  1. BRISTOL-WEST INSURANCE is THE BIGGEST RIP-OFF. They are The Biggest Crooks in the world for Over Charging you for Auto Insurance. Go to PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE INSTEAD for 1/2 the price Guaranteed ! ! !

  2. All I wanted was insurance current insurance card.Been waiting no insurance card yet.Please expedite so I can get my car tag. The lady at the tax office wanted one.

  3. Worst company, wont cancel, and then asks for documentation, and then told me that wasn’t good enough, I paid for 2 months after trying to cancel. Then they told me i was wrong. The supervisor wasn’t any better help either, HORRIBLE COMPANY, STAY AWAY

  4. Poor communication. Have a active claim going on and try to reach the agent but never received any respond. Will never choose this company again

  5. If use this company YOUR AN IDIOT .Less than 2 months I got two threatening letters Both without a call or offer of correction
    all their fault. They are very low rated , robotic millennials …

  6. It is the worst company ever. I had to switch to another company because they increased the premium without any justification. Once the policy was canceled, they made an automatic debit of $ 200 without any authorization. They stole my money!

  7. employee name is – Joanna is a sucks employee. she trying to blame on me since she took claim from me. She doesn’t have any right to say whose fault it was, she trying to defend her client and she don’t understand whats my question is. sucks service ever.

  8. This place claims to have deposited insurance money into my account after I was hit by one of their customers. They money has not come thru and they claim its nothing they could do about it. I’m like 99.9% sure that this company is a FRAUD!

  9. These idiots are the worst. They will “cancel” your policy and leave a cancellation fee on the account, which will go to collections if you don’t call them back (despite having called them to cancel and them also having your card to charge on file). Huge scam. Talking to their customer service is an ongoing hoop-jumping joke.

  10. This is a terrible Insurance company. They will steal your money and give you absolutely nothing in return. Also, if you live anywhere in Douglas County Ks. Beware of Metcalf Insurance (Pam Metcalf)!

  11. I agree with all of you who rated a 1 star!! Worst insurance company ever! My car has been in the shop for 2 months now. Same run around, nobody ever returns calls, they state they have never had this type of issue before, blah, blah blah!!!!

  12. Save yourself the hassle or the stress. Having no insurance is better than having this insurance. I’m currently going through a lawsuit because this company likes to look for reasons to deny any claim. But they want to take premium cost.

  13. Jena Farley is the best agent! She got me auto insurance at a low rate and is continuing to help make it go down! She was very helpful and I’m forever grateful

  14. I was with them for 3 years had multiple problems with them raising my insurance price randomly finally had it called another insurance company literally saved $140 and got more coverage then they gave me.

  15. This is the worst company I have ever dealt with before. To say the least, they suck. My energy is drained from fighting with them nonstop to even go into detail about this nightmare of a company.

  16. Awful service when one of their customers rear ended me while i was stopped in a mcdonalds drove through. Accident was not my fault. My Calls were never returned and they are slow to get anything done. Steer clear of this company. God help you if one of their customers hit you.

  17. DO NO USE THIS COMPANY these guys are frauds. Cancelled my policy after they hiked it up more than 120 after the 2nd month 0’d out my balance and now out of nowhere I have collections for more than 167 for “fees”

  19. This company is horrendous! The customer service is deplorable! Whatever you do avoid filing a claim because they will definitely do everything they can to get out of paying out.

  20. Side swiped last week by one of there customers. Damaged rims and tires. The adjuster Angelo Duval who has taking a week to get back to me only goes off the pictures and cosmetic damage. My rims are bent and who knows what else he says the …

  23. The worst insurance company I’ve ever had they will be losing my service my vehicle has not moved since March 13th during this covid-19 I’ve contacted my agent several times not once several with a reply to say Bristol is not offering discounts. SHAME ON YOU I would NOT nor NEVER recommend this company

  24. Charges a fee if your credit card is declined same day you have to pay your insurance which is wrong. There should only be a fee if your payment is late. It brought my credit score down by 10 points.

  25. Thankfully I don’t have this for my insurance BUT I made a payment for someone else (payment was $281.) since they only have third world payment options and they deducted $600 from my account then only offered to credit the persons account …

  26. This insurance is honestly okay it’s the cheapest option I can afford right now with full coverage. I’ve been in two accidents so that can pretty much give you an idea on how much I pay . The only problem I have is the insurance constantly canceling my auto pay .

