Insurance Agents

General Advice

August 19, 2002 from Kate Deibel (deibel@cs)

Pick an agent closest to where you first live or near the university. I had no problems changing addresses when I moved recently. The standard places like State Farm and Allstate just want your business. They can handle a short excursion in the city.

Shop around. The State Farm on the Ave wanted to charge me about $20 more a year than the one near the U Village. Each agency has different minimum coverage amounts.

State Farm

I use Cathy Budbill for insurance. She's state farm, and she's located around 130th and Aurora -- far enough north for you? =) Her number is 361-3770.

Allstate

I use Paul Vogel with Allstate; he's up at 50th and the Ave. I haven't had to file any claims so far (fortunately), but have always gotten good service. At one point he called me to let me know that I could save $100 a year by adding renter's insurance to my auto insurance.
