Safeco Insurance

[.:.impossible]

Does anyone have any experience dealing with Safeco Insurance? A friend of mine told me to check them out and the rates are pretty good. Aside from the rates, does anyone have any actual customer experience with them?

Thanks.

We used Safeco/Lloyds for about 10 years (95-05).

After much research we had decided to drop Nationwide

and go with Safeco in 95. The price (then) was good and it

seemed that they would be there if we had ever needed them.

We did - and there was some resistance to our claim

(we had to replace the roof due to a very damaging and

widespread hail storm a few years ago). They were willing

to reimburse for most of the damage, but they kinda played

with the numbers some, etc...We stayed with them after the matter

was resolved because it wasn't really a horrible experience - just a

little bit of a nuisance...

but our mortgage company gave us some new numbers

connected with Travelers MGA and we found them to be a lot cheaper,

so we changed to them back in Aug of last year.

You may know this already: It's usually a good idea to try to insure both

your home and your car with the same company

because they most often give you discounts on both policies.

don't know how much help this is, but good luck.

(Also, I'd recommend the Consumer Reports research route too)
