I'm justified at fault accident ruined my insurance prospect

1.3 out of 5 stars
All I wanted was a name change on a policy of RBC and was on the phone for 3 hours. This is the worst service I can ever imagine. How bad would it be if I had a claim?
I had a critical situation where my brother drove my car and had bad accident. The support i got was amazing! He was empathetic, he was kind, understanding and provided wonderful customer service. Although my broker was not at all prompt and helpful but because of my agent my problem got resolved quickly. He is very knowledgeable and he knows the laws and rules properly.
The first time I enrolled with them, I got a better rate than what I had previously. In one year, they decided to increase my premium by 30% for no reason.
Once I sold the car, I had to pay cancellation fees and I was not reimbursed for last month which I paid in advance.
This is really pathetic!
Cheap, unprofessional company !
Never ever dealing with RBC anymore.
Especially your auto insurance the worst customer service ever since September 02, 2022, I was calling to cancel my auto policy because the car was sold so no need for it.
Every time I called waiting on the phone for a minimum of 4 hours. It took me more than one month and a half just to cancel my insurance and they said they can't refund me until I prove that I called many times by sending them a list of calls and such things. Seriously you guys are disgusting.
RBC insurance service is great, but to get connected to an insurance customer care support team is a nightmare.
The average wait time is 1.5 hours to 2 hours and they have big challenges in calling back service.
Looks like they are understaffed and not able to meet customers' needs.
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
I had to move out of the country for several months and no one would be accessing/driving the car.
Called in 45 days before leaving and was told that the best option would be a "suspension of coverage". The cost would be 15% of what my premium is.
Nevertheless, he suggested that it was too early to apply the change and to call back 30 days before my departure.
I did. I explain again my situation and and requested the "suspension of coverage" as suggested by the previous agent. This time I got a quote that was about 35% of my premium. I told her that I was quoted a much less amount and that she could confirm it by going to the notes in my file. Her reply was that the previous agent shouldn't have quoted me any value.
I decided to cancel, both, the car and house insurance.
We have home & auto insurance with RBC Insurance. It is simply impossible to get in touch with their customer service. I tried to contact them on phone for a continuous week every single day and failed. It’s a hopeless and pathetic service.
What is wrong with these places? You can't even speak to a human being for over 2 hours wait and then they hang up on you!!! Leaving RBC Insurance and going with a different insurance company that actually cares about their clients. RBC Insurance has no clue about customer service...
If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.
I have been with RBC for our home and vehicle insurance for over 7 years and the wait times are ridiculous. I was waiting for over an hour this morning and am currently online waiting over 1 hour 33 minutes (and ticking). This happened to me about a month ago when I needed to make a change to our automobile policy (close to 2 hours on hold). Ridiculous!
Word of mouth is the best (or worst) advertising and I will be advertising to friends, families, and co-workers to look for an insurance company that focuses on customer satisfaction in a timely and effective manner and to stay away from RBC.

RBC insurance have completely destroyed my ability to have car insurance because of their dishonest practices. They claimed that I had two at felt accidents in a period of 6 years. In my very first accident ever, a large rock fell from a moving truck that was in a parallel 3 cars ahead of me. It came flying at high speed thankfully under my car and damaged the exhaust. They never told me that this was an at fault accident. 2 years later I had to go to a critical doctor's appointment and a flash snowstorm started on my way home. There were cars illegally parked on the road and a truck came speeding by me. As I tried to correct, I hit some ice and gently tapped an illegally parked car. I reported this claim knowing that I would be held responsible, and it was just unfortunate circumstances. However, I never imagined that that would get me blacklisted for car insurance unless I want to pay $1,000 a month in high risk insurance. I can't begin to explain how damaging this is for my family, and I am so devastated. These people have absolutely no moral compass. I was a customer for 15 years.
