This Company Helps One Single Mom Save Nearly $1,000/Year on Car Insurance

FEBRUARY 13, 2018

As a single mother of one, Lourdes Robles-Velazquez has to watch every penny.
She spends her money judiciously. She trims the fat from her budget. She cuts out luxuries.
But she’s never had the option of canceling her car insurance, even when she could barely afford it. That’s not a luxury. In most states, everyone who drives is legally required to be insured.
“With car insurance, you have to have it,” Robles-Velazquez says. “There’s no way you can get around it.”
She reached a point where something had to give, though. She couldn’t afford her premiums anymore. Her insurance — with Liberty Mutual at the time — had to cover two Toyota Priuses that she and her daughter drive.
“Being a single mom and a student, [I am] always trying to find ways to save money,” she says. “I was trying to find car insurance that wasn’t that expensive, but it’s hard if you don’t have anyone to explain the different types of plans to you.”
Robles-Velazquez has to juggle a lot of bills.
She just celebrated her 60th birthday, and has a 25-year-old daughter. She’s an office manager at a nonprofit mental health agency in San Jose, California and attends nearby Santa Clara University, studying to be a counseling psychologist.
Looking for an answer to her car insurance problems, she found a solution through a Facebook ad.

Doing the Comparison Shopping for You

That’s how Robles-Velazquez found Gabi, a service that compares auto insurance policies. Gabi shopped around for her, collecting rates from the 20 largest auto insurers in her home state of California.
Once Robles-Velazquez linked her insurance account to Gabi, it immediately:
  • Scanned her existing insurance plan.
  • Analyzed which coverage she had.
  • Compared other major insurers’ rates for that same coverage.
  • Found her a better rate and offered to help her switch on the spot.
She didn’t even have to fill out any forms.
“[Gabi] gave me a couple of quotes, including one that brought the price down,” Robles-Velazquez says. “I switched [companies] immediately and started to save some money.”
How much money? Insuring two Toyota Priuses, she’s saving $80 a month, which adds up to $960 a year.
Since she signed on with Gabi two years ago, she’s changed insurers twice to save money. Following Gabi’s suggestions, she’s moved from Liberty Mutual to Allstate to Mercury Insurance.
“Right now, I’m paying $125 a month for both cars,” she says. She used to pay about $205.
Gabi says it finds an average savings of over $460 per year for more than 60% of its customers.
If that sounds good, you can create a free account here without committing to anything. Just click on the button that says “Start Your Free Review.” You don’t have to buy anything to see how much you could save.
Gabi isn’t just some glorified search engine. A licensed insurance broker, it maintains its own database of policies from top auto insurers. That’s how it does a real apples-to-apples comparison of car insurance policies, using the same coverage levels and deductibles you currently have.
It will also recommend getting more or less coverage, based on your current insurance plan and usage.
Gabi’s available in Arizona, California, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, Colorado, Utah, Maryland, Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, South Carolina, Connecticut, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Never Shop for Auto Insurance Again

Because it’s an insurance broker, Gabi wants to win over customers for the long term. So if rates ever change and you can get a better deal from a different insurance company, Gabi will suggest you switch insurers again.
Another thing: Shortly after signing on with Gabi, Robles-Velazquez was in an auto accident. It wasn’t her fault. Another driver ran into her car.
“Gabi took care of everything,” she says. “I gave them the information, and they dealt with the other insurance company.”
Now she’ll never have to shop for car insurance again. Gabi has her policy on file. As her life circumstances change, it’ll continue monitoring for potential savings on her behalf.
Mike Brassfield (mike@thepennyhoarder.com) is a senior writer at The Penny Hoarder. He’s waiting for Gabi to get going in Florida.

