I thought it was interesting that they gave me a bike quote (two bikes) that was over $1,000 more than I'm currently paying through Progressive. When the guy called I told him he was over double what I was paying and he didn't seem surprised. My membership in aarp has lapsed. So sad!

I'm retired and those clowns at AARP have been sending me literature for years...I have yet to see a single offering from them, insurance or otherwise, that I couldn't easily beat on my own...hell of a racket they've got going there...http://www.dogpile.com/clickserver/_...Url=true...and here's a link to a list of organizations supporting more gun control legislation...guess who heads the list? AARP

AARP "endorses" companies that agree to kickback to them part of what you spend. They don't call it "kickbacks", but that's what it is. It's hardly impartial or consumer-focused.

I have State Farm for Home an Auto, but when was time to cover my bike an Independant Agent placed me with Progressive cheaper than all the rest that I checked with.. JC.

We all realize that but that is not what he is asking. He is asking directly about what effect being an AARP Member has on it's insurance endorsed carriers and that is what we are telling him. The fact that everbody's rate may be different is true, but again we are talking directly about AARP and my quote that I gave him is Apples to Apples because it is me, the same circumstances comparing AARP Ins to a no AARP Ins and it shows the rate differences to the same person.
Your quote thru AARP was more than going thru the same carrier directly, while AARP was less expensive than going thru the carrier directly in Flying Horses case.
I wonder why AARP quoted you thru Geico, but quoted flying horse thru Formost? Maybe you have bad apples.
(and I hope you know I'm just having a little fun here, I have nothing against your apples).

It's mostly BS!! Don't waste your money! I joined just because of all the crap they claimed on insurance discounts. I got quotes on my Harley, cars and home and they were ALL twice to three times what I was already paying!
Example: My 2008 Harley is currently insured with Geico for $498 a year, no tickets, no wrecks, and good credit. AARP's carrier came in at $788 a year for the exact same coverage limits.

I second what he just said!!! AARP isn't anywhere near a good deal.

Don't you people remember the one bullet theory Line em up one behind the other lawyers/ doctors/ insurance salesman ! By the way I've been insured by probably all of them and the best price so far is Foremost I can remember several years back that most insurance companys didn't insure custom bikes now the greedy basterds insure them all !!!
