Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

PLEASE BEWARE, USE THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK. A broker recommended intact insurance due to the quote. We decided to go ahead with it. Intact left file pending for a good couple weeks. 4 times I went to Service Ontario to obtain a sticker renewal and I was not able to. The broker contacted Intact several times and they had excuses. Finally, they resolved it due to leaving my file pending. It was until after the first month we noticed an increase. They said oh you cannot get winter tire discount. I said why I have winters for all my vehicles. Then they said you have to have a receipt. So I went and purchased brand new winter tires. Provided them with the receipt and still, it was enough for them to give me the discount. They would not take pictures of cars or anything. Then the second month we noticed an additional increase. I contacted the broker again. The broker contacted them and they came back to say that the monthly increases were because I am supposed to have an app on my phone. I said for what. They want to monitor your driving, how often you brake, where are you going, how fast you drive etc.. I said I never authorized any of that. Even at the beginning of when we got the policy, I said no to that. So their excuse was they increased me because I didn't want the app. my policy, by the way, jumped 150dollars a month more to almost 500 dollars. After several months of all of that, we decided to cancel them and go with another person where we are saving 200 dollars a month. It is illegal for an insurance company to increase your rates without notification.

I had insurance with these thieves for 2 years. Luckily never made any claims, who knows how much pain I would have gone through if I had to claim after reading the reviews here. OK, let me tell my story here: I bought insurance for my 2 cars and home with Intact. WITHIN 3 months they increased my premium $30/month, then in the next 3 months went up another $30/month, YET another $30/month in another 3 months. Within 9 months(that's is after I bought the insurance for a YEAR) they increased my premium $90/month(this is EVEN before it renewed)... Never had any accident/claim before or after I bought insurance from these thieves! I called up and asked them WHY, here is the answer they gave me (laugh if you feel like): IF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE gets into an accident, they would increase the premium for ANYONE insured with that same make and model of the vehicle!!! I asked them if I can cancel the insurance... they said I have to pay 2 months premium as PENALTY!... So I decided to stay until it expires.... then when the renewal was coming up I called up and see if they can reduce my premium... Guess what they were going to increase the premium even $100 a month MORE upon the renewal WHICH THEY NEVER EVEN would have told me IF I didn't call them up... then... they PRETENDED like they are concerned and asked all my records (with they already HAVE)... and gave me a renewal quote for $5/month more than I paid previously. Another reason they gave me for the increase in premium is that INFLATION! Can this be believed? WHAT the inflation of the economy is 300% a year!? STAY AWAY from them! Get insurance ELSEWHERE!

Bad company. Avoid using them. I'm insured through them, the only thing I changed on my policy is I moved from Leduc to Spruce Grove. They raised my insurance from 2216 a year to over 2700, just cause I moved. I called another insurance company and they quoted me 2100. Once my penalty for cancelling is lower I am gone.

I have a false car theft claim on my record. I was never informed by Intact. I found out through another insurance company. I called my broker who knew nothing about it. I called the Claims Department for 2 weeks and spoke to 7 different agents. The claims department said they had to investigate which would take 3 months. I told Intact that my policy was due and they said they would contact me before the due date guess what? They contacted me on the due date which was too late to switch to another company because of the false claim other insurance companies quoted me with high premiums. So I am forced to stay with them for another year. In the meantime, I have filed a complaint against Intact for mistreating, misleading, defrauding me to stay with them. They also increased my policy from $ 538 to $ 682 for no reason. Please don't join Intact!

Outrageous abuse. This Intact Insurance for Uber drivers is extremely expensive. If at any point you decide to cancel, they will even charge you a "Cancellation Fee"!!! Also, be aware that Intact share your personal information with the Police, in case you miss a monthly payment. Extremely abusive monopoly and invasion of privacy. They need to be sued collectively to reimburse for so many abuses!

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.

The best evaluation should be 0 out of 5. The worst ever Insurance company to my opinion, after the first insurance of 2 years that was a satisfactory amount they increased 27% the insurance amount without any reclamation requested. The discount also of 25% mentioned all days on TV is worthless, you cannot even reach 10% while riding a bicycle not a car. A way to get you and the year later they are more expensive than the other insurances. The broker refused to communicate with Intact and asked me it's my responsibility. Very impolite request.

The one page notice directs you to create an online account with a PIN provided by Intact. After two unsuccessful attempts to log on with their PIN, the form sat until our automatic renewal date, assuming the cost would be similar to last year. I found out thru my credit card account that Intact had raised our rates over 20% ...for no reason... no claims/tickets/late payments/etc...

As a high school student, and having Intact Insurance as my first insurance company has been the worst experiences by far. I was with them since I was 16 years old, paying $211 a month for my insurance, I am now 18 and all of a sudden they have without telling me or without sending a package in the mail have increased my monthly payment up to $343, in addition to this I have never received a speeding ticket nor have I been in an accident that was my fault. To make things even better I have not reviewed an insurance slip and have been driving without a proper insurance slip for a month now and they have not done anything to send me out a new one. When speaking on the phone to multiple insurance brokers I was told as an insurance company they have the right to increase insurance rates, how does an insurance company without notifying their customer to increase someone’s rate by $132 a month! This works out to be $4116 a year for insurance!! The worst part of it all in order to cancel, I must first cancel and then they give you the amount you must pay to leave.. intact insurance has been the biggest scam.. not sure how they can do this to a high school student who works a part-time job.

I have been very happy with Intact 'till this summer when they offered me a chance to lower my car insurance. I just plugged a device into my car and it monitored my driving. Everything went well until we started leaving one car in our garage while we spent many weeks and months at our cottage. We kept getting emails telling us to plug our car device in. I finally called explaining what was happening. They said the car had to be driven. Soooo, I had to get my daughter to drive the car out of the garage, around the block and park it every week so our discount would not be lowered. What a joke!!!! On top of this when the car sits for a week or two, they lower my discount amount available. What is the logic in this? I called My discount and they tell me to call my broker. I call the broker and he tells me to call My discount. This is useless. It has caused me more hassle than the money I can save. Do not use My Drivers discount unless you will be driving your vehicle all the time.
