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.

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. I'll be returning to Cost-U-Less on Claremont ave whenever I have insurance needs! I recommend this place highly!