  27. So far so good but i had a 2002 excursion v-10 with pip for $149 month but now i have a 2014 kia optima 4 cylinder n they up my insurance to $260 month…really….u do da math on which will cost da most to repair in a incident..100% iron or fiber class

  28. This company has terriable reviews their not a good or honest company and. they find ways to worm their way out of paying claims if all these ppl that i been wronged by these company get together and file a claim with the Better Business Bureau something can be done very crooked company

  30. If I could give them less than one star I would. The absolute worst insurance company to have. They have hidden fees and the customer service is even worse. They tell you one thing and do the complete opposite. I would not recommend this company to anyone. After my policy ends I will be finding a new company.

  31. Terrible experience to give you a quote for one price then they triple the price because you didn’t do something by email or by their website without any of their your knowledge of what you have to do it’s all a scam

  32. After 1 of their insured customers have hit our truck, having them do the repairs has been a nightmare. They put aftermarket parts on the truck and with the money they saved has the nerve to say they aren’t fixing the mechanical broken …

  136. Bristol West will put your life and safety at risk by making you ride an unsafe vehicle. I was rear-ended by a Bristol West customer on my motorcycle. The shop says it is undrivable yet Bristol West thinks they know more than trained …

  137. I never had to used car insurance and I have car accident to start the problem with Bristol!!! I pay around 1,300 a year for commercial insurance and they treat me like I was asking for a favor!!! Never again Bristol is out my book!!!!

  138. This insurance was good for me. Other insurance companies were trying to charge me outrageous prices or simply were not accepting me because of a few accidents that were not my fault. I had automatic payments and had no problems canceling …

  139. This is one of the worst insurance companies by far I do not even know why I have stuck with them for 3 1/2 years they have screwed me over twice. They change your policy on you they up your rates. And when it comes time that you have had …

  140. This is an insurance company I found in a quick hurry decision. I needed insurance and I can’t even recall how I came across them. I gave them one star just bc I had no lower choice. In the year I have been with them I have had so many …

  141. go with anybody else, the worst insurance ever. please, believe all the reviews. i used them for my previous car and they took FOREVER to respond, and they totaled my car out when it definitely was NOT a total loss. i now know this, as a more experienced car owner. please, do not give these people business.

  142. I’ve had nothing but issues with this company. When my agent bundled my policy everything was good to go and then the day I went to switch policies they increased my policy amount. Now I’ve had this insurance for 2 weeks and my payments …

  143. worst insurance company ever, and very shady. You have to stay on top of your account or your policy will be canceled without notice. Had that happened to me and they send a letter to the DMV stating that I did not have insurance which cause my license to be suspended. Hate them.

  144. Never heard of this insurance group before and recommend that you STAY AWAY from this particular company. Had one of their insured drivers hit my vehicle and proven photos and the drivers insurance card and they swindled out of the claim that was filed against them, not we have to pursue their client personally.

  145. I paid my 6 month policy in full and explicitly told them not to renew. They said it would be noted and would not auto-renew. 6 months later I get a letter in the mail saying I have a payment going to collections. If you needed me to cancel …

  146. I have a claim since OCTOBER 2021 and still has not been resolved. Never did I get a call from my adjuster or attempted to help. I had to always call supervisor for assistance. Worst adjusters I have had to deal with. Have been trying to …

  147. DO NOT GET THIS INSURANCE!!!!
    If I could give zero stars I would. These people don’t even deserve one star.
    I have been on a constant struggle with these people since February. My account …

  148. I did the cancellation on this insurance and they activated it again for January and now them want me to pay $900+. NEVER GET THIS INSURANCE THEY ARE THE WOST INSURANCE AND YOU HAVE TO PAY A LOT, YOU’LL WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY AND PATIENCE. …

  149. Way overpriced. Also if you pass they will refuse to cancel the policy and continue to charge you for several months and your survivors will need to call dozens of times to get your policy canceled and stop being billed for it.

  150. The worst customer service ever they don’t understand what you’re asking and don’t listen either even talk to a manager I will spend the rest of the day finding another insurance company that will listen to their customers buyer beware don’t use this company or Farmwra they even went up on my rate without notifying me ..

