Auto-Owners InsuranceReviews of auto-owners.com

Pray no driver with this insurance ever hits your car. It's never a good sign when no one has heard of it. The Greenville, SC claims center of this company excels at mediocrity and incompetence. A pulse must be the only requirement to work here or be a manager. You get lots of practice listening to unprofessional voicemails (ie."if you're calling between 12pm and 2pm, I'm at lunch. ") No one, including managers, ever returns calls. They are obviously trained not to answer the phone and only communicate via email. It takes multiple days to complete even the most basic steps of the process, such as getting a rental car. They treat you as if you're at fault instead of their insured. You're probably better off filing with your own insurance and letting them deal with it.

This company is exactly that unethical , they have a customer that has a surety bond with them this bond covers anything the company may do like fraud , dishonesty , selling salvage vehicles without notifying the buyer , and by this business sackett Motorsport posting this item had never gone through an insurance company then sending me a salvage titled frame , that’s fraud and should have been paid out to me , but these dishonest pieces of dog dung denied my claim . If you are gonna get insurance stay away from these guys no matter how good it looks , no matter how bad you are hurting to stay compliant with the laws do not use this companies services , avoid these guys like the plague , yeah they will pay out some claims because I’m sure the law has a percentage they have to payout but do you really wanna take a chance that these guys auto owners insurance are gonna pay ? ? Your life and the lives of your loved ones are worth more then the savings you will get by purchasing insurance here , when it comes to auto owners insurance ….just say “NO THANK YOU !”

This is an unethical company. If you have accident forgiveness in your policy in south carolina they wil not honor it through loop holes and kick you put your policy after your first accident in 23 years of driving

I had Auto Owners Insurance coverage on my business. I was in an accident that was not my fault in January 2015. I put a claim in on my Auto Owner Insurance under the UMI part of the policy because the other person did not have enough coverage to cover my medical bills. After submitting everything to Auto Owners Insurance they said yes there was coverage! after almost two years sending them medical bills and other documents in which Auto Owners Insurance lost or supposedly just didn't get and my lawyer resent time and time again which is part of Auto Owners Insurance ploy to delay your claim. Please keep in mind that Auto Owners Insurance never denied the claim until a month before the time was up to file a lawsuit! There offer was 20,000 dollars take it or leave it! I had well over 100,000 dollars in medical bills, so we filed a lawsuit against Auto Owner Insurance! So now we are three years into this claim and Auto Owners Insurance hires their slim ball attorneys who like to play as many games as Auto Owners Insurance does. So, Auto Owners Attorneys starts splitting hairs on ownership of my truck that was crashed and if it was owned by the business or me! So, after a ton more of paperwork and motion after motion filed with the courts in which these slim ball attorneys of Auto Owners Insurance like to do, Auto Owner Attorneys again waste time and drive-up legal cost instead of trying to come to the table with a reasonable settlement offer! So, another 2 years and 10 months go by we get our day in court! a total of almost 6 years now wasted! So, we get a young wet behind the ears judge and this judge just let these lawyers for Auto Owners Insurance just run over the top of him! This Judge let everything that had nothing to do with the accident in as evidence! Auto Owner Insurance and their slim ball attorneys assonated my charter and slandered me and completely made me out to be some monster, we prevailed on part of the lawsuit but lost part of the lawsuit also! Now Auto Owners Insurance and their slim ball attorneys are suing me in an attempt to collect attorney's fees that they ran up a figure of about 280,000 dollars! So, if this is the kind of Insurance Company you want protecting you and your family, I got news for you they could care less about their policy holders. Auto Owners Insurance will lie, cheat and do everything necessary not to pay a claim! Auto Owners Insurance would rather pay their slim ball attorneys to run you threw the court system and wear you out then pay you one dime!!! Don't even consider Auto Owners Insurance and if you have it now start shopping for new insurance as fast as you can before something happens!!! Don't let Auto Owners Insurance do this to you!!!!

I just read the other reviews and I totally agree with the other negative complaints! Please avoid this insurance company literally at all costs! They are the worst. My mom has used them to cover her small business. Recently, a fire started at an adjacent business but jumped into my mom's business. So far, it has been 2 weeks since the disaster, and they have been giving my poor mom the complete runaround. She is a widow, and she has been very upset with her treatment. The company keeps telling her they will get back to her, but they never do. They said that on a Monday, and now it is Thursday! Nothing. They are trying to find loopholes and stupid excuses not to help cover some of the damages. They are very dishonest, rude, and have no ethics or loyalty. They also have no respect or care to help. My mom has had them too for years paying thousands of dollars towards premiums with never a claim. This is how bad this place is. As soon as we get this resolved, we are going to move to another company. I am so shocked at their behavior, I am at a loss for words.

I have had business liability thru Auto Owners for many years, paying tens of thousand of dollars in premiums. recently I retired and have been trying for over 6 months to get my final audits done. They have stone walled all the way, charging me for exposures which apparently in their bullitins, but not in my policy. JUST BEWARE; typical insurance co.

I have never had a worse experience with an insurance company. Took 5 months for a house claim. Did not return many phone calls from me, roofer or my broker. Almost had to sue them. I finally got the state involved for support and finally reached an agreement.

Worst experience I have ever had. I had a total destruction on my greenhouse which was attached to my garage. They had required me to pay premiums on their $120,000 appraisal or lose my replacement value benefit. My actual replacement cost was $65,000. Their initial offer was $11,000 for my replacement cost. After 6 months of fighting with them, they offered me $45,000. I am worn out with all the fighting with my so called insurance company. I thought replacement cost coverage was very clear coverage. Apparently not. I am so worn out with 100’s of pages of their small print and avoidance of a fair offer, I give up. I thought insurance was protection, apparently not. What a horrible deceitful company.
