You’re not in good hands with Allstate as I was told by my Canadian lawyer. He claims they are the worst in the industry. I was a victim in a near fatal car accident and Allstate dragged the law suit out for seven years. My own insurance company told my wife and I they would have paid out in a fraction of the time whereas it was a cut and dry case as to who was at fault. This is cruel and an unjust way for conducting insurance business in terms of payouts. There needs to be laws against this sort of thing. My lawyer basically threatened to take the persons home that hit me as I was about to lose my own by default. I was no longer
able to work and forced in to early retirement. Twenty years later I live with chronic pain and haven’t worked in Twenty two years. I am now sixty two years old and was only forty in the prime of my life the year of the accident. I feel cheated out of a normal fruitful life and had to close my business, a very sad situation indeed.
Damn dude thats one hell of a story I truly hope you have found a better purpose or reason to move on or has pushed you past the consequences of that accident, the system scammed you and you didn’t deserve it
Yep. Allstate is criminal.
I love how my renewal jumped up to $70 a month extra for literally no reason. No tickets. No claims. Same address. On time payments.
Similar situation with me. Insurance spreads risk amoung a large group, so we are paying for the errors of the group.
AND ADVERTISING
Mine did the same and when asked why they say they'll check and they never get back to me
that because people like you lack a basic understanding of how a rate is made, when a person in your area gets in a accident your rates go up.... lmfao yall really cant be this naive and not understand rates....
Me too. Progressive.
Insurance is a scam.
I have it, because my state requires it, but the company that I use DOES NOT ADVERTISE.
No cute animated figures, no actors, no racecars, no boats, etc, none of that stuff that you know gets passed down to the consumer.
Why pay for that?
If the rates are crazy for me I'll drop the Comp & Theft and only pay for liability. Same for my house. Not going to get ripped off.
Tried that!!.....I live in Oregon with a 2012 vehicle and I still have to have both
Wait until you have a claim? Or after. WHO?
@@floydestelle6242yeah wait till you get denied from fraudulent hearsay.
depends on how much assets you have to protect.
According to the speaker......Kemper. Mercury. National General. Travelers. Allstate. SAFECO. GEICO. Hartford. Progressive Direct. Liberty Mutual. Farmers. AAA.
Liberty Mutual is evil. Dealing with their bullshit right now.
Basically the entire car insurance industry 😂😂
@a.jvalle8905 Lmao, very accurate 😅
Don't forget State Farm. I will never do business with them again.
You can also add State Farm
I was with Allstate for over 30 years, a wind storm took 68 tabs off my roof. Allstate adjuster told me we didn't count tabs on the ground and paid for only 13 missing on the roof. When I got the check for $233.00 it wasn't signed, it took almost 3 more months to get a signed check from Allstate. I called the State Insurance commission and Allstate called me once, the email address to mail in an updated claim wouldn't accept the information and photos. This company fails to be of service to its longtime customers. Oh, because Allstate didn't step up in the first place, I got ripped off by a substandard roofing company and now I we'll have to replace the roof because of too many to mention violations of code. This was a $15,000.00 lesson in life, I will never be trusting insurance companies or roofing contractors ever again. Learn from my mistakes people.
I dislike car insurance companies!!! They are greedy!!! They keep raising the prices!!! 😣
I mean no disrespect what I'm about to say. Let's suppose you hit my car slightly, fender bender at worst and it's your fault, I am going to get an attorney & rake up $29,000 in medical bills and demand your insurance pay the auto liability limits, normally they are $30K and it will be paid. The attorney, the doctors and I split the proceeds. Now, tell me, whose being greedy.
@@rogerbec5766you are assuming the people are just want to rip off the insurance company but my take is they do this because of the insurance companies are known for low balling or denying claims hoping the person filing the claim will accept what they are offered.
@@rogerbec5766 State Farm has a net worth of $134.8 billion dollars. 30K and 29 K is chump change to these insurers. Every time they have to pay out, they cry like a bitch like Mike Tyson just kicked their ass.
You think it's expensive now have a axdent
They raised prices because of plenty of insurance frauds and high payout.
