Hartford car or condo insurance, or both. Is it good or bad? Low or high rates? Do they give discounts for bundling both? Do they give you a hard time with payoffs or repairs?  
Any & all input is valuable.

Most insurance companies will give a discount if you combine policies. I _think_ one reason is that they can combine the liability coverage. I don’t have any experience with The Hartford, but I’d recommend that you shop around. And also talk to independent insurance agents. I believe that’s how my father buys insurance. The advantage is they can check rates from multiple companies.

Yeah, I don’t do accident, just Life and Annuities, but I have access to many companies and shop my clients insurance needs around to get the best deal.
