Are the company’s car insurance rates competitive?

Rates are not available for Stonewood Insurance and will vary depending on the underwriting company and the driver. We would not expect to see online quoting from this insurance provider.

We can still give an idea of how much auto insurance will cost in Arizona and California through general auto insurance rates. Here are some average auto insurance rates based on Arizona and California car insurance:

Arizona and California Average Annual Auto Insurance Rates

We’ve included the U.S. average to compare Arizona and California’s average annual rates with the national average annual rates. California appears to have cheaper than average auto insurance, but these auto insurance rates can be different for you once you get a quote.

What is the availability by state?

According to the Stonewood Insurance company website, All Star General has car insurance in California and Arizona even though it’s based in California.

Rates are likely available only through agents, although there is a phone number on the All Star General website that will likely connect the caller with someone who can provide a quote to help you make a confident insurance decision.

What car insurance coverages are offered?

Neither Stonewood nor All Star General underwrites policies, rather they act as agencies placing customers with partner insurance companies. These companies are National General Insurance, Western General Insurance, and Nevada General Insurance.

While the company specializes in non-standard personal automobile insurance needs, it can also place people with standard insurance companies such as National General. Policy details vary between companies and are not listed on the site.

For example, Stonewood Insurance would connect you with National General Insurance services to get you auto insurance coverage like liability coverage.

Stonewood Insurance’s website does not talk about car insurance coverage, but you’ll need to know what you’ll need if you’re planning on driving on the road and what you’re paying for.

All U.S. drivers will need liability auto insurance, which is required by all states. Liability auto insurance is the minimum requirement for auto insurance. If you have any questions, refer to the complete guide to buying car insurance.

In some states, personal injury protection, medical payments, and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are required. These coverages are additional liabilities, and they are a part of liability auto insurance.

Next, collision and comprehensive auto insurance focus on property damage to your vehicle regardless of fault. Collision auto insurance pays for property damage regardless of who is at fault, while comprehensive auto insurance pays for damage that involves accidental damage out of your control.

Here are some common auto insurance rates based on information from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC).

Average Annual Auto Insurance Rates by Coverage Type

Liability auto insurance costs the most, while collision and comprehensive annual rates are less expensive. However, these rates can change based on the factors that determine auto insurance. Vehicles are the biggest factors when determining auto insurance rates by coverage type.

What are the bundling options?

Stonewood Insurance has little to no information about other insurance services they provide. Without any other insurance services, there’s no way to bundle your auto insurance. But can you really save money by bundling your auto insurance?

Bundling insurance can save money, but the only way to know if you bundle auto insurance with another insurance service is to contact an All Star General agent.

What discounts are offered?

Since the information from Stonewood Insurance (All Star General) isn’t listed, we’re left to assume what discounts could be available. The most common car insurance discounts are:

• Clean driving record discount
• Good credit discount
• Good student discount

• Safety features discount

Did you know age is a factor in determining auto insurance? Older and married drivers pay less for auto insurance. Take a look at these rates and see how much a person can pay based on their age.

Average Annual Auto Insurance Rates by Marital Status, Age, & Gender

California has outlawed insurance companies from determining auto insurance by gender, but Arizona still sees gender as a factor to determine auto insurance. This is why we’ve included Arizona’s average annual rates.

Teen auto insurance is more expensive than auto insurance for people who are 35 and older. Usually, senior drivers receive a 5-10 percent discount on their auto insurance. Read this teen driver safety guide to learn more.

Is it possible to cancel a Stonewood policy?

There are several reasons why you want to cancel your auto insurance policy. Whatever the reason is, it’s your right to cancel whenever you choose. How to cancel your auto insurance policy may raise questions for you.

This section will explore how you can cancel your Stonewood Insurance policy. In addition to canceling your auto insurance, we’ll give you tips on when it’s the best time to cancel your auto insurance policy.

Is there a cancellation fee?

Canceling your auto insurance policy may result in a fee. When your auto insurance policy comes to an end, you can renew or allow it to end, avoiding additional fees. Canceling before the auto insurance policy is finished can result in a fee of at least $25.

Some auto insurance companies will issue a fee that’s a portion of the auto insurance policy. All auto insurance companies are different, so ask All Star General about their fees after cancellation.

Is there a refund for a cancelled policy?

Refunds vary by the auto insurance company. Usually, you will receive a refund from your auto insurance company when you’ve paid your auto insurance policy in full. Some auto insurance companies only pay you a portion of your refund. This may be because you’ve used auto insurance for more than a month.

How does one cancel Stonewood insurance?

You cancel your auto insurance policy by contacting your auto insurance company and let them know you want to cancel. This can be done over the phone, in an e-mail, or through a certified letter.

If you want to contact Stonewood Insurance (All Star General) about cancellation, call their toll-free customer service number at 1-800-396-1485 or send them a certified letter to P.O. Box 502180, San Diego, CA 92150-2180.

When are you able to cancel a policy with Stonewood?

You can cancel at any time. However, it’s best to pick a specific date when you want to cancel. This notifies the auto insurance company that you want to cancel.

It’s best to give the auto insurance company a 15- to 30-day notice when you want to cancel. Also, this will give you an opportunity to shop for more auto insurance, get another insurance policy as you’re leaving one company, and it gives you a chance to change your mind.

What’s the bottom line?

The confusion and general lack of useful information on the Stonewood Insurance website as well as the All Star General site, leave us unable to form any real opinion of their insurance products.
