• Age restriction
• Long Underwriting System
• Inconvenient Quoting System
• Limited Information Website

The Cincinnati Financial Corporation as a whole appeared on Forbes' America's 50 Most Trustworthy Financial Companies list. Not only that, but the company also received an A+ rating from A.M. Best. While they have developed a reputation of helping their clients, there are limitations to be aware of too:

Age Restriction

According to TopQuote, Cincinnati Insurance will only issue policies to people ages 0-60. Alternatively, people ages 61-75 can obtain insurance with Urinalysis only.

Long Underwriting System

Some have claimed that the approval process takes a lot longer than most other companies. This could be a result of it being a no medical exam company. According to TopQuote, "Underwriting (for Cincinnati Insurance) will consist of an application, medical history questionnaire, review of your MIB, MVR and prescription check. The average underwriting period for a general life insurance company lasts typically about 3-8 weeks, however, customers claim that Cincinnati Insurance can sometimes take a little longer than that.

Inconvenient Quoting System

Unfortunately, there is no way to calculate and compare price quotes online. Cincinnati Insurance only issues quotes and sells their policies through individual representatives. Sample quotes are not listed upfront on the webpage. Customers can try and locate a representative online or by phone. Not only that, since Cincinnati Insurance is an independent company focused on agents, commission rates may drive up the prices to a degree. Product availability does differ by state, and people need to contact their agent to find out exactly how.

Limited Information Website

Navigating through the website feels cluttered, and there is not a lot of information listed about how to file claims. Cincinnati Insurance does not display information on how it specifically handles claims either. The website could be made better by displaying more pricing information for customers to compare. Some customers criticize that in the past, Cincinnati Insurance has increased its rates at times.
