About this business

Specialties Pekin Insurance helps our customers build their dreams. Or rebuild their lives. We provide peace of mind and long-term security for our policyholders, shareholders, agents, and employees. History Established in 1921. It all began over 90 years ago, when a new Chevrolet cost $850, 40 mph was highway cruising speed, traffic jams and tailgating were unknown, and liquor was illegal. Not a bad year to start an automobile insurance company.

Its lengthy but worth the read.... the offered more for my tires but the total was the same as before giving me more????? Their insured blew the stop sign, failed to yield and 3 MPH over on my black box info they say 10% liability is my fault! The 06 SRT8 Chrysler 300 is destroyed and now being undervalued. Of the choices to select for not liking in this Google review, Not responsive is not one I can select, they are responsive GO PEKIN!

I had their insurance on my business, autos, home, personal autos, everything for over a decade. We had an attic fire. They even insured Pekin Stove Shop that caused the fire. Nothing but a battle, had to sue them. I wouldn't recommend them to insure a dead dog, Curt Markley

Pekin Insurance is not a very reliable company when settling claims you may have with their clients. One of their clients backed into the passenger side of my car while I was waiting to get into a parking space. In spite of pictures showing scratches to the rear bumper of their client's car and pictures showing dents in my front and rear passenger doors, the Pekin adjuster and her boss claimed that I hit their client's car, and therefore, denied the claim. I tried to explain to them that it was physically impossible to incur... read more

My bill was due on the 28th, paid it on the 30th but they didnt get it from the bank till the 7th of july. Holiday and covid I am guessing. Went to pay the most recent bill and was informed my policy was canceled and got dropped. Wouldnt recommended pekin to anyone, I have been with them for 5 years or more and have always paid my bill.

Worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. I filed a claim over a month ago and they asked me to submit a bid for the damages. The bid was submitted right away. Since then I have sent several emails and left several phone calls and no one will get back to me. I have no idea how this company is in business when they can't return a simple email or phone call.

Every month Pekin Insurance submits automatic payment claims to my Bank, which my Bank honors. One is apparently for renter's insurance for an apartment where I have not lived for two years. The other is for an automobile which is no longer operational (or licensed) and which I would like to add as a second vehicle with my current auto insurance company, but cannot because the vehiclew cannot pass local emissions requirements. Pekin will not allow me to cancel either policy, and continues to abuse my trust in allowing them d... read more

After MANY calls and emails, adjuster Gabrielle *******got back with me only to deny having spoken about getting my ceiling fixed. She said I told her I'd f... read more

I've had Pekin insurance for a number of years now for both home and auto. Very reasonable rates and easy to work with. I would certainly recommend checking them out.

One of our fleet trucks was involved in an accident with a customer of Pekin. Per our company policy we needed to send our employee to take a drug and alcohol screening and had lost revenue for the employees to switch equipment to another vehicle. Pekin refused to recognize our loses for this time and suggested that since it was a slow time of the year we would have the time to deal with the issue on our own. We ended up paying the $642.00 lose out of our own pocket. As with most insurance companies these days they create pr... read more

Business response:

We are sorry that you are not satisfied with the claim service received but feel we have provided a very fair and appropriate settlement in this situation.
