car insurance

Is there a car insurance person you adore in the area? I've gotten recs for the other side of the river but would love to find someone up here.

Thanks!

Isn't it cheaper to go directly to an insurance agency for a quote? (though yes, this does mean calling half a dozen places to see what they say). I ended up switching my car insurance when I got a home insurance quote, 1. because of the bulk discount, and 2. it was so much less than what my agent (not Garrett) was charging. I haven't been any worse for wear by not having a brick & mortar agent to talk to when there have been insurance needs.h

I've actually never bought a car, so the protocol is new to me. My understanding is that car insurance at least is standardized in MA, so it's more a question of what kinds I want and whether someone's going to try and load me up with stuff I don't need (and might not be informed enough to deny). Hence wanting someone decent others have dealt with.

Well the rates are set by the state but even then they can be different.

If you're a step 9 or 10 driver, some companies will give you a discount.

And some insurers have group discounts because of your employer or if you're a member of certain organizations.
