Get a quote onlineI never leave reviews however after reading through the bad ones (which you usually see more of than the good ones), I decided I should go in to bat for AI. I insured my luxury vehicle with them about a year ago.. Since that time I have had one claim, and it was the most painless exercise ever. They were fantastic to deal with and have since called about 3 times to make sure I am happy with their service and asked if I have needed anything else. I have been with all the major insurance companies before and lets not be fooled. They will always try to get out of paying if they can but with AI I certainly can not complain about anything at all!! Highest recommendation possible from me!
