I can second the recommendation for Bellon across from Super Lake. They are very responsive. Their service is always prompt.
Give them a chance on your US plated or Mx placed car.

Parker gave me one option and that was $1,000 pesos more than what I'm paying now w/a different company.

Brokers may also be inclined to promote which company gives them the best deal for them.

I talked to the man and sent him the information; he said he will get back to me. Now let's see if he does.

"Ignorant" is the proper term and I am ignorant in that field Professor Erwin. I really got what I wanted; suggestions and experiences from the horses mouth (so to speak).

Glad to have met you at that party decades ago at Lou and Paula's.

Talosian:

Through the years, I have been amazed by many of your posts on various forums. The overriding tone or implication that someone is out to: "screw you" has been a point of confusion to me. I happened to be describing your posts and implications to "my better and often smarter half today" when she came up with what appears to be the obvious answer. People who have spent their working lives screwing others will often expound on others screwing them!

As per the rules of this board, I have left you a message in the Octagon but will not bother responding to anything you say in reply.

And if we don't have the expertise to choose an insurance company, what the heck are we doing going to an "AGENT" of one company to find out what's best? All he can tell you is which policy of his company is best.

Each year I am shown options and upon occasion I change insurance companies. But what I don't do is change my insurance broker, because I trust my brokerage company.

Sadly because now that I have my Permanente "Green Card" I have to purchase a Mexican plated car (Or nationalize mine). Once I have done so, my insurance will be much higher. (Insuring a MX plated car costs more than insuring the same model with foreign plates).

So folks, unless you are experts about which company is best, please choose a broker you trust, who can show you what is offered by the various insurance company (Remember, an agent works for one company and can only show you products from his Insurance company)
