I've had American Family for four years and have never had a problem with them.  The rates are fair (a LOT lower than Geico, who I had before Am Family) and the claims process went smoothly the two times I had to use them (unfortunately).  I never had contact with the agent, but his assistants are...

My husband and I had our car and renters insurance through American Family for 5 years with multiple cars. When our daughter and her boyfriend (now husband) moved in we were told we had to add them to our policy because they lived in our house. We were told the same thing about our 23 year old son who...

Having to report damage to our home, not a problem.  But actually dealing with getting the money to get the roof fixed, that was a pain in the neck.  American Family wouldn't give all the money for the fix and the company that did the repairs needed 1/2 down to start the job, so it was a touchy time for us to deal with American Family.  We'd change insurance companies, but do not who has better process for claims and getting the money to us.   As far as coverage for automobile, that is better than the homeowner's insurance.  Pretty quick and concise and not really a problem with taking car...

After many years (10+) of insurance with them with no claims, and 20 years plus our grandparents before us, we have had nothing but grief with the Keokuk Ia. They said we had to put on new roof, we did. They said we had to reside the garage. We did. A year goes by. Then they said we had to reside the house - in the middle of winter deep freeze. We said first thing come spring - the contractors protected it with plywood and plastic where it had blown off. They said nope had to be now . So we did. Then we received notice that we needed to replace the roof and garage siding. The local agent took pictures,... review »

Recently I called my agent for advice on making a claim, since we had recently had a couple of claims on other cars.  I was told that AmFam NEVER cancels policies and that, at worst, my rates would go up.  I was even given an estimate of what the increase would be.  It seemed more practical to make the claim and pay the increased rates.  WRONG!  Shortly after making the claim I was notified by AmFam that all of my auto policies would be cancelled.  They would not work with me in any way.  I was able to find new policies at comparable rates.  My motorcycle policy was not cancelled and since... review »

We have been with our American Family agent for 5 years now.  He is wonderful & so personable.  He has always taken the time to address our concerns & point us in the right direction.  He is like family to us.  I have never had anybody go out of their way for us like this from any other insurance company or any business really.  Unbelievable service.

 We started with car insurance (switched to American Family because they were cheaper) & now we also have homeowners & a total of 8 life insurance policies!  We get great discounts on already low prices!  You can't beat that!

 We have recommended...

We have been with this company for all of our insurance needs for over 6 years. They are almost like family to us. The customer service is amazing and the rates are the best we've seen!

My parents went with American Family Insurance so when I turned sixteen I also went through the same agent.  Our agent had known our family for about twenty years, we called him by his first name he knew all about us and we knew all about his family.  From the time I was sixteen to when I was twenty nine I had gotten one speeding ticket, get side swiped (not at fault the other car had ran a red light), and hit a deer.  I have always had a pretty clean driving record and I always paid my insurance in full for six months well in advance.  I recently purchased a house and called my agent...

I have been a client of American Family Insurance since 1993. I have insured many vehicles through them and have always been satisfied with the great customer service they provide. Anytime I have had a question, I am always treated with respect, and there is never anything that they are not willing to answer or find out the answer to for me. They know me by name and face and even remember my kids' names and my husband's name when we meet. My agent and his staff are all very courteous and friendly. Anytime I call there they always greet me as if I were a member of their family, no matter who... review »

My husband and I have been with American Family since 2002 for our auto and homeowners insurance.  We've only filed one claim.  That was for a pretty bad car wreck, involving 3 vehicles about 18 months ago.  The wreck was my husband's fault.  We had no problems getting AM Fam to pay the bills.  We were able to take our car to wherever we watned to get it fixed.  I believe the other 2 vehicles involved had no issues either.

 I love the fact that I have a local agent that I can call up whenever I have a question or have an issue with something.  That is why I have stuck with AM Fam and not...

American Family Insurance is a company that I have insured with for 16 years in the midwest.  I have a personal agent and a number to call 24 hours a day.  The auto claim service is a piece of cake to accomplish.  The home claims are more than fair, prompt and inclusive.  All the time I hear about companies that raise rates after a claim, and AMF has never done this to me.  My rates are actually lower because of the huge list of discounts they apply to my policy when it is reviewed each year before renewal.  I have done some work for this company and I was treated with professionalism and... review »

Did you know that American Family Insurance runs your credit report and uses that to deturmine the price that you will pay for insurance. At American Family Insurance you can have a clean driving record and no accidents and or tickets and you still may have to pay a high rate each renewal because you may have had some hard time in you past finical situation. When calling American Family Insurance I ask why my rate was going up  even after I have had a clean record for driving, and I was told that they deturmain the rate based on you rateing by the three credit burals and any knocks and hard time...

American Family Insurance is the first insurance company I've had PLEASURE in dealing with.

The agents and everyone who works with them are friendly. The customer service not attached to the particular agency is nice. My agent is available when I need him! And if not his boss is more than happy to assist no matter how small the matter.

Their roadside assistance plan is ridiculously affordable, very reasonable amount of coverage, easy to use, and very quick reimbursement.

Their website is easy to navigate. Payment options are many. Setting up new service was fast and simple yet very informative. The...

  I have had American Family Insurance for at least 6 years, I have car insurance and rental insurance with them.  I have had to use my renters insurance once, I had $250.00 worth of spoiled food, the insurance actually covered $500.00.  My claim was for $250.00 it was easy and fast to put a claim in. I got my money in a couple of days.    I have used my car insurance on a no fault accident in a private parking lot, and ended up paying 1/2 my deductiable to fix damage to my car.  My insurance paid the claim fast, the other insurance company Motorist Mutual, I had to call at least 6 times...
