Subpar Experience with The Hartford
Several links/buttons on their website do not work, including the Help section. They do not accept emails—“for security reasons,” as they say. You can start some policy changes online, but it takes them 2-3 business days to review the changes and any documents you send through their website. Then you need to call them to finalize the changes, at which point they ask you for the same information that you already submitted online. On their website, you can see the documents they send you, but not those you send them, so you have to keep your own log. When adding a new car to my auto policy, they started coverage at a later date than the car was purchased, contrary to their own rules, which triggered a lapse in liability insurance. Their policy has a provision saying that if you ask them to insure a newly acquired auto within 30 days after you become the owner, any coverage they provide for the newly acquired auto begins on the date you become the owner. I asked them to add a new car to my policy within 30 days from the purchase date. When I called them several days later to finalize the change, they asked why I waited almost 30 days, and if I would not answer this question, the coverage would not begin on the purchase date. I was surprised by the question and pointed out their own policy provision of 30 days. It became apparent during the conversation that the agent on the phone did not know the company’s policy well enough: she said that if I wanted the coverage to start on the date of the purchase, I should have asked them to add the new car within 14 days after becoming the owner (their policy does not have any 14-day provision). I was also appalled by the interrogative tone of this agent: she talked in such a way as if she suspected me of wrongdoing. In total, it took 6 phone calls with a cumulative time of 2 hours 46 minutes, over the period of about 2 weeks, to get them to correct their mistake and start the coverage on the date of purchase. By the time a lapse in liability insurance was cleared, interest had accrued on unpaid vehicle taxes (you cannot pay these taxes without paying a fine for liability insurance lapse, and paying this fine is the admission of guilt). So here are my subjective observations: Their website is lacking. Their “respect” is utterly superficial: they respect neither your time nor their own rules. They can talk to clients in an unacceptable tone. And I never filed any claim with them. Cannot imagine what it would be if I did. If you are over 50, have a clean driving record, and don’t mind the caveats above, you may consider this company (as always, you choose the insurer at your own risk), but there may be better deals out there. I switched my insurance to another provider—they have a good reputation, a working website, they communicate by email, and their premium for the same coverage is lower.

Where is the Heart, Hartford?
I 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.

No Insurance Company Beat The Hartford on Rates for Identical Insurance
First, have an AARP membership. Second, know exactly what coverages you want and what deductibles you're comfortable with. Third, if you don't drive over 5000-9000 miles a year, make sure to emphasize that or you won't get the discount.

They do not offer any savings for senior citizens as they claim to do. I called and told them I was looking into getting better coverage, and they said, "Oh, that's our prices," with no room for negotiation. Their roadside assistance program is terrible. After one try, I ended up canceling. They do not seem to care if you stay with them or if you leave.

Hartford Experiences
I have been with Hartford for many years. No accidents, no DUIs, and I travel less than 5-10 miles a day if I even drive. I've never received a discount or reduction in price. I'm 77 years old and asked for a lower payment, but all I get is that's the best I can get. AARP is a joke as far as Hartford goes, in my opinion. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I called once about saving hundreds, but since I was already a customer, there was no discount, not even for safe driving.

They’ll say at the end of your first six months your driving habits will help you get a discount based on safety performance. However, I did not see any discounts applied after my first six months or even after the last six months. For a big insurance company like Hartford, this feels misleading. I decided to leave and move forward with another option.

Examine Your Premiums
Be careful to examine your premium after a claim. Hartford classified a door ding in a parking lot (both cars parked) as a "collision," raising my premium by $500 per year for 2 years. I subsequently found out from the California Highway Patrol that a collision is defined when one or more of the involved vehicles "has their wheels turning." I protested to the underwriter with no response.

I had to fight hard to get my collision deductible reimbursed after being rear-ended in traffic.

User Review Collection and Methodologyexpand/collapse

Insurify collects reviews from users on its platform who have successfully compared quotes, as well as users who have purchased a policy through Insurify. These users complete an optional survey asking them to review their experience with their current insurance company and to rate the company on factors like customer service, claims handling, coverage availability, discounts, policy flexibility, policy transparency, and value for money. These ratings and reviews are then compiled and cleaned by our data team to bring you company-level insights from over 85,000 Insurify users.
