Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Do not sign up with Intact. We had an accident out of province - the phones lines were crossed (calling the number on the back of the insurance card led to intact Quebec not Intact Ontario, leading to more confusion); waited over an hour in winter on side of the road to speak with someone; the person we dealt with was unfriendly and unhelpful; we ended up sourcing the solution to the car fix/replacement vehicle ourselves. The whole situation was stressful and Intact refused to pay for services deemed safe and necessary by more than one mechanic. Terrible service, terrible coverage. The last people you want to deal with when you’ve just had an accident. Leaving Intact as soon as I can - hoping to save others from this totally sub-par experience. **would have given zeros stars to this rating but it was not an option*

A 1 star is way too high for Intact/Brokerlink. This company has a revolving door of rude, undertrained, and ill-equipped staff who are unable and unwilling to work with clients. Every interaction with this company was painful. For example, a simple address change took 5 associates, 6 follow-up phone calls, 10 emails and 4 months and they never got the address correct. When I cancelled my insurance they continued to charge for months after the cancellation. Multiple complaints and the "manager" that contacted me had no authority or ability to resolve the issues. Simply a brutal company with little regard for their customers.

I hadn't read reviews until now, thank goodness I didn't get insurance from Intact!! I requested an online quote and then followed up with a phone call. I provided my name & address, and reluctantly my birthdate. I said I just wanted a quote. I was told I needed to provide this information in order to "get to the next screen". I was then asked for the VIN for my vehicle. I said it's a long number and it wasn't necessary at this stage because I wasn't sure I would be purchasing insurance, right now I just wanted a quote. I then said I wasn't happy being asked this... I didn't raise my voice or say anything rude and was hung up on! No explanation, no clarification. Thanks to the customer service representative I didn't go any further!

I am new and inquiring about a policy quote for my vehicle. The customer service was rude of asking a lot of questions and when I said ok, I’ll call another insurance to inquire, he just put the phone down. Very rude, not accommodating, and doesn’t like a new customer!!!

So vehicle insurance is up for its yearly renewal during a pandemic. We were not driving anyways and didn't expect a decrease in premiums. So when we got the renewal to our shock, they increased premiums by 46 percent. I called the customer service to find out why the increase, since no accidents, violations and been with them for years. The representative was rude and gave a lame excuse about them raising rates due to the number of claims they received from everyone this past year. The representative also tried to state will not find new insurance or one that will take monthly payments right now. Hung up and called my broker. Advised broker they needed to find new coverage. The broker stated the same items the representative advised over the phone. I outright ask her if she gets a higher commission from Intact and how much of the brokerage firm that is under does Intact own. She tried to talk around it. I stated that much. I knew from past experience if a broker makes more from a company they will only push that companies product. I advised her to watch me. In twenty-five minutes new broker, new insurances cheaper rates than have been paying this previous year, monthly payments and more coverage. Stop using Intact and their brokers, especially when the firm is owned at a 50 percent share by Intact. It is about their bottom line. Not about their customers.