Who are you kidding, ALL insurance is a SCAM !
You're right
Have you ever been in an accident or had something major happen to your home?
If you had good coverage with a good company you likely avoided having to pay tens or hundreds of thousands after paying a few thousand over the years
Then don’t buy insurance….problem solved.
I agree 100% about avoiding Allstate. Many years ago, when I was 26, I had moved to a new state and purchased my first car. I had been driving for years and had no violations, but this was the first auto I actually owned. I paid a visit to an Allstate office located in a Sears store (Sears owned Allstate at that time). I filled out the application and was told to return in a couple of days after their regional office located in Mississippi had a chance to review the application and approve it. There was no hint of any problem. When I came back a couple of days later, I was shocked when they told me my application had been declined. No reason was given but I had my suspicions that race had something to do with it. Within a day or so, I had secured coverage with another insurer (I think it was Liberty Mutual) with no problem whatsoever. That is the only time in my life I have ever been turned down for insurance coverage. I vowed at the time that I would NEVER buy insurance of any kind from Allstate and I have kept that vow for over 50 years. I never have, and I never will!!! My current car insurance is with State Farm and I am very happy with it and their local agent I deal with.
I would add the general as one of the worst companies to deal with, so far. They start out cheap, but raise your rates shortly after joining and the first time you get in an accident they jack your rates way up. I went from $129 a month to 250, 350, 459, 750, $1000. When I decided to cancel they want to charge me $350 to cancel. Also they have very long claims approval waiting time.
I didn’t even have a accident and they still raised my insurance
Can't be legal charging a fee to cancel
@@davidcarp5935 Geico pulls that same crap. I refused to pay and told them to pound salt where the sun don't shine.
My experience is that insurance companies rely on their customers not bothering to shop around when renewal time comes. People, SHOP, SHOP, SHOP AROUND! Its very easy with the internet. GEICO screwed me with an unreasonable renewal rate increase and I had new insurance within an hour and saved $2K a year..
Same asvice of shopping around comes from Prepper Princess!!
Even to get a quote they want my ssn and entire life history. Am I supposed to trust 13, 14 agents with that info just for some ballpark figures?
We need an insurance,doctor,hospital,government,drug company,court system overhaul they are all way too broken.
What we need is a dollar for dollar forensic audit of the Federal Budget.
State farm is high they raised my insurance up another $50.00 for no reason the law needs to be changed so that you don't have to have insurance then they would be willing to lower their prices to compete with other companies
State Farm is one of the WORST paying claims - they do not want to pay claims.
It’s not just Allstate. All companies want to lower your coverage for a low cost premium. As you said, if you want to pay less, they want to give you less, then raise the cost of your premium in the very next billing cycle..
Lower cost means lower coverage? In what universe does this not make sense?
@nickv4073 - Right?! This person literally just asked, "I pay for less, so why should I receive less?"
USAA is the worst of the worst. 20 years in military, one claim (less than $3000.00) and I got cancelled.
I have done more than 1k claims with USAA in the restoration industry and they’re amazing to their clients but can’t explain why you got cancelled ! Just some advice only file
When you have a larger claim .
On the car insurance side, USAA has been great for me since 1981.
I’ve been with USAA since 1987 and have files 10-15 claims. I still keep them based on how good they have been.
I have zero issues with them in 20 years with property and auto I pay a premium but they always pay legit claims and take care of their people. If you have USAA never leave them you'd be a f'ing idiot to.
So basically they all suck?
Great information!! Thank you for helping elevate the game for agents - love what you're doing!
👊🏼
In Arizona the State Atorney Generals Office has long referred to State Farm Insurance as "snake farm insurance" because state farm had demanded that their clients that had been hospitalized due to auto accidents be removed from hospital beds as they were not going to pay for hospitalization whether the accident was the client's fault are not. The Arizona AG office has been busy over the years, suing state farm forcing them to honor their contractual agreements.
this should be good publicity for them nationwide, lol
100% untrue as far as SF ordering how medical care treatment is administered. Handled THOUSANDS of BI claims and never once made any kind of request like that. Mistakes are made and there are times when SF has dropped the ball, but this claim here is 100% BS.
