by doglover , Jun 02 '00
Pros: good car rates, good service
Cons: only in California and Canada
I changed to Wawanesa Insurance for my car insurance after reaching a high level of frustration with AAA. I started with AAA and they initially gave me a very good rate. However, every year, although my car and I were getting older and I had a perfect...

by Yalum85 , May 24 '00
Pros: GREAT prices, very pleasant claim process
Cons: No phone quotes
I’m so happy I listened to my wife this time! She first heard about Wawanesa Insurance from a TV consumer advocate. Because the name was unknown to me, I hesitated. However, when their quote was about $400 less than what we were paying, we signed...

Making Insurance Easy

Pros: inexpensive, great customer service
Cons: wa-wa-who?
I first heard of Wawanesa from my wife (at the time, my girlfriend). She had just moved back to California after living in another state for awhile and I had just met her and I remember her being excited about being back in California where she could...

Great prices IF you are a good driver

by beachen , May 31 '06
Pros: No agent, no hype. Good, fair and honest.
Cons: phone holds can be long. Since no agent, they can seem impersonal
I’ll be honest with you. I’ve been with Wawanesa for over 20 years (Except for a 2 year period when I married my wife and because she had a recent accident prior to our marriage on her record, they would not insure her, however when the time period for ...

Pros: Seems to have low prices
Cons: Poor customer service, unprofessional
In mid March I ordered an online auto insurance quote from Wawanesa Insurance. I received the printed quote in the mail. The price was good so I followed the instructions and on 3/21/2003 sent them 1151.60 which is 40% of my family's yearly premium....

Watch Out if you have an accident!!

by highrisk , Sep 01 '08
Pros:

Lowest rates- but no service, so not sure they even out.


Cons: Tricky and bald faced liars. Will just lie and go their merry way!
We had Wawa for our home and all of our autos. Then our teen started driving. At first, while she was on a learners permit, she was excluded from our cars. No problem, as she used the schools car anyways! She practiced with a parent for a year. A few ...

Really Cheap but poor customer service

by uuwwee , Feb 16 '07
Pros: Rates are so cheap!
Cons: Service is bad.
I went with Wawanesa because I heard from someone who heard from someone knowledgeable about insurance that Wawa was the cheap way to go for decent insurance. I read the positive review on Epinions as well but it seemed a little too good to be true in ...

Best auto insurance -- in 100 words

by 100words , Dec 19 '00
Pros: great rates, convenient payment terms, very responsive
Cons: no local agents - you deal directly with the company's office
Our cars are insured by Wawanesa. In Los Angeles, auto insurance rates are high.

The annual premium for our two cars is $861, almost $350 cheaper than bids received from other carriers.

We are safe drivers with no speeding...

You Get What You Pay For

by jalopynow , Oct 02 '08
Pros: Inexpensive and rates are not increased much.
Cons:

You will not get adequate compensation.


Don't imagine for a minute that you really have coverage. They will try to find you at fault in order to avoid covering your damages or if they can not find fault the compensation is no more than half of what you will need to have your car repaired. ...
