The Personal Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Worst experience ever with having a claim, my adjuster spent more time out of the office, never returned phone calls, didn’t follow up! And because of this I have a storage balance of over 5000, did the BBB and looking into a lawsuit! Asked for supervisor/ manager to call me back and nothing! But you bet they take my payments out each and every month! The Personal is a scam! And I have started to look for new insurance!

I recently went through a claim experience with The Personal. It was terrible -- frustrating, disappointing, aggravating, time-consuming. None of the claims adjustors could answer my questions, such as who was at fault (I know I wasn't at fault, but TP got it wrong, like everything else they do) and how long I would be covered for a rental car. (I had to get this info from the car rental agency. The Personal only covers $500 for a rental, no matter how long it will take to fix your car, which in my case was a little over a month. TP also doesn't cover collision coverage on a rental car -- the customer has to pay for that.) Not once in four weeks was I able to reach my assigned adjustor by phone -- I kept getting her answering machine. None of my calls were returned. Customer service is non-existent with this company. Even three weeks after the accident (I was hit head-on by a woman who cut a corner) no one at TP had gotten in contact with the other driver's insurance company!

The Personal doesn't let you choose which body shop to use to repair your car. They choose, and they choose the cheapest shop available. (The body shop kept my car outdoors for a month in winter. They didn't even clean off the two feet of snow that collected on it; I had to do that myself.)

I must admit I chose TP auto insurance because it gave me the lowest price quote. Well, this is one of those instances where you get what you pay for. I have since cancelled my policy with them and went with a more reputable company. Any money I did save up front with TP all went out the window as a result of paying for a rental car for three weeks and a large deductible. Judging by the number of negative reviews, atrocious customer service is the norm rather than the exception with this company.

Its been over two weeks my car got hit, no URGENCY for them to figure it out. Unable to reach claim agents. Switching companies asap.

I had a car accident over a month ago with over $5000 worth of damage. Right after my case was started the adjuster went on holidays. I tried phoning several times and the adjuster never returned any of my calls. Then about a month after the case started I had called several times to find out through one call that on the adjusters voicemail that they were going to be gone for an undetermined amount of time. I had to call back to ask for another adjuster to take on my case cuz they failed to take that action. After speaking to the new adjuster on my case I found out that the previous adjuster hadn't taken any documentation of the information I had provided and now I have to do the process all over again. And will probably be waiting months before my car will be fixed. I have stressed to them that driving my car is unsafe and not practical as I need to use the passenger door to get into my vehicle. But that doesn't seem to be an issue with them as they are still taking their sweet time to solve this problem. I wouldn't recommend getting insurance with them to anyone.

The personal is very stingy on providing/covering accident benefits even when you are not at fault or not charged in the accident. It has taken more than 8 months to pay out some of their accident benefit obligations. They are very slow to return phone calls and their adjusters avoid your questions or phone calls. They are terrible to deal with. Run to your next insurer.

I spoke to a customer service manager named Charlie, he could not tell me the exact reason why my policy increase by 444.00, even the numbers he provided did not make any sense. He said, "no one can give you an exact explanation..", there are so many factors that go into deciding a policy. No staff member could tell me or make sense of why my policy increased!

It is frustrating that I have to go somewhere else to get an affordable and a good policy, there is no loyalty. I had to reduce my policy coverage to keep my premiums affordable. Do no deal with this company, or any company that refuses to give you a break down of your policy and the differences in premiums year over year.

Stay away!! These people will put you in your grave before they process your claim. The way they handle things is very stressful and nerve wrecking . We are going through hell and back. They won't return our calls. And when we get a hold of them after numerous messages, they dont give us any information. its come to the point where we have no choice but take legal action.!
