I like how they automatically quote you through NGI (National General Insurance) first when you call, even though Bob Fulcher, VP of GSI told me in a private message...

You are partially correct in your assumption. National General does pay higher commissions compared to the other carriers we represent. They also provide the most comprehensive coverage and the largest discounts for Good Sam members. That being said, my instructions to our agents has been to present National General first only if the price is competitive with the other companies; presenting NGIC when they are twice as high is a definite error by the agent. NGIC is also the only company that we presently have available for online quoting. If someone requests a quote from our website, they will get a NGIC quote.
Thanks for your message and your business.
So they are instructed to go with NGI only when the price is competitive. Which is funny, because when I called them and didn't like the price they gave me through NGI, I asked them to quote me through Allied, which I had previously. They had to go back and gather all the information from me to give me that quote. Why would they need to do that if they were going to offer me the best competitive price? By the way, NGI was twice as high as the Allied quote..... I believe the true answer was in the 2nd sentence about NGI payign the highest commissions....
