it doesn't work in real life because there's no way to measure infinite divisions in reality. Infinity does not exist in reality. So you could not cut the pie enough. But if you could, the math would match reality.
The Amica commercial says "you COULD save hundreds". It doesnt say you will. The Geico commercial says absolutely nothing about saving money. I didnt bother watching the rest.

The Geico slogan though is "A 15 minute call could save you 15% or more on your auto insurance"
Allstate is the most expensive, and on the east coast the most sued (according to my dad who is a lawyer who works in suing these companies) the least sued company is State Farm which ironically is around the same price as Geico making it one of the cheaper ones, progressive is lying through their teeth because the only way to save money is to cut critical parts out of your plan. Amica ive never heard of, possibly not in this area. and esurance is ok but Geico and State Farm are better
Anything that you see on TV is going to be a garbage insurance company, because you know they spend huge amounts of money on advertising, instead of actually, you know, stuff like accident claims .
People who save money switching tend to be the people who will switch. Therefore, all of them can say that on average people who switch save money, because anyone who doesn't save money won't switch (on average).
You know none of those are lying right? They either say could save or it's implied that anyone who switches will save money.
Think about it this way, if you saw that switching companies didn't save you money, would you switch? No. So you don't become that part of the statistic of "anyone who switches saves money."
But if it did save you money, you WOULD switch and it would be true, you would save money. It's all part of subtle usage of words/statistics.
As a new driver with zero credit history, insurance is a bitch. I got 2-3 quotes from all the different insurance companies. There were cases when one was cheaper than the other for one quote and more expensive for the other. I ended up going with Geico, as they were the cheapest to meet my needs. At a different level of coverage, Allstate was the cheapest, as was Progressive. I'm just one person, and I managed to get three different insurances companies to give me a quote that was a good percentage cheaper than a comparable level of coverage with another provider. So while you may not save money with one particular company that runs the ads claiming you will, I can definitely see how they can claim it. Screw American Family and Liberty Mutual that quoted me over $5000 for six months of low end full coverage.
