Cooperators Auto Insurance Reviews

I already had insurance with them and i decided to switch my car. I called them and I got a quote on Tuesday without giving them the description of the vehicle just by giving them the VIN number which they can have the full access of the vehicle. I call them on Friday to email me the insurance paper and I'm not been able to pick up my vehicle without insurance they told me that they had a quote by the description of the car, not by VIN number which is absolutely ridiculous cause they already emailed me the full quote with the VIN number. When I told them I can give the VIN now and get a new quote they said that are are not allowed to give a quote with a VIN number and gave me a customer service number which they gave me some random wrong number. I can't wait to pay the cancelation fee and move to another insurance. The customer service is very poor.

I had a great experience getting my account set up everything was very easy and they took care of most of it.
Now making my first every claim and it is unbelievable how different the services is. By different I mean bad. The responses take days or weeks. I try over and over to get a hold of them they don't pick up there phone. I will even email stating when I will call and still can't get a hold of the correct person. They owe me money for storage and I have asked at least 5 times about that and every time literally answer all my other questions and ignore that. Now I am currently filing a complaint and even they haven't gotten back to me and it has been almost a week.
Horrible service if they owe you money would not suggest this company to anybody

So I had been with Cooperators for some time and was considered an A-list driver (no previous records etc) and also had my home policy with them. Before I begin, I should also note that I received a call from a sales person about 6 months prior to upsell me on 'extra' accident insurance. The premium was so negligible - like 11$/year or something silly that I went for it. The context of the insurance was in the case of an accident - I would be given extra time and rental insurance. I cannot remember the numbers but it was something to the effect of - typically I would have $500 to cover the cost of a rental, and this upsell would be somewhere in the vicinity of $1200-1500. Easy I thought. Here is where it gets interesting.... fast forward 6 months or so later, and my wife and kids are struck head on by a driver who was texting on a highway. Everyone was ok, but I immediately got a call from an agent reassuring me that I could get a rental immediately and she even noted that I had the 'extra' insurance...yay for me. So we get a van, and while I am awaiting the status of my damaged van - say about 3 days, I start to get phone calls. "Has the adjuster let you know the status of the van?" ....me - "nothing yet" this goes on for 3 more consecutive days, but all the while I think - no big deal... this car is costing $35/day and I am nowhere near that, as I am only a few days in. So, my Math tells me I am not even dipping much farther than $100 of the $1200-$1500 available. By the next week, I got a call again and I began to grow concerned, so I asked what the deal was. The response was that once my damaged van was considered written off I had 24 hours to return the rental, as the company sends a settlement cheque out that day. Wait - 24 HOURS? What? I don't even have a replacement van yet? How does that even make sense? Well, apparently it does to them. Many, many phone calls to supervisors etc. etc. and I finally get to someone who is only interested in telling me the policy...to which I debate that it is impossible for me to drive to work in a cheque that is in the mail. Long story short, I was 'given' a few extra days since there were not even any vehicles to pick from in my region (car lots were out of stock on minivans if you can believe that) I was incensed, and have since taken my home and auto policies elsewhere. Not that many of the others are much better - I just could not stand the way I was treated. Hope you find this useful when making a selection.
