    I have been with Esurance for 3.5 years paying on time, No accidents and no claims. They still increased my premium exponentially without any reason. They do not care about existing customers at all. Thank god I didn't had any claims. They might have not done anything for me at that time as well.

    I never had a problem with Esurance, probably because I never had a claim. But when I found much better coverage for over $25/month less, and went to cancel my policy, they charged me a $50 cancelation fee! (After 2 years of being a customer.)

    I purchased an auto policy online from ESURANCE. In the coverage options it lists CarMatch Rental Coverage. In the details under the heading “Why do I need it?” It states: “This coverage is particularly helpful for anyone who relies on having a particular size of vehicle (like a pickup truck or a minivan) for their daily routines. So if, say, you have a family of five and two dogs, CarMatch Rental Coverage will make sure you don't end up having to squeeze the whole family into a compact rental car if your everyday vehicle is stolen or in the shop after an accident.” Since I don’t drive a pickup truck or a minivan, I assumed this was not a coverage that I needed.

    After a deer did extensive damage to my car, I was informed that I do not have rental reimbursement and that I would have had to opt for CarMatch Rental Coverage to have that. CarMatch Rental Coverage is NOT an upgrade from standard rental coverage. If you don’t choose this option you will not get a rental vehicle while yours is being repaired.

    Cancelled insurance policy back in January 2021. High monthly premiums. Switched to another more affordable insurance provider with better services. Meanwhile, Esurance kept deducting monthly payments from my account. Nine months later I receive an email from Esurance stating that I am still an active customer on their account. In shock, I immediately cancelled my policy and expected to get a refund for the past 9 months. Esurance refused to reimburse me due to backlogged information provided by the company. What Esurance did was pure robbery!

    I was hit by someone who said they were insured with them. I set up an appointment for the repairs. I needed to get a rental for the the time I would not have a car. I called Deon ** and left FIVE messages over two weeks. No response. I eventually got through their maze of options on the phone. You get the feeling it is intentional so that you don’t get a hold of anyone. Ultimately I got ahold of someone who told me that the individual in question had allowed his insurance to lapse during that time so my claim was being denied. I was told I would get an email saying that. That was 24 hours ago. Still no email stating that. If I ever decided to switch my insurance, then I would not go with them. How long does it take to send an email? Is Deon that overworked? If so, then hire some more people.

    A driver with Esurance coverage hit my daughter's car. The other driver was at fault per the police report. Months later they still haven't paid the claim. We called the representative in Phoenix and the phone line was not operating. We called the general number for the Phoenix office and they could not help us. Because they could not connect us to the specific claims representative. It's not a large claim and they are not paying in a timely manner. I should not have to wait like this.

    I have been with the Esurance for approximately 8 years - which means I have paid a lot of money into this company. I have full coverage on my newer vehicle and my daughter has liability on hers because her car is old with a very low value; so full coverage is not needed. My daughter's car was hit in a store parking lot last month by another vehicle. We immediately filed a claim with Esurance. Even with video proof showing that the other driver was 100% responsible for the accident, Esurance will not help us go after the other driver's insurance company. This is because my daughter's vehicle only has liability (we were finally told).

    What is the sense in paying for car insurance at all? Clearly we are only paying for her liability insurance to satisfy our state law of needing to have it. I have been hit two different times in the past (I wasn't at fault either times), when we were still using Progressive (one of those times I only had liability myself) and Progressive got my car fixed immediately and even offered checks as an alternative; I was able to choose. I realize that Esurance is a humongous company where business is business and it's all about money, but I still feel like a fool and let down for paying so much money into this company for them to not have my back.

    The other issue was that I was assigned a claims representative who ended up going on vacation and didn't pass on my claim. Then the second person that had my claim went on vacation and also left my claim with no one to pick it up where she left off. When you try to get a hold of anyone working on your claim, they do not answer the phone and only have an outgoing message, of which you are not able to leave a message on. In more words or less, you can't get a hold of a real person to discuss your claim.

    I had been waiting a very long time and very patient in finding out what kind of help Esurance was going to offer us (as paying customers) only to find out that they will be doing nothing because my daughter doesn't have full coverage. The video proof was very difficult to obtain and I was led to believe (by Esurance) that it would be a great help, also only to find out (much later) that Esurance will not help. In fact, I think that they had me go on that quest to obtain the video just to kill time for them not tending to my claim.

