HOW DO WE MAKE THINGS BETTER?

Your top priorities are the things that matter most – your family, your home, your car or your business.

Having the right insurance coverage which gives you the peace of mind that they’re protected is invaluable. We see our job as giving you the support and comfort to focus on what really matters.

We like to think we’re experts in making things better. After all, we’ve been doing it for over 300 years.

 

 

First and foremost, we eliminate insurance headaches with our Hassle Free Claims® service.

 

We’re committed to making things easy for you with:

• Access to a live RSA Claims Adjuster, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – we are always here to take your call and provide help when you need it.
• Our $500 Service Guarantee. If we don’t return your call on a new claim within 6 business hours, we’ll pay you $500. No questions asked.   This applies to Catastrophic weather events as well.
• Lifetime repair guarantee on auto claim repairs made at our preferred shops
• RSA Care. An accident or property loss can be stressful and upsetting. Our RSA claims professionals will help guide you through your claim. They can also refer you to a trained counselor through our Claims partner Graham Guidance. With no fees, your counselor will tell you what to expect, give you resources to help, and guide you through a challenging time.

 

When you need to make a claim, you can count on your Claims Representative to:

• Confirm your coverage
• Explain your options
• Make arrangements for repair or replacement of your property

 

We promise to:

• Provide prompt and professional contact
• Investigate claims efficiently
• Make arrangements for timely repairs
• Settle your claims fairly
• Stay in touch throughout the claims process
• Keep premiums fair by resisting fraudulent and exaggerated claims
