November 6, 2007 – Venice, FL – 1st Guard Corporation, an insurance firm specializing in owner operator truck insurance, continues to be the only truck insurer to offer an instant quote on-line for truck physical damage insurance. The quote is instant and in real-time. “If you scour the Internet you will see many insurance agencies advertising instant quotes or quick quotes, but the fact of the matter is there is nothing instant about their quotes,” remarked Courtney Wilson, Director of Marketing for 1st Guard Corporation. “In this case, the owner operator has to submit requested information and then wait for an agent to call him back. It could take days before the agent has a quote for the owner operator and by that time, it is too late,” added Wilson. “With 1st Guard®, all it takes is four clicks of the mouse and the owner operator has his truck physical damage quote. It is truly an instant quote.”
1st Guard Corporation launched their version of an instant quote several years ago. Subsequently, each day their website receives hundreds of clicks for truck insurance quotes. In order to obtain an instant quote, the owner operator must select the state of residence and the year, make and type of tractor or trailer. The quote is based upon having the monthly premium automatically drafted from a debit card, credit card, checking or savings account. “Our goal is to make truck insurance fast, simple and hassle-free for the owner operator leased to a motor carrier. The on-line, instant quote is one example of this,” stated Ed Campbell, Chairman of 1st Guard Corporation. “Beyond the instant quote, we also offer the owner operator the ability to purchase their truck physical damage policy on-line, 24/7.” This feature is called Buy It Now.