    -I waited for nearly a month, with a car that cannot be used until it's fixed because it's unsafe.
    -I was tossed around by multiple claims representatives.
    -I was unable to get a hold of an actual person (until I had to play detective and go on a mission to find someone to talk to).
    -I was talked into (by the supervisor of the insurance claims department - who in itself was a part-time job trying to track down) to do some footwork such as getting the video and etc (essentially do their job).

    -I was led to believe that everything would work out in our favor because the other driver was 100% at fault.

    Now we have to go to court with our video because somebody has to be held responsible for the damages to my daughter's car. Esurance did not do their job and we paying customers are not getting provided with the service that we believe we are paying for. I'm going back to Progressive. My sincere advice: Reconsider doing business with Esurance.

    I used to always talk so very highly of Esurance when discussing car insurance with family and friends. I have even convinced a couple of people to switch to Esurance in the past, sadly. I haven't had ANY problems with Esurance... until I needed them the most, so I know that they can be very deceiving until then. Other insurance companies, like Progressive, can be a little bit more pricier than Esurance but, from my experience now, it's worth it to pay more because at least you know that in the end, those pricier insurance companies have your back. And that's what we're going to do. Go back to Progressive. *Please note that my daughter and myself have never caused a car accident since we've been with Esurance (ever actually, in our driving history).

    By far the WORST customer service I have ever had. I tried using their "Insta chat" while I was on hold. I received a response that the claims representative would reach out to me in one business day, when I asked for a supervisor I was told to continue to hold on the current phone call. When a person is on site at a rental location, one business day is not an acceptable response. When requesting a supervisor, being told to continue to wait on hold is also not acceptable. I am not exaggerating when I say I was there nearly 3 hours trying to get a hold of somebody from Esurance in order to rectify an issue that should have been taken care of along with the damage claims.

    The only individual that I was able to actually speak to was a customer service agent from the sales side of the company. Understandably she was unable to actually assist me, but she provided me a number to the ‘rapid’ response team and transferred me to that number. No one ever picked up. I’ve worked in customer service most of my professional career, it takes a great deal for me to be this upset. My interactions with Esurance today is the very definition of lack of professionalism and customer service. Ultimately I had to pay out of pocket and hope that they reimburse me. Note: at the time of this review I have still not been able to get a hold of anyone to speak to regarding this claim.

    In Florida I have a leased auto and an older vehicle. My daughter and her used vehicle are on the policy. I had a fender bender (my fault) and my insurance went up. I had shopped a lot for this lower rate and with the increase I shopped again. The claim was handled quickly and professionally. The new higher rate is still lower than Geico, AAA, State Farm and Allstate (the parent company) and USAA. I would recommend shopping for price but I am very happy with Esurance. Make sure you compare apples to apples. Some companies might give you lower coverage for their lower price.

    Esurance is a horrible insurance company. I have an open claim from August 2020 that still has not been resolved, their gap insurance only covers 25% which was not disclosed to me during my purchase. Apparently my original claims adjuster no longer works for the company however I was never assigned a new one and was not aware that she left the company until December 2020. No one ever reached out to me, my vehicle was falsely declared a total loss because they are too cheap to get it repaired.

    I was told in October 2020 I constantly reached out to them and was told numerous times that I would receive a call back in 1 business day. It took them today 1/25/2021 to actually get in contact with me. I am still without a vehicle 'til this day, I have racked up thousands of dollars of rental car bills. They were not helpful at all, no one ever answers the phone or has an answer for anything. I will never do business with them again, I do not recommend them to anyone.

    I love our Esurance car insurance! My husband and I had Allstate for many, many years. The premiums kept going up and up every 6 month renewal even though we never made an insurance claim. So, I shopped around and found Esurance. Thank goodness I did! I got to customize our policy to meet our needs and I saved so much money. Policy premium is Half of what we used to pay! Paying online is easy, and if you pay 7 days before due date, you even save the $3.00 installment fee. We haven't had to make a claim yet, so I don't know about their handling of claims as of yet.

    By far the worst service from any insurance company I have ever had. Screwed me out of my car by totaling out my car which was still drivable after being in an accident and taking my $1,500 deductible that supposed to go towards damages and repairs subtracted from the total value of my car (almost 5,800) in order to not fix my car. The cost of damages was 4,500. Ended up being a difference of $200 all because they deducted $1,500 that supposed to go towards damages and repairs from the value of my car which after subtracting the 1500 is now 4300 value.. then they took forever to let me know how much it cost is going to be and then they tried to say I didn't return the rental car which is crazy because I ended up paying for my own rental after returning the rental car.

