I recently experienced first hand that a traffic accident can cause more than just physical and emotional trauma, it can also bring the added worry of having to deal with my car insurance company. After my husband's traffic accident my next step was to contact Michigan Insurance to file a claim. I was nervous because I didn't know how I was supposed to handle the entire situation. They ...

When we moved into our new house, we decided to buy life insurance policies for each of us.  Our plan was to have enough insurance to pay off our mortgage in case one of us met with an untimely death.  We didn't have any problem getting insured, except the policy wouldn't cover my husband if he died while flying a helicopter.  You might say, "So what?  How many ...

My home insurance used to be with Certas Direct Insurancy Company but they were bought out last year by Desjardins General Insurance. At the time, a letter from Dejardins was sent to all Certas Direct policy holders notifying us of the change. The transition to Dejardins has been a smooth one as they did not change my coverage or fees, they just seem to resume ownership of my home insurance pol...

Erie doesn't advertise on television. That's why they're so inexpensive! They can save you the money rather than spending it on advertising. I think, first and foremost, this is an excellent display of customer service - even before you even talk to one of their representatives. When I first switched to Erie, I saved over $900 per year. When I cancelled at my old insurance company, ...

 We have been using State Farm Insurance for auto coverage for 35 years.  They insure our car and the car for our daughter.  We also have our home insured through them.Over the years we have had several minor fender benders and one major accident all caused and ticketed to the other driver.  Our claims were handled without any problems and our premiums have never increased o...

As part of a massive insurance quote process to find the best price for my new insurer, I gave Ford's insurance program a shot to see what they would give me.I was made aware of Ford's insurance program because I am a Ford owner and they had sent me literature encouraging me to join. I went through their relatively quick insurance quote process but was stunned by the price it bounced ba...

I have had my automobile policy with Nationwide Insurance for the past 15 years. My agents office is only about 20 minutes from my home which makes getting to the office very easy. Everytime that I have had to add or remove a vehicle or change coverage I have always been greeted with a warm welcome. If I have had questions regarding my policy someone has always answered them quickly and accurat...

We are quite supportive of the TD CanadaTrust group of services given that we have practically everything covered via their insurance, including Life and Accidental Death coverage - so it was a no brainer to also choose them to insure our home and contents.I really like the idea that obtaining Insurance through them is so easy.  We called a 1-866 number when we moved into our current home ...

When life hands you a lesson, learning from it is a wise investment for the future.  When we were younger we rarely considered protecting any of our loans or credit cards, lines of credit etc.,  with Life Insurance, Disability or Income Loss Insurance.  The only insurance protection we carried was for mortgage protection,  but in 93 that mindset changed when I became disable...

I used Insure My Trip last year on our trip to Disney World! It was recommeded to me from another website. I investigated several trip insurance companies, before deciding on Insure My Trip. Insure My Trip had by far the most options at the lowest prices. They by far beat the prices you could purchase trip insurance for from Disney itself. I would not have purchased the insurance if I had not b...

I have experienced nothing but exceptional customer service with this company.  Anytime I have ever needed to call them they are always very quick with responses and help.  Their prices are very competitive with other companies and I have found that the service you recieve from this company is well worth the few extra dollars you might spend.  I have also found that this company ...

When my family moved into an apartment the first thing we did was get Renters Insurance. We had heard and seen horror stories of apartment buildings burning down and the tenants not having any kind of insurance.  I went to my nearest agents office and spoke with a representative. The lady was really nice and answered all the questions that I had, and I had many. We went over what type of p...

When I bought my house I knew one of the first things I needed to get was insurance. I hate insurance, I hate dealing with it and paying for it, but I also know that it is one of those unfortunate necessities we must have in life. So off I went searching the internet and getting quotes. I had just about settled on one (can't remember which one) when a friend told me to call Lighthouse Insur...

When my husband and I got married I had State Farm Auto insurance and he had Farmers. We decided to combine the two cars on one policy to save money and make things less complicated. We got quotes from both agencies along with several others For the coverage we wanted, Farmers gave us the best deal. We have full coverage on our 2 cars and had liability on our 3rd car until we sold it. We receiv...

My home in Cahaba Heights (Birmingham, AL) was destroyed by Fire in 2005. I was away, caring for my Mom in FL, who was terminally ill, and my young girls. On Feb 24th, 2005 I got a phone call....There had been a fire, and my husband, the girls Dad, had died. We contacted State Farm, our Insurer, and notified them of the tragedy. Instead of quickly adjusting the loss, by rebuilding our home...

I just received our yearly renewal for our homeowners insurance and was reminded of how great we feel State Farm has been to us over the years.  We have had State Farm insure our home since we purchased it 35 years ago and also use  them for all of our car insurance needs.Our total annual premium is $547.00 (which can be split up into 2 payments) Our coverage includes:Replacement...

By now, everyone who watches TV has probably seen the commercials for Geico Insurance at least once or twice. The ads are quite catchy, but does the company actually live up to their claims?I have been insuring my car with Geico since 2005, and  I can say that I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality of the company's services. Before I switched to Geico, I was with another com...

We managed to get son number two into a mobile home.  It’s not great, (if you look at it with objective eyes) but it’s better than where he was living and he can afford it.  Then we found out that hardly anyone will insure older mobile homes.Enter Foremost Insurance. We were able to get $10K coverage on the trailer, $10K on a comparatively nice garage on the property, $5K ...

Back in the 80s when I was in grad school, I was an Assistant Instructor (not the same as a teaching assistant!) and taught English as a Second Language for three years. One of the benefits was getting $100,000 in life insurance at a ridiculously low price, as well as a "pension" through CREF (college retirement equity fund, I think... it's been a while).My initial premiums were a...
