    Amica is an excellent company. However, it is very expensive. I am on a fixed income and am looking to see how I might reduce my monthly payments. I am seriously considering giving up car ownership. I am not looking to buy until at the soonest September.

    They are the highest-priced company I have seen while searching for new home and auto insurance. They will save you money by raising your deductible and lowering your coverage.

    Service and advice through the many years with them has been outstanding!
    On balance, if I could give them a 10, I would. I've been with them for 43 years! My business with them peaked at homeowners’ landlord rental house, 3 rental policies as each of my 3 kids went off to college, auto coverage on all 5 drivers in my household covering 4-5 vehicles as each kid reached driving age, plus an umbrella liability policy. They never claimed to be the cheapest game in town, but I wasn’t too troubled by that, particularly as each kid began driving. Car claims as well as homeowner claims have been nearly non-existent through all the time with them. Their customer service is based in the US - a blessing in this day and age. I have referred several acquaintances to them through the years - all have had similar results with them. Things are different now - I am retired, children are off my policies and have their own, no longer a landlord, and not the least significant is the cost of coverage. That's the only reason I am looking around.

    Very good service at a premium price
    The customer service and claim handling are very good, but the policy, which used to be annual, has been split into 6-month terms like other competitors over the last few years. This change allows for higher increases.

    I've been with Amica for almost 20 years, for both home and auto insurance. I have great credit, no violations, and I've never missed an auto payment. I recently purchased a 2023 vehicle and the coverage on both my vehicles more than doubled to over $4,000 a year. This is absurd and feels like robbery! Amica has lost a long-time customer. Goodbye, Amica!

    Disappointed
    They had recorded the wrong miles per year I had driven. It was reading 5400 instead of 15,400. I called to make the change with my policy due again, and then they questioned me about rideshare, which I had already discussed with them. After they changed the policy, my bill increased by almost $100 a month and they charged me a $200 underwriting fee. I was initially told my bill would only go up by $16.
