Recent Reviews for James Benson
- September 10, 2020Rating 5.0James is my new agent and I am very pleased with the service he provides. My son needed to get insurance for a car right away and James went above and beyond to get it done right away. I am very pleased to have my account transferred to James.
- April 21, 2019Rating 4.0It was very helpful and informative. Not only was Jim able to re-write my policies to help make things more affordable for me but also advised me that because of my prior military service, I was eligible for a discount . My only concern is that when I was trying to access my account , I was unable to remember my password and it suggested using my DL number. I tried 3 times but it kept saying , invalid number .
