Del Toro Auto Insurance Review

Friday, 08 November 2013 17:08

Del Toro Insurance sells auto insurance products to the South Florida with extensive advertising campaigns and markets its products to high-risk drivers in this area. Del Toro is not a widely known insurance company, but it has grown in the South Florida market since 1998 and works with larger insurance companies that underwrite its customers’ policies. Del Toro sells the minimum liability coverage required by Florida along with other coverage options. The company’s quality of service and financial status is relatively unknown due to the lack of customer reviews and independent third party ratings.

Website

The Del Toro website has an extensive glossary that defines many of the most common terms that are used in the auto insurance industry. Policy holders can make a payment online or submit a claim from the website. There is a list of Florida office locations for prospective customers along with phone numbers. The website is quite minimal and does not offer much information about any unique discounts or features of Del Toro compared to other insurance providers. Visitors cannot get a free quote from the website and must call a Del Toro office for a quote.

Customer Reviews

We could not find any reviews of Del Toro Insurance online, most likely due to the fact that it is a new and small market insurance provider. There was one unresolved complaint on the company’s BBB website.
