I think that my issues are likely more related to my insurance broker than with Travelers directly. Travelers has always come through and paid when we have had incidents. We have all of our insurance bundled with Travelers.

I was in A car accident involving A red light runner who hit me A week ago. My car is still not in A shop and not drivable as I have no headlight on one side and turn signals do not work (additionally the driver assist sensors were damaged and do not work). And today I received A notice of cancellation in the mail. My vehicle is not repaired nor have I received A check to cover damages.
I had 2 cars and homeowners with them, never missed (or even late) on payments, never had A ticket, never had A claim, This accident was not my fault either, but they decide to cancel me.... What!? Absolutely the worst insurance company. Stay clear of them! [As A side note it appears that my states revised statutes are clear on how and why and insurance company can cancel A customer Travelers is in violation of this law - will be filing A complaint with the insurance board in the morning and consulting an attorney.]

On 6/1/20 their member struck me from behind and instead of paying me they (KERRY) absolutely positively suggested I go rack up more BILLS because apparently the claim was too low. Glad I'm not a member. I've NEVER heard of that.

Called for roadside assistance for flat tire at 11 am. The towing company was suppose to text or call with an ETA, waited almost and hour nothing. It was in the 80's in the sun in a parking lot. I called the only number I have for travelers. I had to start all over jump thru hoops to get to roadside again was told tow driver would be there in 20 minutes 45 minutes I called again. Oh goody the truck broke. I'm at Over 2 hours now in Walmart parking lot in Columbia MO. Now they will try another company another hour and someone MIGHT show up. I bought the insurance and yet my name isn't on the policy. Never an apology never any sense of urgency just wait for hours that's the best Travelers can do. I bought the policy and I am getting a new company. One that's not run by neanderthals and my name will be on the policy. I would suggest calling any roadside assistance especially Travelers every 10 minutes. Shameful.

Worst insurance company I ever had to deal with. Make a long story short, they were the insurance company of a company I filed a claim against. The company refunded my money and asked me to get estimates. I got 5! for the damages caused by their product. The claims rep. refused to pay the claim, even though the company admitted liability. I asked to speak to the claims rep's boss. He never even extended the courtesy of investigating and calling me back. Terrible customer service!

My Credit Score with Transunion is 765. After an online quote the site gave me an amount that is $200 more a year than who I have now, Geico. The reasoning for the amount was they did not place me in their best category based on my credit check. I am using my credit at 20%, no late payments. What is this?

1/30/2020 I hit a deer with my new truck. Travelers adjuster listed damages at $6200. He listed all of the labor under paint work. Body shop listed damages at $7200 as ASE mechanics labor is much higher. The total hours match, and they go by the same book, but Travelers says they will not pay the higher mechanics rate for the mechanics work and that I'll have to. They (Travelers) know there is a difference between painting and mechanics but they want to stick by their adjuster who either intentionally or unintentionally slipped in the wrong labor rate. Travelers knows it's wrong, but refuses to do anything about it. STAY AWAY from Travelers.

I was rear ended in November. My car, which is 14 months old, has been in the shop for almost 3 months now. The initial estimate from the body shop went to their insured’s vehicle because both cars were the same make and model, which slowed the initial process down by three weeks! They insist on using aftermarket parts rather than original manufacture parts even though it will not be covered by my vehicle’s warranty. They are refusing to pay for undamaged parts that needed to be removed and reinstalled in order to complete the repair.
The body shop has complained about the adjuster and his abusive nature on their property, so we have had to deal with his supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor. They had no problems paying for me to have a rental car for 2 1/2 months which I’m sure would have covered the cost discrepancy they are arguing with the body shop about. I am so glad this is not my insurance company, and would definitely tell people to steer clear of them! All I want is to have my car back in the same condition it was in before their insured rear ended me and have them pay for the repairs needed for this to happen.

