Disrespected and ignored

by Feeling alone! on Sep 20, 2022
1.7 out of 5 stars

It's been a week since I called and made a claim. I have made many calls and my car is still in a towing company's impound. The agent first contacted has not responded. The next agent said I would hear from her by end of the day, but that did not happen as promised. No one seems to be looking into anything from my end and no one seems to be taking care of my car or answering me.

Feeling Ignored is terrible.

Long story short.... I paid my High premiums for 2 years with Economical. My wife and I have never had an accident claim in 44 years of driving. My wife dented our rear bumper and we've been fighting with Economical for weeks to get approval to get it fixed. The repair shop said that they are getting screwed around and that Economical is impossible to deal with. SAVE YOURSELF THE FRUSTRATION AND NEVER BUY INSURANCE FROM ECONOMICAL!!!

Economical service is infuriating

by Ian Harvey on Aug 5, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Economical's service is horrible. Been paying hefty premiums for many years and now couldn't even get a call back from the adjustors for nearly 3 full months. I had to call the company out on Twitter in order to finally get a call. Infuriating beyond belief. Now after having the one call with the rep, things have gone silent again, the rep handling my claim has disappeared, and I can't get any response. The experience has been the absolute worst. My advice: never let your insurance broker hook you up with Economical Insurance, and do not renew with them if you're already stuck with this company.

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.

If you have Economical - SWITCH

My experience from day one has been HORRIBLE. The intake person was extremely rude, which didn't set a great tone to start with. My accident (not at fault) was on May 3rd. I am writing this review on July 27, 2022. I STILL do not have my vehicle. Keep in mind there were supply chain issues. My car has now been ready since July 21, 2022. After leaving several messages and sending several emails, I still don't have my car. All this because they haven't removed my deductible and haven't finished deciding about covering my battery. My car isn't even two years old. Simple paperwork that isn't being handled in a timely fashion.
When leaving a voicemail, you are told that you will receive a response within 2 business days - NOT THE CASE. I haven't received a call back from message I left on 07/20/22. This is on top of several emails from my broker and the repair shop. I am so grateful for my broker! She has had to escalate this with a supervisor for the SECOND time. The first escalation with a supervisor resulted in ZERO contact. As of today, I await their call. Let's keep adding days on to my rental...
The stress of this mess is NOT worth it! Seriously, do NOT use them as your insurance company. The LACK of care about their customers and their lack of response is mindboggling.

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.

Worst insurance in Canada, unprofessional agents

by kamil omar on Jun 2, 2022

Economical Insurance is the worst insurance I have ever seen. Someone hit my car at the rear bumper mid of 2021 and up to now, they have never fixed my car. The adjuster never calls or reply emails or messages it’s 10 months and no response. Anyone insured with Economical Insurance should think twice and trice to find a better insurance company.

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.

My experience with Economical

by VERY Dissatisfied on May 9, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

On November 1, 2021, I had an accident. It may have been my fault, or maybe not. No one came out to check the accident site, and the curb I hit was never checked. At the very least said curb should have been flagged as it was unfinished and jagged at the end. There was so much unprofessionalism that occurred I wouldn't have the space or time to record all of it. My experience with this company finally came to closure the first week of May, 7 mos. for a small, simple, and easy claim. My agent at Drayton Insurance was the only one who did her best to see my needs were met. However, this was to no avail and I had to follow up on everything. This included speaking with claims managers, economical managers as well as the Insurance Ombudsman. Days and weeks went by before I would get a response from someone. I would give my concerns only to wait again for another professional to respond. There were adjusters who claimed to have contacted the body shop and a car rental company. With my follow up I found this was not the case. There was so much more neglect, dishonesty, and unprofessionalism that happened during those months that I'm left feeling very uncertain, and unprotected in the event of another incident. I'm still dealing with the stress that Economical's lack of customer service and informed ability has caused me and wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

Economical Insurance - There for You

by RUSS BENNER on Apr 21, 2022
5 out of 5 stars

We recently had a collision with our vehicle. We contacted the insurance company immediately (Economical) and they walked us through the process and what we needed to do. The claims person we talked to (not the adjuster) was sympathetic and understanding and provided clear and accurate steps for us to take and what would happen next. After they had done their due diligence, the adjuster contacted us, advised the car was a "total loss" and provided us with the amount they offered as settlement. The amount offered was in line with current pricing for the car being written-off, off and even included the sales tax on that price. We were more than happy and satisfied with the way the adjuster and others handled this claim, and the amount paid out on our behalf. We strongly recommend this company as they have proven to stand behind the insurance provided and offered fair compensation in a most difficult time.

It is April 8th, 2022 and I am still waiting for management to respond to my last request... These claim adjusters lie, change facts, ignore all correspondence and never look out for the insured's best interest... Although liability should have been fully established months ago... I am still being given the runaround... Soooo, I guess I've been paying for full coverage just to be screwed by my own insurance company... Best believe you all are getting sued! Disgusting behaviour this company has...
