Economical Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Never speak to the same person twice. The amount of things that were written down in their notes and was not said to be was horrendous. This lack of communication ended up costing me almost another $1000 out of my own pocket. Don't trust what they say, fact-check everything. Also, realize that your insurance broker is probably paid through commission, so it makes sense for himself to maximize your claim. Take heed, these people are the scum of the earth.

Made 2 payments using a touchtone phone but received confirmation for 3 payments via text. So I called them to cancel the extra payment. I have yet to speak to someone. Over 2 hours on hold and still waiting. If I would have seen this site I would have not have renewed with them. I can only imagine the nightmare in dealing with a claim when you can not speak to someone.

Waited 55 minutes and gave up. Several tries - the same. Must only have one person on their call center. We made the mistake of paying in full on our credit card then cancelled before the policy took effect. Cannot get it reversed, instead, they will mail a check in 30 days. Got a 40% better rate from CAA for both home and auto. Even our broker said they were useless to communicate and deal with.

It's very difficult dealing with this company. Sure their premiums are lower than other insurance companies' but they cannot be trusted. They do not even respond to registered mail!!!~ If they cannot handle registered mail or payment information, I have serious doubts about them handling a claim on my behalf... I have an excellent driving record.

After my accident, I was told by two individuals that because I've been paying car rental insurance that if I chose not to take a rental card, I would be compensated a daily rate. I jumped through hoops to borrow a car so I could use the rental car payment to help cover the insane deductible. On my last call to them, I asked how I would receive payment and was told via cheque. It's now been 5 months, so I called to check-in and have now been told I won't be getting a cheque and that it's not even an offer. I don't appreciate being lied to or misled. I do not recommend using this organization for your insurance needs. Go elsewhere.

I wish I could rate 0 stars for how horrible this company is... I had one accident that I was not at fault for and getting my claim was a nightmare. Then the day I got my car back from the shop I got pulled over and received a ticket for no insurance because they gave me an insurance card with no policy number and didn't send me a new one until 2 weeks later. Then they blackballed me. After fighting and fighting, finally, they gave me a bit of a break and my insurance was over $300 (again a bit of a break) then this year, instead of my insurance going down, it went up... to almost $600! Which is ridiculous. I found a new company that charges less than I was paying in the first place, so I dropped Economical. Okay, now here's the kicker, they proceeded to take out the monthly payment after they were cancelled and then charged me a cancellation fee on top of it. Long story short, Economical stole almost $1000 from me and refused to refund me even a portion. This company is crooked. Highly do not recommend.

I was shocked after they screwed up my insurance cards three times, after transferring insurance from one vehicle to another. Then they charged me $587.62. Unreal

I was rear-ended and my car was written off after owning my car less than 3 months. Family (Economical) tried to lowball my claim even after spending countless hours and providing multiple sources of proof as to the value of my car. At the end, I was still woefully out a good chunk of my original purchase price. Upon my renewal of my comprehensive insurance (not that I was ever going to deal with these guys again) my broker informed me that Family would have been charging me approximately double (no, I'm not exaggerating) what I ended up paying from a provider I was referred to deal with. GOOD RIDDANCE !!

I only gave them one star because I can’t give them zero. This is by far the worst insurance company to ever deal with. They are all liars and do not return your calls, And their mechanics they recommend “fix auto” messed up my car. A week after me getting my car back I come to find out the engine light is on and had to put $700 in the car for the first time since I owned it. Secondly, they told me they switched the front tire. The first thing my mechanic said to me was my front tires were bald. Then I came to them about another part that didn’t match the other side of my car and he told me the left side is not supposed to match the right side. When I approached the insurance company about all this, they basically discredited everything I said and stood behind the lying mechanics and lying employees! Horrible customer service, horrible corporation, nowhere close to accommodating, misleading in every way! This company should be shut down for good! Disgusting how a corporation that’s designed to protect people could be run soooo poorly!!! P.S.: this is my 4th insurance company I am not new to auto insurance and this one by far takes the win !!!

I had insurance with this company when I wanted to cancel my insurance they charged me $500 for cancellation, their service not good.
