Who's your favorite personal lines carrier?
Posted: Wed Sep 17, 2014 4:13 pm
I'm looking for a new personal lines insurance carrier that may or may not also offer a commercial contract.
I have four really good preferred carriers, but it seems that they are all very similarly priced on most of my new business quotes. I need someone that wins on price more often. We can sell on coverage and service most of the time, but sometimes you just need a great price.
Also, what else besides price do you like about your favorite carrier? Ease of doing business? Less hassle when issues arise? Great underwriters?
I'm in Arizona and I know carriers have a completely different presence in different parts of the country. In Arizona, I know that Safeco and Pekin Insurance are kind of hot right now. My concern with Safeco is that Liberty Mutual will re-brand them to fit more inline with their direct marketing outlet. I know that Nationwide has just done away with the Allied Insurance name and I don't want just another generic company.
Your thoughts and opinions are appreciated!!
