      Online website provides car insurance quote, requests banking account and routing number before signing to confirm the agreement. Once signed, the website redirects to a page saying that an agent will call. No agent called and when I called in, they advised a new quote that was 3 times the cost. It is concerning that i shared my private and secure banking information and signed for something that apparently was never a real offer. When trying to call in and fix the problem, agents and managerial staff kept sending me around and making me explain everything again and again. I was hung up on multiple times and made promises that another manager would call back, but that never happened. They took sensitive personal information without any intention of honoring what I had signed online.

      I opened an insurance policy, and they are charging me more than what was agreed upon prior to providing my debit account. I agreed to $155 and they are charging me ****** for the next payment, with the following payment being $186, and only agreed to the monthly payment of $155. I have contacted the business with no resolution. I am being charged a fee for the agent who sold me the insurance as well as Roadside Assistance they never told me was included. They keep mentioning it was on a recorded line, but will not provide the recorded phone calls, and believe they have unsent all of the emails they originally sent that I had saved as my proof.

      Were sorry to hear about your recent experience with our company. **************** is highly important for us. Reviewing the account, on 3/14/2025, ******* ******* "the insured", applied for car insurance through our agency, Freeway Insurance. The total down payment was $345.25, of which $250.25 went to the carrier, and the fully disclosed broker fee was $50. In addition, there was a $45 Tire Hazar product fee. The insured paid $250.25. The insured paid $250.25 in front and there was an authorized remaining balance for $95 to be charged to his account on or after 3/26/2025. On 4/07/2025, the insured spoke with one of our CS Supervisors over the balance due on the downpayment. The insured mentions she was never informed she needed to pay a balance for the service of Tire Hazard and the service fee. The insured mentioned she understood that the agency had a fee, and she was willing to pay it, but that she felt it was not right to charge for a producer she didn't ask for. The Supervisor apologized for the situation, and he advised the balance for the additional producer was going to be waived off. The insured proceed to pay the service fee of $50, and the balance of $45 was removed. The insured agreed to the resolution. We trust the information is responsive to your inquiry. However, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at ************.

      January 3 2025 I call and get accepted for insurance. I find out later in February that the person who helped me slipped in the clause claiming I agree to $200 broker fee and it's non refundable even if insurance is canceled or rejected. I would never sign such a ridiculous request. Anyway it's digitally signed under my name without MY authorization. Freeway insurance tried to charge me $408 as a "down-payment" for insurance with ****** come to find out NO they actually only paid ****** $139. They wanted me to pay a additional $389 for a second down-payment to "reinstate" me after I apparently lost coverage. But not just that they wanted $389 down-payment $83 and some change as a monthly payment plus late fees for me to be active! I demand my money back I'm tired of them making excuses avoiding paying me! To add a cherry on top I see they wrote I have been driving for ten plus years I didn't get my license til I was 23 that's only 6 going on 7 years ago! I want my money back in full! $408 or I'm suing each individual!

      Hello ******, this complaint is related to the complaint ID: ********. We already submitted the response on the other complaint. A summary of the resolution is as gesture of good faith and due to the inconvenience, the agency decided to issue a refund for $200 broker fees that the insured paid. We are also leaving a coupon on her profile for a new policy with no broker fee in the case the insured would like to get a quote. The coupon is only to waive off payment to the agency but the payment to the carrier must be paid. The refund is going back to the same card the insured used with us at the inception of this policy. If the card is no longer in use but the bank account is still active, the insured must contact her bank. We trust the information is responsive to your inquiry. However, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at ************.

      Spam called me 4 times per day with an automated system. I finally answered and spoke with a representative. The representative was rude and just kept pushing for my information. When I asked questions they brushed them off and when I asked if they were flexible with their pricing they just hung up on me. This is not a professional business and I dont want to be spammed with phone calls from them or contacted by them in any way again.

