Awards

Best Auto Claims Experience

Great claims service is increasingly hard to find. The rate and cost of claims is up exponentially due to crisis levels of auto theft and catastrophic weather, leading to the emergence of coverage deserts in the hardest-hit locales.

Given these challenges, Aviva’s placement (decided by customers who filed a claim in 2023) is meaningful. Aviva leadership has also reiterated their commitment to seeking alternatives to coverage reductions, noting that it wouldn’t be the right for the business and consumers alike. Another reason for Aviva customers to exhale.

  • Reporting a claim is easy, according to most respondents
  • Claims agents clearly outline the claims process, current customers say
  • Aviva representatives are proactive in their communication
  • Aviva representatives are easy to reach and are knowledgeable
  • Auto insurance claims get resolved in a timely manner, according to claimants
