I would never recommend Figo to anyone!!

Figo's customer support seems great up front. In the beginning they are really nice on the phone, telling your everything that you want to hear. Unfortunately, it all goes down hill from there. My dog had surgery on her knee and I filed a claim with the company. The claim was denied and I have been trying to get in contact with them ever since. They no longer answer my emails nor do they call me back, even after they say they will. You can imagine how frustrating this is when all you are asking for, is for them to show you the verbiage in the policy that explains why they denied the claim. I would absolutely steer clear of waisting your money on this company when insuring your pet. When it comes down to it they just take your money and don't really care about you or your pet!!

Unacceptable sudden and steep increases in premiums

I, like several other reviewers here, recently experienced a huge increase in premium (3x), an increase in deductible from 200 to 500, and lowered coverage 80% to 70%. In order to get the same coverages and deductible going forward, I would need to pay 300 total per month, from 72 (for two dogs)! I correct myself, that is more than a 4x increase!! I've read their responses to other reviewers, that the previous underwriter was increasing premiums year to year, and at least for me, that is NONSENSE! I had only received increases of 5 dollars or less per year per pet which seemed reasonable given their advancing age. But this recent change?? NOT OK! What a horrible way to treat loyal customers especially those who have made very few claims. Shame on you Figo, with your nonsense excuses and rationalizations!! Perhaps Figo lowered premiums for some owners/pets, but there's a definitive pattern emerging here among reviewers. If premiums were significantly raised only for the 'senior pets', to eliminate the risk by making it entirely illogical financially for the owner, or unaffordable, then that is truly despicable!! I will never ever recommend them again to people nor will I ever consider them for ANY future pets that I own.

New UnderWriter PRICE JUMP!

Purchased this insurance for my chihuahua and cocker spaniel in 2018. For $10,000 max coverage yearly with $500 deductible covered at 80% it was $61.20 for the Spaniel and $62.90 for the chihuahua. So apparently they have a new underwriter. The new price for the same exact coverage is now $111.96 for the Spaniel and $88.34 for the chihuahua!!! $75.30 more a month!!! A 62% increase!!! Oh and good luck getting them to pay a claim. You have to call in everything and fight every claim. If you don't everything is a pre-existing condition! Buyer BEWARE! Figo is a terrible!