      03/19/2024 I went in to the freeway insurance location to purchase an upgrade of my motorcycle insurance policy from liability to premium coverage which would include collision personal injury and uninsured/ motorist I had $3000 cash so I was sure to get the coverage I needed I paid $1354.00 for a six month policy.sense I had extra money I went ahead and purchased a second policy for another vehicle I have I was very clear about having the same coverage which was understood by the sales person that evening ****** ********* so I paid $1100.00 cash for that policy for a six month policy as well .so I felt safe to be riding my motorcycle I was not given any copys that evening for my upgrade or purchase I was told I would receive my copys via mail however this was not the case I received only one copys of policy for the vehicle coverage that I purchased new that day I did not receive my motorcycle policy or cards which I thought that because they are separate policy's I would receive them shortly after. unfortunately with work and my own responsibilities .I had forgotten to address the issue whith the insurance provider and on May 16 2024 I was cut off and crashed my motorcycle on the 60 freeway.the whole time when I was recovering I was communicating with my insurance provider i had the impression that I was going to be able to pay my medical bills with the coverage I had from my policy. It was not until six months later my insurance provider stated that I waved my rights for uninsured motorist on my policy which makes no sense because I got the same coverage for the vehicle I got a policy for that same evening which has coverage for uninsured motorist.why would anyone reject coverage that comes with the upgrade policy for a motorcycle which is far more dangerous then a car I would never make such a decision or agree to such a senseless ********* when I was notified in late November 2024 .I reviewed the policy I received July 25 2024 it was falsified I did notagree

      On January 7, 2025 my son was on his way home after bringing me home from a back procedure that I had that day and was involved in a no-fault accident. I contacted the insurance company in reference to the accident and the claim was denied by the insurance because the car is not housed at the address on the policy. The insurance company had no reason to contact my child concerning this issue and the only way they communicated was by email except to find out about the accident. My child could have died if that board would have gone through his window. The other driver was totally at fault. I don't think that the insurance company was fair at all. I paid my premiums every month and had been with them for a while. I also had a video showing that it was not my child's fault concerning the accident, but they still denied the claim because of a car housing issue. This should not be an issue at all but they just didn't want to pay for the repair which if they would have gone after the other driver on the video, they wouldn't have to pay for the repairs. They then cancelled my insurance because of this. I tried loading the video but it was too big. Insurance companies are quick to take your payments but find any and all reasons not to pay for problems that may occur.

      We are very sorry to hear about this situation and the inconvenience. As the broker agency, we don't handle any type of claim however, we contacted the Insurance Company in order to verify the reason of the cancellation, and they advised that due to the Claim submitted MMR Investigation for review, Compliance has determined MMR exist and is proceeding with rescission. The insured may contact claims for further information as to why if they like at **************.

      My wife and I were searching for new auto insurance and we were contacted by Baja/Freeway Auto insurance. I spoke to one person and after I have him some general information, he transferred me to ****** ****** to continue with getting a quote. Mr. ****** gave me a quote of $368 to start the insurance policy. I told him it seemed fair and that I would like to talk to my wife to discuss the policy. He then offered to call my wife to go over the policy wow with her. I have him her number and he called her. After several minutes, I proceeded to check our bank account and noticed that we had been charged the deposit for the insurance when we hadn't signed anything or agreed to purchase the insurance. I immediately text Mr. ****** and told him that we didn't give him permission to charge our card too start the insurance. His response was that I said it seemed fair and that my wife gave him her debit card number. Bi told that we hadn't signed anything and just because she gave him the card number, that is not an authorization to charge the transaction. I told him that we want our money back and he says that he would cancel the transaction and it would take 3-5 business days to get our money back and I agreed. He told me the transaction was cancelled and that we would be getting out money bank. That all happened on November 20, 2024 and we have not gotten our money bank yet.

      Were sorry to hear about your recent experience with our company. **************** is highly important for us. Reviewing the account, on 11/20/2024, ******* ****** "the insured", applied for car insurance through our agency, Freeway, with United Automobile Insurance Group, the insurance company. The total down payment was $368 of which $261 was submitted to United Automobile Insurance Group. The fully disclosed broker fee was $77, $20 documentation fee and a $10 convenience fee. The insured agreed and electronically signed the documentation thereby agreeing to the terms. The insured paid the full $368. The agency received the void request the same day of the inception on 11/20/2024. However, due to a backlog in our cancellation department, the request was processed days later. The policy was voided and, on 12/17/2024, the agency approved and issued the refund for the full amount of $368 in form of a check. Unfortunately, we received a dispute from the insureds bank institution, and, after submitting the documents and proving that the agency reimbursed in full, the insureds bank institution sent us the notification that we lost the dispute, meaning that the insured received our refund and the refund from his bank leaving the agency in negative. Due to the dispute, the agency has added the insured to our collection list to receive the funds that we reimbursed back to the insured. We trust the information is responsive to your inquiry. However, if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at ************.
