I tried researching online on my own, but every company's site required me to answer *many* questions before it would give a quote, and I didn't know if I was checking with *all* available insurance providers. (Turns out I wasn't.) As it happened, I came across an article about finding insurance, and it recommended contacting an *independent* insurance broker, and that led me to finding Avail Insurance Solutions. Avail wound up finding a renter's insurance provider and one for earthquake coverage; the combined premiums totaled about the same as what my new, higher rate would have been for renters coverage only. So, I'm very happy with Avail's service.

Once again I have had a stellar experience at this AAA location. Our Mazda had a recall earlier…read morethis year for a fuel pump defect and I had the work done. When it came time to renew the license I copied the receipt from Marin Mazda, which detailed the work that had been done and sent it, along w/ a check, a few weeks ago. Yesterday I received a notice from DMV that I needed to provide proof that the recall work had been done. Puzzled, since I couldn't imagine what further proof they would need, I went to AAA, where a very nice man at the door looked through my paperwork and said I needed a certificate from the dealer. I went home and called Marin Mazda, where I spoke w/ Mike, who said I should have been given a certificate, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't. I wondered whether it would be sufficient for them to email me the certificate so I called AAA, where I spoke w/ (I think) the same helpful man, who told me DMV wouldn't accept that, so I drove over to Marin and got a certificate. Not a state issued one, but a slip of paper they filled out w/ the car's VIN, etc. I went back to AAA from Marin and was greeted again by the same nice man. He logged me in and invited me to sit in their waiting area until I was called to the window by Ginger, who was careful, thorough and wonderful. She processed the transaction, cautioned me to save the certificate in case there's a problem and gave me the new registration and tag. It was, again, an excellent experience. I'm so glad to have AAA as an alternative to spending time at the DMV.

I was amazed and very impressed at the wide range and extent of insurer resources she had at her disposal to work with on my behalf. She appears to have developed close working relationships with many different insurance companies to broker with on behalf of her clients to find you just the right policy at the right price! I walked into the office rather pessimistic about getting good insurance, but Eliana turned my pessimism into a dream come true. Eliana is very kind, polite, and a good listener. But also very precise and well-spoken. She was super patient and thorough with answering all of my questions, which I really appreciated. She really knows her field and obviously loves to help people. She seems to truly enjoy her work and is a great pleasure to work with.
