I appreciate Garrity's help on a complex matter, where they were able to get a home/auto rate lower than what I was even targeting! Thank you! read more

Not only is this the best insurance company I've ever dealt with, but I've had nothing but top-notch, professional service from Christine Gentes, a Personal Lines Account Manager in their Dedham office. She's thorough and detailed in all her work, always making sure she does everything she can on behalf of her customers. Can't recommend them--and her!--high enough. (They're now part of Relation Insurance Services, by the way.) read more

I had hopes I could ignore the negative reviews and focus on the positive, but wow, I just got talked to by a woman from Garrity, who spoke to me like I am stupid and like I was 100% bothering her with my request to work with them (and give them their big commission they get from the Ins. Co.'s)! So insulting and rude. Wow. STAY AWAY unless you enjoy being spoken to like that. read more

Is it possible to actually enjoy getting car insurance? Before Garrity, I'd say obviously not. Getting a new car insured & moving from out of state, there are many MA peculariaties to follow. So I did what I figured was best: shopped several big insurers like Progressive, Geico, AAA, etc. Half a day of waiting on the phone, half a dozen calls, and one half decent quote. Then went on reddit, on a whim, to see stunning reviews of this independent insurer, Garrity. Resigning myself to pay a half-decent insurance premium with AAA, but weird. Let's give it a shot. One phone call. I talked with Jamie & Kristi, who guided me through getting car insurance & were generally wonderful to talk with. And informative too! I felt like, for once, the insurance industry was actually on my side. Is there a catch? Surely the premium is going to be high. Not only did Jamie get me a plan virtually identical to the quote I had set aside, but she got it with ~10% less yearly cost! And after a day, she managed to cut it by another ~5%. All in one phone call and ~a follow-up email saying that she got a better rate. Yes please! Kristi took over with signing the paperwork (which was easy peasy) and she handed over my insurance info to the car dealer expediently. So efficient, responsive, and friendly! So let's summarize: I don't know these guys actually manage to 1) work faster; 2) get cheaper rates; and also 3) be friendlier and -- dare I say it -- more human. But what I can say is that these guys raise every bar there is, across customer service, getting the best rates, and working fast. So, is it possible to actually enjoy getting car insurance? Weirdly, yes. Now I have a bit of glee that, once my insurance renewal is up, I only have to make one phone call & know I'm going to be treated great as a customer. They have my business & also my sincerest thanks! read more

I have been with Garrity insurance for 5 years, and what kept me stick with this insurance company is a staff named Christine Gentes, I never met her but just over the phone to tell her what I want with my auto and homeowner insurance, she has all these patience to listen and follow through....... she is the biggest asset to the company and she's super efficiency too! Hopefully every company has this kind of staffs will make the world runs better! Elderly CHIANG read more

I was a long term client of Garrity Insurance, but unfortunately no longer. I had inquired about a new insurance policy with Mr. Garrity, whom had sent me an initial quote. After a couple of questions about the policy, Mr. Garrity essentially told me he need to spend time on his Master Policy holders and insinuated he couldn't be bothered with my questions. My questions were incredibly basic and had he bothered to call me, we could've answered them over the phone in less than 2 minutes. The ironic thing is I was looking to consolidate all my insurance with Garrity, but that will no longer be the case. It's unfortunate because my original interaction with Mr. Garrity was quite the opposite - he was very helpful when I had first reached out. Quite disappointing to say the least. read more

I wasn't happy with the servicing on my Home/Auto/ Umbrella policies, and decided to shop around. Good customer service is very important to me. I called Garrity Insurance because I had done business with them in the past, and was transferred to Christine Gentes, and the rest was easy. Knowledgeable, conscientious, persistent and professional. Made suggestions, compared plans, got me better rates, and made it all easy for me, which is what I was really after. Took care of the whole process, for all (3) policies, from start to finish, including setting up policy signatures online and auto pays. The best was, Christine served my (3) previous insurers cancellation notices, painless. Thank you Christine! read more

I don't get my phone calls returned. The policy they have for me hasn't been able to be closed because I can never reach them. Travelers has continued to bill me every month for the policy in a state I no longer live in with cars I no longer have. I have tried time and again to cancel this with no resolve. I wouldn't even recommend them to the crackhead on the corner. read more

I am a customer of Garrett and, bottom line, the quality of their work and customer service is just excellent. I work with Danielle there and, without fail, she always goes above and beyond in terms of answering my questions, resolving any issues and just really taking care of my account. I can't rate this company higher, and you will be very well taken care of and impressed if you give Garrity your insurance. Don't even take my word for it, just give them a call to experience their incredibly competent and friendly customer service for yourself!! read more

Garrity has been my insurance company for many years. Agent Darren Pagliuca has been on the case, finding me ways to save money on my insurance. He is patient, knowledgeable and great to deal with . read more

Darren M. Pagliuca was very informative and cordial in helping me with my car insurance needs.

