I recently changed my scooter insurance from a great company (Foremost) to SafeCo hoping to save a few bucks with the problems with the economy. This is a stake that i wish I had NEVER did. I had an accident on 10/12/2008. My scooter went to a very reputable shop to look it over, and I was advised the cost to repair would exceed the book value. I decided, well this is why I pay insurance for and placed a claim with SafeCo on 10/21/2008. I have made at least five calls a day to them and they very seldom return my calls, the adjuster is now out of the office for two weeks. My big problem is that when I wrecked the bike the odometer messed up, which is very clear in the picture that was faxed to the new adjuster. They are trying to give me less than $600 for a four month old bike. I have researched the book price and have came up with book value prices being from 1600 to 1800. They are trying to deduct over 800 for high mileage when it is clearly defective (mileage). I am at my wits end over this, I could only wish I had never changed companies to save a few dollars. BUYERS BEWARE...
I did not directly choose SafeCo as my Homeowners insurance. My previous one went out of business--so my agent took it upon himself to put me with SafeCo.
I shoud have him put in jail for doing me such INJUSTICE! I had never had to use
this Homeowners insurance until the unfortunate wake of Mother Nature called
Hurricane IKE. I was still Blessed an didn't have as much damage as some people
but I sustained enough that I NEEDED MY INSURANCE to come to my aide.
To sum it all up--I wouldn't recommend SafeCo to my worst enemy.
Got 500 bucks or more? better hang on to it!! you may need it if a safeco insured driver totals out your car & thats if your still breathing so you can go move it out of tow storage & put it in your yard before safeco will go inspect the damages........thats right they don't want to pay the tow nor the storage fees. so keep 500 friken bucks in your pocket just in case. thats just the beginning of the fun. they want to make you at fault also. what ever they can get away with. in pain? crapola they don't care. May God help you if you ever have to deal with these crooks. & May God have mercy on their souls.
I have SafeCo insurance for all of my insurance. I have been with SafeCo insurance for about two years or so now and I have homeowners insurance and car insurance through SafeCo. I have never found the company to be unfair with any of its dealings with me. And while my rates are semiannually given, I've never noticed a significant increase from one billing period to the next. I can appreciate a company that's fair and nowadays it is pretty hard to come by; most businesses seem to be out for the almighty dollar and that seems to be all they care about. I don't get that sense with SafeCo insurance: SafeCo representatives are nothing short of awesome; whenever I talked to one of them they are polite and they answer all my questions and concerns no matter how many I have. Plus, they act like they really want talked me, not like it's an inconvenience that I called. When it comes to recommending insurance I say you're pretty safe with SafeCo insurance.
SafeCo is the best company I've ever decided to buy car insurance from. I like how the claim adjusters deal with good customers fairly; the adjusters are prompt in responding to a claim and they were at my home to appraise the vehicle within days of me making the claim. After I got a couple of estimates the SafeCo insurance adjuster communicated well with me and worked with me and I got the second highest estimate that I received in terms of payback. I appreciate the fact he was polite and I know that if I have to file a claim with SafeCo insurance again that they're adjusters are professional and courteous. I also like the fact that SafeCo insurance has fairly decent rates and I don't feel like I am being raked across the coals every time I pay my premiums. In my opinion, for what it's worth, SafeCo is a reasonable company to work with.
I've had SafeCo insurance since 2005 and I have never once had to file a claim with the company: that is until 2007. Last year I made my first claim through SafeCo insurance and it was a horrifying nightmare. I think I placed a million phone calls to the company trying to get a claim processed and the representatives have no clue what's going on every time you call. Some of the representatives were rude, and I was told everything from the claim was processed and the check was being sent to me to the claim was being held up by some technicalities. I actually got a different kind of answer with every phone call I made and the experience was so frustrating that I decided to drop SafeCo altogether after the claims process finally resolved. I'm now at X.... and haven't had to file a claim with them yet but I'm apt to believe that anything is better than the hassle I got from dealing with SafeCo insurance.
Safeco is a great insurance company. I think their claims department is great and they are fast, fast, fast when it comes to responding! It saddens me that you don't have numbers higher than five here - I would most certainly give Safeco a ten for being the best company overall! When I had to file a claim I got a call back the very same day I called Safeco. I didn't have to wait and wonder what was going on with my claim. I have been a customer of other insurance companies that have really dragged the claims process on and on, making the sheer act of processing a claim at all a terrible nightmare!!!! No so with Safeco. If you want real coverage, real service, and cheap prices, Safeco's the company to call. I am satisfied enough with the company to recommend my own son to them. Great company.
If you are looking for insurance than I highly recommend Safeco. If truth be told, Safeco is the only way you should go if you need insurance. Safeco has appropriately named their company - my family is truly safe financially because we have Safeco insurance. The insurance costs that Safeco offers are extraordinary and their staff is friendly and professional. Truthfully, I couldn't believe it when I realized that I am paying 30 percent less for my car insurance than I was with other companies. I have never met one of their workers that weren't friendly. If I have concerns I can call the company and I am not the least hesitant about doing so. Since I was so pleased with the company's car insurance, I decided to go for the other forms of insurance they offer. Now all of my insurance demands are handled thorough a single, reliable and professional company.
