Actually, I haven't met anyone who's made a claim with them who has
a *good* story.  They tried to rip me off for about 45% of the value
of my car (which was totalled by a CSAA-insured driver) and their attitude
was: so sue us if you don't like it.  I've heard the same story from
others who've made claims.
