I always wondered what if someone started an insurance business that didn’t spend billions on advertisements, it just offered genuinely lower rates. When you sign up you have to sign something promising you’ll tell 2 other people.

There are plenty of insurance companies that are like this. They're significantly cheaper than the nationally advertised insurance options.

The Market Basket of insurance companies - solid, quality products, at a reasonable price, because they simply don’t do any marketing.