  151. Wrongful Cancelations. This company claims that my bank denied payment… I went to my bank said theNow that it’s Now that it’s been more than a that it’Now that it’s been more than a month theyNow that it’s been more than a month they will …

  152. Today is Sunday & even though I would prefer not to sit here & write a review about this Horrendous Insurance Company I realized that it’s necessary after reading some of the reviews that this is actually what the company is about & that a …

  153. Current policy holder. After obtaining my social security number and verifying my personal information, the agent learning about my inquiry had asked for payment information- which I had declined to provide. He had then apologized saying he …

  154. I have been a customer for years. The payment comes out days later than its suppose too. My insurance went up $176 and that’s outrageous. I am changing to progressive and its almost saving me $100 a month and my deductible will be $500 not $1,000. Do your research!

  155. Got my car taken from me because of them!!!

    I basically have to have an updated insurance to drive my car if not they would …

  156. This company is absolutely appalling. I have spent over an hour on hold. I updated my automatic payment method due to obtaining a new bank account. It was a few days before the payment is automatically drafted. The app stated due to the …

  157. They have agents that don’t know there job and every time you talked with someone they told you something different as well as their rates was high. I was with Bristol West from 2019 to 2022 with no accidents no tickets or any claims as …

  158. They are a good bare bones insurance. Don’t expect to much customer service but if you just want someone to insure you and leave you alone these are your guys

  159. they lied about the quote they gave me than made up a lie that i got a “car accident” on my license in 2018 which was a ticket 🎫 my one & only ticket! 🤦🏻‍♀️ …

  160. Refusing to pay insurance claim and currently going through a lawsuit. Don’t trust this company to pay your at-fault claims they don’t respect simple evidence. This is considered discrimination and is very fraud. This company this very fraudulent

  161. Very expensive for starters. Not to mention your insurance is not suppose to go up on a no fault claim my son was hit by a car and due to him having to go to the doctor off my insurance my rates went up 100.00 I really do not understand

  162. I don’t recommend this insurance company at all. Had me back and forth from the shop to the dealer to not cover something that should be covered, no follow up. They simply are bad

  163. I must say, this Insurance Company is great, my car insurance dropped over $175 a month from Geico and Progressive, They are quick at handling Claims, great Customer Service

  164. If I could give zero stars I would. This is a shifty company and they don’t even defend you. So you’re making premium payments for them to tell you that they are not liable to tell you anything and for them to make your premium go up without defending you.

  165. I have had many issues prior with bristol west but today I must have came across the right person. Samuel Fischer was absolutely amazing and the most helpful I have spoken with out of the group. He made it seem like a breeze with the issues …

  166. They insured a car I didn’t have, couldn’t find my policy that I paid 6 months for. Drove around uninsured without knowing and I’ve been trying to cancel for 2 days now and they send me to 3 numbers and all of then try to get off the phone. I hate then. Every single one of then. Worst place ever

  167. This by far is the worst insurance company ever!!! Please find a different insurance company if you can, customer service is terrible, and raise up rates for no apparent reason!! I have no accidents or tickets. Please do your due diligence and go find a different insurance company. Respectfully.

  168. I have been with Bristol West for 17 years now. They are less than half of other insurance companies but get the same level of service. During that time I had to file 2 claims. Both were paid without any problems.

  169. I have problems with my bill all the time. I pay on time eveytime because my payment is automatically charged to a credit card with a high limit so I know for my own peace of mind that my insurance is covered. For the last two cycles they …

  170. If you have them, pray to whatever God you believe in if any that you never get into a single incident, otherwise they’ll do the LEAST they can do if anything at all, and then if ANYTHING they do helps you and pays out, they’ll drop you. So be prepared. They did that with me.

  171. They are horrible. If you need to make changes to your policy you can only make one change every 24 hours so for example if you needed to add a car and driver you could either add the car or the driver but not both at the same time. You …

  172. Company is a fraud. I submitted well documented collision claim for $350. Company refused to pay because they “were unable to secure information necessary to move forward with processing claim”. This is a total lie. They have everything …

  173. Don’t do it! I’ve been with them for over 6 months. There computer systems will absolutely go down while you’re trying to pay your bill! 2 times for me! Threatened me with a lapse of coverage! Now tonight i call them for roadside …

  174. These guys are a scam. My girlfriend pays all this money per month, got rear ended, and these clowns want an extra 1000 dollar deductible and wont even pay for a rental. Whats the point then? And to top it all off they’re based in Florida. So that should tell you everything you need to know right there.