Allstate will underpay in any way, shape, or form possible, the worst.
I work in insurance, I must agree. Once reputable, but I had to fight the adjuster. One things many do not know is if you file under your coll, your insurance places you at fault. Fortunately I caught on, and I insisted that the vehicle was parked, and was hit. It is not collision b/c the vehicle was not moving. I worked for them for a short time, worst company to sell with too. The agencies must compete against Allstate online. The company does not provide any marketing to their agents and agents must pay out of pocket for their marketing sources. Not a single person lasts more than a month working there.
Allstate is the worst
Farm Bureau of NC has been cheapest company I called and I called basically all the main ones. A lot of the smaller ones seem to use bigger ones for insurance.
I have been with State Farm for 25 years or so, cars and two houses, and they are very affordable. I never had a claim until last year when a huge hail storm came in... They paid for all my damage with out any fuss...I am beyond happy with State Farm and they paid out my roof claim, the first half and second half, instantly.... My agent even called me a month after my claim was closed and ask if I am happy with the repairs and offered to help if I had any concerns...Wonderful guys....
I've also had State Farm for 20 years here in Alabama. One 4-27 2011, an F-5 tornado hit Pleasant Grove, Al where I was living. For us, my wife and I, our agent really came through. Our house was a complete loss with all the contents. Everything was covered except 2 cars in our driveway which had liability only, not collision. I can only speak for my situation, but my State Farm agent, Maurice Oliver, was great.
I've insured with State Farm off and on for around 20 years. I would call them a "legacy" company since my grandfather also insured with them. Their rates have been climbing around 10% every 6 months. However, they have an agent around pretty much every corner, I have an e-bike insured with them as well as my car, and they offered me a transponder to track my driving so that I'm paying a rate based on my own driving and not someone else's. I'd give them at least a 9 out of 10.
My wife and I have also had really good service from State Farm. She has survived several attacks by deer the last few years and State Farm quickly repaired the car with high quality parts. She got rear ended in Milwaukee while stopped at a RED stop light by a commercial vehicle which crunched her rear end fairly well and State Farm took over and quickly repaired her car - where the other insurance company was going to drag it out for months. Then State Farm collected from the other insurance company.
Thanks for the good videos 😊
A few years ago there was a report about Allstate where several customers with Allstate policies claimed Allstate has the highest claim denial for auto accidents, even if the other driver was at fault. Around 80% of Allstate claims are denied. Keep in mind most county police will not do a police report for an accident when private or public property is not damaged or no passengers were injured. That gives the insurance company ultimate leeway to decide fault. When they deny claim then you have to get an attorney.
Never heard this from anyone! If you have collision coverage, it does not matter if you are at fault or not…your insurer covers your car ACV less deductible, and may subrogate against the responsible party.
@@maryrenaud6732 As I mentioned Allstate
My uncle‘s wife said stay away from Allstate!
@@simon359 I had a major issue with Allstate 20 years ago with my auto policy. I ended up cancelling the policy. Allstate has been on the bottom of the list for a very long time.
It doesn’t matter all of them are the same only premium matters in the end run. Unfortunately after claim not matter who you are with you are screwed
Total your car and cut you a check for 3000. What a scam.
Statefarm just raised my insurance by 60.00 I also had no tickets, no accidents , nothing! The damn car is parked from Mon-Fri .. switched to local progressive for 40 bucks cheaper same coverage too!
Is there a video where you explain "stacked and unstacked" UM coverage?
I’ll stay with USAA! When you call for info and help, they are the most courteous, informative and nice to speak with. They answer all questions and when we needed repair to our car, they were quick to respond. Had an accident with a Progressive customer who backed into my car. It took six months to get everything settled. All it was is a dent in the front panel of my car. Their customer hit and ran away from my parked car. Unfortunately, for them, someone was watching and got their license place number. 😊
Usaa is so expensive now though 😢 at least in MD but maybes it’s just that state
@@sailorthesis No, they all screw you for everything they can get.
