Have You Considered Switching Car Inusrance Yet?

By Susan Tanner

Recently I had watched a one hour segment on television and was shocked to notice how many insurance commercials appeared in that short amount of time. I have to admit that it was quite annoying. With so many choices, I also worried the process might be difficult or confusing.

While hearing ads for various companies, I wondered to myself if lower premiums meant less coverage. Surely it did. How could someone save money and not give up anything in return? I was skeptical about the claims to save money so I investigated it myself.

Let me say first of all that I live in a very small community. Our city has a population of approx 2,500. Car insurance options here are a little limited. To be honest, my wife and I had our vehicles insured by the same man that our parents and grandparents did. After watching the advertisements I decided to take the plunge!

I took down the contact information for these establishments and was also pleasantly surprised to find that quotes were available online. I was also glad to see how quick and simple the process actually was. It took less 15 minutes to complete the whole application. Even better was that I discovered I would actually be able to save some dough!

Specifically I would be eligible to save $350 annually. That averages out to almost $30.00 per month! Although some may thing this is not very much, I felt it was great. That is the equivalent to a dinner out for my family.

After searching a little more, I found I would not have to give up any of my coverages a" they would be the exact same. So I realized that cheaper insurance did not mean less insurance. Needless to say, I was thrilled for a chance to save money.

My wife and I decided to give it a try! We selected a company we were comfortable with and signed up. The savings were real and the company has wonderful customer service! The customer service is top-notch, just like the local companies. I do not see a downside to this decision.

I am now happy that I saw the tv program that night with all the insurance advertisements. I am also glad I took it one step further and went online to research it. Most of all I am glad we are able save $350 a year! This allowed us to save more as well as enjoy a dinner or two out. It has been nothing but a positive experience in my situation! - 16955
