I was rear ended and seriously injured by a Grange insured trucking Co that had serious safety violations and should never of been on the highway. The Co. had tags expired for 2 years prior, lots of safety violations ,yet Grange insured them anyway. Been a nightmare and very stressful last 4 yrs filing lawsuits against Grange and we have a jury trial approaching. Grange has a whole team of in house attorneys that fight claims. They are totally unreasonable.. worst insurance around. Their attorneys have openly lied to the Court, encouraged their insured to lie and fabricate Falsified inspection documents, and have committed Fraud on the Court, by submitting counterfeit docs. I feel more victims need to come forward and hire a fighting trial attorney(not a settlement attorney) and sue this dishonest Insurance Co. Knowledgeable victims can also file bad faith lawsuits against Grange( many states have these provisions now), and file complaints with their states dept of insurance oversee-ers

My parents have Grange. From reading their reviews I am not sure why anyone does. My children were injured by a drunk driver who hit my parents car. The drunk driver’s insurance was exhausted and my parents pay grange for 300,000 in uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance. Grange refuses to pay a penny to any of the three who were injured and of course we will have to retain an attorney. This has to be the worst insurance company to have ever existed. I hope people start checking reviews before paying this non legit rip off for insurance because they will screw you. I am sure they are going to reply with some fake concern but I am sure we will still end up in court.

I had an accident in which the other driver had Grange insurance. It took them close to 2 months to contact me and discuss the accident and then they are only paying for part of the damage not all. It was very frustrating. I had to use my own insurance to cover the rest of the damage caused by their driver and their claims representative were very rude when it comes to discussing the matter.

I was hit by a person who has grange Insurance I was at a complete stop the person called Grange and explained it was her fault a few days later I had an adjuster come out and look at my car and cut my a check right then for my damages. Me and my passenger was hurt we went to the urgent Care then a few days later we went to a Chiropractor I did treatment for about 3months. I retained an attorney for my personal injury I finished treatment in Sept we are in January and they seem to not want to pay my settlement they asked me to do a recorded statement of treatment with my attorney and the adjuster in Decemeber and as I was leaving she stated to me that she will have this all done my Christmas well we are in the new Year and nothing yet my Kids didn’t have a Christmas that we were expecting to have since I am out of work right now. No one has called my attorney back like they are trying to delay offering me an amount to settle. I am so disappointed and frustrated how they are dragging this along. Bad Customer service

to sum it up, this company is just awful…..
several days ago, my car was vandalized by an unknown party. when i called to file a claim, they told me they would send out someone to give ma an estimate on the repair cost. it took them 2 days to send someone out. and when they finally did, all he did was stand there and accuse me of claiming damages that he didn’t think was caused by the vandalism. to sum it up short, there were copper wiring wrapped around my windshield wipers, my driver side mirror was completely busted and several scratches were made on the door itself, there were several cracks and chips on my windshield and a broken beer bottle shards all over my car. while i was explaining these damages to the claims person this is what he said “OK so even though there are other scratches on your car, you are claiming these scratches?” then i told him that i am telling you about these scratches because it is part of the damages caused, then he went on and said ” there are similar scratches all around the car, and i don’t understand how these scratches are from the beer bottles.” even after i explained that beer bottles were not the only item that made the damage, he just didn’t seem to understand. even after i showed him the picture of the wires and other garbage thrown on the car, all he kept on telling me was he doesn’t think these scratches came from the beer bottle….i never said the scratches came from the beer bottle, only that my car was scratches by the vandals. he didn’t even seem to care about the more significant damages, just those scratches… does he think i’m trying to make false claim on scratches?, while my windshield and mirrors are all busted? maybe he had some scratch fetish, i do not know but i do know that grange insurance should hire a bit more educated employees in the future. all i can say is that this whole experience was a pain in my ass and i was offended to say the least. it made me realize how disappointing this company is and i do not see my self with grange insurance much longer in the future.

Beyond disappointed with Grange auto insurance. I’ve been a faithful customer for 5 years when I got into a fender bender in a parking garage. It was my fault, but we filed a claim with both of our insurance companies. Shortly after, I get a call from his company claiming that I am an “uninsured driver” and will have to pay the bill for the damage out of my own pocket. Dumbfounded, I called grange asking what the deal was and they told me that since I’m in the military and haven’t actually resided at my LEGAL PERMANENT RESIDENCE for more than a year, I’m not covered. So I’ve been a faithful paying customer to a company who refuses to do anything when I actually need them. They refuse to budge or work with me at all. I will be filing a lawsuit for the payments I’ve been making all this time that I apparently haven’t been covered. Such a disgrace of a company and I would not recommend them to my worst enemy. I feel betrayed, screwed over and broke because I don’t have the money to pay for the repairs.

