I am pleased to take this opportunity to relate my experience with World Insurance Associates. After being referred to the company by a trusted friend; I had the pleasure of working with a very positive and responsive staff. My agent, Nilda Rodriguez, was especially helpful in getting me the best deal. As a result, I am more than satisfied with the insurance package I received. I highly recommend doing business with World Insurance.
I was very satisfied with the help I received from Walt Paytner, My insurance premiums kept climbing and I needed to search a better option since it was truly too high in my budgeting. I have a great record for driving and yet it was being penalized by Liberty Mutual. I was very satisfied with Travelers and getting the same coverage and even added road side assistance. It was a big difference in my auto and a reduction in my homeowners. P.S Walt was very helpful.
Excellent service and always helpful! I have used and continue to use World Insurance for all my insurance needs. They are customer oriented and always there to service you whenever you have a question or just need direction. Pricing is very competitive. Highly recommended!
Our experience was great. Your company was quick with a quote, and very accommodating, and priced