  175. Absolute SCAM !!!
    After calling and confirming the amount I paid for 6 months worth of car insurance up front so that I wouldn’t have to deal with making a payment for the next 6 …

  176. Worst possible insurance group to become involved with. Sign up for auto pay, they don’t take it, so they can charge you a late charge, or attempt to cancel your coverage with the state. Try calling to make a payment, and there is no valid …

  177. This is the worst insurance company I’ve ever dealt with. I asked for one type of insurance they gave me another. And when I tried to have them correct there mistake they charged me. They misspelled my name on my account from the …

  178. Please read. Honestly prior to obtaining this insurance I was extremely skeptical based of the reviews but I needed an affordable insurance. This company do have some of the lowest quotes. …

  179. Nobody knows what’s going on until it’s time to collect money. Not sure how their allowed to scam people the way they do. If I could give them zero stars I would.

  180. Mercedes’ Benz dealers do not accept bristol west insurance this is by far the worst company to insure your property with they give you the run around and take money out of your account when payments aren’t due this is nothing short of a …

  181. Don’t recommend that insurance company is to many issues for payment I setup the automatic payment so when’s time to the due day the account is always Nsf for then because my account have enough money!!! When I call for make …

  182. Awful company. First of all they charge an exhorbitante amount for insurance. Also on my second to last month of coverage, they charged my debit card twice. When the error was brought to their attention they said they would refund me by check that they would send out in a week and would take another week to arrive at my home.

  183. Terrible experience. 100 percent do not recommend. I cancelled my policy at the 6 month renewal time. To switch over to farmers insurance witch is the main vein for Bristol west. I cancelled with them and the. Paid farmers. Bristol charged …

  184. I was hit by someone with BW insurance. They use enterprise rental, and I went through them to reserve a compact. It should have been a full size at least since I drive a wagon. Anyway, Enterprise doesn’t have any and is now charging me for …

  185. This has to be the worst insurance company that exists on this planet. Their claims department is a disaster. It took their appraiser, Virgil Cocho, TWO WEEKS to respond to the auto shop about the difference in between estimates and yet …

  186. I bought a policy from bristol west insurance group and I paid for 2 months at first time and then they didn’t sent me bill although I asked many times and then the charged me for paying late while it wasn’t my problem and the …

  187. They lie and cause problems that they won’t help you fix! I’ve had to reinstate my license twice because of Bristols scams. I highly recommend using a different company if you don’t want problems.

  188. For starters they are cheaper than most insurance companies out there, but they are liars. They will increase the premium than what is stated on the declaration page. It’d have been best to go with a another more trust worthy insurance company than one that will lie to your face.

  189. I will save you the headache by posting this review before you consider doing business with this company. Every employee sounds so miserable over the phone and very rude. If your trying to come in contact with an agent and you do have a …

  190. This has been the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. The communication between departments dealing with our claim is ridiculous. Adjuster says one thing claim specialist says they never were told. We are over a month and …

  191. Absolutely horrible experience. Been with them for years. Tried to make a payment over the weekend. They said there closed. They put in writing call this number 24hr a day 7 days a week in writing on there bull. But then they say there …

  192. It’s been a year since my crash, I was not reimbursed any money from my crash in which their client was at fault, good luck contacting them. They are better at dodging calls than doing their job. Biggest scam of an insurance. Don’t waste your money.

  193. Complete scam of a company. Hoping they go under soon. They wouldn’t even reason with my agent about a mistake THEY made! After a back and forth of about 4+ hours – they finally agreed to make the necessary changes that were being requested …

  194. Their phone line hung up and you have to repeat the whole call when we already spoke to someone… They just need a better system and know who to transfer the calls to the correct department. Does not make sense to ask for a phone number to …

  195. Wish I would’ve seen all the reviews before transferring to them. Every employee says something different. They won’t let you talk to a supervisor. I’ve called 5 times in one week and still can’t get my issue fixed. They almost cancelled my …

  196. If I could rate lower I would they were great in the beginning, after selling my car that I had a policy on, I needed to cancel my insurance. (Obviously because I didn’t have the vehicle anymore) I then notify them. Everything was supposed …
