Commercial insurance for sprinter

Napechnik · Apr 27, 2015

I'm a currently with progressive, paying $7,600 annually. I think that's way too high...does anybody have a possibly cheaper insurance agency in mind? Would really appreciate any info.

Is that through CIS?

What coverage is that? 1 million auto liability? Cargo? Bobtail? Phys Dam? Combo?

Napechnik · Apr 27, 2015

I don't know if it's through CIS. 1 million liability and hundred thousand cargo. Unlimited miles.

Not that far off what a standard carrier is paying for that kind of full coverage on a unit. Cheaper is out there but most likely not the correct coverage.

When I had my van I called Progressive directly and was given a higher quote than going through CIS which uses Progressive. They have great purchasing power and can make sure that you have the right insurance.

Thanks guys...

There's CIS and there's everyone else. CIS knows more about expediting specific insurance than anyone. They are excellent to work with. Good luck.

When I signed on with Square One, they asked me to change agencies to CIS. This makes it easier for Sq1 to monitor each contractor's compliance with their insurance requirements (they're members of TEANA's VOI program). When my policy renewed in March, my premium declined 11%!

That, kids, is a win win

I'm still waiting for them to be licensed in Calif. My van life and me would be easier.

Just called CIS today. They were 2K BELOW my previous quote. Signed immediately.

Congratulations. They are the best, as in THE best. You've saved enough to splurge on a steak dinner to celebrate.

Its amazing that the one thing most EO members agree on is CIS.
And if you ever have a claim and need help you will find out how good they really are.
