Clients reviews about California Insurance Finder

I cannot recommend Don Ariosto and the team at California Insurance Finder highly enough. While Don handles all my personal insurance and is my go-to partner for my Mortgage and Real Estate clients, it’s his character that truly shines. Recently, during the height of his busiest season (open enrollment), he dropped everything to help my mother with her Medicare enrollment. We had spent over three and a half hours on hold with the provider with no luck. Don stepped in, personally handled the entire transaction, and made the process seamless just as the deadline was approaching. Whether it’s for a professional client or a family member in a pinch, Don always comes through. There is simply no one better." ~ Dave D

Don Ariosto is a godsend! Don literally saved me nearly $25,000 in total for my business WC and GL insurance. When it came time to renew my existing WC policy with ICW, I was shocked to find out it would be nearly twice as much as my previous years premium. So instead of accepting what I was told by my old agent that there is no other option. I decided to shop around and happened to find CiF and Don. I didn’t have much hope to find something better but I had to give it a try, and boy am I glad I did. So for the ICW WC Policy Don was able to save me nearly $20,000 And on top of that, my other location’s WC Policy he was able to save me almost $5000 for that policy. Needless to say, I was shocked at the difference. The lesson here is that, sometimes it’s worth shopping around. So give Don a call and let him work his magic. It doesn’t hurt to just get a second quote. ~ Shawn T

I was in need of an insurance agent that could help me find a low price. The quotes I received before finding CIF were sky high. That’s when I got lucky and found Eileen here at CIF. From the beginning she was patient, nice, and most of importantly very knowledgeable. She found me a great deal with Mercury and has been my agent for the past 2 years. She would respond immediately anytime I would call with a question or need help with my policy. Always gave the correct answer to my questions and was always honest. Thank You Eileen ~ Ryan L

I've been fortunate enough to have used CIF for my office insurance needs for many years. They have helped me with health, business liability and workman's comp coverage for my employees. It's reassuring to know that I don't have to reach out to them when my policies come due for renewal. They're always on top of my policies, are proactive in bringing policy renewals to my attention and have always been responsive to any needs I have as a client. Recommend them highly!

Bridget is the best! I can’t begin to tell you how hard she worked on my health insurance policy. There was a huge problem with my plan and I almost got cancelled. Thankfully Bridget being a superhero swoop in and save the day! It took about 1 month of her persistently calling my health care provider and getting them to realize their mistake. As an added bonus she got my premium on the same policy at a lower rate! I am so grateful for CIF and Bridget. I don’t know what I would have done without them. Thanks again! ~ Tianji

CIF recently helped me, and my wife enroll in an excellent Rx plan. They are diligent in finding the right plan based on your actual prescription usage. In addition, they helped my son-in-law and family enroll in a health insurance plan through Covered California. They are experts in navigating through this complex program. I plan to place my homeowner's and auto insurance policies including a renter's policy through them when they come up for renewal! Excellent customer service!! ~ John F

This place is AWESOME! I can't believe how easy they make it to get health insurance... Plus, Valerie got me down to a fraction of what I thought I was going to be paying.. I couldn't possibly be any happier with the service I received here!!! If the whole idea of health insurance or auto insurance is just so intimidating that you don't even want to mess with it, please get a hold of these guys I promise, you won't regret it. Thanks again Valerie! ~ Brandon C

We had an abrupt need to change our homeowners insurance. I called CIF and had the pleasure of working with Eileen. She was so responsive, knowledgeable and so patient in addressing my concerns. I was so stressed by the very limited time we had to secure insurance. Eileen was so fantastic in turning this around and making sure we were cared for. Her Exceptional customer service and her expertise made all the difference. Most impressive and I would certainly recommend CIF. ~ Liz S

Eileen is very professional. She quickly helped me to get a reasonable quote for my home insurance and able to get it to my mortgager on the same day in a matter of couple hours. I reviewed the proposal, signed docs online then exchange some emails and 1 phone call with Eileen then done. I cannot ask for better service than that. Eileen is truly awesome and know what she is doing. I’d give her 6 stars if i could ~ Lannie T

