Predatory pricing and terrible customer service. I am a 46-year-old driver with a zero-accident history who recently moved to Arizona from Denmark. While buying a car, the dealer recommended GAINSCO. In a rush, I signed up, and they charged me a massive $3,000. Two days later, Progressive gave me the exact same coverage for $1,200 a year.
I started the policy on October 10th and cancelled it on October 12th—the first business day. Now, GAINSCO refuses to refund my money for the cancelled policy. They take advantage of people in urgent situations and pocket your money when you cancel. Avoid them and go with a reputable company instead.

If I could leave a negative review
If I could leave a negative review, I would.On August 14, a Gainsco customer backed into my vehicle, causing significant damage. I was contacted on August 21 by the representative handling my claim. She took my statement and said she had not spoken with the policyholder.
I have a police report stating their driver was at fault, along with videos of the driver and both vehicles, plus photos and videos of police at the scene.
Gainsco told me there were issues with the policy but would not explain what they were\. I contacted the local insurance office and confirmed that he had been a customer for years, that his policy was active at the time of the accident, and that it does not expire until next year\. Based on this information, I am concerned that Gainsco is not handling this matter transparently.
Gainsco advised me not to repair my vehicle because they would not cover the claim unless they spoke with their driver. I was also told they would not cover my medical bills and that I should file through my own insurance, which could leave me responsible for my deductible.
I have repeatedly requested a supervisor call me, but no one has. The representative handling my claim has also been extremely unprofessional. During one conversation, she went silent and **hung up on me. When I called back, she admitted she could hear me.
I am extremely disappointed with Gainsco’s lack of communication, professionalism, and accountability. I am now considering hiring an attorney because I am completely over this. The 14 of this month will be 30 days

They Avoid, Stall and Do Not Respond!
Avoid this company like the plague. They love to stall hoping you go away. One of their clients hit my car when it was parked. The police stated it was the guys fault that hit me but they refuse to contact me. Filed a claim and now it's been months. They don't respond to emails or phone calls. If you're looking for insurance then steer clear of these people.

My experience with GAINSCO Auto…
My experience with GAINSCO Auto Insurance was very disappointing. I had a major accident, and the damage to my car was significant, but the amount they offered me was extremely low and did not help me at all.
This is my last month with them, and I do NOT recommend this company to anyone.
I have even received offers from lawyers to help me get the compensation I deserve, which clearly shows that the settlement I was given was unfair.
Very poor experience overall.

I'm getting ghosted by my claims adjuster.
My claims adjuster will not return my phone calls. It has been over a week and my car is still at the tow yard.
Terrible customer service.
