Worst insurance company

by AXdecora on Jul 26, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I have been trying to contact my insurance agent Khalid since July 6. I have left numerous voicemails, and emails and even have had my insurance broker reach out and heard nothing. I have wasted countless hours on hold with Economical's customer service line only to be told everyone is in meetings and they can’t give me any information and will have someone call me by end of the day.
This is the worst experience I have ever had and I highly DO NOT recommend it.
My car was supposed to be fixed within 4-5 days and am going on day 31.
Absolutely horrific experience.

Horrible to deal with for a claim

by Never use economical insurance again on Jun 7, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

From my experience, they are by far the worst company to deal with for a claim. Setting up the claim was straight forward. They were too busy to take a look at the car and wanted it released into their own yard and threatened to charge us storage fees. Many phone calls to them with promises of callbacks, nothing returned. One of the guys who called was very rude on the phone.

Worst Claim experience

They have the worst process and people working in claim department, specially adjusters. They never pick calls and reply your over emails. When you ask for justice, they will ask you to provide irrelevant documentation and then put your claim on without prejudice and then delay as much as possible.

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.

A very positive experience in the circumstances

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.

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.

I needed car insurance for 6 months and now have paid an extra 3 months and they will not send me a form to cancel!!!
I have called twice from Australia and email errors from here. So these criminals are still trying to collect and the vehicle is in storage since November.
What the hell????

Auto & Home insurance

by Dissatisfied on Dec 28, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Customer service is terrible for both auto and home.
They are expensive to boot.
They did not approve a home claim and had no expense when it was fixed. They threatened to cancel the insurance if the problem was not fixed by a certain date- even thought the supply chain problem caused major problems for getting workers to fix the problem.
The non-accepted claim was recorded as a bonafide claim.
After a car crash, the adjuster would not check out a witness' statement. Which may have altered the settlement.
He did not answer many e-mails. Very bad experience. Very bad adjuster.

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.

Absolutely Horrible

I'm at my wit's end with this terrible insurance company. My truck was stolen in September, and they've been nothing but a nightmare to deal with. They won't even give me a rental car because they're "investigating," whatever that means. I've given them every document they asked for, but there's been zero progress. Trying to get a hold of the adjuster is like talking to a brick wall – they never answer calls and only reply to emails after I've sent a bunch. It's the absolute worst communication I've ever experienced. They won't even give me any updates. Here I am, four months later, still waiting to find out what's happening. It's just ridiculous.
