Economical Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I changed bank, so I changed my info with Economical and they kept charging my old bank, so now they are going to cancel my policy due to their error on not changing the bank info and charging me two $50 fees and my old bank two $48 fees. It has taken over a month to get a response from them and all I get is that I called to change my bank info in November.

Made 2 payments using a touchtone phone but received confirmation for 3 payments via text. So I called them to cancel the extra payment. I have yet to speak to someone. Over 2 hours on hold and still waiting. If I would have seen this site I would have not have renewed with them. I can only imagine the nightmare in dealing with a claim when you can not speak to someone.

Had an accident over 2 weeks ago. Claims adjuster has not called me yet! I called, left messages, no one returning my calls. I have been on hold with insurance claims for over 3 hours! This is my 3rd attempt with them to escalate my claim. As for the company they are using for claims adjusting - never returns my calls or emails. So my car has not even been looked at. Absolutely disgusting customer service

I have been on hold for over 2 hours waiting on the Economical Mutual accounts department to answer the phone. This level of service shows how unprofessional this company is. Called at 9:30 am on Tuesday. This company offers great insurance rates, but just hope you never have a claim or have to contact the accounts department.

It's very difficult dealing with this company. Sure their premiums are lower than other insurance companies' but they cannot be trusted. They do not even respond to registered mail!!!~ If they cannot handle registered mail or payment information, I have serious doubts about them handling a claim on my behalf... I have an excellent driving record.

After my accident, I was told by two individuals that because I've been paying car rental insurance that if I chose not to take a rental card, I would be compensated a daily rate. I jumped through hoops to borrow a car so I could use the rental car payment to help cover the insane deductible. On my last call to them, I asked how I would receive payment and was told via cheque. It's now been 5 months, so I called to check-in and have now been told I won't be getting a cheque and that it's not even an offer. I don't appreciate being lied to or misled. I do not recommend using this organization for your insurance needs. Go elsewhere.

I wish I could rate 0 stars for how horrible this company is... I had one accident that I was not at fault for and getting my claim was a nightmare. Then the day I got my car back from the shop I got pulled over and received a ticket for no insurance because they gave me an insurance card with no policy number and didn't send me a new one until 2 weeks later. Then they blackballed me. After fighting and fighting, finally, they gave me a bit of a break and my insurance was over $300 (again a bit of a break) then this year, instead of my insurance going down, it went up... to almost $600! Which is ridiculous. I found a new company that charges less than I was paying in the first place, so I dropped Economical. Okay, now here's the kicker, they proceeded to take out the monthly payment after they were cancelled and then charged me a cancellation fee on top of it. Long story short, Economical stole almost $1000 from me and refused to refund me even a portion. This company is crooked. Highly do not recommend.

I was shocked after they screwed up my insurance cards three times, after transferring insurance from one vehicle to another. Then they charged me $587.62. Unreal

My truck was insured with Economical Ins and in Nov 2017 my truck was stolen from my front yard in South Surrey, a busy street (26 Ave). During that time I was hospitalized and unable to deal with this immediately, so I had my executive assistant file all the necessary claims with RCMP and Economical Ins as to the theft. I relocated to the interior in Dec 2017 in the meantime. Still no resolution, it was a GMC pickup with 195000km, not a Ferrari. An investigator was sent to the interior to interview me for 15 minutes (on policyholders dime). I have been extremely frustrated with the level of professionalism at Economical, their ability to drag their feet over a GMC pickup. Quite frankly it is "comical" that their name is Economical! My next step is to contact the Ombudsperson here in BC as to what are my next steps.

After trying to set up a policy they changed all the requirements as were at the dealership. On top of that, they quoted us at 3,686 a year and that was with a 30% discount which I might add, she couldn't give us the full original cost before the discount because they don't offer non-discount rates. Called a broker and in 5 minutes he got us a quote for over $700 less with no discounts. I would rate 0 stars if I could. The company with uneducated employees.
