The worst in the country! Never buy insurance from Pembridge- Allstate

1 out of 5 stars
If I could give this company a “no star” rating, I would. They screwed up in every department when I made a claim. Who was at fault (under investigation), lied to me on several occasions, tossed around from 6 different agents who did not know about my claims, forcing me to retell my situation over and over again and then never hearing from that agent again. After terminating my policy, they continued to take payments out, and charging me $50 fee for putting a block payment on my account. They still owe the therapeutic company for sessions. Very unprofessional and mismanaged company. If you want headaches, frustration and sleepless nights — choose this company.
Seems like they only work Monday to Friday and to reach out to an agent you have to keep holding for at least 45 minutes. If you have to call or report a claim on weekends or public holidays, then good luck. You won't be able to know what you should do. Because agents don't know anything. Once you have a contact with your claim advisor, the process will be smooth, but I feel like it is not worth money because when you really need information on what to do, there is no one with the right information available to answer your questions. I would definitely go with different insurance in the future.
My car was stolen in the April, and yet they did not sort out my case. During these periods a lot of time I was tried to contact through call, voice messages, email but no one answers. This company has unprofessional behavior and is wasting time.
I was involved in an auto accident when the other driver changed lanes into me while they had their wrong signal on and sideswiped my car. I reported my accident online and no one called me back. I had to call them several times over the next week before I could even get a hold of anyone.
When I finally did get a hold of them, all they did was ask what happened. I told them, and they said that it was an “at fault accident” and closed it without any further discussion. (5-min phone call)
I have pictures, witness statements, and it was even recorded via dash cam. All proving that the other person turned into me. They did not ask, want or accept any of the evidence. They are simply lazy and do not care who is actually at fault. They just want their money and do not want to actually do any work for it.
Terrible company that does not care about its clients.
I was hit by another car while at a stop sign. I’ve never really have been injured before. Pembridge insurance adjuster has made my life so difficult. I do not receive responses nor do any of the health care providers ( physios, massage therapist, concussion clinic or eye Neurologist). There is constant barriers put up and delays.
I could never imagine my own insurance treating me like this. I have a care team willing to help me but there are such delays which has not allowed me to return back to work full time.
I am a public health care provider and I would never deny a patient care ever. I am made to feel like I’ve done something wrong.
I called main office requesting change of adjuster or at the very least someone return my call but no one has.
My colleagues and family are in disbelief.
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.
Hello ! I bought 2 new cars and started working with this company, There was no problem we talked about everything with the broker after we got it. All my payments are automatic so long as they pull out of the card, they can get the money. I think they did this on purpose, for 2 months they did not receive the payment of 1 car. And yesterday a paper came to me about not paying. And of course 2 times the price, they have not written any details, they do not turn the phones now, even though it is me who is right. When I send an explanatory e-mail, they told me, you just have to pay. But what do I have to pay, why, how, why did not you get the money from the card in the automatic payment. As I said don't work with these people, I think they do it intentionally scammers.
Absolutely please refrain to do business with PEMBRIDGE INSURANCE. I have filled an auto claim for one month already. I have called many times in the last twenty days. Each time call goes to a third-party call center which could be in India or elsewhere. The call center just takes your messages but no reply and no action.
In between, I had a chance to speak to someone. They have a lack of knowledge and kind of rude behaviour. Their hours of operations are very limited. I maybe end up filing a lawsuit because my claim is still unresolved.
I called Pembridge after getting online quotes. The agent then gave me a quote that was double the online quote and that was double other quotes received online (I also verified the other online quotes with those companies and they held up). It was clear the agent had no clue what he was doing, failed to ask the relevant questions, and was only interested in seeing how much he could overcharge a customer.
I had no idea of all the other extremely negative reviews until checking after this experience. It is clear that anyone who is insured with Pembridge and had to contact them for anything has also had terrible experiences. Allstate, you are obviously aware of all the brutal online reviews in this as well as other forms - shame on you as well and congratulations on running your reputation in the ground as I would now never touch any product from you.
You need a negative 5-star rating for this company. Be warned and do yourself a favor and go with a reputable company.

I am writing to express my utter disappointment and frustration with Pembridge Allstate Insurance's customer service. Our claim, filed over two months ago, remains unresolved, leaving us without a safe vehicle or rental car.
Issues Encountered:
- Neglect of Claim Resolution: Despite numerous emails and phone calls, there has been no meaningful update or resolution.
- Lack of Communication: Unreturned calls and unacknowledged emails have been the norm.
- Safety Concerns: With winter approaching, our car's condition poses serious safety risks.
- Unfulfilled Promises: No rental car has been provided, contrary to assurances.
Conclusion:
Pembridge Allstate's indifference to customer needs is appalling. Their focus on collecting premiums without providing support is unacceptable. I strongly advise against choosing this insurer.
Rating Breakdown:
- Customer Service: 0/5
- Claim Resolution: 0/5
- Communication: 0/5
- Overall Experience: 1/5
Recommendation:
Avoid Pembridge Allstate Insurance. Their subpar service and disregard for customers warrant scrutiny from regulatory bodies.
Final Thoughts:
Insurance companies should prioritize customers, not just profits. Pembridge Allstate's conduct is detrimental to the industry's reputation.
Consider alternative insurers that value customer satisfaction and timely claim resolution. Do not waste your money and time, they are terrible. They do not deserve to be a service company in the country, should be banned from any service activities.
