Absolutely horrible and dishonest

by G C on Apr 5, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

There's are a reason Pembridge is cheap. You get what you pay for.
Pembridge penalized me for taking a cash payout instead of fixing my vehicle after submitting a claim where the other driver was at fault. My vehicle is older and it was mainly paint damage; not worth me fixing. Other insurers don't do this.
Another claim they tagged as 50/50 had a net payout of zero because no damage to my vehicle and the other party didn't complete their claim. I find out 3 years later that 50/50 means both parties at fault.
So I have an at fault claim that affects my rates when no money paid out.
Both incidents took way too long to resolve. Claims department is backed up and busy.
Avoid Pembridge at all costs.
Cheap at the start but will cost you in the end.

pembride is not valuing its customers

I was in a mental distress and deposited the money in a wrong account. Two months later, they cancel my policy. I could have paid all the premium in one go!
Very heartless for customers who are with this company for almost 10 years. Things happen, but the way they treated me was very bad. I don't recommend them to anyone. I never claimed anything, never missed a payment, but the way they acted, I will not be them for too long.
Bad Business ethics.

Pembridge Auto Insurance has been nothing short of a nightmare

by Yoandry Collazo Barroso on Feb 21, 2024

I regret to say that my experience with Pembridge Auto Insurance has been nothing short of a nightmare. From exorbitant pricing to abysmal customer service, this company has failed on multiple fronts.

Firstly, let's talk about their pricing model. When I initially signed up with Pembridge for my 2015 Jeep Wrangler Zahara 4d, I was shocked to see the monthly premium set at a staggering $480. Their justification? The vehicle was over 6 years old. Fast forward to November 2023, when I upgraded to a brand new 2023 Jeep Wrangler 4d. One would expect the premium to decrease given the newer model, right? Wrong. Instead, it skyrocketed even higher, all because the car was new. How does that make any sense?

But wait, it gets worse. A payment issue turned into a complete nightmare. Due to a fraud alert on my credit card, my payment to Pembridge was affected for less than 24 hours. I wasn't even aware of this until I received a letter in the mail two weeks later, stating that I had lost my monthly payment option and was now required to pay the entire year's premium upfront, totaling around $5,000. Despite immediately reaching out to both Pembridge and my bank to resolve the issue, it quickly turned into a bureaucratic nightmare.

Pembridge demanded a letter from my bank explaining the situation, which took over four weeks to arrive. In the meantime, they not only canceled my policy but also left me uninsured for a month and a half, with a red flag on my record due to their incompetence. Despite my repeated attempts to rectify the situation and offer alternative payment methods, they remained obstinate, ultimately leaving me in the lurch.

In conclusion, Pembridge Auto Insurance has not only demonstrated a complete lack of understanding and flexibility in their pricing and payment policies but has also showcased abysmal customer service and bureaucratic inefficiency. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere for your insurance needs.

Extremely stressful while trying to recover from not my fault svvifent

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.

Truck got into an accident 5 months ago. It’s still sitting at the body shop waiting on approval for repairs. It was a third party at fault and they still won’t give approval to fix. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

They took 12 days to call me about my claim

My car is undriveable after an accident. It took Pembridge 12 days for first contact about my claim. 18 days after my accident and my car is STILL sitting in the tow yard where it was put right after the accident. No answers, no forward movement, nothing. EXTREMELY frustrated.

Absolutely terrible customer service!

Had my truck broken into and culprits totally ripped apart my steering column
This happened over a month ago and I have been without a vehicle since
The auto body shop said there’s more damage than the vehicle is worth
Everything is at a stand still and absolutely no word from Pembridge as to what is going on! I was told it could take 6-9 months! Meanwhile I am without a truck and I am not told if they are fixing it or writing it off!
DO NOT EVER USE THIS COMPANY!!!!

Useless people

My claim is now at day 21 and my adjuster has yet to return a phone call she went on holidays and left my claim with another useless adjuster who after 4 days of calling will not return a phone call either. I’ve called the 1-800 number and they just put another not on the file saying I want to speak to the adjuster. This is the most incompetent company I’ve ever dealt with ….. I’m hoping next week the adjuster will return my call if not I don’t know what else to do . If anyone ever suggests pembridge insurance to you say he’ll no !!!!! If they wanna improve anything they should change this review so people can rate them zero stars. So once again don’t sign anything with this incompetent company.
Thanks Bill

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.

It's a disgusting experience

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.
