That's the beauty of NJM Ins. Co. They don't take everyone who fills out an application, nor do they offer super outrageous savings. What they do offer is the ability to be there when you need them and not jacking your rates so you'll leave after a claim. As far as auto/home insurance goes they are the class of the field, even if the field is filled with scum bags and scam artists.

Pretty much. I mean what's the point of paying out oodles of cash for a policy only to then pay for an accident out of pocket because you are afraid of a rate hike?? Kinda defeats the purpose of insurance in all but the catastrophic situations?
