Deserves no stars at all as you all can tell by the tons of reviews. They cancelled my policy bc of a second payment that was due for one month of insurance. & when I told the agent (she happened to be the agent who enrolled me in my policy) that it was never even explained when I purchased my policy, she said well I gave you your receipt. How about doing your job better & be more polite to your customers! point is, theyre scam artists & very unprofessional, I wouldve never switched from Geico if I knew they would screw me this bad. It is very much worth spending 40 or even

I wish I could give a zero star. They have been stealing from my mother in law - jacking her rates up every year without any notice to her. Then last month they were supposed to cancel her policy and never did so she had to come out of pocket for two insurance policies this month. AFTER she went into their physical location to cancel it. They are abusing the elderly! DO NOT GO HERE!!!!
