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.

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.

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.

My car was stolen, but Economical is the biggest thief.

I've been dealing with my insurance company for the past three months after my car was stolen, and the experience has been incredibly frustrating. Despite the time that has passed, they have yet to provide the compensation I'm entitled to, no one responded to my emails and phone calls and the delays are causing significant inconvenience. It's disappointing to face such challenges during an already stressful situation. I'm exploring other options and considering seeking legal advice to ensure a fair resolution. Overall, not the level of service and support one expects from an insurance provider. The case adjuster just lie and lie and lie, no responsibility, no compassion. They don’t care that I'm a human.

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.

Cancellation

by Pissedoff on Sep 14, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Called these people in January about canceling my policy as I wasn’t happy with their services, they refused to cancel when I called in January. They then turned around in February and cancelled the policy claiming it was for nonpayment, because of this I’ve been getting problems trying to get insurance through another insurance company. I’ve been calling them every other day for almost a month now and all I keep getting is a manager would get back to me. Finally spoke to a Manager on Tuesday and he then told me he would get back to it’s Thursday I need to get my car back on the road and it’s like it’s a game to them. Called 3 times today first call 11:50am it’s now after 2:30pm and everytime I call managers just happen to be in a meeting.

Bad company

by De-Gaulle Armstrong on Oct 15, 2021

They don't answer customers. You can be on phone for a whole hour wanting to reach them. I had a rental by them and they called me, I mean one representative of Economical Insurance called to change the return date for my vehicle rental. I went by her words and it looks like she together with the rental company are trying to rip me of 170 bucks. All efforts to reach her by phone and email are fruitless. I can't get back my money I deposited for the rental either.

Poor Communcation

My broker advised me that if your circumstances change, and you no longer fit their "target market / demographic" they will do crazy things, like jacking your rates through the roof to encourage you to leave. Well, it worked! I tried to add a second vehicle to my policy and my payments went from 150/month to 750 per month. Without the second vehicle, I'm suddenly $322 per month. This is basically highway robbery, and I would only recommend this company to my worst enemy. Also, these guys are next to impossible to get a hold of. Emails will often go several weeks without a response until you hound them again!
