Been there trying to get my old lady car fix with those insurance companies. Low premium, high deductible = company doesn't have the money to pay a claim on time. Have to go thru hell and high water!
That may be true, but that's a different discussion. The OP said he was saving 1k a year by going to a 2k deductible with the same company not by switching to a different company and in any case Met Life is a more or less respectable insurance provider I'm guessing.

Obviously, if one says they are saving 1k by going to a 2k deductible with company A over a $500 deductible with company B, that doesn't give us enough information to know if it is a good bet -- the two companies may be very different with respect customer service, timeliness of claims, etc.

So the question is -- given you are comfortable with the service provided by your insurance company -- how much would you need to save in premiums a year to move to a higher deductible.
