A very positive experience in the circumstances

5 out of 5 stars

Reading the reviews here, I was not sure choosing Economical (Definity) had been a good idea until I needed to file a claim last month because of an unfortunate fender bender where we needed to have our car repaired.
From the first call to place a claim to the discussion with the adjuster to having our car repaired through a reputable body shop, everything went very smooth.
Every agents I spoke to were helpful and polite and customer oriented, specially an adjuster who was caring for our claim.
I truly wonder why all those bad reviews, but it does not reflect my experience.

0 Stars for Economical

Had the worst experience with them after filing a claim (not at fault)
They made me call the body shop and wouldn't deal with them directly.
They wouldn't answer emails, calls for weeks on end.
Failed to tell us my car was fixed 2 weeks after the fact.
Absolute garbage company, switched right after this experience.

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 will never use economical/definity or any associated company again

I’ve been a client of economical for years now, after hitting a moose with my truck this fall, i made a claim. After waiting a month to hear from an adjustor they offered me half of what my truck was worth as a settlement, i rejected the offer and going forward they have ignored my calls and emails for weeks in between each communication, they have belaboured this process so badly. Its been months of trying to sort this out and they are still low balling me to an insulting level and refusing to communicate in a timely manner. I will never use them again.

Worst Service Cannot Be Found

It is an insurance company from Hades and that is where it belongs. My car was stolen - they have offered the lowest possible price - they refuse to back up the price offer with documents - they provided a rental car for a short period of time - they are demanding I get an appraisal on the car I do not have. No appraiser can appraise a car that they cannot see. But this adjuster is telling me to get an appraisal. He rejected all the information provided by professional car people.

My only suggestion is to leave. Believe me you pay a very high price if you have to make a claim.

worst auto insurance company ever

Worst insurance experience i ever had.
I had an accident on july 1st 2023, my claim was settled in oct 2023.
their agents are so illiterate and unprofessional they will drain your energy and time.
worst part is even after ending my policy they are still deducting money from my bank account, if anyone has any doubt i am willing to share the screenshots of everything i mentioned.
If you are looking for an insurance please find a professional company don't waste your money by choosing economical insurance.

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.

Awful service

Someone from Roger's came up my driveway to do a cold call. When the representative got back into his vehicle he backed into my deceased fathers car.
The car is a limited production car, it was signed by GM line workers who assembled the car as my father worked for GM. From the first time we spoke to a representative from Economical he told us the car will be considered a write off prior to seeing the vehicle. I have been dealing with a rep who is totally incompetent. We told them we do not want the car to be written off as it holds so much sentimental value. I have not received any calls from him since September 5, 2023. I have tried emailing him and all my emails are being returned. I have called and was told I would hear back from Mark within 24 hours and he has not called back. I then called after the 24 hours to escalate the issue. Today, September 15th 2023 a tow truck drive came to attempt to take the car to IAA which is an auto auction. Very sneaky. Needless to say, the car did not leave my driveway. If something doesnt get resolved I will be taking this to the ombudsman. I have taken the car to 3 auto shops who have all said the car is not a write off. I would never suggest this company.

False Claims!

They reported a claim on my Equifax for 50k and when I reached out to find out what it was all about no one can answer me. Oh, and I don't have a policy with them!
