Economical Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

The worst insurance company that I’ve ever worked with. They are just raising prices and don’t care about customers. I’m waiting for a response on my claim already 3 months. I provided all the information that’s been asked. I found it myself even though it was in their system. I visited the police department 3 times to get it, and nothing happened. It is terrible. Would never recommend this company.

They are sooo much careless and don’t know what going on at their desk as well. They are handling the claim but didn’t know how to proceed it in a proper way

Hail damage 7/2, claim with Sonnet. Few calls later: body shop appt on 08/09 (ugh 5 weeks). 8/5, $1100+ into a new ECM and battery. Sept: weekly emails/ calls to "adjuster" go ignored. Send email to all stating FIFTH REQUEST as subject; windshield damage expanded, not safe, tires required for winter if keeping. "Adjuster" emails saying not her file, contact ** (no contact info). More emails. 10/05 told no damage report yet; call body shop. Days later, adj says "total loss". Ask about retention as cosmetic. A week later sent what they call comparable sales 100s of km away (higher mileage, months ago, the market is tight used now). Send 4 current, local ads; told their valuation is "independent"/non-negotiable. More emails; finally get a settlement offer letter on October 13. Sent registration & signed document back same day. Not in agreement; accepted to move on. October 26; email sent asking if they need anything else from me. Waiting

The company use dealing tactics to make you accept what they offer you I dealt with one of their adjuster who does not know about the insurance act diagram of determining fault.
She is assigned to my case 1697600 never call to discuss the claim I could not believe this.

Our experience was horrible. We have been a customer for around 10 years. The first time we needed to make a claim was when our truck was stolen and a total loss. We provided Economical all the information the requested and even went as far as providing them local prices on replacing the vehicle, same year, same make, same model. Economical provided their Market Driven Validation Report in which they didn't even compare the same vehicle we lost. The price they appraised the vehicle was 1/2 the price of what it would actually cost to replace it. Even our broker got involved as they also couldn't believe how the claim was being handled.
Economical may have saved a few thousands of dollars on the claim, but they have lost 10s of thousands of dollars with our future business. Congratulations Economical on your shortsightedness.

They don't answer customers. You can be on phone for a whole hour wanting to reach them. I had a rental by them and they called me, I mean one representative of Economical Insurance called to change the return date for my vehicle rental. I went by her words and it looks like she together with the rental company are trying to rip me of 170 bucks. All efforts to reach her by phone and email are fruitless. I can't get back my money I deposited for the rental either.

It has been 3 1/2 weeks since I submitted my claim for my vehicle.
The reputable auto repair shop (over 50 years of quality service in our city) requested an independent appraiser to come and see the vehicle.
We are still waiting for an adjuster.
Nothing has been done to repair our vehicle as of yet.
NO claim should take this long to resolve.
It's funny that the insurance company takes their premiums without hesitation, but it takes forever for them to follow through with their end of the policy.
Stay tuned.....

I was a victim of fraudulent insurance by a broker named (Daniel C) a name that might be very familiar since he was all over the news in selling fake insurance. He sold me insurance from Economical which I received my package from them, then a few months later I got my cancellation package for non-payment even though I did pay this guy in full for the whole year. Right after that I called Economical and I sent them a trackable email with attachments proves that this guy got the money from me it even included audio attachments and pictures, so after speaking to them many many times and keep promising that they will escalate to the higher authority or manager or the underwriter but none of that was done. As I mentioned that the trackable email tells me how many times they opened my email, in fact, they did open it 116 times and I told them that yet all that I get from them is just promises but nothing in reality.

Worst customer service experience.
Going to change my auto and home insurance!
I asked the customer service lady why my premium went up, she told me like I cannot explain to you, it consists thousands of factors....it does not make sense to me...
Wost experience

My broker advised me that if your circumstances change, and you no longer fit their "target market / demographic" they will do crazy things, like jacking your rates through the roof to encourage you to leave. Well, it worked! I tried to add a second vehicle to my policy and my payments went from 150/month to 750 per month. Without the second vehicle, I'm suddenly $322 per month. This is basically highway robbery, and I would only recommend this company to my worst enemy. Also, these guys are next to impossible to get a hold of. Emails will often go several weeks without a response until you hound them again!
