| - This State Farm office is conveniently located just west of the Gold Coast, Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino and the Palms, in a new-ish shopping center. You'll know the strip mall area I'm talking about because it's green. You know how the prevalent theme here in Vegas is all "desert" shale and browns? The different color scheme is one of the reasons why I decided to stop by this particular location instead of the one down the street or yet another one on the corner of Decatur and Desert Inn. Green is good, green is calming...when I'm stuck at the light blasting Slayer having flashbacks of the CA101 during rush hour. Of course, "traffic" here in Vegas is a joke...but I digress.
Upon entrance I was greeted by the friendly Mr. Matt Keim himself, and I was put at ease by his sincerity and warmth. Which is a rare experience, as I've learned to be wary of insurance peddlers as a wee lad. We then went over the different options, as I had purchased a new vehicle and wasn't too happy with my old contract with AAA (the insurance only, AAA roadside has saved my backside many times).
I decided to get the bundle with renter's insurance, and the numbers were crunched. I was expecting to pay a lot more than what I was currently paying with AAA; after all the vehicle is a 2008 V6. To my surprise, it was actually $300 LESS than what I had budgeted for (I had researched Teh Gecko and Progressive as well) even with the renter's. No brainer. $1250?? Do it!
The icing on the cake was a letter I got from Allstate quoting me $2500 for 6 months. I was laughing all the way to the bank. To make a withdrawal. So I could make a deposit. At Binion's. Later that evening.
Kudos and THANK YOU to Matt and Bree for making a necessary evil a pleasant experience. You guys are so cool, even Kim-Jong Il would be smiling as he shits bunnies and rainbows.
