This was great because I recently moved to Chicago and needed to change my insurance policies. I was able to take care of everything right from my desk. I love it.

She took the time.

Much like Marvell Tower, Talro is another low-cost insurer in Chicago. They have much cheaper rates than the national insurance companies, but this is largely because the insurers they represent are somewhat unreliable and cannot be really trusted in case you have a serious accident.
Case in point: I had to make a claim. After making the initial report, I could never ever talk to the claims adjuster ever again. Every single time I called, I got put on indefinite hold. They eventually did pay off the claim, but they dropped my policy immediately afterwards. Basically, you get what you pay for.

Let's get this straight, first off. There are two types of auto insurance: 'real' insurance and 'street-legal' insurance. By this, I mean that real insurance is the stuff you buy when, if you have an accident, you actually would everything taken care of for you, no questions asked, no hassle, etc. However, some people cannot afford or cannot qualify for good auto insurance and so must buy 'street-legal' insurance. In this case, you're just buying insurance to obey the law, but realistically, you'll have a hard time claiming anything if you have an accident.
Marvell Tower specializes in the latter type of insurance. IF you have a bad driving record, are underage, or just broke, buy insurance from them. It's cheap and it meets legal requirements. However, try not to have an accident - more likely than not, you will have an extraordinarily hard time claiming anything.
Disclaimer: they don't write insurance themselves, they just broker insurance for a variety of low-cost insurers.

A few articles ago I explained the distinction between 'real' and 'street-legal' insurance. Basically, one type, you buy, because you really want the financial protection; the other type, you buy just so that you won't get a ticket if the cops stop you.
I think Magnum Insurance sort of falls more in the middle. They don't seem as dodgy and unreliable as the other low cost insurers, but they're pretty cheap nonetheless. They have a large Hispanic clientele, so if you prefer to speak Spanish you'll be able to do business in Espanol with them.
A friend was insured by them for 2 years. Now, she never had a claim, so we never got to see how their customer service was like, but she has pretty low tolerance for dodginess, so the fact that she remained with them is a good thing, I suppose.
I would recommend Magnum if you are looking to get insurance that may be more reliable but still won't cost you more than your car's worth. (note: you should only be the market for cheap insurance if, in fact, 'regular' insurance premiums would cost more than your car is worth)

IF MEMORY SERVES ME CORRECT,I THINK I GOT THE BROCHURE FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER MY SON WAS BORN. I BOUGHT THERE SERVICE RIGHT AWAY WHEN MY CHILD WAS A NEWBORN,I STARTED A EASY START LIFE INSURANCE POLICY FOR MY SON.AND I'VE BEEN A CUSTOMER OF THERES FOR ALMOST 18 YEARS NOW. I FEEL THERE PREMIUMS ARE VERY FAIR AND LOW IN PRICE AND THE SECURITY AND PEACE OF MIND IS WELL WORTH IT. THEY OFFER DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIFE INSURANCE POLICYS,SO YOU CAN PICK ONE THAT IS BEST FOR YOU. THE POLICY I HAVE IS WHOLE LIFE INSURANCE AND I CAN TAKE THE MONEY OUT IF I LIKE OR I CAN BORROW FROM THE POLICY MONEY IF I NEED TO.
