If you had an Esurance policy
Former Esurance customers were to be offered replacement policies through Allstate or National General, according to the company’s filings. A replacement policy can differ from your old Esurance coverage in limits, deductibles, discounts and price, so read the new declarations page carefully. A switch of policy is also a natural moment to compare: request quotes from several insurers with the same coverage you have now.
