Does not offer state minimum coverage. Requires you to purchase uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage.

I had a good experience here. Staff seem to know what they were talking about and took the time to explain what I was buying. Had different options and gave me some good info. For the past 20 years+ I have just renewed my policies without ever really knowing what I was buying and it turns out I was paying a lot for coverage that was not really good enough. Saved money and got better coverage and that makes me fell like I know what I am buying for the first time in a long time, maybe ever.

Moving here from California I was surprised at how much car insurance costs in Montana. Allstate wanted and arm and a leg for my car and State Farm was not much better. I got a hold of these guys and they found a much more reasonable rate, still a bit higher but as low as I could find around here. They asked questions and offered advice that I did not get elsewhere and I feel like I made a good decision.
