Date: December 31, 2018 Age: 30 to 39 Gender: Female Marital Status: Married
Policy Offerings
I don't think my insurance company offers anything other companies don't. I only use them because they were the default company when we purchased our home and the premiums were reasonable. The only plus I can see is that they are local so I'm not dealing with a big company like Allstate or State Farm.
Date: December 30, 2018 Age: 30 to 39 Gender: Female Marital Status: Married
Customer Service
I haven't had too many interactions with my home insurance company but the two times I have called I was told the issue in question was not covered. The representative was pleasant but I was not happy to hear that I would be paying out of pocket for damage done to my home due to high deductibles and loopholes in my policy.
Date: December 29, 2018 Age: 30 to 39 Gender: Female Marital Status: Married
Premium
I have gotten a quote from Allstate and the difference in premium was negligible. I don't want to go through the hassle of changing companies especially when something could go wrong with the house in that time frame just to save a few dollars.
Date: December 27, 2018 Age: 50 to 59 Gender: Female Marital Status: Married

Date: November 22, 2018 Age: 40 to 49 Gender: Male Marital Status: Unmarried
Policy Offerings
UPC's policy offerings are a great value. They also cover houses with pier and beam foundations in hurricane areas, like mine, which is hard to find.
Date: November 22, 2018 Age: 30 to 39 Gender: Male Marital Status: Married
Customer Service
My home insurance company's customer service group has been a pleasure to work with, although in a limited sense as my exposure to them has been brief. The little interaction I have had with them has been entirely pleasant.
Date: November 20, 2018 Age: 40 to 49 Gender: Female Marital Status: Unmarried
Customer Service
They have a web site that is easy to access and get answers to most of your questions. The customer service reps are very helpful in explaining any issues and helping with problems.
Date: November 18, 2018 Age: 40 to 49 Gender: Female Marital Status: Unmarried

My premiums when up after a fire claim which I find unfair considering the fire wasn't my fault and my deductible is very high in order to keep my premiums low. I dont make small claims so I don't worry too much about it

The website is clearly constructed so you can see where all subject matter is. There is a location of where to contact the company and an area that answers commonly asked questions. The only change is that the webpage could be more visually appealing and colorful.

Website/App
TO be honest, I had no idea if my insurance company had a web presence (they don't have an app) until this survey. So I went & checked them out & signed up for the web access. It seems to be ok, & it has all the information (with more detailed help) that my printed policy has. I have to say I like their web page very much.

Besides what is listed, theft, liability insurance. It does cover a certain percentage of hurricane damage -- important in Florida but has a 2 percent deductible on that.
Date: September 12, 2018 Age: 40 to 49 Gender: Male Marital Status: Married
Website/App
Their website doesn't explain things in detail. I have a claim, they inspected my home, and did not qualified for any help. They just claim his insurance every year, they are careless.
Date: September 12, 2018 Age: 30 to 39 Gender: Male Marital Status: Married
Customer Service
I dislike their customer service. I haven't had the chance to speak to anyone directly since we set it up, but the fact that they never check in on us or send us any kind of communication is a little disappointing.

Website/App
I like the website, but if I want to make a partial payment -- which I usually do -- I have to call in advance to do that. I would like to just easily pay half the payment, then pay the balance when the bill is due. I also don't like that they don't take debit or credit cards. That is inconvenient.
Date: August 26, 2018 Age: 40 to 49 Gender: Male Marital Status: Married
Customer Service
I would like it to be lower for my coverage, but seeing as it is the lowest in my area at the moment I am not completely unsatisfied.

I am certainly not an expert on home insurance premiums, but I feel that we do have a good premium. Especially considering we have galvanized plumbing and most companies do not want to cover those.

So far, Universal insurance has been the most inexpensive option in my area, which is why i have stuck with them. It is thousands less a year than other insurance companies i have quoted including Geico which currently covers my vehicle and would get a discount for multiple policies.
