  32. What a joke of a company. Their driver hit my car and they come up with lies to only accept 85% of the blame. They clearly only insure deadbeat drivers with poor driving records. Do not ever get insurance with these clowns and I hope no one ever gets the misfortune of getting hit by someone insured by these con artists.

  33. Worst customer service I have ever received. Once my policy runs out I will definitely be choosing a new insurance company regardless of cost.

  37. If you like throwing money in the trash, go with Founders, they make sure when you get into an accident that its a really awful experience.

  130. This is worst insurance company ever.. customer service is zero. I had an accident on friday which is 11/5/2021. They didn’t pick up for the whole day, I called on Monday, after fifteen to twenty minutes, the line would cut. The answer …

  131. Horrible low rate insurance company! Their client hit my truck & took responsibility for the damages to my truck. It the the non professional claims agent no more than 5 mins to say that they were sending out a denial letter, without any investigation whatsoever.

  137. Absolutely terrible. They bully you into going to one of their shops to have repairs completed even if they do not payout anything on the claim in the end. Their shops are incompetent – repair with poor quality parts and shoddy workmanship. …

  138. Finding local “influencers” to give you a good rating doesn’t count as following proper insurance practices. This is not even a typical insurance company – wrought with issues. Spoke to the IL dept of insurance to file a formal complaint …

  146. I had the misfortune of being rear-ended by one of their policy holders. It’s been two weeks and I’ve yet to actually speak to my adjuster despite several emails and calls. My voicemails are not returned. I can never be transferred to anyone else in the claims department and the line often hangs up on its own when calling.

  147. My car was totaled and the insurance is not trying to help me neither is the financial company either. I offered to withdraw the claim and just return my car back to me. They will not return my vehicle at all. I’m still paying on a vehicle …

  148. In all of my years of carrying auto insurance, this has got to be the worst company we’ve ever used. The customer service is definitely the worst. You cannot get anyone to return your calls nor ever talk with anyone. They call and leave …

  159. Worst Insurance Company out there, no phones are ever answered and there is a soul in there that cares about you or your car. they are all about their money and ignoring the customer. I HIGHER RECOMMEND A DIFFERENT INSURANCE COMPANY.

  160. This company is a joke. Some with this insurance hit me while I was parked almost 4 months ago. Called countless times and left atleast a dozen voicemails and still haven’t heard back. Hopefully you don’t get involved in an accident with someone with this insurance.

  161. I have had it with this Company.I must Move on!! Lousy Customer service and I can’t get My 💰 Money Back. I would Fire everyone All Claims Adjuster !! “Period” …

  163. In December of 21′ Founders Insurance cancelled my auto policy for non-payment, even though I had direct deposit receipts showing I paid. After an hour of talking on the phone with them offering no help in this situation, I hung up. I …

  164. This company is horrible. Won’t return calls. Give the run around, and on top of all that. “They are all rude( for the most part), very rude”. Everybody tells you that they are a team, so there’s not any resolution. It took me almost …

  165. This company is a scam, they’ll take your monthly payments and thank you for it, they will also cancel your policy why still collecting your monthly payments. God forbid you damage your vehicle, you’ll have to chase someone from Founders …

  166. Pray that you never get hit by someone who has this insurance. My neighbor hit my car almost a month ago and has this as his car insurance. After I made the claim I got a call from Mayra Garcia about the claim. She asked me a few questions …

  167. the absolute worst insurance company I have ever had to deal with. They waste your time, don’t respond in a timely (or coherent) manner. They give you the run around and don’t cover things as simple as a rental car when their client was the …

  168. The absolute worst insurance company ever. They never respond back, they fight you on claims you report and are extremely rude. I don’t know how they are still in business. Run I mean run if you are looking for coverage from this company.

  169. My experience with Founders insurance was great until I had an accident and I needed Founders to do what I’ve paid for, for a year. The claims rep Karen Talmege doesn’t return calls or emails and the claims call center says they can’t do …

  170. Founders insurance company is the worst insurance company ever. We are dealing with them currently and I have decided to go ahead and start documenting how bad my experience has been so far. They will not answer phone unless you literally …

  171. Just RUN. I repeat RUN Away from this insurance company. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DO ANY BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY. You might as well forget about them being like traditional insurance companies. They will do everything they can to NOT PAY YOUR CLAIMS.

  172. This is the worst insurance ever if you want to waste your money. No one answers in the phone and if you try reclaim oh no you pay and then we can talk why I waste my money full coverage if I need to pay.

  173. I had a really great experience with my current claim. I was handled with timely service and clear communication. These situations can be such a hassle and this time around it was no where near a headache.

