Six months for $734.Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on January 22, 2026Excellent in all aspects when dealing with The Hartford. Policy service and, most importantly, with claims.Verified ReviewReviewed in Michigan on January 21, 2026Price stability is above average. Claims are handled expeditiously without any intervention. A knowledgeable live agent by phone is easily available.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on January 14, 2026I need a cheaper cost for my car insurance.Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on January 3, 2026Prices could be better for a driver with my excellent record, limited driving, and older car.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on March 20, 2026I never had a claim with them, but the premium keeps skyrocketing. Shop around, but "ALWAYS CHECK YOUR COVERAGE." Lower premiums seem to mean less coverage.Verified ReviewReviewed in New York on March 3, 2026Rates are decent, but it is sometimes hard to get customer service to fix an account issue, such as connecting auto and renters insurance logins.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 26, 2026I had Hartford for years, and they kept increasing my insurance rates every year, even though I never filed a claim.Verified ReviewReviewed in Connecticut on February 9, 2026We have very few claims experiences, but what we've had was excellent.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on January 31, 2026I've made no claims, but the price keeps going up.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on January 18, 2026Good insurance but very expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on December 18, 2025I would not encourage or suggest my friends use this insurance company at all. I started out paying $164 a month for a 2007 Honda Civic but was told not to worry; after being with them and with my driving record, it would go down. I have a tracker that rates my driving, and I received a 26% discount the first time, which brought it down to $141. Then it went back up to $164 because I had not renewed my AARP membership for the discount. I called to find that out, renewed AARP, and it went back down after I called to see why it had not changed back, only to find out that the renewal information was not posted. It went back to $144. Well, I just received my new six-month payment plan, and it has gone back to $164 for the first month, then $160 for the other five months, with my tracker showing another 26% starting 1/20/26. I called, and the lady could not really explain this to me. Again, this is for a 2007 Honda Civic, and she could not explain why I wasn't getting the 26% discount. She really acted like she could care less and mentioned something about a tariff. I am 81 and on a fixed income.Verified ReviewReviewed in South Carolina on November 28, 2025The price went up $50 with no claims ever.

But these days the rates keep going up annually. Time to look for a different company.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on September 26, 2025I really would not encourage anyone to use The Hartford Insurance. They quoted me a good price, and I have never seen it that low. I joined in 2023, and they told me the price was high because I needed to use the app that would track my driving ability. They said in 90 days it would come down. Well, it keeps saying 26% discount and so on, but it only went down to $141.00 a month and then went back up to $160.00, the original price. They did not tell me that to receive discounts, I needed to maintain membership with AARP. I had no knowledge it had gone back up until one month I checked my bills and saw it was up to $161.00. I called, and that is when they informed me about the membership for AARP. I renewed in July, and they had not made any corrections or changes until this month when I had to call again to question why the amount was still the same. They said they did not show that I renewed membership. I have a 2007 Honda Civic, and I asked for full coverage, but my price is, to me, an amount I could pay for a newer car. So that is what's going on with me in my world. I am also a senior, 80 years old, and there are no discounts for that either. I am just saying. You asked, so here it is.Verified ReviewReviewed in Michigan on August 6, 2025Most staff are helpful and kind, but overall communication with customers is not clear or complete.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on July 8, 2025The Hartford has been there when I needed them. I appreciate the lifetime membership. It’s good to know that they don’t just drop you because of an accident. They are more expensive than other companies because they offer lifetime membership. If you know of any other companies that offer lifetime membership, please let me know. I would like to make a comparison.

- Verified ReviewReviewed in Washington on March 28, 2025The rates just went up and I'm on a fixed income.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on March 22, 2025I never had any problems with them, it just got too expensive!Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on March 20, 2025They are great to work with. The only reason I am switching is due to a significant premium increase. I did have a claim in September last year, but my increase was almost double. It seems they want to recoup their payout quickly.Verified ReviewReviewed in Massachusetts on March 14, 2025It's unfortunate that The Hartford continues to increase their cost every year, despite me having no accidents or lapses. I have the same options, but I'm paying more money. Progressive has offered a six-month policy for $363 if I pay upfront. After 12 months, that's $500 less than what The Hartford charges for two vehicles after five years with them. I have my renter's and life insurance bundled with them. I don't want to leave, but I feel I have to. It's a matter of principle.Verified ReviewReviewed in Virginia on March 7, 2025I would advise my friends not to consider The Hartford because their policies are quite expensive and they weren't willing to discount anything for me.Verified ReviewReviewed in Nevada on February 23, 2025The only bad thing is they keep raising the price!Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on February 12, 2025Excellent claim service, fantastic agents.Verified ReviewReviewed in Missouri on December 21, 2024They have what you need, and do what they say.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on January 20, 2026We had two vehicles, and the price was fair. We sold one, made no claims, and the price actually increased higher for one car than when we had two. The following year, the price increased again. Still one car, still above the two-car price. No accidents, no tickets, no citations. Year three... increased again. And this is the company AARP is affiliated with.Verified ReviewReviewed in Texas on October 12, 2025Too expensive. Feedback on claims could be better.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on June 9, 2025I have stayed with HERTFORD for a number of years. However, I feel their rates are higher than many. They are always available if you have questions. I feel they could offer discounts or rewards to clients who have stayed with them consistently after a designated number of years.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on May 15, 2025If you want premium insurance, it's expensive.Verified ReviewReviewed in Connecticut on May 10, 2025Good but pricey.Verified ReviewReviewed in Indiana on May 8, 2025It's a good insurance company. My only complaint is the price. I have been a customer for 14 years. My policy almost doubled in price.Verified ReviewReviewed in Maryland on May 6, 2025Rates go up every year.Verified ReviewReviewed in Florida on April 30, 2025The Hartford is a good company, but like most insurance companies, they cost too much and offer too little. I'm on Social Security, and my car insurance is too much, but I have to have it. When it's time to renew my policy, I always check to see if I can find a better policy.
