Expensive insurance, when called to cancel the insurance because I've found a cheaper one they presented issues.
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.

I am with a different insurance company and someone with Intact Insurance hit my parked not moved for the whole day truck! And guess what - my fuel tank is whistling my transmission is squealing and leaking fluids like crazy. All they are covering is my dents nothing more! The car that hit me was totalled off and they say it is only the dents that matter complete scam company I suggest. Everyone who has this company cancel cause I promise you if you get in an accident and you with them that they will only cover your dents that it!
My husband was parked in a parking lot with our brand new car and opened the door. Literally "touched," BARELY the car parked next to ours. The woman in that car went to the police and falsely claimed hit and run, that we had done $2000 damage etc. The police investigated and said that her claim was basically opportunistic fraud. Of course, because police were involved, the woman got our insurance information. We objected and explained what happened, submitted photos of our car, did a line -up, offered to pay for the police report, made statements, said that we would take the woman to court for a false claim. Intact informed us that the woman had supposedly had the work done already, determined that we were responsible and placed the claim against our insurance policy.
Dispatchers came to my house... didn’t tow my car. After the second dispatcher came he took pictures of my car and just left without towing my car. Your whole business is towing cars but apparently, something else is wrong but had to find out from the person in the office who has no clue on what’s happening from the customer. I had to get a third party tow truck to tow my car which cost me $100! The experience drove me crazy... Your customer service is impeccable... Thanks a lot!
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 I go to pay my Intact insurance bill online. They ask me for a 13 digit number for my policy. The number on my invoice is 9 digits long!? Are they economizing on ink? Somebody please, fix this idiotic bug ASAP!
From the very start, there was controversy. The broker said one thing then Intact bills said another. When I realize that things weren’t going to be as said which I had expected to work in my favor I was already trapped. I was quoted almost $440 per month for “new drivers” insurance by brokers but was billed almost five hundred by Intact which attracted overdraft fees, so when I reached out about it, I weren’t satisfied with their explanation so I wanted out but I was told that I would have to pay almost $2000 to get out of the car insurance policy. I was furious! This was way too much for me to pay so I was stuck! There was a time when I paid early only to be penalized for it! According to them, that’s not allowed, the policy can only be paid on the due date, and boy everything got chaotic for me ever since! It’s now eight months into this and so I tried recently again to come out of the contract only to be told that I would still have to pay $2000 to get out of the policy. During the coronavirus crisis whenever I asked to have the payment due dates pushed back, the policy went up by a whopping $600-800 dollars. I would never recommend this car insurance company to anyone the financial pressure you’re placed under is unbearable especially if you are not well off financially!
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.
Avoid this company...They use brokers who give a quote that is more than what is online. Charged me 1000 to cancel a policy after 7 days!

This company is a joke. The MyDrive discounts is a scam. They say 20% discount and they only give 1 fourth of it because they calculate it as they wish. !0 years of clean record, zero accidents, zero speed tickets etc and my insurance keeps going up. My car's value is 8k and I am paying half the value of the car annually for this terrible company. I tried to get rid of all comprehensive etc and it only makes 40$ difference which means they are dedicated to screw people. I got many quotes with less than 170$ and I don't have to pay double that for this scam company. Can't wait for august.
