Time Is Money: Save Both (NAPSA)—Saving 5 cents a gallon on gas is great. But if you have to drive 20 minutes to get to the station, is it really a savings? If a deal costs you valuable time, it’s not a deal at all. The same holds true with auto insurance. Bargain-basement policies can gobble up your time if you have to file a claim. You can spend up to four days calling repair shops, getting estimates and arrangingfor a rental car. Remember, insurance isn’t just about price. It’s about service, too. The concierge level of claims ser- vice offered by Progressive can cut the claims/repair process from four daysto only 15 minutes. “You may think the most stressful part of being involvedin anaccident is the crash itself. But that’s just the beginning,” said Craig Moore with Progressive. “We’ve come up with an easy, time-saving way to managerepairs.” Simply drop off the damaged vehicle at a service center and a claims representative will handle the entire claims/repair process for you. Repairs are guaranteed for as long as you ownorlease your vehicle. Here’s how the concierge level of claims service works: Report the claim.Call or go online to report the claim. A claims rep will schedule a time to bring your vehicle to the service center. Drop off and go. In about 15 minutes, you can be on your way in a rental car.
