Worst Claim experience

by Sunny on Apr 23, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

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.

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????

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.

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.

Absolutely Horrible

by Varun Verma on Dec 28, 2023

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.

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.

Very bad experience with claim adjuster

by cyle smith on Dec 8, 2023

Had a car run a stop sign, they were charged with dangerous driving and I had no fault in the accident. The claims adjuster waited 4 days to call me after I tried 2x to reach them.
These adjusters will not respond to email or queries regarding your claim. Just seems like a terrible customer service attitude despite you being the faithful customer.

When you need help, you get what you pay for. Cheap insurance = cheap service.
Reading reviews here, I can see others have issues with the claim adjusters.

I think the Adjusters are overworked and probably underpaid!

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.

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!
