2.0(115)✓ Google-verified

Most reviewers report unresponsive customer service, claim denials they see as unfair, and rate increases they find punitive. A small number praise their individual broker or adjuster for quick problem-solving; one long-term customer with two claims resolved within hours credits staff member Siamara and adjuster Shelley for professionalism, while another credits Gillian Dronyk's careful handling of a car accident claim. Problems center on inaccessible claims teams, repeated requests for the same information, and rejection of claims on older vehicles citing corrosion without visible damage. The telematics app penalizes drivers heavily for not recording every trip. One customer saw premiums jump from $136 to $575 monthly after buying an EV. Website states they hold Great Place to Work and 5-Star Claims certifications; the review evidence does not align.
