Personal

  • Feel secure on the road.

    Auto insurance is easy to access when you are a good driver, but what about when you have that fender bender and you need assistance?

    Calling an out-of-state corporate office can be frustrating and time consuming. GMS has offices in four locations throughout northern NH to make claims easy!

    Just call, stop by, or email us with your questions or claim information and we’ll help you get back on the road in no time.

    Our premiums compare to other nationwide insurance companies, but our service and location exceed them all.

    Note: If requesting an instant quote, be sure to answer the credit question with a “Yes” in order to see multiple company rates.

  • Compare home and/or car insurance rates from several companies instantly.

    You’ve got options! Now you can instantly compare car and/or home (whether you rent or own) insurance rates from different companies.

    You can also instantly compare them across all premium levels by simply picking a level to start with. When our system returns the comparison, you can simply check out the other levels using the sliding bar near the top of the page. So simple!

    Start by choosing what type of insurance you want to compare – home, car, or both (combining home and auto gets you a discount).

    Note: Be sure to answer the credit question with a “Yes” in order to see multiple company rates.

Life & Health

  • Term

    Life insurance during certain times in everyone’s life is essential, such as buying a home, saving for college or retirement, or just protecting your family’s future.

    You can use affordable term life insurance to provide the funds needed in case the unthinkable happens to you.

    Because we are independent brokers, we do the shopping for you to find you the best rates available. You can also use term life to protect your business from the loss of a key employee or for funding a Buy/Sell agreement.

    Remember, life insurance is not for those who die, it is for those who live. You can lock in a guaranteed level premium for 10, 15, 20, or even 30 years.

    Affordable term life insurance can protect and preserve what you’ve worked hard to attain:

    • Your Home

    • College Savings

    • Retirement Savings

    • Your Family’s Future

    • Your Business

    • Universal Life

    Everyone needs to have a permanent life insurance protection and there is no better way to have that coverage than with a universal life policy.

    With a tax-deferred build-up of cash value at current interest rates, universal life gives you a flexibility that no other life contract can offer. It is the only policy that can be adjusted to meet the changes in your life.

    Let us show you the power of universal life: the policy that will be there when you need it.

    A universal life contract allows you to increase or decrease (within certain limits) your death benefit to fit the changes in your life.

  • For our New Hampshire clients, we can show you individual health options both through the Health Insurance Marketplace or directly through a carrier. 

    We can help determine if you and your family qualify for a subsidy which will offset some of the cost.  Eligibility for subsidies is based on household income and family size, and we can guide you through the application process to see if you qualify. 

    We represent all the carriers available in your area so we will make sure you can pick the one that is the right fit for you. 

    So give us a call during Open Enrollment or if you have a loss of coverage and we’ll help you in every step of the way.

  • Individual, in New Hampshire and Vermont

  • We've been with Geo M Stevens for over 20 years. They are always calm and easy to work with. When we had a claim, even though the incident causing the claim was traumatic, Jeff made the claim process easy. More recently when our policy renewed at a higher cost, Keith took it upon himself to research a better deal for us. Overall we have been very happy with Geo M Stevens Insurance and heartily recommend them.

  • They advocate on behalf of their customers. Good people.

    Stanley Scism
