Economical Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

First off, I gave 2 stars for customer service because the front desk tried their best to get someone to call me back. I had to call over 10 plus times for a callback.

My adjuster Leiko - was rude, unprofessional, liar.

Economical team leads - empty promises.

Spend the extra dollars with another company. Not worth the hassle with this company.

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.

Long-time customer for 15+ years. Stayed with the company even when other rates were lower based on the mistaken belief that this was a company that could be counted on if an accident occurred. Just had my first claim ever. The adjuster claims the vehicle was a total write-off and worthless even though the resale value on used vehicles has jumped in price. The company was unwilling to even listen to logic and tried to strong-arm into agreeing to a below-market value for the vehicle. Very disappointing experience, zero concern or loyalty to a long-term customer.

I put a claim through Economical, they are the most incompetent people ever. The adjuster that we dealt with wanted us to do all the work. On top of that, he told us that everything would be covered and to expect a cheque in the mail. However, not the case at all. Lead us to believe all along that the claim would be covered, only to find out, that it wasn't. please read below--

"Upon review, the appraisers have discovered that the damage of the vehicle is not an insurable loss. This is not flood damage nor impact damage.

The water leak appears to be a mechanical failure around the windshield.

Unfortunately, you are not eligible to claim this type of damage"

Total incompetence on their part, I will never deal with them again.

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.

I had someone hit me and it was a hit and run and they never got back to me even the OPP or police don't give anything been waiting for a police report for over a month! The insurance industry is a big SCAM! All they do is take your money!

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.

I had a bad experience with Economical insurance. Especially the adjuster name Robert. I wish I can give less than one star to this guy. He is super rude and never ever answers the calls and emails…. He didn’t provide any rental car... My car is sitting in towing yard for more than a month now…. Never ever go with this insurance company!

Please do not use this insurance. They are awful. We had an accident on January 11, now is March 10th, nothing happens in our process. They don't even answer an email or phone call.

I don't know where to start. With the good, I think. This was my first claim ever in my 30years driving. My representative was perfect on my first call. Had me feeling confident that everything would be fine. It's been over a year my truck isn't completely done. I get the challenges of having to communicate via email or text but my truck was brand new with brand new suspension rims and tires I had done at the local Chevy dealer. Hit a snowbank at 30km/h maybe. I was assured by my representative that the body shop gave priority to econ. Claims. 4.5 months later after I was calling once every two weeks for updates they tell me to come to get my truck its ready. I get the invoice copy and we walk outside. 4th item on the list full factory front skid plate. Never hurts to look. So I looked. It still had the scuffs and scratches from the ice. It wasn't even ordered. The passenger side mirror had no cap so I had 1 white one black mirror. Looked at the rims and they weren't even washed. 3 center caps were broken and one was gone. Rims were scuffed scratched etc we sort it out I hop in my truck start it and every warning and engine light were on. I just finished telling me it just got back from a laser alignment and QC. I reported this to my representative via email I still have said the shop was going to Bill them for parts not even ordered. Not one reply! I finally contacted another representative who was great again. First call. My truck still isn't completely done and it's over a year and no communication from anyone. I thought this is why I got the extra third-party insurance. Absolute trash. Does anyone know what else I can do?
