Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Brant H. was my broker. Rude, obnoxious, arrogant. Would not give me a straight up cost for my premium. When I got the copy of my premium in the mail, it was nothing close to what he told me by email. Nevermind the hassle of asking him to call me when he is available, he will go and tell you that he is "busy assisting others with claims, too busy, please email with your concern". Everyone in his office is just as useless. He always tells me to go talk to his assistants for help, so when I go ask them a question, I get referred back to Brant, they can’t ever give you a straight answer. Constant flip-flopping of questions being juggled around, prices never accurate. They really need to get their act together. Insurance companies are supposed to get you the lowest possible rate. Why is it that I could always go get a quote from another insurance company, and its ALWAYS lower than Intact? If you enjoy being ripped off and treated like crap, please go with Intact. Other than that, I am switching to TD, because my premium went down $2500 just from switching. What a relief. So happy I’m done with Intact. Worst Insurance Company with the WORST Insurance Brokers on the planet. :)

After being paid out $3,000 on my accident Intact without my knowledge registered a $14,000 "encumbrance" against the title of my vehicle , making the $28,000 car worth $6,000 on the open market. It was unsalable to the private buyer and unwanted by dealers as a trade-in. Intact failed to disclose the registration on title and until attempting to trade the vehicle I had no knowledge of their actions. While investigating my concerns it was brought to my attention that Intact Insurance had purchased Broker-link Brokerage in Dundas and for numerous years "neglected" to inform me that they in fact had never ever shopped my insurance needs to other companies for the best prices. For many years Intact and Broker Link overcharged me for auto insurance based on what many other people with my good driving record were paying elsewhere. Intact failed to fully disclose and broke many integrity rules. The Insurance industry Ombudsmen has been notified for investigation. For over 30 years I was a loyal customer only to find out that I was being very poorly treated and represented.

I had a terrible experience, I had 2 cars; First I was paying$420, all of a sudden they raised for $501 next month and then again they raised $550, I have no idea how much they will go up up. It is only few more months, I am not ever every getting the insurance and any from it. Too bad, I would not recommend to anyone because of the terrible experience

Got tired of rising rates, and girlfriend and I both went with PC which has much lower rates. Girlfriend went in and signed some cancellation papers at the end of her agreement, I just let mine lapse, I don't sign cancellation papers with Safeway because I start buying milk at IGA. They stole 2 extra payments from her acc. she changed banks and they sent her a bill?? They have tried to steal money from me, but I don't make monthly payments. Do not let them have access to your bank account! Do not deal with them at all. This has got to be some American scam, someone's post said they take extra money as some kind down payment in case you end up owing them money in the future??? It is theft plain and simple, and I don't want to see these shady practices in Canada!

Shiuld be -5 stars...Do not get insurance with them. i was with them for years. they are very good at taking money from your account. even when they shouldnt. and they wont give it back. they keep it as credit for you. if something happens they will not call you back. so forget being treated like a valued customer. it doesnt matter how many messages you leave with them. they drag their feet. they dont keep you informed and they flat out dont care. I WILL NEVER DEAL WITH THEM AGAIN. I suggest you dont as well.

A few years ago I moved and changed my address with Intact with no apparent problems. I received my new bill at my new address so everything seemed fine. Apparently one of my payment did not go through (I thought it had and didn't notice the non-payment). I received no notice from the company that they had not received payment until one day when my former roommates convinced the post office to let them pick up a registered letter meant for me. The letter was a final notice (I had not received a first notice) and that my insurance would be cancelled two days after I received the letter. Apparently, one department had not changed my address and they did not offer any apologies or do anything to restore a relationship with me. This year, I knew that my insurance should be due soon and I had not received a bill. I made a partial payment to time me over until I got the bill (I figured it was lost in the mail). My agent called me to say that I had made a payment on a closed account and that I had not had car insurance for over a year! After some investigation it turned out to be a superficial user error on Intact's end was assured that I had been insured on paper, just not on the computer system. They proceeded to send me 6 "bills" within 5 days that appeared to have random, arbitrary numbers with no explanation that contradicted each other. Every time I asked for a bill with proper documentation I got a "bill" with different numbers. Finally, I received a "final notice" and I still did not know what I was paying, but I need car insurance so I paid. I suspect they buried service charges for a payment plan when I would not have done a payment plan if I had received a proper bill in the first place. I am now shopping for a new insurance company. apart from these stories I have always made my payments early and only had one claim which was a hit and run on my car.

Worst insurance company ever. I started a claim with intact on January 25, 2015. It is now April 13, 2015 and nothing at all has been accomplished. The insurance company is telling me that they cannot confirm or deny any coverage on my vehicle now. What is the point in paying for insurance then? Now I am left with no settlement and I have the rental company harassing me for their rental vehicle back. I have not been paid out on my vehicle and I don't have the money to pay for my rental. It's been two months now and nothing is even close to being settled. My adjuster has taken two vacations since I've been dealing with her and I have now asked for my file to be transferred to someone else who can get this issue resolved. I will never recommend intact to anyone and I will not be using themever again. I am now in the process of hiring a lawyer. Avoid intact at all cost!!

They tell you that they are going to collect the payment on a date and they collect it before and then they penalize you for not paying. Customer service is not responding. Please stay away from this company.

I just had minor scratch on my from bumper left which happened after contact a cycle rack on a parked car. So i thought i will check with my intact and they said i have to pay $500 from my pocket and the rest, they will take care of...
I dont know how they replaced the front bumper but the bill was more than $2000!!! For what? I was asked to pay $500 which i did but i think its a scam they are running to fool people... I could have replaced the bumper myself for less than $400... but intact made a bill of more than $2000 from which i had to pay $500...this is unacceptable and unethical. I AM LOOKING for other car insurance companies who may not fool me..

I was rear-ended. 100% the other guy's fault.
Intact customer for about 20 years.
I wanted to use a collision shop that I had used before and I was comfortable with. (And it is my legal right to use the shop of my choice)
Intact refused to deal with them at all.
They used an estimate from their own preferred shop that (apparently) wasn't planning on fixing everything, or fixing it properly.
In the end, Intact paid half of costs and I am out of pocket $4400.
Will never buy Intact insurance again.
