That was my experience.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on August 29, 2025Above and beyond, Demeris Barrios, our CSR, is unbelievably helpful, professional, and thorough in his extensive knowledge of how the policy coverage works for us. Truly amazing!Verified PurchaseReviewed in California on March 7, 2026They only care about what they may have to pay out. They don’t bother to pursue the at-fault party’s insurance and stop responding once they’ve decided you aren’t owed anything. But it’s cheap, so you get what you pay for, I guess.Verified ReviewReviewed in Utah on February 28, 2026I'm switching because my insurance is already way too high for liability only. I haven't had any claims or traffic violations, and they are raising it another $50 a month.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on February 24, 2026I found out my liability coverage is not even near the state minimum, and I didn't even know until I called another insurance company who told me.Verified ReviewReviewed in Pennsylvania on February 10, 2026Still seeking other insurance companies because of high costs.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on January 31, 2026There are no real agents with in-depth knowledge; everything is handled through corporate, so I'm not sure why I'm paying my local office.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on January 13, 2026Expensive as hell. I wanted to remove a car from my policy, and my insurance went up $100 per month.Verified PurchaseReviewed in New Hampshire on November 18, 2025No complaints, saving me almost $200 a month.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on November 16, 2025Very good price and they work with you. However, as a senior citizen and a combat Vietnam veteran on a budget, it's still a bit high for me. Customer service is very good. I would recommend anyone to call National General.

I also had to file a claim on a vehicle I let someone borrow and totaled. The claims department was quick and handled it all smoothly with no problems. What happens next is on me. This insurance company is awesome.Verified PurchaseReviewed in California on December 18, 2025I’m probably paying too much for insurance! But you get what you pay for. I’m very happy with the service, but not happy about how much it costs!Verified ReviewReviewed in Kentucky on September 19, 2025They are one of the most inexpensive insurance companies.Verified PurchaseReviewed in California on August 19, 2025So far, very good service.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on July 29, 2025Work with Rudy! He's amazing and got my account set up.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on April 23, 2025My past experiences with NatGen have been positive, but I'm relocating to New York and have received a non-renewal notification because they don't cover vehicles garaged in New York!Verified ReviewReviewed in Delaware on April 13, 2025Fair pricing! Better than the major, well-known companies!Verified ReviewReviewed in Delaware on March 22, 2025Excellent value!Verified ReviewReviewed in Illinois on March 14, 2026I don’t know if the premium amount comes from the company or the agent, but it is outrageous. There was no flexibility even though I have no wrecks, no DUIs, or tickets, plus I’m a veteran. I talked to my agent's office two months ago to inform them I’d be changing if they didn’t reduce the current premium or provide a different company. After two weeks of not hearing back, they finally informed me they’d dropped it by $30. Okay, that’s still about $180+/mo. That new quote was never effectuated. Now I’ve changed not only companies but agents as well!Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on January 22, 2026Not happy. The price changed two times from the original quote, with no tickets or accidents. The policy changed over $150. I was paying $79 monthly, and after 3 months it changed to $103 with no explanation. Not happy.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on December 26, 2025These guys are very expensive compared to other companies. I would not recommend them.Verified ReviewReviewed in North Carolina on November 9, 2025After seven years without filing a single claim and just one moving violation, they wanted to more than double my premium.Verified ReviewReviewed in Illinois on October 20, 2025Good provider.Verified ReviewReviewed in Delaware on October 20, 2025Trying to speak to their customer service is way too daunting. The price has gone up from $192 to $219. I have been with them for 2 years and there are no loyalty discounts.Verified ReviewReviewed in Louisiana on October 19, 2025They don't have any grace days, so if you miss a payment, they'll lapse your coverage the day after the payment is due. My experience overall was below average.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on October 10, 2025They are a good company but a little high.