    They even sent me the receipt confirming that they paid for the rental.. They left me in the hole with $7,500 still owed to my lienholder.. just got off the phone with one of the supervisors because they're trying to charge me for services that I don't even have with them anymore. I already paid them up in full and it happened at the end of my lease so I didn't have to renew my lease. They automatically renewed it for me and tried to charge me for it after they send me a cancellation notice to let me know that my policy was being canceled because I allowed it to end at the end of my policy terms and I didn't renew it... Don't trust Esurance... especially the claims department. They are nothing but Crooks but the regular employees they are nice. The claims department and the supervisors are all Crooks...

    I had been a customer with Esurance both home and auto for 3+ years and had no claims be it either Auto or Home. We live in Mount Juliet, TN and this March 2020 we were unfortunately hit by the tornado that ripped through Nashville, TN all the way to Lebanon, TN. During this our home was also impacted with roof shingles damage at multiple areas on the roof. I had called in Esurance for a review; they came did review (in my opinion was quick and fast; I had to request the person to put a tarp which he was saying that he would not do normally - which again I felt weird; then I asked him to call the adjuster and then he agreed to do it).

    The adjuster came back and said looking at the damages, the roof can be repaired, does not require a full replacement; further they gave an estimate of an amount less than my deductible. I agreed to this and took it to a roofer and this person came and verified and said the damage on your roof requires full replacement of shingles and not a repair. I took three other roofer's opinion and all had the same comment of full replacement and not repair.

    I was in constant discussion after these with the esurance adjuster and also the manager, further there was another storm in May and this ripped away few more shingles from my roof. So the roofer whom I was working to get my roof fixed, started working with the esurance folks. In a call after the May storm, the adjuster happened to make a statement to roofer that this person is not going to get his roof replaced even before she had her person to come in and review the effect after the May storm. Which was totally biased and with no customer empathy. Additional fact is that there were other neighbors around me, some of them who had comparatively fewer damages than my roof. 3 of them had the roof replaced while this back and forth was happening with esurance.

    Having all said and done, esurance stood their ground and did not pay a cent towards the damages on my roof. Given the COVID pandemic situation I did not have enough money to spend to replace the entire roof, as the quote for entire replacement was above $10K. Hence I got my roofer to repair the roof shingles (put new shingles to the places where the shingles got ripped off) and also fix some of the loose shingles. Given that I did not want any leak on my roof because of the ripped of shingles in multiple places and even on the ridge caps.

    I am not sure what would be the situation if another storm or tornado were to hit, the money I have spent around $2K would be a waste. I have moved on from esurance (both auto and home to a new insurance company, I did not see any effort or empathy from them to seek and or understand any concern of a customer who has been long standing with them.

    I feel bad that they are now a subsidiary of AllState, I have heard AllState has been fairly good. I am sure there reputation is set for a toss. NEVER EVER BUY AN INSURANCE OR ANY PRODUCTS FROM ESURANCE, STAY AWAY FROM SUCH MONEY MONGERS AND FOLKS WHO DO NOT HAVE ANY EMPATHY TO CUSTOMERS.

    I thought like other insurance companies that Esurance actually cared about their customers. I received 10% back because of Covid like everyone else. My 6 month renewal just approached and was notified that my premium would increase over 10.00 a month. What could I do but shake my head. I felt that I should have known that they will get their money back and then some. They could care less about you.

    I live less than a mile from work and walk most of the time. Esurance said that did not matter and no discount could be applied. I should probably add that I have never put in a claim with esurance. In fact the last claim I ever put in was 30 years ago with another company for a small fender bender. I should also add that I haven't even had esurance for a full year and they are already raising my rates during this time of crisis. Goodbye Esurance. I am in the process of switching over to Geico.

    My shared privacy fence was partially blown down by wind and I called Esurance to figure out what the outlook might be if I were to file a claim. I was adamant that I did not want a claim to be filed, just information. I ended up just paying out of pocket since the damage was too minimal to file a claim over but I ended finding out that I now had a zero dollar claim on my policy that counts against me as much as any other claim. I tried fighting this through LexisNexis and was unsuccessful. I tried calling them to discuss it and they wouldn't budge since a supervisor had already previously said "no" to removing this (that makes it un-reviewable further, in their practice).

