Their pricing is fair and reasonable
Don't trust them. Quoted one price, I agreed, and then the price rose. I agreed again, and the agent told me I was pre-approved. I signed the insurance application, but then didn't have the option to pay. I kept checking over the next few days and the status said that my insurance was still being reviewed, even though the agent said that I was definitely approved. Then when it was finally approved, the price went up again and I had this message: "I understand I had an option of a lower first payment amount based on younger insurance age which was valid until 3/29/2025. I agree to make the first payment based on my current insurance age." Except that there was no way for me to make a payment on 3/29 since they had held up the approval. update: when I complained, they explained that it's b/c i passed my half birthday, and reverted to the 2nd price quoted
I recently used Policygenius to get life insurance quotes, and I was initially impressed with how easy the process seemed. They quoted me $30 a month, which sounded reasonable, so I moved forward and provided all my personal and private information—everything from my health history to financial details. My wife did the same, and we were both quoted $30. But then, after all that effort, the actual insurance company they connected us with, Pacific Life, came back with a final price of $60 each. That’s a 100% increase! Double the cost, and this was after we’d already invested time and shared sensitive info. It feels incredibly unfair to be hit with such a bait-and-switch. I expected transparency, not a surprise hike that left us questioning the whole process. Disappointing, to say the least.
What an absolute pleasure! I worked with Courtney to apply for life insurance. The process was smooth and Courtney was extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions and I am very confident in my choice to use Policy Genius and subsequently their recommended life insurer. I highly recommend this company!
Courtney was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very friendly, informative, great laugh, and just fun to talk to. Made the process so much better than expected.
Application process was easy. But it’s very hard to get back into the site to see the policy.
Courtney was easy to understand and very positive and personable going through the questions. He kept us updated while he was completing work on his end. We had a positive experience for an annoying task.
The PolicyGenius rep was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and didn't push the marketing. Really put my mind at rest about my choice.
The process was efficient and professional.
I had an excellent experience with Courtney. He was an expert in life insurance, explaining the various options in simple terms so that I could fully comprehend the products. I appreciate your assistance in guiding me through my life insurance journey.
Was impressed with the process and ease of use. Stayed on top of me without being unbearable to make sure I followed through on a topic that was easy to push off. Provided great quotes with great companies.
I recently used Policygenius to find term life insurance and was thoroughly impressed. The process was straightforward, and the comparison tools helped me choose the best policy. Their advisors are knowledgeable and provided clear, helpful guidance every step of the way. Highly recommend!
Courtney was a huge, HUGE help in getting my complex application filled out. I had a medical event several years ago that was causing my applications to get denied everywhere I applied and I didn't know why. Courtney helped me figure out what was causing the denials and filled out a detailed explanation for the company to help get my application through, and was super positive and helpful throughout the call. The whole process was shockingly and delightfully human for something as tedious and aggravating as getting my life insurance sorted.
Very easy, very helpful, trustworthy & reputable. All it took was one phone call and a few online forms, and now we have the policy we want & need.
The customer service rep was great and was able to finish the process quickly
After receiving my medical records, Policygenius provided a quote and within two weeks told me my policy had been approved. Yay! Or so I thought... they more than DOUBLED the premium during the underwriting stage. They gave no legitimate explanation other than that due to my medical records they had increased my rate. But they already had my records when they gave me the initial quote! Did they just not read them? I don't appreciate the bait and switch. Bonus, from start to disappointing finish, the process took 9 months because no one at Policygenius could access the medical records I authorized them to access from a single provider. Complete waste of time!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we attempt to provide carrier recommendations and an accurate quote based on the insurance company's guidelines, ultimately the final offer is based on the underwriters review of medical history. If you'd prefer to chat with someone from the team directly, give us a call at 855-695-2255.
Simple, informative and helpful!
