Discounts

The website does not offer much information on the available discounts but does go into detail on some of the unique benefits of their auto insurance compared to other providers.

Types of Insurance Offered

Aside from the dozens of other insurance products, Ace offers the minimum liability for auto insurance but also higher level coverage for valuable vehicles. Some of the benefits that are offered cater to customers who may own vehicles with a high retail value. For instance, the “Agreed Value” benefit locks in the vehicle value before depreciation if it is declared a total loss, and this results in a higher payout. The “New for Old” benefit replaces a totaled car with a new vehicle from the most recent model year and the “OEM Parts” benefit pays only for original equipment parts rather than inexpensive third party imitations.

Website

The company website is nicely designed and offers regional websites for each global region where it sells insurance. The U.S. website has basic information about the different insurance products offered, and interested customers can find an agent through the agent locator.

Customer Reviews

Customer reviews that have been published on their website are generally positive, but some of the reviews on other websites described negative experiences with the company. In particular, difficulties were described with claims processing and customer service.

Recommendations

Ace is a financially stable company but there is little information known about their customer service due to the lack of third party review information. Luxury vehicle owners and owners of high end vehicles may benefit from getting a quote from the company due to the company’s strong financial stability. Other vehicle owners may look at other insurance providers or compare the quote that they get from Ace with other insurance companies.