    Buyer Beware... I contacted Esurance to receive a quote. I received the quote and asked the agent to contact me in 10 minutes to finalize the payment and to allow me some time to cancel my current policy. The agent contacted me within the time frame, however the price of the quote drastically increased ($$$) and they would not honor the quote I initially received. Although I had the verification email with the terms clearly stated, the company refused to honor it.

    Fraud. They will increase your mileage in the policy without letting you know and you end up paying more - then when you call it to their attention, they will not give you a credit at all. Do not use them.

    I’ve paid over $5000 within 2 years to Esurance. When my credit card got compromised, the autopay stopped. Esurance never called me and have sent me 2 emails which I later found in my spam box. They won’t mail you or call you. I got into an accident when the insurance lapsed for 3 days. I reinstated that very day when I found out. Turns out they say they can’t help me. So after paying them over $5000 for my home and cars, I now have to pay the other party a maximum fine and have to pay my own repairs. No heart, just out there to take your money.

    They said they don’t do mailings or text cuz everything is done via email. And the call that they made was a robo call which didn’t even leave a message. My voicemail says to leave a message otherwise I cannot get back to you because of the daily spam that comes in everyday. Stay away from esurance!! The claims person wouldn’t even call me back after leaving her several messages asking her for a copy of my policy and help so I can get some info to my lawyer.

    I had enrolled for the Esurance auto insurance policy some time back. Had a surprise increase in insurance amount and this conversation had been going on for the mileage discrepancy on the vehicles. However as I was not satisfied with the increase in the amount/price, decided to cancel the policy. The person who was speaking to me was so particular about charging me another $50 for policy cancellation.... How can these people have such rude policy? Two surprises in quick succession.... I can keep pointing to so many things at their end.... Fortunate to end the relationship before a bigger surprise from them in the future....

    I called many times. They keep ignoring my calls. They failed to look at the evidence. They did not respond customers in a timely fashion. They made their conclusion based on false statements. I had extremely bad experience with them.

    Not sure why there's so many 1 star reviews recently, but for me as a long time Mercury Insurance client, it was a NO BRAINER to go with ESURANCE and save myself $200. I called AAA, State Farm, Liberty Mututal, Farmers, Safeco, and could NOT SAVE me as much money as ESURANCE did. AAA came pretty close, but I will revisit that another day. If ESURANCE is just all smoke and mirrors, I will post another review in the future detailing that. My renewal just came up and my policy renewal only went up $1. So FAR, so GOOD.

    I reached out to customer support needing help, but was responded to by what was either a computer or someone that lacked any empathy or kindness. I will be going with a different insurance company and suggest others do the same. They do not care about their customers, they only care about $$$. The epitome of what is wrong with our country.

    I had Esurance for over a year and things started out fine. My rate was low and I had no complaints. Then it began... The first thing that happened was the "Drivesense" or "Drivenonsense" app stopped recording my trips for a couple months. I called to resolve it and they sent me down the black hole of phone calls and transfers to departments. Ok fine. I can live with that. Then an accident took place where someone hit MY CAR and the blame was put on me. NOBODY WOULD LISTEN to my side of what happened and next thing you know my rates go up exponentially. I even went as far as discussing things with an "adjuster" about the accident and they wouldn't even hear it.

    Makes me so angry how they require auto insurance in WA state and yet people who are low income like me have to pay half of their damn paycheck for sub-standard auto insurance. Needless to say I dropped their ** and they could care less. They love to send you "Cancellation notices" if they don't get their precious money and will cancel your policy for any damn reason they feel like. They aren't going to take my money anymore.

    I went online to purchase insurance for my car, and was able to do it online for $315 for 6 months. Then after I paid everything in full by a binding agreement and after I receive the insurance certificate I am getting constant harassing emails from Serena ** that need to pay them $100 more after they "audit" my policy. After that I told them that if they made a mistake, I am fine if they cancel the purchase and refund my money. Their - response? "No refund, just pay us $100 more." This is nothing but a switch and bait and fraud.

    I request complete refund and that nobody ever from this company contacts me in the future. I don't do business with defrauders and tricky companies especially when there are thousands of companies online offering similar service with very reasonable pricing. They quote you one price to steal you from competition since know that you will be getting other quotes online, then after you purchase, they want to "add up" on that price otherwise if you cancel, they will extort a cancellation fee. SOBes.
