Subject: Re: Esurance blacklist for VW Westfalia campers!
I have State Farm, never had a problem and the claims I have made:
have been setted quickly to my satisfaction.
The times I have checked their rates against other companies, I have not found anyone with a better rate for the coverage I was looking for.
BTW - I avoid AAA insurance because long ago, even though I was a member with a clean driving record, they refused to insure my Mazda RX-7. I figured that any company who refused to insure particular cars of members did not need my business.
