Shopping for insurance is probably one of my least favorite things to do involving my car. I think I would rather go to the DMV for something than go through the hassle of finding an insurance carrier, getting a quote, hearing mulitiple people all trying to get my business who are brokers just trying to get a commission and can do very little about the prices they didn't set. It's more frustrating when I have a clean record and just want liability insurance. I will often end up over paying for insurance just because that agent was the first to complete the process and email me my cards. Janesa at Pacific Preferred Insurance was awesome. She was very patient and calm and just told me what forms she still needed from me. Twice when i spoke with her it wasn't a good time and she never pushed me to handle it anyway, nor did she become a nag after the call insisting i call back. Her tone was great and she knew the answers to the questions I asked. I was referred to Pacific Preferred through mylowcostauto insurance site. I had been paying over $100 bucks a month for a car worth less than $3000.00. Since they are a broker of insurance and not the insurance provider, and I also haven't been in an accident since, I can only comment on the experience signing up and whether or not that satisfies the insurance need to be able to legally drive in California. To get insurance though, I would call them directly and not hope that a website just happens to guide me to them again. Highly reccommend.