I guess insurance companies are allowed to dictate where you can and cannot take your vehicle to be repaired. I do not feel that it is fair that an insurance company can push you away from a shop of your choice by refusing to pay the amount the shop charges, and if the individual (myself) does not cover the difference, your car would not be repaired there, which is what Three C Body Shop stated.
Three C Body Shop would not have repaired my vehicle unless I agreed to pay the labor rate difference as Grange would not and I would have had to take my vehicle to a different shop. If I wanted to go to the shop of my choice, which I did, I thought it was the law that insurance companies are not able to tell you what shops you can and cannot take your vehicle to for repairs, then they should cover the labor rate cost from Three C Body Shop. Grange, through refusing to pay the entire labor rate for the repairs, was in their way preventing me from taking my car to the shop of my choice which I knew was going to do quality work, right, the first time. The ball was in my court, and if I did not agree to pay the labor rate difference to Three C, I would have had to take my vehicle elsewhere. I do not know how many people would actually pay the difference that Grange would not pay to have their vehicle repaired, and I probably would not have either and would have gone to a different shop to prevent me from having to pay out of my own pocket for something that was not my fault in the first place if I had not had experiences with other shops in the Columbus, Ohio area. My family has taken vehicles to shops Grange “prefers” to have repairs done, and we have been back three times because these preferred shops cannot do proper work, take short cuts which has caused the paint to peal off the car time after time, several years after the repairs are made. This was not something I was going to do with a $40,000 car that is less than 2 years old.
I would also like to further state that Three C Body Shop has informed me they are paid by numerous other insurers the entire $50 an hour labor rate and this has been their rate for several years now.
I do not feel this is right for an individual to be stuck with a charge when they go to the shop of their choice when insurance companies are not going to cover the entire labor rate. I understand the repair charges that were not required that Grange did not pay, but the actual labor rate to do the work I feel is unacceptable.
If you get hit by someone with Grange Insurance, I hope you do not have a nice car or are happy with cheap/corner cutting repairs.

Thank you for taking the time to share your comments. Customers always have the right to choose whichever repair shop they’d like to repair their vehicle. Grange follows a standard industry practice to pay the market labor rate. If customers choose a repair shop that’s charging more than the market labor rate, they’re responsible for the difference. We do have a list of carefully selected repair shops that we’ve inspected and determined that they maintain our high standards for providing the highest quality repairs at a fair price. These preferred shops work with us to assess the damage to the vehicle, create an estimate and complete the repairs quickly for our customers. We’re very confident in our preferred repair shops. In fact, Grange backs the work of our preferred shops with our own written guarantee for as long as the customer owns or leases their vehicle. We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and we appreciate your feedback.

Got screwed by Granger for 2 years after I bumped an AMC eagle with hitch mounted to his aluminum bumper . Granger paid out $660.00 to repair and increased my insurance so I paid that over and above my previous premium 3 times over each year for two years . I left Granger and saved a bundle.

I’m an employee of Grange Insurance and have read through the reviews here and they are pretty spot on. As a claim adjuster for this company, I can say that management encourages that claims be paid as low as possible and there is no room for negotiation. Having worked for other insurance companies in the past where an adjuster had the freedom to adjust a claim and handle claims accordingly and stepping into the micro-managed world of Grange is a disappointment. They preach customer service and part of your review is based on customer service scores, yet they don’t understand or I should say they refuse to understand that your hands are tied and the scores that you are given as an adjuster do not reflect your work, but the rules that Grange has set in place making good customer service almost impossible. It would be nice for some people who know and understand insurance to take over this company and turn it around. It would be a shame to see a company that has been around for this amount of time and that is also an American run company get ruined by people who only care about their pockets. Here’s the kicker, the company does not give bonuses to claim adjusters, but the claim managers do get bonuses. The other companies I’ve worked for have always given a yearly bonus and sometimes there were would be an extra bonus thrown in just because it’s been a good year.