  174. If I could give no stars I would. How are these people still in business? I’ve been trying to get a resolution on my claim for over two months. They never call back, they give you the run around. In summary, do not use this company!!!!

  175. Worse insurance company ever 😡😡 they are rude and take forever to pay you. Their client rear-ended me in June of 2021. It took them almost 2 months to reimburse me for my rental that they should have been paying for and I’m yet to be compensated for my injuries, that I’m still being treated for!! …

  176. Been going on almost 3 weeks now for my claim and still haven’t heard anything about my car. Definitely going to switch insurance this is ridiculous worst insurance ever

  177. Still waiting for case from 2021 to be determined for their client’s Hit & Run! Seems like Ricardo doesn’t know how to escalate with his staff or client responsibly.

  180. Worst company ever I had a claim with them and it’s been 2 months back and forth for nothing they don’t respond to voice mail or emails and you can’t even talk to someone else besides the adjusters which she’s never available this is …

  181. Well , great website works well. Founders on the other hand can’t do two things in one day. Get your policy reinstated and add a car and remove one nope they can’t do that in one day. They’ll take your payment but they can’t add a car. You got to wait a day for that. Can’t do two things in one day? I’ll go somewhere else that will.

  184. If I could give these crooks a 0, I would. Their customer rear ended me. The police determined that it was his fault, and for 6 weeks they aren’t returning my calls. The adjuster poleszuk mateusz, and their manager, miss carter are …

  185. I was involved in an accident with someone that has Founders insurance and this has been the worst experience ever! The body shop repair estimate was about 4300, and Founders offered 1600. I spoke with Laura A. Corrales (claims rep) which …

  186. Do not purchase for yourself and pray you do not get into a fender bender with one of their insured. This is my second time around getting rear ended by someone with Founders. This time my adjuster is REFUSING to reimburse my nearly $3,000 …

  187. I’d give zero stars if I was able. Founders Insurance’s negligent driver damaged my car over 2 months ago. Good luck getting in contact with their adjuster, Matt Poleszuk. When I finally got a hold of him (he only called because I left …

  188. Worst insurance ever!! I have been dealing with them for 3 months for a accident that was not my fault. I’ve started documenting everything because this place just screams scam!! They don’t answer phone calls, don’t call back, and if you do …

  189. I’ve been waiting since September 2022 for my adjuster to get back with me, this company is a nightmare, I’m not sure why they are still in Business. They are giving me the run around, Hanway is giving me the run around, my God it shouldn’t take all of this to get a dent fix.

  190. I was in an accident on May 1st 2022. The lady damaged my entire passenger side, while flying through a red light. I reported it to Founders insurance (at fault driver’s insurance).. it is now June 18th 2022 and absolutely nothing has been …

  194. Absolutely terrible. My friend was in a small accident (hit an opossum) in November of 2022. He is STILL waiting, as of today, 1/4/23, to get his vehicle fixed. He has spent 1500 per month on a rental vehicle and this company won’t …

  195. Took 2 weeks to get an answer if my vehicle would be repaired or totalled and the estimate is still not complete. They only cover $300 foe rentals. They take their time to contact you. You have To hound them.

  196. Horrible! Got into an accident. When they issued the check, they issued it to my myself and my insurance company so I couldn’t cash the check. My insurance didn’t pay for anything so it should have only been paid to me. Still haven’t been able to recoup the money.

  197. I was involved in a wreck and the other people’s insurance are suing me but I can not get a hold of Founders for any help, I’ve called at least 100 times and it always goes straight to voice mail. If you need them to help you out good luck cause I’m starting to think they don’t care.

  198. They are horrible !! I been trying to pay off damages on a vehicle for months. I can never get in contact with the right person , they give me the run around. I leave voice messages for my claims rep and she never gets back to me. If they understood the importance of me getting my license back I wouldn’t have any complaints

  199. Deadbeat insurance company. Their insured hit my property and ran . Thankfully we caught it all on camera and he was charged. Of course after tens of thousands in damages. Been 3 weeks with no reply from the adjuster. Left several voice mails still no reply. It’s time to get bbb and attorney general involved .

  211. I see a lot of negative reviews of Founders from policy holders. Here’s a negative review from someone who was rear-ended by a Founders policy holder. The accident occurred in June 2022 and, due to supply chain issues, my car was …

  212. They do a good job of trying too get out of spending any real money on repairs and what car insurance company goes by pictures alone instead of having someone look at the damage done and seening what needs too be repaired!?!? I like how you …

  213. Absolute terrible insurance assistance, after 3 weeks since filing I have had zero helpful advice besides being told I could not be helped due to not having full coverage. I had to remind myself that I had injury coverage at least, …
