Best Auto Insurance Geico

I had many auto insurances before like AAA Insurance, Farmers Insurance etc; AAA had best customer support but the insurance rates were somewhat higher, Farmers Insurance was very expensive and not very friendly. Farmers Insurance also send too may mails annoying you with unnecessary information. So I started shopping around for new car insurance and found Geico. For Geico you pretty much do everything online. They only send emails (unless you ask for print), and have all your insurance information readily available on the Internet. You can renew your policy, add/change your car, add/change driver, print proof of insurance, just everything online.

The best thing is if you are involved in an accident they ask you to go to one of their preferred shop (but you can ignore that and make your own choice), and their contact person in that shop takes care of everything. Within 10-15 minutes you can walk out of the shop.

When I called the Geico insurance to report a minor accident they told me about the California auto insurance law about children car seats, and asked me to get new car seats. Farmers Insurance did not mention that when I reported an accident to them. You can read about the child car seat law in my earlier post.

Geico rates are at least $200-$300 cheaper than other insurances (at least in SF bay area). I think it is because they don't have an agent/middle man. If you are shopping for a new Auto Insurance give Geico a try, may be they will turn out to be a better for you too.

Lose 10 pounds and Keep it off

How can you lose 10 pounds (or more) doing nothing and keep it off?

It is very easy! all you need to do is just change your habits a little bit, and you can see your weight going down every month.

Here are some simple steps,
  • Sleep Well Sleep at least 7 to 8 hours every day, but don't over sleep. The lesser you sleep the more you tend to eat.
  • Drink more water Water cleans your body and eliminate all toxins and make your skin shiny and healthy. If you are drinking less water your body stores water and when you start to drink more water your body starts to eliminate excess water. Coffee, Soda, Beer and Alcohol are not water.
  • Take a break from work At work, after working for 3 to 4 hours take a break and go for a short walk for about 15 minutes.
  • Drink less Soda or Coffee Coffee and Soda has lot of caffeine that increase your heart rate and Soda is loaded with sugar (38g per can).
  • Eat before you go to party If you are going to a party and you think you might overeat, just eat before you go.
  • Avoid going to movies It saves you money and avoid eating all the junk food. You can go to a park with your kids instead.
  • Drink moderately Alcohol an beer are packed with calories and they will dehydrate your body.
  • Pack your foods for outing If you are planning an outing prepare at least one meal and pack it.
  • No late night TV Don't kill time by watching late night TV, just go to bed.
  • User your health insurance and get a full body check up at least once every year. You might find out if there is any condition in your body preventing you from losing weight.

California Auto Insurance Child Car Seat Law

According to California Auto Insurance Law if you are involved in an accident (even minor one) and if your car had a child car seat inside at the time of accident, then you can ask the insurance company to replace the car seat with a new one. After getting new car seat you need surrender the old car seat to the insurance company.

Other states also have similar law but the crash requirements change.