From our ( my wife and I ), experience, your agent can play a significant role in your satisfaction or disappointment regarding an insurance co. We have had agents that, if there was a problem on our end, would speak out on our behalf and, for the most part, get the situation resolved. Also, I think agents in smaller towns tend to have more of a caring attitude towards their customers.
I dumped Liberty Mutual because they wanted to raise my annual rate $500.
You are lucky that's all they raise it
I previously had Kemper. Lady crashed me and left scratches and dents on my 2 passenger doors. When I filed a claim, it all happened in less than 2 weeks. Filled a claim, they sent me the money and chose my auto body repair shop.
I like your information presented. I am looking to know if there is a central data reporting place where all cargo damages, theft, losses are reported by insurance companies for the USA? Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks 🙏🏼. The central reporting for claims and tickets is usually with a company called Lexis Nexis
My car insurance jumped up 21 percent for the new year of 2024. With 3 teenagers the wife and me I am gonna be in the poor house.
State Farm
Mine too this month in mass
Find a Citizens Insurance-agent if they’re in your state (not FL’s Citizens/carrier of last resort). They have a few programs for teen drivers that can save a chunk. Also, if you can sign up for AARP and AMAC, you get a good discount.
its not useful when you list every company i ever heard of.
I have had great experience with American Family Insurance. Big part is your agent...mine is very good.
One of the earliest things in my life I remember was at age 5 (1955) when my Dad told me "Son, never buy Allstate Insurance". I have followed that advise all of my life.
I personally have found Farmers, Shelter, and State Farm to never have any issues. The most important key is to find and have a great agent who will go to bat for you hitting a home run every time (when needed) going that extra mile for you. One example is how a Shelter agent "cherry picked" a claims person to get my roof replaced from a hale storm.
I live in a rural area of Northwest New Jersey. Farmers auto insurance was insane in comparison to Allstate I have used Allstate for the past 2 years for home and auto. I use Milewise for my auto insurance, though I have to have an OBD data plug that monitors my driving, I pay 7.00 dollars per week for full coverage. I also bundled my home insurance and it has gone up 100.00 this year.
$7.00 a week in what world?. How about. 😮$100 per month or $600 per 6month premium.
@@glynnjohnson3531 Allstate Milewise..I work from home.
as a liberty mutual agent, local agents haven more become Comparion agents HOWEVER when you call in you get a specific licensed agent and can get their direct number to keep the same agent. state farm 2 years and LM 8 years.

I worked for a very popular insurance company, in claims, for 6 years. I've seen hundreds upon hundreds of auto and home claims from multiple states come across my desk , and from the experience that I've seen, Nationwide Insurance and Allstate Insurance are the 2 biggest companies that will screw you out of your claims the most, by far. Nationwide is definitely the worst, especially with auto accidents. The best ones I've had experience with has been USAA and Farm Bureau
Devastated hailstorm , whole town hit. I had 55% lower adjustment then lowest per Farm Bureau agents report. Also my house was the ONLY one in town that did not get ANY new siding awarded. What was my co? Well just say they are on your backside, not on your side. And I had a 2 story house faced directly into in storm.
I don't think Allstate has ever been fair and I speak from experience of many years!
I was just checking prices and they did a credit check.
Pissed me off . I was just comparing.
I’m tired of every 6 months I always have a higher bill they never had to pay out no tickets no accident I feel they owe me a check instead of using my money for irresponsible drivers and my rates keep going up and because were I live this is a monopoly that needs to stop!
I was involved in a vehicle collision I was a passenger any other driver that hit us is 100 at fault so I have two insurance companies, the primary is the other drivers, in the secondary is the drivers that I was in, the secondary is paying policy maximum limits heels and they're equal as far as the limits go.
Is it a bad idea to tell the primary Insurance Company that the other underinsured secondary insurance company is paying policy limits...
...Will that put the pressure on the primary Insurance Company to do policy limits for a settlement ?
I would let the insurance companies do their due diligence and pay out based on their findings. It’s rare they pay out extra by mistake 🤓.
If you’re concerned, and you think it is a mistake then it’s better to get clarification now than them asking for the money back later.
@ThinkInsurance that doesnt make sense to me...did you read my question?
