PolicyGenius provided good pricing and easy to follow steps, with prompts when I was slacking off. They made every step of the process as easy as possible. I was never left wondering what would happen next or when it would happen. Great communication!

I needed to set up a life insurance policy and it was quite easy and painless, thanks to PolicyGenius. It did take about 6-8 weeks to complete but that is normal for life insurance procedures. I’d recommend using them for your insurance needs.

I needed life insurance and turned to PolicyGenius. I applied with a company that ended up denying me after providing all of the information they requested. I was bummed out that I'd have to start the process all over again, but I didn't have to! The folks at PolicyGenius found me another company, and I ended up getting my life insurance through them. Throughout the entire time, they proactively kept me in the loop. Every step of the way, they were there. I can't recommend them enough. I will use them again in the future.
Tanisha, we are so happy to have been able to find coverage for you and that it was a great experience! Thank you for the review. - Theresa S.

This was such an easy process. They had a quick questionnaire when I first inquired. It gave immediate prices so I could see what was being offered and if it was a good fit for me. Someone followed up shortly after. I’m a business owner, wife and mom - so I’m very busy and it seemed like everything was quick and easy to manage. Great prices and everyone was incredibly friendly to work with. I highly recommend working with policy genius no matter what your needs are - they found a great fit for my husband and I, our situation, family and future planning.
We appreciate the review, Rachel! Policygenius strives to make insurance buying easy & transparent. - Theresa S.

Quick, painless, and easy to work with. Oh, and it saved me a ton of money on existing policies. A few forms online, a quick phone call, and we had policies ready to sign in a couple of days. They also were accommodating on minor tweaks or hypothetical scenarios. I'm confident that they will help me shop around regularly to keep competitive rates, coverage, and so forth. It helped us cut costs and expand our coverage to make sure we have just what we need.

Policygenius takes forever. I submitted my application on 11/1/18. I was not "active" till almost 60 days later! During the application process they would send me questions. Say it was Monday. I would reply that day. They would reply back, "We'll reply "next week""... Happened a few times. How frustrating. When promised I would receive a "gift card" to Amazon I never received it. Contacted them a few times but they don't seem to care. Probably cause they already have my business.
We are a small but growing company and critical feedback like yours is necessary for us to improve. While no one likes to get called out on in a public forum, it does demonstrate how poor the experience was for you, in particular with regard to how the matter of your gift card was handled. We are apologetic for this oversight.
You brought this matter to our attention on June 26th and we promptly sent your gift card on June 27th. One of our managers personally handled this matter and notified you that it was resolved on July 1st.
With regards to the timeline of your policy, it generally take up to six weeks for policies to be approved, and I see yours was approved in five weeks. We will be reviewing our procedures to see if improvements need to be made to that timeline. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and I’m pleased we were able to resolve this for you.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if there are any follow-up questions or concerns. Thank you again for the feedback and your business.
Sincerely,Theresa Silvestro

I have been pursuing a life insurance policy through PolicyGenius for over three months now. My guess is that a review checker will respond very promptly to this message, but that is the only time I have ever received a prompt response. When I signed up for the initial phone call with a specific time, they never kept their appointments. I am an ideal life insurance candidate — 31 years old, want a short term and am fairly healthy. This should have been an open/shut case. However, the PolicyGenius reps have consistently said they are working on getting my records and then blame me when they fail to follow up with doctors.
This experience has been far from easy and I am now looking for other providers. What an unfortunate waste of time — all PolicyGenius had to do was stick to their promises and they can’t even do that. It’s a bit chilling to think that if their reps can’t stick to their own promises, what will happen in the unfortunate event that the policy becomes due... I don’t know if I would be able to count on their promises then either.
Good evening, Rockford,
Thank you for your feedback. I want to sincerely apologize for the experience that you've had throughout the process with us.
I completely understand your frustration. Our agents should have called you at the times that you had specified. We will ensure that further training is provided to address this gap. I also want to apologize if we made you feel that you were at fault while the carrier requested medical records. We wanted to maintain transparency throughout the application process. It was never our intention to place blame on you or any parties.
Thank you for providing this feedback and additional information required to help move the process along.
Our mission is to find our clients the best policy for their needs. We will continue to work on your application on our end. I apologize for the inconvenience that we've caused and am open to further discussion. Please feel free to reach out to me so we can further learn from our mistakes.
Best regards,Agnes L.

We had been dragging our heels applying for life insurance because the process can be complex and require a lot of paperwork. PolicyGenius made comparing policies easy and did not restrict our options to just a few. They will try to upsell, but they are not pushy about it.

PolicyGenius made it easy for me to shop for a low rate. It's like using Kayak for travel plans -- one stop to look for the right provider. The UI is really well done, with simplicity in mind (but with supplemental articles available for when I wanted more information). I didn't have to deal directly with the insurance company at all. After I applied online, PG called me to complete the application. After the physical exam, they kept me posted via email as to the status of my application, and when everything was ready to go, I digitally signed my document. I even got the rate I was initially quoted!

I work in the life insurance industry and I decided to work with PolicyGenius because of the simplicity of their process.

They gave me no information about where my insurance application was in the process. They texted my phone even though I asked them not to. I also had to contact the insurance company multiple times on my own because PolicyGenius did not know what was going on. I think they made it more difficult because sometimes I would get conflicting information. Do not use them. Judging by the other positive reviews I can only assume they have gone downhill. Bad customer service. Bad experience.

The website was easy to navigate and got my quotes super fast.

I requested the policy be assigned to my SBA lender on the application. Policy Genius implemented the policy without ensuring this was done. When I approached Policy Genius they told me to work directly with insurance company. This has resulted in a significant delay in the policy being assigned and the closing date of the business loan potentially being delayed. Two stars for price but subtract three stars for not making sure the policy was assigned.
Our operations manager will be reaching out to you to ensure we're facilitating the next steps where possible. Thanks again and have a good day!
