i thought it was a good idea to go with esurance, and have learned a valuable lesson in doing so. i thought how convenient, able to do all online. well i bought the policy on 05-31-2007 inorder to qualify for a vehicle loan. had to have full coverage incase of an accident. so i paid received all my documents id cards etc..
well as some of you may know, i had an accident on 06-27-07, i submitted a claim and was told my policy was inactive and set to begin on 07-01-2007, they went so far as to tell me this is the date i selected!! i explained i never would have selected that date knowing i would be driving the car immediately, i was financing it the same day. so basically now they say i am on my own, they won't even assist me with a rental.
just wanted to post this to inform others of their practices.
