Economical Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Brown & Brown insurance brokers and Economical insurance was insuring my father and myself at the time of his passing. Since he passed away I contacted them to remove him from the insurance policy and presumably reduce the cost of the premium. I provided a copy of the death certificate so that they are well aware of the situation.

I’ve asked the company to either reduce the cost of the premium or credit/refund the account for the overages being charged but Brown & Brown and Economical is holding out for documents produced by a lengthy backlogged court system to remove him from the policy and as such profiteering on the death of my father to collect a few more months of income. I have been told there will be no such credit or refund for the time passed since his death. They will simply charge me the full amount for myself and deceased father until the Ontario courts appoints an executor.

This process has taken approximately 30 days to get an answer from the company.

I highly recommend you do not conduct business with this company in any manner. When you are dealing with insurance they should be there when you need them and communicate quickly and clearly. This company offers none of these traits.

I booked insurance with Scoop, all was going okay.
After 1 year, they change my payments to pay for 2 months in advance.
I was paying last transaction 27 February.
Once a sudden, I'm receiving email that my insurance canceled due to non-payment.
I was not sleeping 2 nights to call broker to call economical.
They firstly could not see my transaction.
Then they ignore at all.
2 days in advance, they let me know that I can't drive anymore.
My family from Ukraine came, and I can't help them, I can't help myself, I can't drive to work, I'm in the middle of nowhere.
While my city is bombarded in Ukraine, I'm bombarded here with horrible attitude and 0 help.

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!

We have been Economical customers for 2 years with our Auto and Farm Policies. I paid our auto policy online with a credit card and then I get a nasty email saying I still owe them money. We made some changes to our auto policy because it was very high and transferred a trailer and ATV to our farm policy a month before renewal. However, because they didn’t process it in time we have to pay the higher premium amount in our first of 3 payments. Should have been 40% of the premium but they are forcing us to pay 54% for their incompetence. We will definitely not be insuring with them next year. Terrible company. Only interested in taking your money and one of the most awful insurance companies for customer service. Frankly, they just don’t care. Do NOT recommend it.