Operation Gotham Shield 2017

May 11, 2017
"And what about the simultaneous electrical blackouts in three major U.S. cities shortly before the main Gotham Shield events of April 24-26? They fell during the broader exercise date range, yet the lamestream media were almost uninterested in learning the cause. If not actual terror activities, were they part of Gotham Shield, and, if so, what does that say about the federal government’s willingness to create chaos and mayhem among its own people?" 2017 http://americanfreepress.net/operation-gotham-shield-2017/  )

(UPDATE SEE THIS LINK FOR UPDATES AND CRITICAL LINKS/RESOURCES FOR THE REGIONS: Mandatory evacuations remain as Golden Gate blaze continues Updated: Apr 22, 2017 8:30 PM PDT http://www.nbc-2.com/story/35200460/brush-fire-burning-in-collier-county-golden-gate-estates-frangipani The Florida Forest Service said on Saturday that the fire is on the east side of Collier Boulevard and continues heading west.

As of Saturday night, the fire burned 5,500 acres, destroyed at least nine homes, and put 7,000 others in the line of destruction. What some consider most concerning is the containment is only at 20 percent – unchanged from Friday. )





Hey don't mind the spooky looking guy in the pic I have the link to in the info section of but WHY is Snopes "... waiting for confirmation from the Department of Homeland Security that the three events were unrelated and not suspect." ? Why wouldn't they simply be waiting for confirmation from the Department of Homeland Security IF the three events were unrelated OR suspect? Do you people get it yet? So I did some fact-checking myself and the only sources saying Los Angeles was part of the day's outages were mostly obscure, un heard of or the typical wack job sources, but these wack jobs are correct quite often, with their main focus being on awareness of all other possibilities our mainstream media are not allowed to discuss. So what of it, that Los Angeles's was the day before? OH, then nothing to be concerned about, right? NOT. But do you get it that for some reason Snopes and our msm sometimes trip up in their mis-information tactics once in a while, letting on to their true mission? Just look at what they're waiting for. Unbelievable. (NOT). Now, what about the thousands of Floridians who are under mandatory evacuation orders as more than 115 wildfires scorch the state, that started THURSDAY, the SAME day as the Los Angeles power outage, and the day befor the New York and SF outages, BOTH in the SAME morning of FRIDAY? That's yesterday. So see it like this: YESTERDAY: TWO, SF and NY large power outages. The day BEFORE yesterday: MASSIVE FLORIDA wildfires AND a Los Angeles GROUP of power outages. OH! And they're ALL COASTAL areas. OK. look at it like this, too: What I said above. AND THEN, something most of us still don't know yet: According to a April 21, (yesterday), source I'll post in the comments, " ON APRIL 18TH THRU MAY 5TH, 2017, STATE, LOCAL, AND FEDERAL ORGANIZATIONS ALIKE ARE PLANNING FOR OPERATION GOTHAM SHIELD 2017, SIMULATING A NUCLEAR ATTACK ON THE EAST COAST." This is based on an actual government source, "The Nevada National Security Service," and they can be found online at their abbreviation with a . gov website. And the article goes further to note that, "IN JUST A FEW DAYS, DURING APRIL 24-26TH, OPERATION GOTHAM SHIELD WILL COMMENCE." So on the 18th, New York began preparation, and according to the above statement, the commencement is to begin two days from now (April 24, 2017). Meanwhile, two days after the planned preparation day began the further above-mentioned Florida wildfires and the Los Angeles power outages, followed by the San Francisco and New York morning power outages. And BTW, Florida is still burning. As of about two hours ago, according to reports,thirteen homes in Lee County have been damaged or destroyed by a 400-acre wildfire.
More than 2,000 homes are under a mandatory evacuation order in the county, which includes Fort Myers on the southern part of the Gulf Coast. (Where I had responded as a crisis chaplain back in 2003 after the multiple historical deadly hurricanes struck the same area 3X's in a row within a month.)
Further south in neighboring Collier County, a fire near the Golden Gate Estates section of Naples has grown to 5,500 acres.
Mandatory evacuation zone includes more than 6,000 structures. Two trailers, two vehicles, and several outbuildings have been destroyed, according to the Florida governor's office.
