AMICA - Auto

Pros: They are better than many other insurance companies.
Cons: Service like this at any price is not worth the money.

Hi there, Schlamozzel here with a review that truly breaks my heart to have to write. This has very little to do with Slumlord Brand (TM) business. But there is a connection here I'll elaborate upon later. The Questions (Note: ...

Pros: Good service; reasonable rates
Cons: None

A common reaction to mentioning AMICA insurance might be: AMICA insurance? Who the heck is that? Never heard of them.

It’s not surprising, really. They don’t really advertise, so they’re not nearly as well known as larger companies, such as...

Pros: Incredible service, cheaper rates than others. Friendly staff that check up on you.
Cons: Only one, no 6 month coverage, only yearly but who cares, go yearly.

Well, the only way to test an Insurance company is to test them. How do you test them? Well, unfortunately it's when you become the victim of misfortune. I became a victim but in the end, after it was all said and done, I was the winner again.
...

Pros: Excellent customer service reputation makes you feel you're getting something for your money
Cons: Cheaper rates can be found elsewhere

Updates
Just as I predicted, my rates went up at renewal due to insurance fraud in NY.

When it was time for me to insure an automobile, an automobile that was for...

Pros: None...not customer driven anymore!
Cons: They try to get the maximum premium anyway they can.

We have cancelled all our policies with AMICA due to deceptive practices on their part.

We have had AMICA for Auto, Homeowners, and term life insurance for over 25 years and were pleased with their service and rates up until 3 years ago.
...

Pros: spectacular customer service, super-fast claims processing, never dropped for any reason
Cons: none

I don't know if I have much to add to the already glowing opinions of Amica but I want to cast my vote and at least add to the positive view. It would be really interesting to see or read someone with any 'negative' views on Amica. Personally, I don't...

Pros: Easy to work with, Dividends, Fast turn-around
Cons: none

I have been a customer of Amica nearly seven years now, since I first was licensed to drive, and was insured under my parents' policy. Since then I have had the unfortunate opportunity to place several claims with them, all of which were handled in a...

Pros: Great customer service, prompt claims assistance
Cons: None

Back in 1990, a friend recommended that I consider Amica for automobile insurance. At first, I was skeptical because I had never heard of the company, but in my search for quality coverage, I knew it would be worthwhile to check it out. I was...

Pros: Excellent customer service. Very personable. Access to account info via online interface. Excellent prices.
Cons: None.

While searching for new insurance, I visited youdecide.com. I entered my information and within a couple of days, they returned quotes from a few insurance companies -- many of whom I had heard of before, but I had never heard of Amica.

Their...

Pros: Sort-of Comparable Price
Cons: Somewhat Sloppy Office Procedures, Questionable Underwriting.

I never have been turned down for insurance in my life, till now. The story starts:

Some friends of ours who had been in 3 bad accidents changed from State Farm (who applied Allstate like tactics about soft-tissue damage and proceeded to...

Pros: Helpful on the phone. A selective insurer.
Cons: High cost, depending on location. You may be disappointed with their claims service.

Amica is a high-end "white glove" auto insurer. They are choosy. Apparently, they turn down a lot of folks. One friend even told me that he couldn't get Amica because he doesn't park his car in a garage, but on the street. No doubt about it. They ...

Pros: Low cost, friendly people, great Web site interface
Cons: None yet

I was with Allstate for about 27 years (a thing called loyalty) when I changed residences (5 minutes from my previous residence), and was immediately given a $200 increase in premiums for the year due to a different zip code. When I contacted my agent he...

Pros: AMICA is still competitive on rates in most areas.
Cons: They seem to be deaf to listening to customers and employees.

30 years ago I read about this company in consumer reports as being top rated. I took them and for many years very satisfied. The 2 accident claims we turned in we had trouble with the independent appraiser AMICA sent out being the lowest appraisal and ...

Pros: strong company, reliable, dividend
Cons: expensive

Four years ago I was referred to AMICA by a family member who said I would save big money on my insurance without sacrificing service. I have since carried AMICA as my sole carrier in NJ, NY and most recently CA. The rates were competitive in NJ,...

Pros: Cost and Professional Service
Cons: None

I was tired and fed up with poor service and high insurance rates for my automobile. After an extensive search I located AMICA and received a quote which was over 50% less than I was currently paying for the same vehicle through one of the...
