Do not insure with this company - awful claim experience

Terrible at communicating with customers and handling my claim was a nightmare for us, from the adjuster to the fixing on my truck 3 months and still not finished repairs.
My car was totaled March 8th, and 2 months later, I'm still waiting for the payout to the finance company. To date, FOUR checks have been sent. Apparently they keep getting "lost in the mail", and in the meantime I can't get another vehicle until this loan is cleared.
Had a total write-off over 6 months ago and still haven't been paid. Completely incompetent. Have had to pay out of pocket for a replacement and still haven't seen any money. Avoid at all costs.
Two years ago, me and 3 or 4 resident on my street got their car vandalized. For myself, it was a little scratch and a hole the size of a hammer head. They originally planned to replace the panel with a hole for a new one and redo the painting where the scratch was... simple right? Nope... when the Assured Automotive first delivered the car, they gave it back to me in worse condition than it was before the incident. I did this little charade 4 times, bringing the car back for them to fix it, but every time the car came back with most of the problems unresolved. I've contacted Intact representative multiple time, they told me multiple times they were tracking, they even sent an assessor to make sure the job was done properly, but we are at the 2 years mark, and they still refuse to send my car somewhere here to be fixed. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COST!!!!!
My son was is a bad car accident as the passenger. This claim was in litigation for years. He was in constant pain and ended up committing suicide. I am his mother and this process was painful and unbearable. It dragged on and Intact legal finally offered just over $1,000. This is disgusting. We are forced to pay Insurance our entire lives but do not try to collect. These people are heartless and deceitful. My family and I will never use Intact again.
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.
intact is an outrageous company. It has been well over one month since we filed a claim and after speaking to 11 agents , still no response, let alone a settlement. Absolutely no service! Intact will take your money instantly, but don't expect a payment for month! will be looking for a new insurance company tomorrow. goodbye Johnsons, Belair direct, and Intact!
.. not to recommend. Why? I was paying to much money for insurance and after accident I was losing my nerve, my time, my vehicle, and on the end money.
They will not pay my truck was stolen and almost a year later and not a dollar they are investigating every day a new something they are looking for any reason not to pay then someone tbone me in my other truck they have taken my other truck will not give back to me and they have not payed me a dollar for the second truck
They are scammers they will go to the police and try to have you charged for anything to claim excuse not to pay becarefull this company is very awful this is after being a customer for 22 years.
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.
I had a very anxiety-inducing experience with this company:
First of all, they work with questionable, discriminatory and rude repair shops and they will protect them before you their clients. Their customer service will lie to you to protect each other. They will tell you they will call you back in 24 hours and it becomes 48 hours and all of a sudden it becomes a week, two weeks and you name it and all this time the one who works on your file will refuse to talk to you and the rest of the customer service just keep being a barrier not to reach him.
I complained to the broker who sold me this scam of insurance and all of a sudden they say they can not do anything about it.
After my accident, they kept calling me over and over and over to repeat the same story and keep reliving the experience... I'm now preparing for a long court battle with them... They are scammy... Please save your hard-earned money and pay for insurance that is worth anything. Because if you get in an accident it is gonna be a nightmare.

I had an accident, no fault of ours. Our vehicle was deemed a write-off, but notification was sent via email, not even a call. As we picked up our rental, we were told it would be noted that it could only be returned on a Friday (since the vehicle was being driven out of town). Well, they only gave us 48 hours from the Monday to return the vehicle. After multiple attempts to beg for an additional 2 days, they never responded. I also do not know where the vehicle should be returned. Had to call the rental agency myself to get the details. Nobody from Intact are returning my calls and email messages. They are not being considerate AT ALL for personal circumstances, when this accident is not even our fault. We have been clients for over 30 years, and they are treating us beyond poor. I cannot leave this company fast enough.