I just hopped right out of this company’s auto insurance after two screw ups in a row on their clerical end. With minor stuff messed up I’m not about to trust this outfit with anything major. The agent was robot-like with smiley attitude and a do-nothing follow through. On getting the insurance in the first place they did not notify DMV, and I had to do that runaround myself, and they did not follow through to explain why not or whether they would get it together in the future. Second they lost my recent payment, which was sent in early, or they misplaced it, then on enquiry said I might need to pay a late penalty, even with the mailing date and check date 10 days early. Next, after I stopped that payment and cancelled the policy, and they had sent a cancellation notice to me, they went ahead and tried to cash my stopped check. These people are either amateurs or up very poor at customer relations. Be warned that cheap may not be worth the extra hassle!

Grange Insurance is a rip off. My car was hit while parked in a high speed police chase and this insurance company tried offering me such a low amount. My car had every option possible and was in above average condition. They are rude and told me to take what they were giving me or do what I need to do. I couldn’t believe it. I did hire an appraiser fron a private company and now I am waiting to find out what the price of the car was agreed on. I can’t wait to get rid of grange and go to an honest company.

I have been a customer of Grange insurance for over 25 years. I have never missed a premium, and always kept my property in good repair. Recently, I filed a claim for wind damage (a tree fell on our neighbors roof after a wind storm) for 3000 dollars. 4 weeks later, Grange “declined” to extend my policy, no explanation given. We were shocked at the utter disregard and lack of professionalism shown by Grange. Where Grange was once a decent, upstanding business, they are now nothing more than a cheap backstreet fly by night.
Almost immediately, we found alternate insurance, and we now save over 700 hundred dollars a year.
So my advice to you (if your looking for insurance) is to sign with anyone, and I mean anyone other than Grange Insurance.
And BTW….I have lots of friends and I take every opportunity to let them know what a crappy mismanaged place Grange really is.

This marks the first time I have had to file an accident claim since I began driving 35 years ago. I really had no idea of what to expect. My Grange Claims Representative has been extremely helpful in guiding me through the entire process. He has been very responsive in returning emails and telephone calls, and has provided informative insight into what was required to keep things moving. I would gladly recommend Grange to any family members or friends looking for automobile insurance.

My husband and I have always used the big name companies, yes the ones you see on TV but we always felt like just another monthly payment. When we decided to go with Grange, we were a bit skeptical but after my husband’s accident if you want to call it that, everyone from our customer care rep Mary to our very sweet adjuster Jessica T. was so unbelievably patient and courteous. I was beyond impressed by it all. I didn’t even have time to stress about it, they handled it that promptly. Would definitely recommend their services.

I’m not a Grange customer but was recently involved in an accident with one of their insured . . . and I can’t say enough good things about the service I’ve received from their agent Stephani Lishman.
These days “Customer Service” all too often means having to double check and follow-up on everything yourself, but I knew from our first contact that such would not be the case with Stephani. Her thoroughness and attention to detail immediately set my mind at ease and every aspect of the claim was handled with refreshing efficiency and professionalism.
In light of my recent experience, I’ll certainly be giving Grange an opportunity to quote when the time comes to renew/replace my existing auto policy.

Grange is the worst insurance! They fight almost all claims or cheat claimants out of the value of their damages. Their adjusters seem like online bill collectors treating claimants with malice and vindictiveness, and deceptions..Do your own research and appraisals and you don’t have to take their BIASED low ball offers… file suit in small claims court yourself, many states now have new puntive damages awards called “bad faith laws”, that courts can grant on top of your damages, to protect claimants from abusive Insurance co’c like Grange.

This company is the worst. I was rear ended by their insured. They wont offer me a reasonable amount on my car accident. They make me feel like I am a worthless piece of crap when I talk to them. I would never do business with this company. My accident was in 2011 and we are almost at the end of the two year period and we can’t agree to a reasonable amount. I got a lawyer and they offered less. Looks like we will have to go to court.

Grange is the worst. After 25 years of sending these people my hard earned money, they dumped me. It seems that my 2 rental homes (both well maintained and excellent properties) were no longer needed, so they dumped my HO, my auto, my boat policy, and my 2 rental properties. They didn’t even have the courteousy to call my Agent before I received a “cancelled” letter from the home office. STAY AWAY from GRANGE. Horrible company and shameful.

