What our customers have to say

Our adjustor from Cabrillo Coastal went the 'extra miles' in dealing with our many contractors and claims. He made us feel like family!  We will gladly recommend him and Cabrillo.

Ron R, Valued Policyholder

Thank you for the detailed explanations and prompt professional service. I especially appreciated receiving the renewal email just a minute after I hung up.

Perry S, Valued Policyholder

Thank you for handling the claim in an expeditious manner. This has been by far the easiest household claim handling in almost 30 years of home ownership.

Brad H, Valued Policyholder

Thank you, let me say how overly impressed I am with your service.

Antonio B, Valued Policyholder

Customer service is excellent, easy quoting system, and claims assistance is great.

Erin M, Abbey Insurance

Cabrillo is awesome! Friendly, helpful and efficient.

Nicole D, Basic Integrity Insurance

Safe Harbor was the first insurance carrier we represent to close out all of our claims (after Hurricane Matthew). We had a total of 8 losses, until a newly reported loss today.

Raigan R, Jim Swallows Insurance Agency

From my sales rep to underwriting, to even the CEO, everyone is always accessible, helpful and friendly.