Don Ariosto has been handling our home and auto insurance for years. When we needed him for business liability insurance, recently, he was great, efficient and helpful. The best part is I've never had anyone be so responsive. He was so quick to call me back. He was not bothered by questions. He explained things in a simple way that made sense. His office staff are likewise quick and helpful and everyone there is friendly. ~ Stuart K

Health Insurance is very complicated. Valerie at CIF Insurance Agency explained the available options in a language we could understand. We learned so much about the insurance policies. After a policy was chosen and purchased - Valerie was readily available for all of our questions. We truly appreciate the assistance she provided for our family. I would strongly recommend this agency to anyone in need of insurance. Thank you Valerie. ~ JoLynn T

I switched to CIF for my company’s medical insurance needs and have been so happy. Yesenia, Don and Olivia are so amazing. They have been so helpful and on top of things. They respond to my calls and emails quickly and always have the answers. Don came to our office and sat with my employees and went over everything in detail. I cannot say enough great things about their team. Thank you guys! Keith C - LVN (New Foundation Medical Group) ~ keith c

I just wanted to comment that I was extremely happy with Valerie's help in signing me up for health insurance. Valerie was very knowledgeable and very prompt in responding to my questions and concerns. She saved me a lot of stress with the whole process. In addition to her professionalism, she is also a very caring person. I really appreciate all her help. ~ Gloria E

New customer review: Of three quotes requested for a first-time commercial policyholder, CIF was the only one to listen/read my request and accurately match my Business Type and Industry. As a result, their quote was slightly (~5%) under other quotes; it was them actually taking the time to read and understand my request, however, that won them my business. ~ Matt I

My husband and I have been with CIF for over four years and have several policies through Don Ariosto. We came to him on the recommendation of satisfied friends and we have also recommended Don to our family and friends. Don carefully advised us through some complex insurance issues. He has taken care of us all very well, giving excellent advice, and patiently! Sue Lauterjung, Mission Viejo ~ Susan L

We just entered the world of Medicare and the mountains of information from the federal government can be intimidating. So a friend recommended California Insurance Finder and they quickly made such a different experience for us with friendly and emensly helpful service! They made it easy to understand and execute. We left with understanding, coverage and confidence. Thank you Don and Valerie! ~ Bart H

I selected CIF two years ago for my medical due to their close proximity to my home. Due to their excellent performance, I have since added my home, two rentals, two cars and now my MediCare Supplement. Unlike my prior insurance agency, who I rarely heard from, Kristen and Eileen are always looking out for me and available to answer any questions I have. ~ Gordon C

I just want to share how easy Don Ariosto made it for my husband and I to apply for a Medicare Advantage Plan. He explained everything in detail and was very patient with me and my questions. I was so pleased with his knowledge of the insurance plans. I would refer anyone that asks to this insurance agency. One happy senior here!!! ~ Sioux R

Don and his staff are amazing!!! I tried to navigate our crazy health care system and finally asked for Don to help. He and his staff jumped through hoops to make it happen for us. He makes choosing and maintaining the right options for us simple. He and his staff treat us like family. Thanks again ~ Carl M

CIF has been a game changer for us. The cost of commercial insurance policies is skyrocketing, and putting the hurt on small businesses. CIF reviews our insurance needs in depth and matches us with the policy that best suits those needs. In one year's time, CIF has saved us over $20,000 in premiums. ~ Michelle T

Just turned 65 and got a bit overwhelmed with the medicare options available to me. Don and Kristen were able to present a clear path for my situation. Now, I'm all set and they were able to provide my wife coverage and reduce the premium also. Highly recommend. Communications are timely and explanation of process is spot on. ~ Matt H

Great personal experience with knowledgeable agents. Have discussed a variety of business and personal insurance needs and quotes with them and they are both communicative and quickly responsive when doing so. They have walked me through several years of open enrollment and I appreciate their patience and hard work. ~ Edith R
