I am lucky for having USAA my whole life. Excellent service, more than competitive pricing and coverages. And they inderstand treating the customer right, ALWAYS a thank you for your service and being a USAA customer for xx many years.
I did try Villages Insurance when we purchased here a month ago. They were tough to get an answer out of. And ended up being over $500 more annually.
Tried again yesterday, stopped in their office for golf cart insurance. The receptionist was nice enough. I asked her a simple question if she knew the ballpark price for full coverage, she did not.
I played the waiting game to speak to an agent. 15 minutes later I was in her office. First thing she asked for was my drivers license, which I was hesitant to give just for a quote, ut reluctantly handed over. I quickly asked the same ‘ballpark’ question, before she got to far. She came back with about $200 a year! Woah woah woah. I promptly asked for my license back, no need to go any further. She was actually reluctant to give my license back yet. Don’t you want me to check? Actually, no I don’t want you to check. You must insure a lot of golf carts. I have another quote from another company. And it’s a lot less than $200 a year. I don’t want to waste your time or mine. She still tried to talk me into getting a quote. No thanks, again, don’t want to waste anyone’s time. She kept pressing me. I had to get up and put my hand out, license please.
Never again…
My USAA quote BTW was $90 a year with excellent coverage. I asked about towing coverage, I don’t need it for the first year as that was included with my purchase. But at $10 a year, sure as hell beats the local Bronze package at $60 a year, for the same towing coverage.
It pays to check around.