My son was in a wreck in my car on 12/17/19. We found out the person that hit him did not have insurance. My car was towed over an hour away to a salvage yard. Nobody knows why. First, we did not know our policy didn't cover a rental. We had always had Alfa and Allstate Insurance that included rentals. On Jan. 3rd, we got a call saying an adjuster looked at it, and said it wasn't totalled but needs 14K in repairs. They were going to tow it back to where I live and let the dealership look at to see if it had frame damage.
Today, 1/10/2020, (3 1/2 weeks later) we get a call saying it is going to take 3 weeks to fix. This is totally unacceptable! 6 1/2 weeks without a car!!! I have always paid my insurance on time, I should have my car fixed in a timely manner. This is absolutely ridiculous! Side note - a friend of mine with different insurance had a wreck the day before mine and she has had her car back for a week now. So, they can say the delay was because of the holidays all they want, but other insurance companies still took care of their clients. Travelers does not care! They did say sorry and we can express our concerns in a survey that will be sent out after our claim is closed. WOW! That helps!!!

We traded in our leased vehicles for 2 new leases. The new leases have more safety features, so our auto premiums were lower for the 2 new vehicles. But our overall policy did not decrease as much as anticipated. Upon closer examination, the other vehicles on our policy were illegally increased mid-policy. There were no changes in how those vehicles are used or housed, so there’s no legal basis to increase the premiums on the other vehicles mid-policy. When I called to complain, Travelers told me to file a formal complaint against them.

Audits after audits in same year looking to find crumbs. I decided to upgrade my policy to cover myself on worker's compensation and they told me it would be 800.00 dollars for rest of year so I have already been audited twice in 2018. I get another letter in mail to say, "We need your info again." This time they tell me it's a voluntary audit. ya right. I volunteer all the time. Right after that they try to charge me for the full year and I was already covered. After this policy ends I will never use them again.

I have been with Travelers Insurance for over five years. My first claim in years was in November, 2019. The adjuster's name was FALLON **. Mrs. ** did not represent Travelers Insurance, with the exceptional service I am use to when I call. She was rude and very unprofessional, I am a senior and I expect to be treated in a manner that most people would want to be treated, with respect. I filed a auto claim, and the lies and unprofessional experienced I had with this adjuster was unacceptable. I have filed a complaint with the California Dept of Insurance. I hope this will help ** treat others fairly and with respect.

I will be telling everyone I can reach both in social media and beyond that Travelers is a company no one should deal with. We never ever make claims and we had travelers as our carrier. We had our camper break while on vacation out of state. It took almost 4 months and a few agents to get the thing repaired so we could bring it home. Then yesterday we get a letter saying they are raising our insurance to a $1,000 dollars and we are no longer covered! WOW. Awesome company (NOT).

I was involved in an accident. The other driver was at fault and has Travelers Insurance. The damage to my car affected the headlights, taillights, and blinkers. It took almost 2 weeks for an adjuster to come out and look at my car. In the meantime I had to drive my car without half of the lights and blinkers working. They would not give me a rental until I put my car in the shop. I was finally able to take the car to the shop to get the repairs done. I took it in on a Tuesday and the rep from Travelers made a reservation for me at the rental place. Turns out the rental company had no cars on the lot.
I called and left messages for the Travelers' rep for TWO DAYS! I finally got a call back that Friday and told her that I had been without a car all week and couldn't get a ride to work one of those days. I am pretty upset with this company. I ended up getting a rental at 5:00 pm that Friday. My car won't be ready for several more days. Travelers doesn't want to let me have a rental car for more than 5 days. This has been the most stressful situation and the accident wasn't even my fault.

