WHAT A JOKE

by Justin on Mar 22, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

My truck was stolen, no one ever came to see me like they post will happen within 24 hrs. Had to find my own rental cause they couldn't get me one. Had to fight to get reimbursed for the rental, even though they gave me a rate and everything, that I didn't exceed. It took over a year to finally get my vehicle repaired back to normal. Had to fight tooth and nail with them non-stop. Came to the point where I had to almost get a lawyer. They should have wrote the vehicle off, it was brand new, I didn't even have 100 kms on it yet. But they wanted to give me $17,000.00 - that's less than what I just bought it for. Of course I refused, so they fixed it and paid over $2000.00 for what I bought it for to repair it. Makes you wonder why we have to pay for insurance when they can get away with things like this and yet we have to have it and pay for insurance... Why???

Don't use intact!

Agreat company until you actually need them. Got hit by a car who ran a stop sign (my part of the road didn't have the stop sign) so 100% not my fault. My car was written off and undriveable yet still took 5 days to get a rental car and the only reason I got it was my dad took over and reamed them out for 1/2 hour. Tried to claim that the driver of the other car never spoke to her insurance yet so they couldn't process anything. We called her and she not only had but also her car was already in the shop and had a rental. Took another week for them to give me the money for my car and wanted to take my car from the yard it was at before they paid for it luckily my dad knew the guy who owned the yard and stopped them from removing it. All very shady stuff not to mention because I got into an accident a week before the insurance renewal date I couldn't cancel like i wanted to because it was in the middle of a claim. So stuck with them for another year or have to pay the expensive cancellation fee.

Not a Canadian service

Our trusted broker submitted our claim. Nobody called from Intact. We have to call just to the hotline. And wait for more than one hour every time we call several times per week for a month now.
Someone put it wrong in our statement. Over one month we are trying to get the car fully repaired. The adjuster never returned phone calls.
Escalated to the manager via voicemail box.
Insurance broker got in touch and they told me about calling us. Nobody called days later. The car is in service, no explanation why missing parts are not approved and they are not paying for a rental car, which is in the policy.
Calling to English speaking line is getting switched to QC and they have to switch it back to Ontario and it is extra time to wait. One person from Intact did confirm this one and only line to call has been terrible for over three months now.
Their web portal is not allowing to log in to review the estimate. It is not recognizing their own policy number. Reported this bug, but nothing happened.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

WORST INSURANCE COMPANY

I have an ongoing auto claim with Intact Insurance. Their processes are super slow and I have had the worst experience ever. I am being delayed for more than 2.5 months for my total loss vehicle cheque. They didn't even pay the car rentals and they charged me $2000 on my credit card. I don't recommend anyone the get insurance from this company. They want you to die for the money that you deserve. Upon talking to the higher officers as well you get no response and no time limits. Instead, they suggest you sue the company if you want compensation for the losses you are going through.

Negative rating always. I have also asked a few of my friends to change their insurance company. No one pays to get harassed or get mental depression when you are in a bad situation already cause of the accident.

Had a total loss claim

My car was a total loss and I was not at fault. Took 1 month after car getting quoted for them to give an offer, (after I called wondering what was going on) - they had system glitches. Anyway, they offered me the low side of car value. and I tried to negotiate. Once they give you an offer they cut off your rental car, even though they caused a 2-week delay by not being organized, and I have unlimited rental car coverage as it was not at fault. Customer service was rude. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY

Bad Business practises

I had an accident that was not our fault. The vehicle was a total loss. They reduced our vehicles value. Then took away our Rental. Once they give you an offer they can take your rental away. It has now been a fight to get anything from them. Going on 5 weeks and they are not getting back to me. Strongly advise finding another insurer as Intact is not there for you when you need them.

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

all they want is money

On June 13 my Toyota van was rear-ended while I was stopped at a red light. My Intact experience began with their representative over valuing my vehicle by sending me ads from out of town dealers showing asking prices when I sent sale prices to him from my local Toyota dealer he refused to budge on the decision to deem it a right off. The body shop that I was sent to had my van for 74 days when they called and said it was finished. Upon inspection I noticed several defects and refused to take it back, a few days later the shop called again, upon the second inspection I noticed there was a small dent in the rear door which had been replaced. I demanded they replace the door with a defect-free one, the insurance company refused with their adjuster actually saying "if we fixed cars the way our customers wanted we couldn't keep the cost down" and "sometimes we use dented parts" also a dent that occurred during the accident was fixed with body filler against my request for a proper repair. The third inspection, bumper skin was not fastened around the wheel wells and underneath and a 1/2" misalignment of the rear door was noticed midway up the driver side rear panel. I believe the body was knocked out of alignment in the collision. The adjuster said they could fix it by replacing one of the rear hinges. The hinge is not damaged. Nobody from Intact wanted to listen to my opinion or hear my complaints. Now they are saying they will just carry on with the repairs and if I am unhappy in the end I will have to get an appraisal from someone else and will have to sue Intact. 1 1/2 years ago the MOT in Ontario charged me tax on a vehicle valued at $18000, so far the Intact has spent $14300 on repairs with more to come, my rental car so far has cost Intact over $6000. Over $20000 spent so far with no regard for customer satisfaction. I don't know how this company is still in business. They hurt me far worse than the guy who hit me.

WORST INSURANCE COMPANY

by WES on May 3, 2019

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.

Awful

by Bad insurance on Feb 12, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

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.

Do not honor replacement value

by JD on Jan 3, 2019
1.5 out of 5 stars

In August we had a collision with a dear and we have a replacement value clause on our insurance contract. The car was not severally damaged but the airbags deployed. Intact took 1 month just to figure out if it was a total loss or not. After fiddling with the evaluation report (putting ridiculously low hourly rates) they managed to pass it as a repair. When I was contacted to recuperate the car I asked for the total costs and it totalled $27000 + $5000 for the courtesy car. Today they refuse to pay the rental company for the courtesy car and they are holding our deposit and after such a pricey repair on the car, it is now worthless (lost about $10000 of it's resell value). If you want replacement value, do not go with Intact, they will find any way of not replacing your car.