@@OneLifeOneMillionChoicesyou should ask your agent lol
I was in the Army from Dec. 7, 1965 through Dec. 6 1967. From the last part of 1966 until I got out, I lived off base near Fort Bragg, N. C. I had Allstate Insurance. Didn't have any tickets, I had my address changed while there, when I came back to MIchigan, I called and let them know I was back in MIchigan. I got a letter in the mail telling me that they were cancelling my insurance because of high mileage on my car. I tell anyone that I talk to that I would stay away from Allstate!
Can you tell us who we should use?
I’m with you on Progressive, and so forth. If you tell them you’re licensed they immediately hike your price instead of providing better price and coverage. When you’ve tried to use “price your own tool”, not everything you’d like to build your own policy. I can’t stand them.
Abolish the entire insurance industry.
So then how will your
Claim to your property be made whole ?
Insurance is legalized extortion.
What you pay = . Insurance pays = ⚪️ scam?? Explain?
THAT IS THE STATEMENT OF THE CENTURY!!!
If you have a company that takes in people's money EVERY month and in return promises to pay you back some money IF....THATS IF.... something ever happens to you or your family and even then fights like hell to not even give you that. I'LL TAKE THAT DEAL ALL DAY LONG AND TWICE ON SUNDAY!! They have already lobbied the government to give them privileges with certain laws so they will always come out on top. We are definitely a slave to them and always will be!!
Well said Lileigh980!!!
I've had bad experiences with
State Farm & National General
I worked in auto insurance and learned over the years that the word "coverage" is also a plural and that "coverages" is often misused.
I have allstate for home and auto and had storm damage to my roof. It took me 6 months and 4 different adjustors to get my claim finalized. Were not willing to help at all....
Was treated pretty good by allstate new roof and damage to vehicles
Why is it when i purchased auto insurence six years ago, i paid the first month premium when i took the policy. I had automatic payments. I just changed companies and had four days left on my old insurance till that month ran out . My new company insurance is to start the next day. When i cancelled my old one they said i will be charged for the month. If its two days before the next month and it's cancelled, why am i being chrged again after its canceled,? My new policy is paid in advance for the month, same as my last one. The other insurane company is scamming me.
It depends on the day you started your old policy. Sometimes people change the due date as well, but that doesn’t change the renewal date.
IE: if you started the policy on the 22nd but changed your payment date to the 28th, 6 years later you cancel as of the 25th, you owe 3 day still.
If that’s not the case, they might be saying it’s too late to stop the payment if you cancel only a day or two before it pulls. In that scenario they would refund the payment back.
Insurance companies are controlled by Greed!
The days of putting the customer first, are dead!
Along with the American Dream.
I really need to buy an auto insurance and I reside in CA. Please recommend an affordable one and easy to deal with. Thank you.
Mercury and Wawanesa are two companies I would look into. Geico is likely the cheaper option
Aflac is also one that is not paying claims on timely I've filed a claim 10 months ago and still no payment
Is AFLAC the company that contracts their advertising to a challenged Duck?
I have a theory: rates are up to cover the expense of those companies paying for EVs and natural disasters. They can't have their profits impacted by anything.
I recently just moved from Michigan to Texas. Since Michigan is still a no fault state I thought car insurance would be cheaper in Texas. I was with AAA in Michigan. To get the same coverage I had in Michigan it was going to be $130 more per month with AAA. So I did some research and shopped around and State Farm is who I went with. Same coverage and same price as what I was paying in Michigan. If you have good credit, go with State Farm.
Be careful, my father-in-law had State Farm for his house insurance for about 45 years. One $30000 claim and the dropped him. In 1999 there was a large tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. State Farm was sued(and lost) for lowballing home owners for replacement and repairs. In the 1980s(before I lot of laws against this kind of behavior was passed), my sister was hit by a State Farm customer. They tried to put a fender from the the far east on her GM car. Would not even hold paint. All this, plus an article I read quite few years ago rules out State Farm, Farmers, and Allstate for me. These three companies hired a consultant to essentially learn how to cheat their customers(low balling, hard to read fine print, etc.).
