This is a scam. I requested a free child safe kit and was told that someone would need to come to…read morethe house to show me how to complete it. When I was contacted by Daniel Plourde, I told him that I am not comfortable with people in my house at this time due to COVID. He said we could meet over Zoom. My husband and I accepted this meeting, which was this morning. Daniel's email signature said he was from Fisher Agencies, which is really American Income Life Insurance. I later found more information supporting the notion that this company is a pyramid scheme, including Daniel asking us right off the bat if we knew anyone looking for a job so he could contact them. He also pushed for referrals to other parents with kids whom he could contact about the free child safe kit, even after we said no. This "child safe kit" is two documents he can email you where you can fill out useful information about you and your child in case of an emergency. You can easily get documents like this online or at your local police/fire station. Daniel kept showing us "one quick video" of advertisement upon advertisement for American Income Life Insurance. He told me that my term life insurance policy with a reputable agency wouldn't really convert after ten years if I wanted to move to whole life insurance. He said we had to act now, because the company doesn't usually accept anyone out of their union. I told him we had to go because I had a meeting. He wanted to set up another meeting later in the evening. I told him we needed to look into his claims - particularly what he was saying about my current life insurance. He said we could do that after work tonight and then meet him on Zoom that evening. Even after we said we needed time, he continued to push us to set up a meeting with him that night until I just ended the Zoom call. Our experience with this company was a total waste of time, and we don't appreciate their dishonest approach.

When I spoke with them on the phone, they were always pleasant, that is, if they answered the phone. Maybe they were busy, I dont know, but I do know the website is straight out of 1999. (You know, back when more stuff was better, user experience be damned). Their actual place is tiny and is just a room on the second floor of a commercial building in Brighton Center. Despite the modest appearances, they were helpful and I think they did a fine job of finding me the best price. I got quotes over the phone from a couple other places and let me just tell you, just because you live in Back Bay doesn't mean you should go to an insurance agency downtown. They have higher rents and charge you more so they can pay the bills. The services are identical. So the Insurance I settled on was Commerce (no surprise) and I got a nice 'Safe Driver Discount' for not having any blemishes on my record. It's $139/yr discount. (Keep that in mind next time you need to get somewhere really really fast while making screeching left turns across traffic from the right lane). The insurance quote was something like $1080, then they gave 10% off for having multiple policies. (I added a renter's insurance policy for about $190/yr.) When I got my insurance information in the mail, they had checked my record, found nothing and given me the safe driver discount which brought me down to $841 This was getting better by the minute. And now, I hear Commerce gives a 5% discount for AAA members. Do you know how much AAA costs for one year? $48 in MA. $48! I havent done it yet, but if I get AAA, there's an $11 signup fee, then a $48 yearly fee. But that 5% discount I get on my Commerce insurance equals $42/yr. So the first year of AAA 'costs' me $17 and every year after I pay $6. THAT is a great deal for such a valuable service! Coming from MI, I heard the horror stories about the price of MA insurance and all that jazz. Well, I guess Michigan (no-fault) has worse insurance laws than MA because my premium was going to be $1412/yr back home and now living in Brighton, parking on a public street, I pay $841/yr for full coverage on an '03 sedan. This is an excellent price for such an important thing as auto insurance. I don't know much about how the price increases for bad drivers, but the rates presented to me were great. Platinum did a great job and offered the best price of the three places I shopped. I highly recommend them.

My name was misspelled and it took two followup emails to get it fixed, but I didn't think much of it. Recently I wanted to obtain a quote for auto insurance, and emailed my agent with all the relevant info about my driving record and the vehicle. He replied back a day later that he would send me a quote and that they had a RMV runner for obtaining the plates. A week later I emailed again trying to obtain the quote and received no further replies. No reply to an existing customer trying to add another significant policy means 1 star rating. I ended up going with a different agency (nearby in Cambridge, tons of excellent ratings) who replied right away and got everything set up via email before I went in and quickly signed all the paperwork.

Everything was taken care of right away, I even joked that I got "VIP" service because the whole process went so smoothly, including getting me into my new car, the checks put through quickly, rental coverage, etc. It's nice to have an insurance company that you can call with any questions and you actually get a person, not a computer system.
