Horrible Customer Service

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!
Glad to see I'm not crazy, I got a 20% discount on a 1500$ car insurance, which my courtier assured me was the cheapest I could get, as long as I was registered to the MyDrive app, been trying to get it to work since I got it but to no avail.
Now they are saying that since we haven't successfully logged a drive that they want us to pay them the 20% back, which is hilarious and terribly suspicious on their part.
The discount was conditional on being registered to the App, not logging a drive.
Incredible to see how far they take their scams and lies.
Filing a report to Consumer Protection asap, no way I'm letting them get away with more of my money.
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.
Very bad experience ever! I had rude customer service they give me a quote for the first month and the second month they change the price moreover $110 a month after all of this they charge me over $600 for cancelling fee. 100% scams company... Not very impressed with the customer service. In short, in one month because of them, it cost me $1500 “
I was hit but a person insured under intact and the adjustor worked in the BC office. The person lied multiple times to try to get 50/50 on the claim the adjustor went along with it and she was pushing for 50/50 and tried to get me to take it with multiple calls even from other agents. Finally, about a year later they accepted 100 %. I hope the adjustor trying to get a bonus and accepting lies she sleeps well at night and if it is Intact pushing for less payout or not accepting full responsibility well, they got 2 stars in Alberta so the service and wrongdoing speech for themselves
I had a car accident in February 2021 and until now my car still not fixed (I don't have a car to go to work). But they still took money every month for this car. It's a terrible company...
I had a recent accident where I was rear-ended, they gave me incorrect information and I spent more than a week trying to get my car removed from the place they told me to store it, they lied and said they did not tell me to store my car there. The adjuster gave me a hard time and asked a lot of personal questions that had nothing to do with the accident, I spoke to the Senior Manager and he was rude and obnoxious. I was left without a car for weeks and I could not get to work. I had a mental breakdown and they still had me pay my premiums even though they had not fixed my car. Anyone looking for car insurance please do not go with this company they are tyrants.
In trying to add a second vehicle to my policy I had to wait on hold for over twenty minutes then the person who answered put me on hold again until I hung up after another 15 minutes.
No local contact and obviously just a fortune 500 company with a massive call center. I'm done with you and going to a more local company!
Intact is a scammer.
Actually, they are speaking lies and postponing and rejecting everything and playing just with words.
My claim experience was awful.
Even if you had right, they will not give you money.
They are very rude. Just avoid them.
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.
Agent is not reliable, didn’t even bother to understand or analyze of what happened exactly at the time of the accident, nothing happened to my claim, no explanation from the Agent and the Company, bad experience.

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.
