The best Insurance Companies
I've been reading your responses and have a question. We're starting our third year and its time for renewal. We've had Canal, never had the chance to put them to the test (Thankful). But they are about $1,000 more then the quotes for Great West and Northland. All seem to offer about the same coverages. I've asked questions and compared policies side be side... and now its crunch time and I'm afraid of making a bad decision. Its between Greast West and Northland both include Gen Liab, Pip all the things I consider important and affordable. Great West agent is local, Northland not. Any suggestions from the experienced ones?
Thanks

Great West.
The only time I needed to use them was when a Roehl driver hooked my truck pulling out of his parking spot. Great West went to bat for me and got them (Roehl) moving much faster than they wanted to process our claim for their damage.

I was leaning towards them but Northland finances their own and Great West has to be financed. Its about $240 dif per year. Sometimes though you get exactly what you pay for, and the Great west agent seems more experienced. Thanks for your input.

$1,000,000. Liability should run you around $500.00 per month
Comprehensive is usually $4.00 to $5.00 + per thousand dollars insured
So if you insure for 60,000, Comprehensive will be around $300 bucks per month..
hope this helps
