I have no idea how these guys do it, but Wawanesa has the LOWEST RATES in California! Their customer service is excellent and they don't hassle you when it comes to paying for claims. And if you have a clean driving record, they will save you some serious cash on your car insurance.
Great experience!

I concur, Ive been with Wawanesa for several years and their rates are second to none.
My former insurance agent who still handles my families home owners and other misc. business admits thats one of the few companies his firm cannot compete with.

I requested a quote from them last week and I have to say I was impressed. One of the most competitive rates I have seen so far. Customer service people were very helpful and easy to deal with.
