They took the time to understand my needs, explained everything in simple language, and found us the best coverage at a competitive rate to suit our needs. We felt informed, confident, and fully supported every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for honest and reliable insurance advice as well as after service “ Trevor Grey2025-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harsh was extremely helpful when I had a requirement to arrange some insurance quickly. Far better than my (now ex) insurance provider :-) Kelly and Jason Moore2025-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Harsh enough. We receive great service every time, he is great with follow up and reminders. Happy to have made the move across to HPIB. Ashley Wepener2025-05-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The company building our home referred us to Harsh via email for some help. Got a call back and explained what we needed and was told if we are just shopping around I am wasting their time and that they would not be the best fit for us. Later found out that the person works for commercial companies so maybe should have said can’t help you suggest you do this. So rude.
