AUTO INSURANCE DURHAM FAQ
1. Why did my auto insurance rates go up when my driving record is perfectly clean?
We hear this constantly! Sometimes, big national companies raise rates on everyone just because the cost of car repairs in the Triangle has gone up. We don’t think you should pay for other people’s bad driving. As an independent agency right here on Avondale Drive, we can shop your policy through multiple carriers to find a rate that actually rewards your good driving. Shout out today and let’s see how much we can lower that renewal bill. Cal us now at (919) 688-8289.
2. If I have a question or a claim, will I be talking to a local person or a call center?
There is nothing worse than an endless phone menu when you’re stressed out. When you call our office, you talk to actual people who live and work right here in Durham. We know the local roads, the local repair shops, and we handle the headaches for you. Call our local number right now to see how fast a real person picks up! (919) 688-8289
3. Traffic on I-85 and the Durham Freeway is crazy. Am I covered if an uninsured driver hits me?
This is a huge concern for local commuters. We make sure every policy we write has solid Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage, so if an uninsured driver hits you and runs, you aren’t left paying the bill. Sadly, a lot of drivers on the road don’t have enough insurance—or any at all. Let’s do a quick 5-minute review of your current policy—drop by our Avondale Drive office 1414 Avondale Dr #11 Durham NC 2770 or give us a call at (919) 688-8289.
4. Is it a huge hassle to switch my car insurance from my current company to you?
Not at all. We do all the heavy lifting for you—we get your new policy started and even help you cancel the old one so you don’t have to deal with the awkward phone call. Don’t let the dread of paperwork keep you at an overpriced company. Snap a picture of your current declarations page, email it to us Tabitha.brayboy@protectiveagency.com , and we’ll take it from there.
5. Why shouldn’t I just buy the cheapest auto insurance I can find online?
When you buy the absolute cheapest policy online, you’re usually getting state-minimum coverage. If you get into a real wreck, that minimum won’t cover the full cost of replacing a car today, meaning the rest comes out of your own pocket. We explain your coverage in plain English so you know exactly what you’re paying for—no hidden gaps, no bad surprises.
