There's no particular reason, but every time my policy renews, it always costs more. For instance, last April and May, I received a couple of $20 refunds, which was nice. However, when my policy was renewed in October, they raised my policy by $50 for no apparent reason.

This is the lowest rate I've found so far, $60 per month. If you can insure me for $48 per month, I'm interested in discussing further. I'm 72, rarely drive, and have never had a ticket or an accident. My car is mostly parked in the garage. Can you help? Thanks, Peter Gobos

They intentionally cancelled my policy to raise my rates by 30%! They claimed that they don't call customers, but that's not true. They can certainly call a customer when their emails are not being received.

Getting them to pay off my car after it was totaled was like pulling teeth. They sent the payment to the wrong address. During the three months I was waiting, I had to keep making car payments because Mazda had no proof the car was totaled. I didn't want my credit score to drop any further. They didn't inform me that my rental period had ended until two weeks later, which cost me $500. Had they paid off the car on time, this wouldn't have happened. I provided proof that the accident wasn't my fault, but they lost the evidence. They said they couldn't fast forward the video and because it wasn't in color, they couldn't see the red light. Despite all the cars going north to south being stopped and all the cars moving east to west moving, they didn't accept that the man who ran the red light was at fault. I finally sent them a statement from the police confirming that the man involved was issued a citation for running a red light. He was on his phone, but that didn't seem to matter. It was a mess from start to finish. I had a broken neck and hip, and doing all the legwork was very difficult. Towards the end of this ordeal, no one called or kept me updated. I was in pain and bitter because this accident changed my life. If not for their employee, Shannon Smith, I might have done something foolish. It was the worst time in my life. I'd never had an accident before and this was a shock to my system. I will be leaving Esurance because of how poorly this was handled. I just want to give kudos to Shannon Smith, the only one who was helpful. She deserves a promotion! Thank you, Betty J. Peake

There was no notification of a pending payment due. I had checked at the beginning of the month and it said no payment was due. However, when I checked again later in the month, my policy was cancelled. Also, the customer service is poor. It's difficult to get a hold of a real person and the automated systems are not helpful. I left two messages in the same day and received no response.

I am paying more for insurance than my monthly car payment. I am planning on leaving eSurance before my next payment. Your merger with Allstate was a horrible idea and has provided nothing but headaches.

They don't offer accident forgiveness. Last year, I was involved in an accident where I hit a sign on the highway while trying to avoid a head-on collision. Subsequently, my insurance skyrocketed. When I spoke to a customer service representative, they essentially told me that it would have been better to have the accident to prevent my insurance from increasing.

Esurance established a COVID-19 webpage claiming, 'We are here for you.' However, when I contacted Customer Service, they were unwilling to assist customers who couldn't make payments on their auto insurance bill. Contrary to what was stated on the page, Esurance did not provide 'Payment Relief'. Here is the link for reference: https://www.esurance.com/info/covid19

Renewal has been an administrative nightmare! There have been changing requirements, previously included coverages are now excluded, and the flexibility in choosing coverage levels ($) has been reduced. Additionally, there seems to be disagreement among underwriters regarding instructions, and so on.

They raised my auto and renters insurance by $100 per month since I signed up a year ago. I haven't had any accidents, except for hitting my first deer. I find this to be unfair! They never sent a notice or any communication about this increase.

Dealing with this company has been challenging due to issues with receiving documents that I sent to an email that wasn't working. If it hadn't been for a kind lady who reached out to me, I would have had no insurance. I sent the documents and was told they were received, only to find out they weren't. This issue caused me stress for weeks. However, this kind lady, whose name I will find, took the time to help me and figure out a way to get the documents. She deserves recognition. Apart from her, it's been the worst experience I've ever had with an insurance company. Additionally, I found out my payment would be over $500 a month. The agent who signed me up never mentioned this. Now, I'm worried about how I'm going to come up with that kind of money to prevent cancellation.

They start off by offering a great monthly rate, but as you go through their sign-up process, they start adding more costs to your rate. They aren't truthful about the ability to switch off their DriveSense app. After installing the app, I was unable to turn it off, so I deleted it from my phone, which is going to cost me even more money!

They increase rates for accidents, some of which were not the fault of the owner/driver. Our home insurance through them was also dropped due to a no-fault home fire years back, which was the first and only claim made on any of our homes.

I don't like their DriveSense app. It does not accurately record your driving, especially when it comes to braking. There are times when you are forced to brake because of other careless drivers, but the app has no way of measuring that. So, it records it as hard braking, and it goes against you.