Already on-scene since yesterday are the state's National Guard, including five UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. Well, Korea is happening. According to a report by South Korea's primary news outlet, Yonhap,the Pentagon has directed a total of three US aircraft carriers toward the Korean Peninsula, citing a South Korean government source. A friend pointed out a few things, including, three aircraft carriers include the three carriers as well as 20 additionel ships each. And that is not including the Trident and other subs along the way. The carriers are, the U.S.S.'s Ronald Reagan, Carl Vinson and the Nimitz. My friend, Doug Krieger, put's it this way: (QUOTE)"In case you're not aware who trucks with a USA-Aircraft Carrier - try up to 20 additional WAR VESSELS - so having 3 Aircraft Carrier Groups in Korean waters is 3 + 60 = 63 ships (give or take) and then there's submarines--like in TRIDENT who are so lethal it isn't funny...just so you know... One American Aircraft Carrier Group could take on the entire subcontinent of India and 3 - well, you just don't want to go there...the NIMITZ is Nuclear-Powered - weighs +/- 100,000 Tons - has 90+ Aircraft aboard and missiles coming out your ears!! Each aircraft has around 5,000 personnel---YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE POWER THEY POSSESS!" (END QUOTE) The Nimitz is in Oregon undergoing maintenance and training. The Vinson will be in Korea by the 25th and the Ronald Reagan is on it's way now as I speak, from Japan, all toward S. Korea. Let all that sink in. Now take into account the many terrorist attacks between the U.K. since 2005 and the 9-11 attacks that ocurred during the same time as our domestic security department's terrorist trainings. Way more than mere coincidence. OK friends, I'm ending this broadcast like this: If you haven't got Jesus, now's the time. Jesus said, "...learn of me." In Matthew's Gospel chapter 11:29 Jesus said, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." Read that dusty Bible, or go get a free one from a church or go get you one from a Christian book store. Read some of my previous blogs and you can see what I've already broadcast and wrote about, on how these are all tied in to Biblical prophecy. But until the next broadcast, I'm going to let all this sink in a bit too before either my next subject or possibly a part two to this. But I need to stop, as I'm limited to 15 min per broadcast on my small site I'm currently on, and laying low on the one I'm a guest on that is unlimited, but til further notice, there are things happening and not yet able to continue on there, but it's imperative for me to obtain listener support for what I've also mentioned previously about full-time availability broadcasting and disaster response with Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and Samaritan's Purse. I can't always depend on my guest site depending on who may be needing to broadcast all at the same time, and with my own, there will be nobody waiting in line to do their shows. And on the ministry field, my broadcasts will be mostly time sensitive for the soul purpose of the time-sensitive-things-of-God. So it would be a tremendous blessing to have sponsors and back-up. I already have a very cutting edge concept for my show that is sure to be certifiable sensation. But it needs to be under wraps until I have the assurance of assist, if I can borrow a basketball term. All my broadcasts from this podcast site are stored on my youtube, at this link: https://www.youtube.com/user/enquireof/videos .
If you would like to support me to travel to domestic disasters such as now, FLORIDA, or Texas, Louisiana and other state's floods, fires & other disasters; and to help me with a premium podcast subscription for broadcasting unlimited amount of shows instead of limited to 5 hours total, where I have to delete podcasts in order to make room for more, you may do so through several ways: One is by purchasing my book, "Making America Righteous-Again-From Bitterness To A Delight", at, https://www.amazon.com/Making-America-Righteou…/…/B01A1JPHUC . Also you may go to this link to my PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/michaeldt and simply give as you are able. ALSO, you may see more detail at my GiveSendGo account, https://www.givesendgo.com/michaeltobin , and my GoFundMe account, https://www.gofundme.com/almost-homeless-missionary . And my blog site is, www.michaeldtobin.blogspot.com , where I log my most hard-hitting stuff. Thank you again, and God bless you. http://www.snopes.com/power-outages-la-sf-nyc/