Never had to turn a claim into this company that my wife and I I had for over 10 years, Accident free no tickets or accidents. Went to add on older car and add my 21 yr old daughter and son-in-law to my policy and they shot my premium up almost double. Found a much better company willing to have the same coverage I had with Grange plus add my older car and daughter and son-in-law for only an extra 24 dollars a month more. Couldn’t have made a better decision about leaving this company especially after reading all the other negative comments on here.

So far so good. I moved here from Washington about a year and a half ago and had not heard of Grange insurance before. There were not that many reviews on them and what there were, were not that good. The price was way better that SF, All, Nat, Gei or Farm so on my agents advice I went with Grange. I did use their help when I needed a rental car after a SF driver hit me and SF would not give me a rental car until their client admitted guilt to them. Rather than wait a week I turned in the claim on my own insurance and let them fight it out with SF. Good deal because then I was back on the road with a rental car. Great price, good agent and I felt they needed some current feedback. Bobby

Stay away from grange. I was with them for years with an excellant payment history. Last month I was two weeks late on a payment and they dropped me from coverage. Not only did they drop me but they didn’t have the decency to even call and tell me. I found out weeks later when i got a refund check in the mail so i was driving around uninsured for several weeks. Disgraceful

I was recently in a three car auto accident where the Grange customer was at fault. The driver was cited and even in the police report, admitted he was the one at fault. I contacted Grange because I needed a rental car for work since mine was no longer drivable. I called Grange on Monday, they had me talk to 4 different people, none of which were the adjuster assigned to my claim. (Still have not talked to the person assigned to my claim.) They told me Monday that they had to talk to all parties that were involved before they could issue me a rental, even though their client took blame. I called Tuesday, same thing. Went to Enterprise car rental to see if they may have better luck…..NOPE, of course not. I have not received one phone call from Grange and when I call, I get the run-around. Here it is Thursday, and I still have not received a call and no adjuster has even went to look at my car. Like the people before me, I guess to finally get them to listen, you have to get an attorney. I didn’t want it to come to this, but it has. I have missed work, did not make it to my 4th of July family reunion, and have had my stress go through the roof. I will update next week if any changes, good or bad.

My mother was recently hit by someone insured under Grange and the car was totaled (it was the other driver’s fault). The car was paid off and had all the maintence needed for the next 100,000 miles, but Grange initially offered us just less than $2200. My parents can’t afford to make car payments because they are helping pay for my college and I am already taking out loans, and now Grange has screwed us over and wants to offer us a laughable amount. Don’t support a company that treats people like this, and if your ever hit by someone with Grange, contact an attourney right away.

Daughter just got rear ended by Grange insured driver. It was a multi-car situation but my daughter had stopped without hitting anyone. The Grange insured driver hit my daughters vehicle so hard it drove her into the person in front of her. That person drove off (likely no insurance). Now Grange won’t pay until they can reach that person….but guess what? They refuse to answer calls. Look out if you are rear ended by a Grange insured motorist. They look for every way not to pay, any based on comment above, we’ll probably be in court, too.

I was hit by a Grange client who ran a red light on December 21st. I had to have my car towed for repair. My insurance, Indiana Farm Bureau, initiated the claim and arranged for a rental. A Grange claims agent did not contact me until December 27th and immediately voiced a concern about rental time. The agent told me I had to go through Indiana Farm Bureau since they started the claim, which I later found out was not true. My agent had trouble contacting Grange and asked if they had accepted liability.
Grange was slow in accepting liability, sending their claims adjuster and following up on what needed to be taken care of which delayed getting my car serviced. They refused to cover car rental and I have to go through Indiana Farm Bureau to pay for rental. My car won’t be ready until January 31st. Indiana farm Bureau has to go after Grange to get the rental fee back but has cut off my rental because of a 30 day limit on my policy. I am left with 10 days without a rental that will be not paid by either insurance. BEWARE OF GRANGE!

I recently switched to grange and i was a little unsure what to expect if I really need to use my insurance. My 17 year old daughter wrecked her car and they claims adjuster Keith Scroggins was wonderful! He had me in a rental the next day and my daughter’s car will be fixed in 2 weeks! that is awesome! I have never had such speedy service like this. I will definitely keep my insurance through them. The adjuster was very polite and professional. Thank you for making my daughter’s first wreck go so smoothly.

