Yes, I've heard about this weird practive. I will definitely try Avemco,
thanks for the tip. It looks like Falcon also accepts direct quote requests,
you don't have to use a broker. Know anything about them?

Thanks again.

Give AVEMCO a call and get a quote. Insurance quotes are all over the
place, pricewise. But AVEMCO sometimes provides good prices, sometimes
not. All depends on what their rates have been set lately. Only way to
find is to call. AVEMCO does not have brokers, so it doesn't matter if
you have called other agents to get quotes. They only sell direct.

The companies that use brokers put a LOCK on your quoting so you can
only get one quote at a time. I think it is wierd. You call one agent,
ask for a quote. He HAS to have your N-number. He calls the company and
that N-number is locked for some period of time. This is so we
consumers can't go around getting quotes from a bunch of agents. It
apparently is legal cause they all do it. (Not AVEMCO, they don't use
this system. Getting a quote from them won't lock you).