As an potential client of Garrity Insurance (Cambridge location) I was met w/the worst kind of client service. Agent who kept presuming I was as educated in his field of insurance so continued to not inform me of all my options for not only Auto but Renters insurance. Which resulting in the agent felt slighted with asking go into detail about cost and coverage at which point hung up on me (so he thought) he goes on to falsely describe the call w/colleagues for about 3-5mins and then states "would receive bad review and should have handled the call much better". Then I yell into the phone "yes you should have" he hears me then hangs up line. Called back left feedback and request for callback for R. Garrity on voicemail...to be continued read more

Jamie and Christine at Garrity have been super helpful in getting setup with new coverage after moving across the country. Jamie was attentive and knowledgable spending time explaining coverages and setting up all our policies. Christine was prompt in getting the RTA and other documentation we needed to register the vehicle with the RMV. Everything went smoothly through the whole process thanks to these helpful folks. read more

Even though in the end we didn't get insurance from Garrity due to unrelated personal reasons, I really enjoyed working with Jamie on quotes. They were responsive to my (many!) questions without being pushy, and actually got me a significantly better quote than Geico. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Garrity has been my agency for homeowners and auto insurance for many years. My partner was recently shopping for insurance, so I told him to check out Garrity. Jamie helped him out and he was very pleased with the whole process as well as the rates she found for him. When I was comparing my auto policy with his, I realized I had not increased my coverage in years, and the coverage I had was wayyy under what is generally recommended (review your policies people!!!). My auto ins was up for renewal, so I gave them a call. The first quote I was given was to increase my coverage with the same insurance company I'd already had. Comparing that to my partner's policy, he was getting a lot more for what he was paying. So my agent Christine sent me over to Cindy Fay who is Garrity's remarketing specialist to see if she could find me more coverage at a better rate. And she did! And fast!! Not only that, she was patient, personable, and pleasant to work with. Very happy with my new auto coverage, and with my experience working with Cindy. And seriously, review your policies people!! read more

Just wanted to provide a quick update on this: Bob Garrity reached out me to hear more about my experience, and we had a chance to connect on the phone. He listened empathetically, accepted responsibility for where the company failed, and helped explain how / why this decision was made by their insurance partners as well as any future implications. He also detailed an alternative solution Garrity could provide for me. I'm impressed by their customer service and now better understand what aspects of my experience were out of their control. Bob mentioned a few times that if he had been aware of my challenge, he would have personally stepped in to help resolve it, so I would recommend escalating directly to him if you have any problems. After this more recent experience, I plan to work with them again in the future. read more

I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Bob Garrity. He knows which carriers are best for which situations, and he goes above and beyond to get the best coverage from the underwriting companies. Even in an area where I didn't use him he gave me great advice and guidance, and help walked me through the process. The team in the office has great communication among themselves, it was no problem talking to different people at different stages in the process. read more

Nancy and the whole office were awesome!! Knowledgeable, speedy service and so helpful!! 10/10 recommend!!

Garrity Insurance has been my long-time insurance agency! The knowledge, experience and service are impeccable. Working with Darren M. Pagliuca is always easy, quick and high quality. Highly recommend! read more

Danielle Drown and Garrity Insurance are the best. Quick response time and always great service. Patrick C. read more

Always responsive, competitive quotes. Cindy Fay is great - timely, makes an effort to evaluate when policies are up for renewal to see if there is a better policy. read more

I just moved from California to Boston and have never bought a car or insurance, ever. I called at least 5 insurance companies and agencies and when I finally had to pick one it was very easy to pick Jamie Hitt at Garrity. I actually found her on Yelp and can attest that these great reviews aren't just smoke, she's awesome. Jamie explained everything very clearly and gave me several options to choose from. I'm absolutely certain I have exactly what I need and nothing more and at a great price. It was a really easy process and I would encourage anyone to work with Jamie. Her email is jamie@garrity-insurance.com read more

Bob Garrity was recommended to me by my neighbor as someone who had the resources to be able to get coverage for a unique home sharing/Airbnb situation within our Condo Association Master Policy. This he did, when no one else could, and found coverage at a reasonable price also. His responses were quick and his advice in all insurance matters was invaluable. read more

Bet you didn't know that insurance companies could earn 5 star yelp ratings. Well, I guess you haven't met Andrea or Will at T. Edmund Garrity. I drive an older Toyota Camry, and I don't bring home much bacon. In short, no insurance company is going to make a killing off of me. Crazy 'nuff, I get the Cadillac treatment from Garrity thanks to the humble, honest, friendly, and responsive superstar, Ms. Andrea Cormier. Seriously, this woman is the most competent and humane insurance agent in Boston Metro. Plus, I have only had to go to their office once. Everything else has been efficiently handled via fax, phone, and internet - which is uber convenient. Andrea, you are the best! As long as I live in Massachusetts, you are my agent. read more

Bob Garrity and his team did a great job in helping my analyze my insurance needs. I was unhappy with my current agent and pricing, so I reached out to Bob based upon his Yelp reviews and he did not disappoint. He looked at my current condo coverage and found that my current insurance agent missed that my master policy already have my primarily covered, so I was paying way more than I needed to. In the end, he even gave up trying to get the business and told me it made most sense to stick with my current agent/policy just with some minor change.s I would definitely recommend him to anyone seeking condo or auto insurance in the Boston area. read more

