  • Digital Experience
    You can initiate a home insurance quote on Amica's website, but you'll need to complete the purchase over the phone. Amica also allows customers to file and track claims online. The site features a unique Contractor Connection function, which pairs customers with home improvement specialists vetted by Amica., The Amica app allows you to view bills and policies, make payments, file and track claims, and contact a representative., When we contacted Amica’s customer service, we connected with a friendly representative in three minutes. We first inquired about whether Amica’s standard policy included actual cash value or replacement cost coverage for personal property. Although the website states that replacement cost coverage is optional, the representative informed us it’s always included, which corresponded with our sample online quote., The representative also confirmed that $5,000 of water backup coverage was typically included in a standard policy, with higher limits available. This also matched our online quote., We had less success with Amica’s 'virtual assistant' chatbot. Although it responded immediately, it did not provide the information we sought or connect us with a human.