Several months ago my son was hit by a driver with Travelers insurance. This entire process has been a nightmare! Other driver was found at fault and issued a citation for running his red light, multiple witness statements, and they still are trying to deny liability. I don’t believe Narvie, their claims rep, even attempted to research the accident other than asking their driver “did you do it?”. Our own insurance claims rep finally contacted her after multiple attempts by both he and I, Farmers provided Travelers the accident report, and still they refused to acknowledge liability.
To date, Farmers has provided the accident report, sworn witness and police statements, and proof of the paid citation which any reasonable person would agree is an acceptance of guilt. We finally had to settle with our insurance for the totaled vehicle so it could be replaced, but are still out our deductible, while the claim goes through arbitration. And the worst is that no one from Travelers ever reached out to my son to ask how he has been doing through all this. Honestly, this is a valuable life lesson in how your insurer may not have your back, leaving you vulnerable to the lawyers who are always more than happy to speak to anyone about a potential case. Too bad no stars wasn’t an option.

I would strongly discourage anyone from using Traveler's Insurance. We went with them and didn't have any issues until recently. We received a letter from our mortgage company stating we were under insured and it needed to be fixed immediately. I pulled our policy out and they had us insured for $70,000 less than we even owe on the house. When my husband called them they told him we have an extended policy and that we are covered, but yet they refuse to send this "extended policy" to our mortgage company.
Now on to our camper...brand new camper that has only been used once. We have had it for less than a year and it got hit with hail. They send a gal named Kelly out to do the estimate of damage and she tells us straight up, "I don't know what I am doing. I have never done a camper before." She then sends us an estimate of $5600. My husband takes it to a dealer and turns out we have $39,000 in damages and it is totaled. When Traveler's sends us what payout is, it has $21,000. They are trying to pay us out for a base model in which we don't have. We have an upgraded model. The dealership said our camper is worth $32,000.
When my husband sends them this estimate Camera (who is very rude to everyone she deals with, including the dealership in which the guy even hung up on her) states our policy only has the camper listed at $21k for coverage so that is all we are getting. Make sure you read everything they send you or you're taking the chance of losing everything if you ever expect them to pay out. It is our fault for not reading the policy they sent us on the camper, but at the same time...they are SHYSTERS!!!

This 18 wheeler hit me as there is two lanes, one to make a left turn legally and the other to go straight. The street divider white paint is visible as day (street warning signs everywhere) as the light turned green I was heading straight in the right lane, 18 wheeler sees me because first green light means go and left means left. So why does the 18 wheeler need to come into the right lane to make a left turn. As he did go right into my lane before turning he swiped my truck from the cab to the end of the bed. All his fault. Now I bumped my temple really hard against the window causing a headache that lasted a whole day.
Now the Travelers insurance had one lady to be my claim adjuster but two and a half weeks later it has been reassigned to another adjuster. Now that adjuster well both are unable to reach, not even responding via email nor my voice mails. Do not trust Travelers Auto Insurance, they will abandon you. I would not be here if I did not I not work hard for my vehicle.

I switched to Travelers from a well known auto insurance company after they kept raising my rates even though I had never had an accident. Shortly after the switch I was hit by an uninsured motorist and he did over $10,000 worth of damage to my 2013 Buick. It was about one and a half years old at the time. I called the number on my insurance card and they asked if my car was drivable. I said I thought so and they told me to take it home and they would pick it up there and provide me with a rental car at their expense. They had a flat bed truck pick my Buick up the next day and took it to the Buick dealer that I bought it from for repair. They paid for the complete repair and kept me informed of everything that was going on. I paid the deductible.
Awhile later they sent me a check and said that they had collected enough from the driver that was at fault to return my deductible. They were very helpful, courteous and professional at all times. Even called me after I got my car back to make sure I was satisfied with the repair. This is the only insurance company I will use and recommend them to everyone.

I was involved in an accident with Lyft in which Travelers insurance was handling the claim. They convinced me to not attain an attorney due to the driver being completely at fault then after months of contacting me regarding investigation of the accident, having me obtain documents for them which cause me to take days off from work and sending me through a lot of stress. They refuse to pay my hospital and doctor's bill or pay for any time I was off work. I ended up with a concussion from the accident. But the claims representative said there's no way I could have had an accident and that it was my fault. Always retain an attorney. And never listen to their representatives.

