If your low income Avoid!!!

by Lori on Oct 11, 2022
2 out of 5 stars

I have been with Economical for 2 years... when our income changed we had to go on monthly payments which were fine until our bank account got hacked. Economical slapped on a non-pay when their payments bounced, and they canceled our insurance. We fought for 2 months to get the non-pay removed. They left us without insurance trapped in our home.. having to cancel medical appointments. Both my husband and I are disabled and need our vehicle as to shop we have to drive 25 minutes to the nearest town. Economical refused to reinstate our policy we were told we would have to get a new policy. After 2 months Economical reversed the non-pay and reinstated our policy only to turn around and want the 2 months we were without insurance. I advised my Broker that if they tried to take their payment it was going to bounce again as we get our money at the end of the month hence why we ask to have withdrawals for our insurance on a specific date each month. Our Broker called them and explained our situation but Economical was not empathetic nor did they try and work with us. We explained they could have their money at the end of the month… they told our Broker they couldn’t stop the system they are still going to try and take it on Oct 12… which is going to hit us with another non-pay.
Why can’t insurance companies have some compassion for seniors with low income?

Disrespected and ignored

by Feeling alone! on Sep 20, 2022
1.7 out of 5 stars

It's been a week since I called and made a claim. I have made many calls and my car is still in a towing company's impound. The agent first contacted has not responded. The next agent said I would hear from her by end of the day, but that did not happen as promised. No one seems to be looking into anything from my end and no one seems to be taking care of my car or answering me.

Feeling Ignored is terrible.

Horrible adjuster!

by xlc19x on Sep 13, 2022
1.3 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

It has been months since my vehicle was stolen. I had 1 call and now no one will answer any calls or emails. I have personal belongings inside the vehicle that I need and no way to get ahold of them to be able to retreat them. BRIANNE is representative. That iv been dealing with. Insurance payments keep coming out of my account as well. Go anywhere else for your insurance

The rating would be 0 if the option allowed for it

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

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.

Worst insurance company

by AXdecora on Jul 26, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

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

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.
