Lauren and her husband called the Columbus Insurance Market when they were shopping for their
Columbus Ohio homeowners insurance and
Columbus auto insurance. We talked to Lauren and asked her a series of questions to make sure we could get the most accurate quotes and then we went in and shopped their insurance with Hartford, Travelers, Encompass, Max, and Progressive. We then went into our comparative rater and showed Lauren what each of the rates for her
home and auto insurance would cost with each of the companies we represent. Lauren was shocked that we could go in and shop for her. She was unaware that that was possible. We asked why she thought we could only quote one insurance company and she said, "she called four agents that day and they all could only provide a quote from one insurance company." We asked Lauren who she called? She told us she called State Farm, Allstate, American Family, and Nationwide. She said it took her over four hours to gather quotes from these four companies. That is why she was shocked when we gave her multiple insurance quotes in less than 10 minutes. We explained to her that the Columbus Insurance Market is an
independent insurance agency and the companies she called are
captive insurance agents. Captive meaning they can only get quotes form one insurance company.
Independent insurance agents can quote the
multiple insurance companies their agency represents. Once we explained this to her she was so pleased knowing that we would be the last
insurance agency she ever needed. Not to mention we saved her over $500 on her
Columbus Ohio home and auto insurance. Another satisfied customer of the Columbus insurance Market.
