Is Westfield a good company?

Westfield is a good company for basic home and auto insurance. Its home and auto rates are cheaper than average.

Westfield’s car insurance has an excellent satisfaction rating from J.D. Power in the Central U.S. This region includes Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Ohio, four of the 10 states where Westfield offers home and auto insurance.

Although Westfield is a small company, it maintains an A rating for financial strength from AM Best. This matches or beats many larger companies for financial stability.

The company also has good home and auto complaint ratings from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). It has about half as many customer complaints as average.

However, Westfield’s digital shopping tools are limited compared to larger companies. For example, you can’t get quotes from Westfield’s website. It only helps you find an agent.

Westfield car insurance discounts

Westfield’s rates are already low, and it offers a few car insurance discounts that could bring down your rate even more. These include discounts for:

  • Bundling your car insurance with a homeowners policy
  • Signing up for MissionSafe, its safe driving program
  • Being a safe driver
  • Getting a quote at least a day before your policy starts
  • Being a loyal customer

Westfield offers two car and home insurance bundle options. Its basic WesPak package is available to most homeowners. Its deluxe WesPak Estate package is designed for wealthier customers.

Along with discounts, these packages include free coverage upgrades. For example, WesPak Estate gives you guaranteed replacement cost coverage for your home at no extra charge.

MissionSafe uses a smartphone app to track your driving. You get an initial discount just for signing up. If you drive safely enough, you get another discount each time you renew. Westfield doesn’t raise your rate if its app detects bad driving.

Westfield car insurance coverage options

Westfield offers all the normal car insurance coverages like liability and collision, but not much else. It does offer gap insurance , which some companies don’t have. It also offers roadside assistance, but so do most other companies.

If you only get car insurance from Westfield, you’ll pay extra for these add-ons. However, gap insurance is included for free in a WesPak home and auto bundle. The pricier WesPak Estate bundle comes with free roadside assistance.

Westfield’s standard car insurance coverages include:

CoverageWhat it covers
LiabilityInjuries to others and damage to their property
CollisionDamage to your own car from a collision with another vehicle or object
ComprehensiveYour vehicle for theft or non-collision damage like fire, flood and vandalism
Uninsured motoristYou and your passengers for injuries caused by a driver with no insurance
Personal injury protection (PIP)No-fault medical coverage for you and your passengers, plus lost wages and essential services
Medical payments (MedPay)No fault medical coverage for you and your passengers

However, Westfield does not offer some useful add-ons like:

  • Accident forgiveness
  • Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts coverage
  • Diminishing deductible
  • Pay-per-mile insurance

Many other car insurance companies offer some or all of these features.

How much does Westfield charge for homeowners insurance?

Westfield offers affordable home insurance for $1,969 a year, or $164 a month. This makes it a cheaper option than most major companies. Its rates are 30% less than the national average ($2,801 a year).

Home insurance discounts from Westfield

  • Bundling your home and auto policies in a WesPak or WesPak Estate package
  • Being a loyal customer
  • Getting an advanced quote
  • Having protective devices and alarms in your home

How Westfield’s home insurance coverages work

Westfield offers the normal insurance protections for your home and belongings, plus a few extras.

All Westfield home insurance policies include increased replacement cost . Some companies charge extra for this coverage, also known as extended replacement cost.

Westfield also offers a half-dozen home insurance add-ons. Two are particularly noteworthy.

  • Westfield’s inland flood endorsement covers flooding from events like rapid snowmelt and/or excessive rainfall. Standard homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage. Depending on your flood risks, this add-on may be a better option for you than stand-alone flood insurance.
  • Westfield’s service line coverage covers the cost of repairing or replacing an underground utility line. This can get particularly expensive if workers have to dig through concrete to get to a damaged water, gas or sewer line.

Like most other companies, Westfield’s basic coverages include:

  • Dwelling coverage for your home
  • Personal property coverage for your belongings
  • Loss of use for temporary living expenses after a covered disaster
  • Personal liability for injuries and damage to others

How to get insurance quotes from Westfield

Westfield is widely available through independent insurance agencies in these states:

  • Illinois
  • Indiana
  • Iowa
  • Kentucky
  • Ohio
  • Michigan
  • Minnesota
  • Pennsylvania

However, an independent agent can’t get you quotes from companies with exclusive agents, like State Farm and Allstate. You have to contact these companies separately.

Our team of insurance experts rated insurance companies based on several categories. These categories include average rates, discounts, coverage options, third-party customer service ratings and app/website experience. We weighted these categories based on what customers value in an insurance company.

For third-party customer service ratings, we included complaint index scores from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) and financial strength ratings from AM Best. NAIC complaint index scores are used to determine how satisfied customers are with their claims, while financial strength ratings from AM Best reflect the ability to pay out claims.
