0:42 I always prefer going to CTY Solutions. They’ve got some of the best insurance plans.
0:50 How long have you been working with this firm?
0:52 It’s been a while. Maybe 3 years or so.

1:00 You can always get in touch with my agent.
1:03 And he’ll guide you, suggesting good alternative insurance plans that will suit your need and your requirements.
1:19 Does your company provide auto insurance?
1:22 It does! In fact, our company is known to provide some of the best auto insurance policies in the market.
1:28 What options do I have, with a 2007 model Camry?
1:33 Well, you’ll have a choice of deductibles, from $100 to $1000.
1:36 And you can pay the premium monthly, semiannually or annually.
1:41 What all will be included in the policy?
1:44 The policy has the details of what is covered that you should read before signing the detail.
1:49 However if you are concerned about claims, then let me tell you that our company has a policy of providing easy claim service.