Would the independent high quality auto body repair experts care to elaborate on this matter?
Allstate-I received 6 different bids for home insurance. I will never use them again.
What's even more annoying is that many employers prefer people who can drive and have their own car. So I'm paying for insurance and maintenance for a car, and then commuting on a bicycle, but if I get rid of my car then my employers will take issue with that and finding new jobs would be even more of a pain.
Many years ago had Allstate until they left the state had Liberty Mutual they dropped me after one very minor accident neither one will ever get my business ever again all insurance is a scam unfortunately it’s an evil necessity where the consumer is the one that ultimately always gets screwed
I think going with a local company is better then a branded company. Wife had some off branded insurance its less and it actually does stuff not like GEICO, Farmers, State Farm. These all suck!
The only thing you can say for sure about Insurance company prices is there isnt a cheaper one. Different companies are cheaper for different people. Also their coverages are different from one another, making it difficult to compare to each other, since the policies arent identical.
Been with usaa for 30 years. Best company hands down.
What is the issues with Hartford
What is a good company for permit drivers? Need insurance to buy car and take test.
Geico and Progressive are the two I would try but if you’re under 18 they might require you be listed on a legal guardians policy.
Usually if you’re added to your partners policy, there is not typically an extra cost for having a learner permit
Farmers actually sucks. I had them for years. Come a claim time, the adjuster told me they don't pay for anything. Cost me some $6,000 out of pocket. On top of that, I went from $400 a year premium cost to $900 a year for my home in just 3 years. They love adding crap to your policy that is worthless, you can't deny and get screwed paying for it.
Ugh I just got farmers cause of a buy out of met life or whoever I had I forget at the moment but the prior was good
I had country company had one claim in 20 years they told me they would sent a contractor to do the repairs which mever happened i call them and was told the claim was over since i never signed the contractors contract the contractor never showed up and then they canceled me because of the clain and they never put out one penny
Anyone notice the insane amount of money liberty mutual Geico state farm an All state spends on tv commercials. Absolute no way they gonna give you a low quote. How could they afford to advertise that much if they did. I never would consider these insurance co....
Dude
You need to do a holistic detox with zeolite asap
Nice. Good eye
Our house insurance told us we had to do a new roof all new siding and until we did they would only cover us for fire. I thought we at least until we're done the insurance will be cheaper. Well no, they raised the rate and aren't covering a tenth as much as they were. We're a farm and they dropped all the outbuildings too. So what is going on with these companies?
What state are you in?

They’re a good company. Prices with most companies will be higher than expected
I was involved in two minor accidents and was not at fault in either one. Both times state farms reps called my home and upon identifying me said "we are not going to pay for this" both times. In one instance they wanted me to pay the tow bill, and have the wrecker bring the vehicle to my house for storage. And then tried to say the accident was 20% my fault. On the second occurrence basically the same thing with the exception of paying to repair the broken automatic seat adjusting motor gear box that was broken when I went flying back into the seat after being rammed from behind. In both cases I sued and got considerable sums for settlements. The truth is I would have settled much cheaper if they had tried not to cheat me. Now, the lawyer gets the call no matter what, to hell with these legalized crooks.
Do you know anything about Penn National?
I know more of them than I do about them. If I recall they have a more than normal negative reviews across many review sites.
So literally every company?? What company do you recommend?!?!
what is progressive direct? is that where you select and buy your policy online only?
Yes. If you buy from an agent it will say Progressive and then the agency vs if you buy it online it will say Progressive Direct on your policy.
@@ThinkInsurance Ok, i went on progressive online site and purchased all my policies for my vehicles and home policy. Yes you have to make sure you get all the coverage you want. However i saved a lot of money compared to going thru a agent.
@skydancerforever There’s nothing wrong going that route. If you’re confident in the coverage and it’s a fit, get it 😀
Wow State Farm that I’ve had for years will not remove my husband from insurance because he had a stroke and cannot drive any more ….it’s just me …. What how is that even possible for them not to remove him I need help please respond
You should be able to remove your husband as long as he has given up his drivers license.