Grange is a responsive insurance provider with very competitive rates within its industry. I’ve investigated my auto insurance rates several times against a whole host of competing companies and found their rates to be far and above less expensive.
Upon discussing my rates with an agent, I’ve found that by varying the amount of coverage per accident and per person, I’ve been able to obtain a comparable rate. In my case, I was counseled that by increasing my deductible that I could lower my premium (and I appreciated that the sales representative that I deal with was willing to share this kind of information).
Grange’s website has an online billing capability that also gives their customers easy access to pay all their policies; however, the user is forced to remember the amount of the bill upon entering the billing interface. Otherwise, I’ve found that its very easy to find the section of the site where payments are made, and then complete the online payment process. I’ve never had a claim with Grange, but I have worked with them in servicing my other insurance needs.
Grange’s representative has been responsive to my billing concerns, and has reevaluated my rates on several incidences in response to my requests. While progressive, state farm, gmac, and the like claim to give favorable rates on their web-based advertising, I’ve always found that their rates are less than overwhelming. I would recommend Grange to my friends, and have done so, solely based upon their excellent customer service.
Never having had a claim with them, I have yet to (and hopefully never will) be witness to their claims department’s practices. However, the company’s perceived strengths and competencies in the areas of billing and customer service are reassuring to customers who are often treated indifferently by other servicers.
Paper bills sent by the Grange are typically complete and accurate. They do not seem to include a lot of additional advertising or verbiage that would be wasteful or environmentally irresponsible. It is important to me that companies not waste large amounts of paper as part of their billing practices.
At 75 years of age, Grange Mutual Casualty Company is a billion dollar plus provider with a tradition of serving the needs of 13 different states. I’m glad that they service mine. Their website describes their vision of a hassle free experience for the customer; from my perspective, they’ve achieved that goal.

Lord, you better never hope you have a claim. This sounds like it was written by the company. Who else cares about stuff that is in the last paragraph? These people are a menace to the entire country – they provoke unnecessary lawsuits by low-balling all claims no matter how meritorious. They are hateful and snippy and apparently train their adjusters to be hard to deal with. Personal experience. Claims should be your number one consideration and these people are terrible.

An insured of Grange rear ended me. In trying toresolve this matter we had no desire to involve an attorney. Maleen and others in the claims department treated my case less with good customer service and more like we were adversaries. This caused me to now seek representation rather then try to resolve this on my own.

Since our accident I have made every attempt to resolve our case, but each time I do the claims adjuster shows another side to her already cold hearted manners. We have over 50,000 in medical bills. they dont want to pay all our bills even though their insured rear ended us with his semi. Now they have offered us 65,000 and said not one penny more. You tell me, do you think thats fair when I am still under medical care for injuries related to the accident and have made every attempt to compromise.

I bought a bundle insurance package with Grange three cars and the house, when the well collapsed they told me I had a potential claim when the insurance adjuster spoke with me and the well workers he could not get the information straight and continued to ask the same questions over and over giving me the impression he was stalling till he could figure a way out of paying the claim.With two hundred thousand dollars of bundled insurance they would not pay a five thousand dollar claim, that took a week with no water for two weeks. I am looking for insurance now with a name I can depend on. Mike

I have car and house insurance with Grange. I had heard about them from a friend, that said she’d had them for years, and the price alone couldn’t be beat. Plus, they had always treated her nice, on top of it.
I used an insurance broker to find me the best deal on insurance rates. Being I’m on a fixed income, I needed to save money, with no COLA raise for SS, for the next 2 years (at least).
By using a broker, they did all the hard work for me. I wasn’t checking emails or taking notes on rates and such. He did it all for me.
I was amazed at the price, compared to what I was paying, with a company I had had for over 20 years. And they were raising my rates, with the next bill. When I let them know I was cancelling, THEN they said they would lower my rate to what Grange was offering, to keep me as a client. I said “”no thanks, you missed your chance at keeping me as a customer.””
They take my payment right out of my checking acct, every month. Every month, I know the day it will come out, with no worry of it being one minute late, and being canceled. Every month, they send me a new schedule of payment cost for the next few months. These are easy to read and understand. They have easy online access, if I need to change something or report a problem.
If I have an accident, I just call my broker who can handle it, or Grange. The choice is mine. Same goes for my home insurance. They also took into consideration, that I had a newer roof, new electrical work, dead bolts, new furnace/AC and hot water tank. Little did I know, things like this can lower your rate.
I recently had to add my son to my car insurance. The cost was fantastic, no complaint on that. Within a few days, the new papers arrived in my mailbox. They are fast.
