Seriously thinking of changing from Farmers to AARP/Hartford car insurance
to get much cheaper rates when I upgraded my vehicle to a newer one. Googled AARP/Hartford auto insurance complaints Some real stunners! Was horrified! Then tried Geico, Farmers, Progressive, etc. Same thing. Seems there are problems with all of them? Guess I'll have to switch to taking cabs? -- "Where there's smoke there's toast!" Anon |

Then they were bought first by ach-criminal AIG, then by Farmers. The latter screwed me over big-time (long story); I didn't even find out about it until I checked my records 2 years later. Moral; Check your records often! As to Farmers, I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Wait a minute -- that's exactly who I WOULD recommend them to!!! HB |

Guess I'll have to switch to taking cabs? Insurance business is the biggest scam around. Insurance lobbyists have politicians in the palm of their hands. These whores -- er, politicians -- are the ones YOU (collectively) voted into office, sometimes repeatedly. Get your ass out there and study the candidates' records. Election day is November 4. The $$$ these corrupt lifers get from Big Insurance, Big Oil, Big Medicine, etc. is available online. All you have to do is take a few minutes to look. My favorite source for the skinny is **Vote Smart*** THE best totally NON-PARTISAN organization that lists it ALL, so you can make up your mind. A lot of people have to get out there to counteract the blank check the Supreme Court gave to gazillionaire reactionaries like the Koch brothers, et al via the "Citizens United" decision -- a barefaced sell-out of the voting process. So now we have the best government money can buy. I have supposedly smart friends who are so disgusted -- as are we all!! -- that they say they don't pay attention to politics. Well, kiddies, if you don't protect your rights, they're going down the toilet! Get real! HB |

It's called being voted out of office. But it takes work on the part of voters, who are big on complaining but not so big on organizing to get rid of crooks. BTW: Don't underestimate how hard it is for the few good guys in Congress to get anything done in this corrupt system. They have to log roll like crazy and make compromises that stink to their nostrils. A tough job if you have a grain of integrity. It helps to be in a safe district. OTOH, it also helps the crooks to be re-elected if THEY are in a safe district. HB Joe Taxpayer will suffer stronger consequences for exceeding the speed limit than politicians do for stealing billions from the taxpayers. The bald-faced liar that said "If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep your healthcare plan" should be serving prison time right now! How about the bald-faced liars under Bush that dragged us into two unwinnable Asian wars. Yellowcake. Tubes part of nuclear equipt. Chalabi, our sole (lying) source to invade. And on and one.Reading the ACTUAL RECORD of those criminals who were pulling puppet Bush's strings; thinking of our soldiers who died for those lies -- and for "wars" that were never winnable... makes you wonder who should be serving prison time right now!

I can't afford to fix the car and then sue them, so I might hire a lawyer as soon as I get a firm estimate from my local body shop. So no, I would not insure with them.

I've been using their insurance products continuously since 1977 and (unfortunately) have had several claims over those years on both my auto and home owner's policies. Without exception, in three widely different geographic areas, their service has been exemplary with respect to speed of service/settlement, quality of adjustors and recommended repair referrals, and fairness. Their rates are low compared with the competition. When considering their rates, you have to not only consider the quoted premium, but the fact that there are yearly partial premium rebates that offset the already low premiums paid.

I, as a service member established eligibility; my wife is eligible as my dependent; my children, and grandchildren are eligible as children of a member; my sisters are not eligible. There are a few instances where people who lack the nexus may get insurance, primarily a few states that require USAA to sell to them as a condition of doing business in that state. They are an excellent insurance company, and their bank and investment services are also top notch. |
