Docked a star for the purpose that you can not get a estimate quote for coverage on the website. Or if you are buying a newer vehicle you can't get a estimate for how much more your premiums will go up.

I had to file my first claim with Rockford Mutual after being with them for over a year. They were wonderful. Jesse handled the claim and Aaron was the adjuster handling the value of my car. They were both awesome! I would recommend RM to anyone that will ever ask!

Recently filed a claim on my Homeowner's policy. Rockford was courteous, professional and timely in their response. I am very pleased with them as my insurance company and glad that I made the change when I did.

Have been a client for about 10 years. In this time service has always and consistently been excellent, and rates are very fair. Am a Senior and AARP can't even come close to this company's rates. Any chance I get I refer Rockford Mutual Insurance Company. Keep up the good work! Iris Moloney

Had instance where a dump trailer came loose from back of my pickup truck & caused $2,400 in damage. People at Rockford Mutual were excellent & received a check for repairs in just couple of days. No hassle, just excellent service. Thank You.