My 2-unit condo association switched to using Garrity when they quoted us a great policy, explained every line and exception (as well as every rationale) for purchasing appropriate coverage, and went the extra mile for us. Bob even mailed our prior association policy company about our change and facilitated the transfer so it was entirely seamless for us. We now use Garrity for the unit as well as the master condo association coverage. My partner and I then decided to insure our car with Garrity also. And wouldn't you know it but within a month or two of switching to them, I had a fender bender! Well, once again, Bob to the rescue with timely advice, explanation of the liabilites, and an easy resolution for both us and the other driver and ins.co. We now use Garrity with confidence for any insurance needs we have. It's great to know that Bob is a seasoned expert in his field, and to rely on him for providing exceptional customer service every time. Go Garrity! read more

Usually work with Danielle Drown who is excellent. During her maternity leave we worked with Leighanna Caswell who provided the same outstanding customer service that we have become accustomed to with Danielle and Cindy before her. read more

Bob and his team are terrific. Bob went above and beyond to help me with my insurance request that was delayed due to Covid and then several other problems. He followed up with the insurer directly, kept me in the loop, and advised me along the way. I so appreciate his help. Highly recommend. read more

Bob Garrity is AMAZING! I just transferred all our personal insurance, car and home owners, to Garrity Insurance. Bob was so helpful in explaining things, saved us money, facilitated the cancellation of our old insurance, and did it all in less than a week! We were so happy with Bob that we decided to have our 2-unit condo association just switched to using Garrity Insurance as well. I can't say enough good things about Bob and Garrity Insurance! read more

I have worked with Garrity for auto and home insurance for about 8 years. I LOVE the family-owned business style service and accountability. They have always been responsive, timely, and detailed in their search for the best possible policies, working with me to get discounts that make sense for me. Cynthia Fay is terrific at what she does and I really enjoy working with her. Great service - she always go beyond the call of duty! Thanks to all at Garrity, Lois (Cambridge/Watertown/B.U.) read more

I have several policies through this agency. My experience has been positive. They actively review the options and look for the best carriers and the best price. I can definitely recommend them. read more

Found this agency using Yelp and decided to check them out. Received a prompt response from the owner who said an agent would be contacting me shortly. In no time Maureen messaged me and we were soon talking by phone. My insurance needs were unique but she quickly grasped the situation and proposed an good, affordable solution. Great customer service! read more

Bob Garrity was very clear about condo insurance and helped us realize what we needed and didn't. He was very thorough and followed up well. Clearly very knowledgable and willing to share with customers. Highly recommend Garrity insurance read more

I've been working with them for more than ten years. They have consistently helped ensure I pay the least amount for the most coverage. Always happy and ready to help, I've never had a bad experience with the people at Garrity; I'd recommend them to anyone. read more

I was not sure what to expect from an insurance co like this for home/auto coverage in terms of quality, speed and options. Josh was unbelievably easy to work with and went far beyond the scope of insurance to help me. Was beyond impressed. My package was tailored to my needs after a few conversations with zero hassle, and Josh helped me work with a dealership to make sure I wasn't overpaying for tax - beyond the call of duty! Very rarely do you see this kind of care and quality these days. Felt fortunate to find the company! read more

I reached out to Garrity Insurance based on the excellent yelp reviews, and they exceeded all of my expectations. I was looking to get insured in a relatively quick time frame, Bob was a huge help, answering all of my questions and providing great rates all very quickly. I turned to Garrity after being unsatisfied with my previous attempts to get insurance (unreturned calls, super slow process, etc.) and am so glad that I did. Now I have a great policy and an insurance company that is great to work with. Thank you! read more

My family and I have been using Garrity Insurance for over 14 years. Garrity Insurance takes care of my workers comp policies, home owners, condo policies and car policies.

Jamie Hitt from T.Edmund Garrity Insurance is amazing. After contacting several other companies in Boston area, I came across this company on Yelp. Jamie helped me signed up for a great coverage my condo. She also helped me switched to a more affordable and more coverage for my car. Jamie is very personable, friendly and informative. It also helps a lot that she's easily contacted with both phone and email since I work overnight. Would definitely contact her again if I ever get a new car or condo. read more

They are bests in town. I was in hurry to purchase the CAR and need the insurance in 24 hours.

I have also change the existing rental insurance. She was very cooperative, efficient and helpful. I don;t have to visit the office and all the things has been taken care on phone and emails. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. read more

Garrity Insurance has been handling my auto, condo and umbrella policies for several years now. When I received my policies this year, I was surprised by the amount my car insurance had gone up and started shopping around. Cindy Fay took the initiative and reached out to me. In just a few hours, she had found companies that provided the insurance I need at more than 25 percent less than I thought I would be paying and she had found discounts I'd never even heard of. Within 4 days (and that includes a weekend), she had everything set up and ready for me to sign. She also took the time to answer several insurance questions for me. Fantastic customer service, way above and beyond. Thanks! read more