I highly discourage anyone from using Travelers Insurance. I am going through a very unique situation and the only reassurance I’ve received from the company is what they cannot do. On June 9, 2019 a building crane fell on my apartment complex displacing over 500 residents in Dallas, Texas. Today is July 29, 2019 and I’m still living out of a suitcase and do not have access to everything I own because they have condemned the building. The building also refuses to provide us any legitimate documentation to provide our insurance companies for further clarification.
With all that being said I continue to receive pressure from my insurance agent that I need to figure something out because they are not going to be able to assist me much longer. My insurance covers up to $9,000 in loss of use/displacement coverage to which I have only used a little over $2,000 of that therefore I am nowhere near exceeding my limit and I should not be being pressured when I’ve been a paying customer for years and I have nothing but the bag on my shoulder. I expected more from the company and am disappointed to know that when you really need them they fail and only cause more stress to an already messy and stressful situation. Please avoid Travelers Insurance to save yourself added stress and anxiety in time of need.

My daughter's car was broadsided by a driver insured with the Travelers. He was 100% at fault. Her car was heavily damaged on one side and was "totaled" by Travelers. It was a 1999 BMW convertible with every imaginable option, and their offer was $2,000. I found at least 5 cars, same year and model, for sale for between $4,000 and $6,000. After 50 e-mails and phone conversations, they upped the offer by $200. They then stated that is the final offer, and refused to budge or consider anything else. What a horrible experience; this company is a cheap, cheating, miserly, penny-pinching piece of crap.

Travelers Auto Insurance Company has got to be one of the world’s most incompetent, lamest and laziest insurance companies on the planet. One of Travelers business clients committed fraud and performed careless repairs on my vehicle. I provided Travelers with photos, videos, mechanic comments and repair estimates. Travelers then claimed that they have to see the vehicle's damages anyway. Obviously, Travelers likes to play the role of an ASE Certified Mechanic. They recommend that I not drive the vehicle but then refused to give me a rental car. Travelers then took 12 days to come out and look at my vehicle just to see and take photos of the same exact damages that I already gave them previously. Travelers took a total of 15 days just to advise that they are not going to cover any damages now. What a waste of time and money. Stay away!

I was using a valet parking at a hospital that was insured by Travelers. An employee working for the valet company turned too sharply and crushed the side of the truck bed. I got a quote from a body shop and sent the quote to the claims adjuster. The correct way to make this repair is to replace the complete side of the bed. The claims adjuster called the body shop and asked them to re-quote the repair by beating out the dents and skimming over with filler to smooth out the surface prior to painting. After talking with multiple body shops they all agree that the correct way to repair the damage is to replace the complete panel. It came from the factory with straight sides and I expect it to have straight sides when the repairs are complete. I personally don't think that this is a good company to have a policy with or have a claim against. All they care about is doing things on the cheap. I'll probably have to sue them if we can't reach an agreement.

Travelers is the most unprofessional insurance company of all time. I was rear ended by a Travelers client earlier this year. Most of the claim was handled adequately, then things went downhill. After the damages were fixed I filed a diminished value claim. It was promptly denied. When I asked to be elevated to a member of management, I was ignored - twice. I have the emails where I professionally asked to be elevated and the responses from Travelers which refused to recognize my request. When I filed an online complaint on the Travelers WWW site, it was also ignored.
At some point this company SHOULD have elevated my claim and at least entered into a dialog. I then filed a complaint with the NC Department of Insurance. The company did respond to them but basically said we aren't paying because we are not required to by NC statute. They NEVER offered proof as to why my claim was not valid. I suffered financial loss and they refused to even dialog about a settlement because legally they didn't have to. Legal obviously, but horribly UNETHICAL. If you are a victim of a Travelers client I hate it for you. Be ready for them to screw you over at every turn.
