Pickiness

• One of the problems with Amica with regard to auto insurance particularly, is that it is picky about who it takes on as customers. Amica will typically refuse to ensure potential customers with multiple accidents or even with several tickets.
  
  According to ConsumerSearch's review, Amica takes credit history into account when considering potential insureds. While more information is available on automobile insurance than other product lines, some available data indicates that claims history in general factors into Amica's decisions to accept customers for other coverage, such as homeowners' insurance.
  
  

Few Local Agents

• Another problem customers have reported about Amica is that it has few local agents. While most Amica customers said the company has good customer service and involves minimal or no hassles in dealing with it, the limited availability of local agents can pose a problem for some customers.
  
  

Business Over Telephone

• As a direct result of the fact that Amica has few local agents, the company does most of its business over the telephone. While in most situations this is not a problem, this can pose an inconvenience in some circumstances.
  
  

Geographical Restriction

• One potential problem is that while Amica offers insurance in most states, there is one exception. Amica does not service the state of Hawaii, even for Hawaiian residents who qualify under Amica's strict eligibility requirements. They must then seek other companies, almost all of which received lesser rankings than Amica.
  
  

Complaints

• Amica insurance has one of the top ratings in the industry. In fact, the only other company rated at the same quality level offers insurance only to individuals with some association to the military. All the same, Amica Insurance did over a three-year interval have nine complaints lodged with the Better Business Bureau.
  
  

Claims Problems

• Amica rated favorably against other insurance companies in independent review with reference to the company's handling of claims. However, Amica did not achieve a perfect score on customers having difficulty with claims. According to a review at Consumer Reports, 14 percent of Amica's customer base reported claims problems.
