Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

They will try to write your car off for a minor fender bender. Offer you a low amount for the car. If you fight to have car repaired and succeed. They will cancel you with only 21 days notice by registered mail if you have had 2 or more at fault accidents within 6 years. Don't use them they are horrible.

Save yourself a ton of stress, do yourself a favour and do not give your business to intact insurance. I was in a rollover incident that rendered my vehicle a total loss. It has been nearly a month and the cheque was just issued yesterday, and due to negligence it will not arrive for nearly 2 more weeks.

Aside from the outrageous wait, it was nearly impossible to get ahold of our claims adjuster 9 time out of 10. The customer service was not inviting or helpful. We are extremely frustrated and will immediately be cancelling our insurance in Alberta with Intact when this nightmare is put to rest.

Do yourself a huge favour, and don't even bother calling for a quote.

Quoted me a good price, signed up for said price; got charged WAY more.
Told me payments come out on the 1st of every month, took the money out 3 days early causing me insufficient funds and a NSF charge.
Agent that was spoke with tried to blame me for not having money in my account "at all times" because I "will never know when it will be needed"
MONEY HUNGRY COMPANY!!!

Customer service is sub-par. claims adjuster(s) tell you better to email them to get a response faster yet you either get a response from 1-3 days later or receive NO response at all. The claims adjuster's appear not to let you know what is taking place re: your claim-do not follow-up with you-you have to chase them down to get any info. my experience is 2 weeks after accident and I still do not have any definite answer on what is going on with the claim-car is undrivable and sitting at a bodyshop.

Wow where to start.

I went via a broker. I was given Intact as a suitable option for my Sedan. I was told I was covered for every eventuality imaginable, (including first accident forgiveness) - So it sounded like a dream come true so i decided to move my other car, an SUV and my home insurance policy to them also.

This was in Feb 2016. In May 2016, when i had an "at fault accident" (Which, wasn't even my fault, I was directed by construction workers who were blocking the entrance to my lane, and following their hand signals, i slightly scraped the side of my car on an invisible concrete bollard which nobody could see either in mirrors or blind spots)

So, i called Intact to ask if i should claim or not, and they insisted i did. They seemed so caring at the time. They insisted i used their recommended body shop, they insisted they give me a top of the range courtesy car whilst they "repaired" mine. Their "body shop" insisted that i needed a new Passenger front car door (i clearly didn't, it was only a scratch - but i went with it) i trusted them again. The new car door apparently cost almost $5000 (yet, i can almost guarantee that any other body shop would have repaired it for not even a fraction of that cost, and there was no need to replace it)

Everything seemed to be fine and months and months later (December) I got a letter from my broker saying Intact had refused to renew my policy, as i had an "At Fault Accident within my first 4 years". At this stage, i queried the "First Accident Forgiveness " that I had thought i had, but they said i didn't qualify for it for not being insured with them for over 4 years!! I then asked why it was mentioned in the phone call to the broker, and they said I had to prove it. I said, well since you record all phone calls, i suggest you pull the call and listen... but they refused saying it was my fault because i didn't read the "small print" of my policy. I begged and begged them, but they simply said no.

I am now in a position where i will lose both of my cars as I cant afford a new company that my broker found, the payments to Insure the cars are now 3 times more than the payments FOR THE CARS. So, I am going to lose my cars, and in tern, my job, so potentially, i am going to lose my home.... all because they conned me into making a claim on a feature that i did not qualify for in the first place!!

Oh - and to add insult to injury, we took part in the driving Discount program and had devices installed into both cars, I qualified for a 16% discount, my other half 18% discount due to "good driving" - however, it was totally pointless, they refused to renew so YOU LOSE THE WHOLE LOT!!

I am disgusted with Intact and advise everyone to stay well clear of them. They are the cowboys of the industry and are ruining peoples lives. I hate to think how many people they have put into the situation i am in. Car less, Job Less, and soon to be homeless. All at Christmas time too! Thanks Intact. You must feel so proud of your despicable selves.

Like many others, we were clients for 10 plus years. Unfortunately got the not an accident, other drivers fault, and car was totalled. We are getting the run around, stalls, delays, excuses. Don't return phone calls or emails. They don't seem to know what the other is doing. We get different answers every time we ask the same questions. We will be switching companies the second our claim is finalized. Horrible, horrible horrible experience!

So I was involved in an accident with another intact insured person. What I have noticed is total incompetence. From when they first say hi the people of Intact don't know how to talk to a person when people are in need. Furthermore no one communicates well with their co-workers or with their clients. I had to leave updated contact info 3 times. I had to continue to call and get after them to do their jobs and once Intact reps finally got moving they again make me feel like I'm the one causing all the problems when it's their workers lack of diligence and competence that has made this stupid situation worse. If you want to be treated like a number and made to feel worthless then Intact is for YOU! Otherwise get a policy with a smaller company you'll know were that extra cash went when the axe falls. BTW I'm 100 percent NOT at fault for my accident. And I am still treated this way.

After reading numerous reviews, I see many others have had the same complaint. Very difficult to speak to the same person, they do not call back after leaving numerous messages, conflicting reports and messages, promised a rental care, when I had to leave car at a garage for hail damage assessment there was no rental car there for me but I was told there would be-we do have coverage for rental, they deleted photos of damage, had to go back again! No one seems to take action on the claims, have two vehicles with hail damage, have been a client for 17 years with no claims, terrible experience dealing with this first claim! We will be leaving this company once settlement is completed if I ever get a return call! Waiting for answers, promised in an email we would hear within two business days, it has been 29 days and still waiting!!! Do not sign on with Intact. A no action company!!!!! Terrible service!

Terrible to deal with. My "representative" barely spoke english and they tried to short me significantly on my claim, even though my policy said otherwise. Look elsewhere for insurance, I did and I saved 50%
