As I stated the other day I have been checking out auto insurance via the Internet. It is the first time I’ve dealt with shopping around for quotes and coverages for car insurance. I’ve had my insurance with the same agent for a very long time and have never had to deal with looking around for cheap full coverage insurance by going online. When I found my agent we were all still using our local paper version of the Yellow Pages, was letting my fingers doing the walking. Remember that old line? I haven’t heard that expression for some time. I think they even had a song out back in the 70′s about the telephone man and letting your fingers do the walking. Might have to look that up on YouTube.com some time, it would be cool to hear that song after all these years.
Anyway I found another good site at cheap-autoinsurance.com. All I had to do was type in my zip code and 6 different insurance companies came up for me to check out. Nationwide being one of them (they are my current insurance company so of course I didn’t give them any information. Elephant Insurance was one of the choices. I have never heard of that company but decided to give them a shot, but wasn’t happy with the quote that they gave me.
Over the weekend I’ll try out some of the other ones that they have listed for me. Progressive is one of them as well as Geico, both being well established and well known insurance providers that might be able to beat Nationwide’s rates. I still hate the thought of leaving my current insurance agent. He has been wonderful to work with all these years and has helped me out of a few jams, which I thank him kindly for doing. But it’s all about the money at this point right? Guess we will see after I do a bit more research done, there is no hurry and no pressure. I like it like that.
Knowledge is power and the Internet is a powerful tool for today’s consumers that is being taken more seriously these days. When I moved here my car insurance premiums went up and I remember complaining to my insurance agent about the rate increase. He informed me that I had moved into a different “territory” which they believe deserve charging a larger premium for. Now how crazy is that?
There has been a ton of commercials pushing insurance these past couple of years. The Internet allows you to research low cost car insurance without all the phone calls involved like back in the last century. (I’ve always wanted to say that) By going online you can find money saving auto ins tips with sites that help you compare coverages and rates. It’s certainly the most practical way of shopping for your insurance needs.
I understand California has a lot of ways to help people that can’t afford auto insurance. I think that is pretty awesome. I wish more states would follow that trend. With all of the traffic issues that California has to deal with and their major budget problems I’m really surprised that they have programs as they do to help people.
I found an interesting website that deals with low cost insurance issues at onlineautoinsurance.com. There is a lot of good information to read, links to all kinds of information related to insurance needs and concerns. I even watched one of their low income ins video online promotions that was worth watching, that is on YouTube.com.
I’ve decided that I’m going to start shopping around for a better deal on my car insurance. I hate to leave my current agent though. I used to work for him years ago and he always takes such good care of me, but if he can’t get my rates down I’ve gotta find some one else to do the job for me and there is plenty to choose from out there these days folks!
I’m so grateful for Hamburger Helper. They have really come out with a great variety of flavors to pick from. They even have Tuna Helper and Chicken Helper these days. Making dinner can’t get much easier than using one of their products. The fact that they are inexpensive is a major plus. I find them on sale for $1 a box and stock up and I’m good to go!
My goodness has Myrtle Beach grown since I was a kid and went there on summer vacations. I was spending some time on the computer today on my break and was looking at the golf package Myrtle Beach resorts are offering and I was blown away at the many hotels and resorts that are now there. I found http://www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com/ and was drooling at their variety of accommodations that they have to offer all over the Myrtle Beach area. I always enjoyed the North Myrtle Beach area as a kid, my parents always made it a point to stay on the north side. We are creatures of habit.
If you want to get an eyeful of what is going on in Myrtle Beach you can go to www.myrtlebeachseasideresorts.com and check out all that they have listed there. Some major changes have been going on there. Maybe next year, if my tax refund check is half way decent I can take a long week end and go there once again. I love playing golf and they have some wonderful courses to offer in that area. Something to check into in the near future, to be sure.
Watching the Redskins get their butts whooped the other night was a disappointment. I’ve always rooted for the Washington Redskins and try and follow their games when I can. Saturday’s game was just a pre season game but it still sucks to see them lose and so badly at that! I’m glad that I subscribe to Direct TV. I have the NFL Sunday Ticket package and am looking forward to an awesome football season that is getting geared up to start here real soon.
When I moved in here I went online and researched the local tv satellite options and and glad that I went with Direct TV. I found the information out at www.localtv-satellite.com. So far they have provided me with good deals and the reception has been very good since day one. Not at all like the cable that was used to for all those years before I landed here. Going to localtv-satellite.com was a smart move on my part. The Internet has been a valuable tool for me since moving here. I lost connection for about 4 hours earlier today and was starting to get worried not knowing when it would come back on again.
Life tends to come to a screeching halt when something goes wrong with the Internet.
