They Cancelled Our Home Insurance
We had no problem with Auto-Owners regarding our auto insurance. However, we were disappointed when Auto-Owners cancelled our home insurance. They stopped all home insurance in 'fire prone areas'.

Answer to Insurance Query
My experience with Auto-Owners has been good. My experience with the agent, Powers Agency, has been more than excellent.

Premium Too High
I had them for only 6 months. I went from paying $162 to $638. I added a new car and a new driver. I understood there would be an increase, but not such a big one.

They are priced lower than the big advertised companies, but I'm always looking to save all I can.
Robert

Just OK
If you have extremely low mileage vehicles (like show cars), do not put them on the Auto-Owners policy. There are specialty insurers that offer much better pricing/value for these types of vehicles.

Good Customer Service
The service is very good. They offer a one-year policy and a discount for paying in full. However, the price is too high.

Rate Review
I have no complaints. I'm just looking for lower payments. Both my vehicles are paid off, but they are well worth keeping full coverage. In the research I have done, I have found nobody with a better rate, most of the time even much higher than I'm paying with you. Hopefully, all rates will come down soon. I'm retired and living on a fixed income, so I'm trying to make the best of everything. I won't be leaving you anytime soon. Thank you for the concern.

They have kept my rates pretty much the same for the last 3 years. The first few years they jumped up some, but I'm still paying less than $95 a month. There's a 15 to 20% discount for paying yearly or every 6 months instead of a monthly rate.

Their staff is always friendly and answers all my questions. I might stay with them, but I'm currently researching other options because my rates are high. I understand that my payments increased since I've had two accidents since December 19, 2016. Thankfully, no one was hurt in either accident. The first accident resulted in damages under $9,000 to both vehicles, and it was my only accident in 73 years. The second accident only involved me. Auto-Owners totaled my vehicle and paid me damages of $6206.80. I understand why my rates would increase, but I didn't expect them to be as high as they are, so I thought I'd shop around.

Janice

They did not provide me with enough money to cover the purchase of a vehicle similar to mine. Due to the increasing prices of used vehicles, I had to buy a vehicle that was five years older than my previous one. Despite not receiving a ticket, they increased my car insurance by several hundred dollars per year. I'm 62 and have never had any tickets or accidents before. No other vehicle was involved.

Regina, my agent, has been great. However, incorrect information was entered by Nexusis, which wrongly impacted my driving record. Additionally, Auto Owners' rates are increasing dramatically. I am also being double invoiced for a policy that is already paid through December 14, 2019. I'm unsure about what's happening with Auto-Owners or Clinard Insurance Agency. Despite these issues, I appreciate the personal service from my agent, Regina, who has always been helpful with my insurance.

Too difficult to deal with for claims. They charged my wife as responsible for an accident in a parking lot when her car was struck from behind. My car was totaled in another accident where I was rear-ended on an exit by a truck, which pushed me into a van. AO hired an appraiser to get the value of my vehicle and then arbitrarily and unilaterally reduced the value given. I had been warned this would happen by another insured.

The claims adjuster is one issue. Most of the time, you can't get a hold of anyone at my agent's office.
