Verified ReviewerNeed to speak to a representative regarding my account # 8377 ** **
I have been trying to contact customer service every day since this past Friday (7/28). Every time I call I am put on hold and told there is a long wait time of over 40 minutes.
Yesterday I was hold for 1 hour 32 minutes 24 seconds before someone came on the phone. The first thing I said was "please don't hang up on me, I've been on hold for a long time" the person said, I won't hang up, how can I help you. As soon as I started talking again, they hung up.
Needless to say I was very up set.
Your customer service is terrible, and everything I've read online says the same thing. And now I am considering canceling my insurance with you (after nearly 50 years).
How do I get someone live on the phone to talk to regarding my policy without wasting my life sitting on hold?
- Cheap
- Unresponsive
Preferred solution: A call back
User's recommendation: Cheap insurance, lousy customer service, and don't ever expect roadside service to take less that 2 hours for a response

Verified ReviewerNeed to edit my policy documents and address
I've been unable to get through by phone. I've been on hold for 30,40, 50 minutes and the call never goes through.
I only want to make 2 minor edits, to remove a name from the mailing address and the name on the policy that says "unrated".
I also want to ensure having these two names on my documents hasn't changed the rate I pay.
- Affordable
- Customer service is non-existent
Preferred solution: In touch with a customer service representative to answer a question and edit document for me
User's recommendation: Once you're a paying customer, customer service is not available.
Car insurance
I tried to buy insurance for my new car , somehow I cant get in touch with anyone. I tried to call every day but was put on hold over an hour every time.
I tried to do it online but they wouldnt let me login. My # is 1(61*)***-****
User's recommendation: I would recommend them to find other alternatives

Verified ReviewerCannot Get a Rep on Phone
I have called around 5 times in the last few days trying to reach a representative to change my auto policy. I have been on hold well over an hour each time.
This is completely unacceptable.
I need a call back or if there is another way of doing this please advise. Thank you
Preferred solution: A call back
Once again billing and customer service has failed again
In August 2023, 21st had the same problems with billing, no contact with customer service and a defunct website. Over 35 years with them and never a problem until this year.
Not sure if they are even in business with absolutely no responses by phone or website.
Suddenly you have to pay the entire 6 months instead of installments.
I even emailed Farmers with the following:
"What has Farmer's done to 21st Century Insurance?
They are just awful.
No customer service and incorrect billing. A failing stepchild!"
More than pissed!!
User's recommendation: Beware!

Verified ReviewerHorrible, horrible, horrible customer service
Besides filing a complaint with Pissed Consumer I also filed a complaint with the BBB. Haven't heard from 21st Century.
Like everyone else, I can't get through. 21st has known about this problem for months and months, but obviously they don't want to address it, they'd rather save money and avoid hiring more customer service agents.
I moved to OR (21st only covers CA), and I've been trying to get through for weeks to cancel my coverage and get a pro-rated refund, but CAN'T GET THROUGH.
I suppose I'll just have to let my coverage run its course and forget about a refund. I hope 21st Century crashes and burns...
- Not enough agents
- Horrid customer service
Preferred solution: A pro-rated refund
User's recommendation: avoid at all cost

Verified ReviewerCheck account balance
The website said my policy # didn't exist and my phone number was invalid. So I tried calling and it said my wait time was 40 min.
I was waiting for more than an hour and finally hung up. I tried 4 times.
I hadn't received a bill and didn't know if I had a balance.
So my bill didn't get paid. I hope they will extend my payment due date until the 10
- Good prices
- Bad website
Preferred solution: Extend my due date until Aug 10th

- Prices ok
Preferred solution: Able to have their website working again so I can go on there and update contact info!
