 Allison Insurance Group is a independent insurance agent and that can mean big savings for you!
Why does it mean that? As an independent agent we can contact many different insurance companies to find the company with the best product and the best price for you. Unlike agents who represent a single company, we can ask several companies to compete for your business. Receiving quotes from many companies can lead to big savings for you! We can do this for any type of insurance you might be needing whether it is for your home, auto, or business. It never hurts to ask for a quote. It is especially important to ask for a quote if you have been with the same insurance provider for a while! Things change in our lives and sometimes we forget to tell everyone, especially our insurance agents. In fact 44% of people have not had contact with their insurance agents in the last 18 months according to report from Earnest and Young. The old policy you might have had for years might not be up to date and covering all your needs. Give us a call today to receive quotes on your insurance policies!
