1 /5 Hayko Toretto: I moved to the U.S. and initially signed up for car insurance with Bristol West using my Russian driver’s license. They charged me an outrageous $600 per month, which is ridiculously expensive. When I decided to cancel the policy, they somehow managed to demand an additional $65 just for the cancellation process. To make matters worse, they threatened to damage my credit score if I didn’t pay the cancellation fee.
I ended up switching to Tesla Insurance, which costs me only $200 a month—much more reasonable! I am completely shocked that Bristol West would charge such an absurd cancellation fee without giving me any prior notice. Their insurance was far too expensive to begin with, and the way they handle cancellations is borderline predatory.
Beware of this company! Make sure you read every contract detail before signing, and if you can, avoid Bristol West altogether. I had to pay that $65 just to protect my credit, but I’m writing this review to warn others. I will never deal with this company again.
