Hi Jack,
We have been using this carrier since way back when it was known as "Western Pioneer Insurance". Our agency has been in business since after WWII when this company was a niche market for auto insurance for Japanese and Japanese Americans in the 50's, although they would write for anyone who qualified. Commerce West purchased Western Pioneer a number of years ago and they continue to service our clients, both Japanese and non-Japanese. We have a great relationship with our underwriters and policy service. You can utilize their on-line rating program or FSC if you subscribe.
They have a tiered rating system, so some of your "non good drivers" may qualify, depending on the circumstances.
Claims service is great, too. I never have to wait more than a 1/2 day to get a call back from the adjusters.
The web site can also be accessed by your clients to pay their premiums using a credit or debit card. There is a toll free number for your clients if they need to report a claim directly or inquire about their policy and/or premium.
I think you will be pleased with their commission pay-out. Commissions have been adjusted over the years and you would have to check with them regarding profit-sharing.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Good Luck!
