Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

WOW... INTACT, you might want to look at these reviews. My experience with CDI was wonderful (probably because I made one windshield claim 8 yrs ago). When Belairdirect took over, the rates began to inflate & now you guys have become the most expensive private insurance company. Your loyalty to long term customers obviously doesn’t exist. This past year (2018) I received my policy on my vehicle & the increase of 10% WAS NOT a nice surprise, the fact that you took away my windshield coverage was totally unacceptable. In 15+ years of coverage, we have had 2 claims on windshields & that’s it. This is how this company rewards the GOOD DRIVERS. They are willing to give up two auto policies & a home insurance policy for a possible but not yet $900 windshield replacement. Fingers crossed ...no stone cracks yet.

A truck backed into me a month ago. I am insured two ways, so covered in the event of any collision. I was deemed 0% responsible for the accident - had my car deemed a total loss, then told I could not have a rental car as the fine print on the contract (which is nowhere on the client's contract by the way) states that as of the day they give you their (lowball) offer on your total loss vehicle, they no longer cover car rental fees. I was able to drive my car after the accident and did so until they told me that in order to prepare the check for the total loss, they had to be in possession of my car. So I had to let them tow away my car - with no rental and a wait to get my check. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO SHOP AROUND FOR ANOTHER CAR WITH NO RENTAL AND NO CHECK?? I pay for the F.A.Q 21a, which is supposed to cover my replacement fees (rental etc.) for up to 2125$ or 75$ a day. They refuse to honour my contract based on fine print details that I do not have anywhere on my contract. Did I mention that I was insured both ways and deemed 0% responsible for my accident? These guys are warped...

Tried insuring with them, no claims in over fifty years. A lady hits me when I’m legally parked in a parking lot, not even in my car and they wouldn’t sell me a policy because I had a claim that wasn’t my fault and they said: apply again in six years. You’d think a person like me with no claims except one that wasn’t my fault would be the kind of client they would die to have. They're a joke in my opinion. Thank you Steve.

Filed a claim for a stolen vehicle that was taken from the shop where we had left it for repairs. Because the thief was known to both the repair shop and us, Intact told us we had a responsibility to work with local police service to recover the vehicle. Police service don't have the time or inclination to chase down stolen vehicles. In addition, the thief was a known violent offender and even if we knew how to find him, we weren't prepared to confront him and put ourselves in harm's way. To add insult to injury, subsequent to the theft, someone registered an illegal lien in our name against the vehicle. At that point, Intact claimed it had become a civil matter and they would no longer be working a theft claim but they refused to answer our questions about what conditions needed to be met to reinstate the theft claim. We ended up having to hire a lawyer to obtain court orders to remove the lien which was a long and nightmarish process costing us thousands of dollars. Now Intact tells us they know where the vehicle is as the title was transferred and it was sold (illegally) at auction. They can't tell us the new owner or location due to privacy laws but told us we must now attempt to recover it from the new owner. More court orders, more out-of-pocket expenses and a new, supposedly innocent, owner filing a countersuit. 16 months later Intact determined we had done enough and they paid out. But we lost considerable value over that time period as the vehicle market had declined with local economic conditions. We were also forced to pay the legal costs under the new owner's countersuit and we had no recourse to recover any of our legal expenses. The most ludicrous, frustrating, unethical, and aggravating approach to handling a legitimate claim that I have ever experienced. STAY AWAY!

We get insurance to have peace of mind when the unfortunate happens. Well, Intact screwed me completely. They denied my claim because the car was insured under me while the car was registered under my wife. I explained to the agent that I had mentioned this to the broker when I was insuring the car. Intact took no responsibility and said that it was mentioned in the file that the car was registered under my wife, therefore they would not cover the claim. I then spoke to the broker and of course, they also denied responsibility and I'm down 5k. Intact also denied to cover any towing and rental fees which was part of the contract, and ending up costing another thousand dollars only because Intact and the broker couldn't communicate properly and made me keep the rental an extra week, while I also paid for my car's impound cost!! I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford the expenses on my own, but if you do plan on going with Intact, make sure to specify all the specs about your car and the exact amount of KM you will be doing per year, it would be a shame if tell them you do 15 000 annually and end up 15 001 and your claim is denied!

Insurance is meant for the unfortunate event of an accident. If premiums are paid coverage is expected! We had a vehicle involved in an accident that incurred $3k in damages. Car was still worth $11K. Intact chose to write the vehicle off despite the damages being very repairable! We were using there GPS modules that tracked driving habits. With these GPS units we were getting regular reports showing how the drivers in our house were doing. As for the car they wrote off! We were still receiving reports months after the car was supposed to be in the scrap yard! Seems that someone at Intact perpetrated fraud by writing the vehicle off, then buying it at scrap value and repairing it for road use.

Gave me only 2,000 for a car that was worth 5,000 and said I could have a rental for a month. Then they forced me to return the keys back a week later telling me they couldn't cover it. They truly are a joke..

Was the third party of a claim where a cube van driver popped the front bumper of my 2008 Mazda 3 off. After waiting 2 weeks to have it towed to impacts assessment lot, they finally call me 3 days after having it at their location to tell me that the damages to my car are 3000$. She tried to tell me that my car is worth 4000 when I just looked up its black book value at around 6000, as well as aluminum alloy rims on it. They now are giving me the option of taking 4000$ for a 6250$ car or taking it back with maybe 2000 for repairs and a rebuilt status (meaning it has been rebuilt from ground up) even without structural damages. I purchased this car no more than 2 months ago and now have to get it ripped away from me. After this experience I can never suggest Intact auto insurance to another being. I was also talked to with a very demining tone. Worst insurance experience possible and I've only been with them for 3 months. I have been without a car for 2 and half weeks now and they have not offered a rental. I will be glad to be taking my money elsewhere and hope most, if not all, of you do as well, cheers.

My adjuster name is Heather. My car was involved in an 8 car m.v.a (moderator note: Multi-Vehicle Accident). I was the last car. I have a policy on my 5 month old brand new Chevy Malibu 2017 premier model worth 45 thousand. My adjuster has stalled the process and I am now without a rental and owe 386.00. She has put my claim for investigation on the 28th day into claim because I haven’t updated my address to 2 blocks where I am staying in tiny township. I bought the car in Hamilton and bought window tint and rims tires in Hamilton and thus making her suspicious of my address. I have stated that I have a family I stay with on days I’m seeing my daughter so now I must wait longer and possibly loose my job as I can’t meet my carpool rides to work. This has been the worst experience I have ever had with insurance. I would do whatever it takes to avoid intact insurance. They will leave you stranded and care more about not paying your claim than they do about investigating fault as I have not been notified of fault yet as well my accident was June 28th. It is now July 25th and I have no transportation. They never notified me of rental return date and wouldn’t return rental company’s phone calls. Very hard to get in touch with managers and adjuster. Today she notified rental that it was due back leaving me in the hole 380 plus tax. Great, thanks alot.
