I'll be back

Insurance rates increased dramatically this year. However, your agents that I worked with in early January explained the reasons for the increase(s) and pointed out things I could do that may help improve/affect my future insurance costs. The agents I worked with were knowledgeable and showed interest in understanding my concerns and providing helpful satisfying responses. Thank you.

Incompetence alert

This company wrongly listed my house as a non primary, overcharged me by $800+, then repeatedly sends checks to cover the mistake but the checks never make it to me. It’s been over two months now. In 2024 I find it hard to believe they cannot send funds via ACH. Now I have had to choose between late payment fees or overdraft fees because citizens has my mortgage escrow wrongly inflated, and is playing games sending checks and losing them in the mail like it’s 1955. And while we are here , I have two friends each separately suing this company in attempts to get their roofs repaired. It’s stuff like this that has built the image of insurance being a total scam. The people of Florida would be better off without insurance requirements!! None of us would have it if it wasn’t forced on us.

Rear bumper dented while parked

We had a rear bumper dented and fascia paint scraped by a car while we were parked. I filed the claim online and took my car to the Gerber shop I selected from the Citizen website. The quote took less than 15 minutes to complete (including a secondary quote for the same car). Once I understood the Citizen process, it seems very understandable and manageable. We've had Gerber do work on another one of our cars. The repairs are undetectable after 10 years and 90,000 miles.

Citizens/ Hanover insurance is awesome

Citizens/ Hanover insurance is awesome! Super helpful! Had a lot of changes to auto policy this year with adding/ removing/ revising vehicles, and the team was efficient with all the adjustments. Thanks for being so quick to help!

Citizen the best

It was a real pleasure dealing with your people. I was amazed at the attention to detail, knowledge shown by all and quickness. I was also impressed with how you took care of related issues- rental vehicle and such. I’m happy!😃

The claims adjuster

The claims adjuster, Christopher Hackenberg, was great to work with. He explained everything very well and helped guide me through the process. He made a terrible situation much more tolerable and helped make me whole again. I'll never complain about paying an insurance bill again.