Yes, if he has surrendered his license then they should be able to remove him from being rated.
Thank you does that mean his drivers license is expired or is there a form to submit to DMV?
Get him a state ID & just tell your agent he got a state ID & no longer has the license.
Not sure what state you’re in but your DMV should be able to guide you through their process
I think it’s strange that you aren’t recommending Allstate because I did fill out your form on your website and the first company to call me was Allstate. I expected you or someone from your team to call me to help me, I haven’t heard from you yet!
Allstate is a bad company. It all depends on the state, the agent and persons situation. I assume you’re in AZ. Give it about a month and my agency will be licensed in AZ 😀, otherwise, if you’re in a diff state we’re not licensed in, I forward you to the next closest option.

Everyone at Farmers should be in jail !
State Farm will cancel your insurance and give you one week to get a roof done or they will drop you. Awful homeowner insurance. They pressure you and then tell you one roofer to go to where they can do your roof in two days. Can you say kick backs from the roofer???
Would you say that Travelers in Massachusetts does a decent job?
Actually, there specifically, they are one of the top rated in Massachusetts
@@ThinkInsurance oh wow that's good to know. My insurance is a little pricy so I was kinda of sketchy about them. But thanks for letting me know. Gives me a piece of mind
Geico is a real nightmare to adjust a claim. Who has before and after pictures of everything in your front yard. Who is going to waste time settling a claim for materials only, if you send them the receipts. Good luck getting to the claim form.
We have Country Insurance, seems ok, thoughts?
I can’t say I’ve heard of Country Insurance 🤷🏽♂️
Kemper is the worst ever renewal it goes up . I started at $101 a month now I’m paying $180 month for the bare minimum
Kemper took my car and after my accident and I’m still paying on it they never answe I was rear ended
So many of the companies that you mention don’t even provide service to people living or driving in California
Move somewhere else.

That's a great solution, let's all move to Montana!
@glynnjohnson3531 I would if I lived in California because there ain't nothing but a bunch of thieves out there. The reason insurance is so high out there is because those thieves are robbing the stores blind and that's a main reason why they're moving out California to other states. So maybe Montana would be better for you. Definitely cleaner air. Although it's colder there. But definitely more prettier than California and less thieves.
@@ScottRock-mr6qk I traveled there for a company I used to work for. I can honestly say it was the most expensive, dirty, shithole I ever saw.
@stealthbomber2127 See. I'm a Texas guy, and as a kid, I always wanted to go to California, but as I got older. Yeah, that changed, and I don't have any desires to make my way out that way. Because all you ever hear about is crime, poverty, and earthquakes. Instead, I made my way straight up and went to Colorado, Nebraska, and all the way to Canada. Which back in the 70s, Canada was actually beautiful. Colorado was nice, too. But it was too expensive. Back in 88' me and my ex-wife went to Colorado and at that time I was a Grocery Manager at Kroger and when we went we stopped in at an affiliate of Kroger and I asked what top pay was and it was 5.00 more than what I made because it was so much more expensive up there.
Allstate is absolutely the worst insurance company ever. They will never pay a claim, but they sure will take your premiums,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Unless the law makes you buy insurance, just don't buy any insurance. Put those premiums in a bank and then pay your own claims,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Did u mention state farm ?
Yes he said they are not good
When it comes to shady adjusters and crappy overall customer service, The Hartford ranks number one.
I wish we didn't have car insurance think of the money we would save but if your car gets damaged it costs a lot to fix it.
What about progressive (not direct)?
Progressive is good if you aren’t hiding anything and you know what coverage you need. They’re not as lenient if you don’t disclose drivers etc… but a good company if done correctly
Allstate sure screwed the people in Florida a number of years ago on their Homeowners policies. They left them holding the bag and didn't honor their claims.
I hate farmers insurance. They priced me out and now I have legal issues because of it. I hope they don’t survive as a company. They’ve even sold off life insurance policies.
Where I have to pay for six months upfront and then still getting charged on a monthly bases- is what I meant by being priced out. Mind you never had a car accident or any major claims, but I should be able to use roadside services that I pay for or windshield replacement.
