They absolutely don’t care about their customer, same as every other insurance company. They can sure send letters and emails within hours of missing a payment but heaven forbid they send a letter prior to give you a heads up of a payment change. Tried to take a double payment without telling me, obviously I don’t have that in my account without notice, they cancel my insurance, now I have a cancellation on record. How convenient that they then provide themselves as the lowest rate so you have no other option. I even immediately called after noticing the payment and offered to pay it THE NEXT DAY and they wouldn’t do anything or care to look. DONT BOTHER !!!! Look elsewhere.
Would give them a 0 star, but their claim process was surprisingly mediocre for how little they care. So, 2 star. You’re welcome.

At least the employee I was talking to didn't seem like they knew what they were doing nor offered to help. Constantly chasing down to get an email since they don't pickup. They messed up something in the process and whole process took half a year when it could've taken less than a month. Asked to speak with someone who knows their stuff, dodges it.
