Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I was in an accident at the end of 2018. I got rear-ended by someone, it was 100% their fault. My policy was set to renew at the end of July and they decided to increase my premium an extra $1,000 because of an accident that was not my fault. On top of that when I was dealing with them during the claim because of the accident the customer service was terrible. It would take SEVERAL attempts and emails to get some sort of return communication. The employees were terribly rude and unhelpful. They tried to make me take the rental car back before the settlement was even made because they kept dragging their feet about returning phone calls. I tried to search for cheaper insurance and everywhere else was more money, which is why I renewed my policy with them. After paying the premium they sent me a 'reissue' demanding an additional $157 on top of the $1,000 increase they have added already. This insurance company is an absolute joke. Would never recommend them to anyone.

Won't return emails or phone calls. Will not pay out when their client admitted full responsibility for totally off my vehicle.

I was with Intact for 5 years, and there was absolutely no phone call from them about an outstanding bill, then issued payment, only for them to auto deduct the payment again, if that pay had been successful, they wouldn't have had an issue I guess, but since that payment was not successful, they cancelled my account. Keeping in mind two attempts to pay the outstanding bill. Then the lady I spoke to was absolutely rude. Then I decided to cancel the policy with them. This was my first outstanding bill in 5 years with them. Now that I'm looking to commit myself to another insurance company, the insurance companies cannot access my Insurance history for whatever reasons known to Intact only. I was forced to request for a Letter of claims experience, only to be told that a mere letter takes 3 weeks to draft (how inefficient is this, I don't care how busy you are, its just a letter). My premiums went up every single year for the 5 years I was with intact, paying over $20,000 in premiums with them and all they could pay me back was make my insurance information inaccessible. I will never recommend this company to anyone, including, my relatives, friends, acquaintances, and anyone...

This is a very below the table company, I am extremely disappointed in them. Had to insure my truck and quad with a new company and chose Intact what a mistake. I had one speeding ticket a couple of years ago 63 in a 50 km zone. I couldn't remember when exactly the ticket was when talking to the rep over the phone. Here's the scam they quoted me 700 $ for the year and then I paid them for the year. Well after a couple of weeks I got a 416 $ bill from them demanding payment because the speeding ticket was within three years. Look out these guys will increase your premiums for one ticket by 60%. Stay away from these guys do yourself a favour so disappointed, I am stuck with them for the year but then I am getting out of this place.

I was jerked around by intact for over 1.5 months. I had a vehicle towed after an accident and had the tow company take my vehicle and lock it into a holding compound and refused to release the car b/c Intact refused to pay a $15 environmental fee. I talked to 5 “managers” and they assured me they would release the car that day. This happened 5 times was never handled until I had to threaten to sue and leave there business. They have zero consideration for there customers. Worst insurance company ever. They claim to be the cheapest out there. This I agree. You definitely get what you pay for. Not worth a dime.

I hope this message can help as many people as possible know that this company will find any excuse not to ever fix your car and pay the least possible amount. There was a big piece of metal that doesn't fit under the car in the middle of the highway. This piece hit the center of my car and swerved to the right side of the car where I drove over it with both my tires. When I went out, my foglight was broken, the car was scratched from the front center to the right side and all the way to the back. When they went to inspect, they refused to fix the foglight because it looked "Dirty" and refused to fix the scratches because they looked "Dirty" and ended up paying only 106$ to change my tires that were used only 1 winter! They refuse to believe any damages were caused by that incident, basically telling me I'm a liar indirectly. Now I have to pay 450$ extra from my pocket to fix all these problems that were caused by the metal piece in the middle of the highway. They did nothing for me, didn't even compromise and asked me to return my rental car before my car even gets ready or marking the claim as complete. I didn't even get the 106$ yet! Now I have no car, no check from them, spending more on uber, waiting to figure out what will happen to my car after these damages. Don't use their insurance. Overpriced and won't cover you.

After the accident, I was not informed with proper information. After I cancelled the policy, I was still paying auto insurance when I had no vehicle and when I realized and stopped the payment, they slapped me with cancellation for not paying the bill.

Intact insurance worked closely with their preferred body shop to deny repair to most of the damage from my accident claim. Even though the OTHER VEHICLE was 100% at fault!!! I was the one screwed over. I was returned with an unsafe vehicle that shouldn't be driven. The only way I found out was when I backed my truck up and turned the wheel - the tire ground against the wheel well. I returned to the body shop only to be told the wheel well need adjusting. Part of their big repair, the impact crushed the bumper in and damaged the wheel and tire, all the plastic shrouds and trim also damaged. They replaced everything visible and cosmetic, but upper control arm, the important part, that allows you to steer and affects the handling, performance and safety of the vehicle. That they don't fix!!! The only reason I found that was I went to a reputable shop and they within 15 min. found it and they never did a front end alignment either, not possible with that damage!! My front driver side wheel was shoved back 1 1/2" and tires were not aligned. When I contacted Intact, they refused to repair it, they said I probably damaged it from a pothole, he says they damage very easily from a pothole!!! Wow!!! So it didn't bend from a 5,000 lb vehicle smashing into me at 50 kmh? Just brutal!! They suck and so does their preferred lying body shop. Never trust them, they are a team, their #1 job is to not pay!! They changed one tire giving me unmatched tires, never fixed the CD player that jammed my CD and broke from the impact, the lousy horrible Bondi and paint job, I could have done it better, the bad customer service, it was a horrible nightmare, eventually I took my truck to another shop and had them fix and I paid again. So, as long as you're paying, Intact is there, you have a claim, they're gone!!

In 2002 my Lexus book price was $75,000. Now in Feb. 2019 Intact does not want to pay $3,200 for an accident claim and instead calls it a total write off! They want to convince me that the actual value of this car which is in perfect condition except now missing a corner of the front bumper should be put in the junkyard and tagged as a salvage vehicle. To make attempt to prove their point, they supplied me with a single comparable rusted out car on sale in Kijiji that had over 400,000 km on the odometer! My car has 200,000 km. They seem to try every trick to not pay a fair price and save themselves a few dollars. With a little research, I have lots of comparable car sales that can prove the current value is well over $5000 and this car is not a write-off. My advice to others is don't allow the insurance companies to lie to you. Challenge them and go the next step which is contacting their Ombudsman to settle.

My car is a total loss. Took 3 weeks to tell me that then the money was supposed to be direct deposited in my bank, 6 days later still not there. Then they told me to get out of the rental, I said: not without the money to buy a car. Then they issued a cheque Wednesday, supposedly sent it by courier Thursday. It's now Tuesday of the next week, no money, nobody can give you tracking information. This company has awful employees and service. I won't be renewing. FYI the total is not my fault either.
