Only use the rate comparison on this site, never buy directly from them. Search on Google find the insurance company that they gave you the best rates for and buy directly from that company. The General can find better rates for you but they are a middle-man company and will charge you additional rates if you buy from them. You can get much better prices from the direct insurance company than using a middle-man service.

☠ Spamvertized STOOGE Site ☛ Spam Distributors, Email Harvesting, Tracking & Redirection. ☛ Site is associated with or sending Mass UCE Spam. ☛ Spammed site pose Possible Illegal Phishing/ID Theft Scams. ☛ Site uses Shortened/Obscured Redirection URLs to HIDE the true web address. ☛ User beware. Do not become their next victim. *<*-*>* The intended and deceitful practice of sending Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) is not consistent with how a "legitimate and reputable company" would/should do business. *<~>* Common illegal and deceitful practices include: forging the email header, forging the "To" email address, omitting or "munged" the email "To" address and obscuring the website/domain URL (obfuscated the HTML links) and using Shortened URLs to HIDE their true web address. (•ิ_•ิ) Why would you trust a company that needs to knowingly send Illegal Mass UCE Spam? Which of course sounds nothing like how a legitimate and reputable company would/should do business! (•ิ_•ิ) Always remember the basic rules about Scammers/Spammers: ❶ Scammers/Spammers always lie. ❷ If a Scammers/spammer says they aren't lying, see rule 1. ☠ Redirection STOOGE Site: hxxp://catty.us (Website Location: Turkey) ☠ STOOGE IP: ***** ☠ Redirection STOOGE Site: hxxp://clicks.surehits.com ☠ Redirection STOOGE Site: hxxp://hqx-qmp.quinstreet.com ☠ Spamvertized STOOGE Site: hxxp://directautowarranty.biz hxxp://smartvaluecarinsurance.com hxxp://www.thegeneral.com/TGRV2/QuickQuoteHouseholdController.gen

I have had the general for about a year. It is inexpensive and convenient. It was also my understanding that WOT is here to discuss the trustworthiness of a site. Not whether or not you like or dislike the company that owns it.

Ratings are inaccurate for this site, it's a legit insurance company catering to more 'high-risk' needs (i.e. don't expect rates like standard auto insurance companies). Site is perfectly safe.

Don't know why this site is so low in the ratings. Looks like people are abusing the WOT rating system. It's a good, safe site that helps people get quotes for car insurance. It's a real website, no viruses, and safe for children (the ones that want to look at auto insurance rates anyway).

It's a fine insurance company, but then again there are many insurance companies which are much better.

Marketing themselves as "The General" Permanent General Companies offers car insurance in the United States, seeminly with a focus on drivers that have difficulty finding insurance elsewhere. I'm not sure why this site has a bad rating as there are no explanations for it, the company does have A+ accreditation from the Better Business Bureau ***** By all means if anyone has reason to see they have a bad rating, leave a message on my board and I will investigate.

I've used this site plenty of times. I don't know what these people are talking about. It IS a safe site.
