They were great with all my insurance needs - cars, RV, and home. We moved to a floating home and downsized to one car. The price for just the car went up and they couldn't cover our new home.

Friendly, helpful agent. Spent extra time getting me the best rate. If you want a fair auto insurance quote from a reliable company, contact Safeco.

They were awesome. However, after my accident, I stopped receiving bills and didn't realize my insurance had lapsed.

The prices are very good, but I miss certain features from other carriers. My local agent is becoming lax in her ability to carry out and follow up on calls and simple tasks. I need a dependable agent.

They have been fair, except for raising my rate when I was accident-free and ticket-free. I always paid my premium early and never missed a payment. After comparing rates with other companies, I decided I was just as well off with Safeco.

My car was stolen and totaled on 6/28/19, and I still can't negotiate an agreement that isn't a lowball offer. I received two offers within a 2 to 3 week period, but the second one was only $364.00 higher than the first one. I am permanently mobility disabled, and now they are trying to force me to accept their offer. I'm losing everything...

The agent's office would not return phone messages, causing us to get our car insurance cancelled. We left numerous messages over a month-long period, with no returned phone calls. We have moved all our insurance to another provider.

I've never had any claims with Safeco. The price was good at first, but they tend to increase their policies significantly. I have left them before, and they returned after a few years with good pricing. However, after 2 or 3 years, they raised their auto insurance prices by 34% to 43%. I have home, auto, and rental houses with them, so I get combined coverage for auto and homes. Now, I'm shopping around to see if there are any better quotes closer to my last year's quotes. I understand that prices go up, but not by that much.

The policy I had was canceled without any notice, and I was charged full price plus an extra fee for coverage I wouldn't have for the following month. I had zero accidents and a high deductible.

The only issue is that every year the rates increase a lot more than inflation. A 15-20% increase is too much.

They are good with claims, but their rates increase annually until we could no longer afford them.

I'm concerned about the poor customer service I received last year when I didn't receive my homeowner's quote in a timely manner. Also, despite having excellent credit, no claims, and a perfect driving record, my rates increased dramatically.

They have been slow on a claim my husband filed. I was paying for ultra coverage, which includes new car replacement. So, he was told our car that was totaled would be paid off, but it wasn't. There was no replacement either. I was paying for ultra coverage, so why didn't we get it when my husband had an accident? I have no claims filed. I just pay the bill and expect the coverage I am paying for.

Yes, it may be too high. I have been insured with homeowners insurance since the 80s. I've never used it, yet it continues to increase in large increments!

I was hit from behind last spring and it was not my fault. However, Safeco decided to treat the situation as no fault and I was stuck with the deductible.

The rates are too high. I only drive 2,400 miles a year. My last bill was $1,738.87, which is just too much. My car is garage-kept. I would like to stay with this insurance company, but I might have to switch. - Burton Abner

Rates on both car and homeowner's insurance have increased over 25% in the last 3 years with them, despite having no claims, no negative driving history, or changes in the car being insured.

There was a lack of response to my claim after a no-fault accident in which I was rear-ended, coupled with rapid price increases.

Safeco wanted more money for my insurance. I've been with them for over 9 years and I've never submitted a claim or received any tickets.
