Look beyond the marketing hype
Insurance companies bombard the average consumer with messages – through television, radio, news print, online blogs, magazine articles and even billboards – all of which are intended to convince you that their product, and only their product, will be the answer to your car insurance prayers. You’ve no doubt heard the slogans, “Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there,” “Nationwide is on your side,” “Have you Met Life today?” or this old favorite from Geico, “it’s so easy, even a caveman could do it.”
Just remember to look beyond the marketing hype and get the details of exactly what each company offers. It can mean a big difference in premiums and an even bigger difference should you ever need to make a claim.
Established car insurance companies
Here is a short list of some of the larger and frequently searched insurers.
How does the insurance company rate?
Don’t neglect to check out an insurer before committing to them. Even if their policy and price is good, it’s important to know that the company you choose has not only the financial capacity and resources to pay claims, but that has good customer service responsiveness, as well.
Look at one or more reputable rating services such as Standard & Poor’s, A.M. Best or Moody’s to get important financial and service information about the insurer.
