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 Economical - SWITCH

by Jenn on Jul 27, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

Worst insurance 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.

TESLA REPAIR. Not at fault.

by Tesla on Jul 20, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

The insurance has assigned an adjuster that set up the claim and processed it in about 2 weeks. I drop off the car for repair yesterday. Verbally adjuster had told me to find an electric car rental and they will cover the rental as we are not at fault. Now he changed his mind and has only auth $82 for rent a car. Tesla rentals are starting at $199 and it has to be out of pocket.

Do not use this Insured company

by du huynh on Jul 14, 2022

My truck and dual axles trailers got totalled, and they offered my trailer for 300 ( three hundred ), what's a rip-off company. The adjuster is working hard for their $$$, and I would not deal with them again.

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.

Do not use Economical Insurance

by Bill on Jul 13, 2022

My truck was stolen 3 weeks ago and I called it in. A week later I called the police file number. A week after that my truck was found. 2 weeks since it was first stolen and I had heard nothing from the company. I call back and say it was recovered and they once again said someone will get ahold of me. 2 days later I called in again and finally got the ball rolling to get my truck inspected and back. A week after and I just find out my truck is still in the impound. It's been 3 weeks since the first stolen and in no way have the insurance company tried to contact me. You will waste your money going through this company, find elsewhere.

Unethical company

by No longer a customer on Jun 30, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

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.

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.
