There aren’t many public reviews about the Gulfstream claims process – at least not enough to discern whether the complaints we saw were flukes or commonplace. So we won’t weigh in here.
We can account for our process, though. We believe claims is when an insurer should make good on the promises of an insurance policy. It should be an opportunity to shine.
When a policyholder reports a loss, we guide them through next steps, help arrange virtual inspections when possible, and come to a fair settlement. Once that’s approved, our customers who opted in for our Managed Repair Network are instantly connected with vetted local, licensed, and insured contractors. That way, they experience as little downtime as possible.
