Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

The rate I was paying from 2017-2018 was $270 as I was a new driver with my G2 license. From 2018-2019 they decreased my rate to $239 a month, as I got my G license and proved to be a good driver! I received my renewal package at the beginning of January 2019 for the 2019-2020 year, and my rate went up to $290 a month. I was confused as to why there was a $50 increase monthly as I have not changed my address, I’ve never been in an accident and have never received any kind of ticket. I called Intact to see if they could explain to me why there was an increase and I was hung up on and when I finally was able to talk to someone, I was told that everyone’s rate was increasing, but by $50 dollars a month, which I found to be quite ridiculous. After this, I found a new auto insurance and cancelled my insurance with Intact. While cancelling my insurance I asked the broker “will I be charged for the month of February?” His response was “No, your last effective coverage date by Intact is January 31”. Tuesday, February 5, I saw Intact charged my account $290!! Straight away I tried calling, as I was explaining the issue to a broker, I was hung up on again! I decided to call my bank and put a stop payment so that Intact isn’t able to take any more money out of my account and I was refunded my $290 from the bank! Intact is a disgrace of an insurance company, they rob people and when you try and talk to someone, you get the runaround or hung up on! Do NOT give these thieves your money, there are way better companies out there with way better rates AND customer service.

20 years with no claims with Intact and my insurance is $70 higher than all other insurance companies I have been quoted by recently. You would think that with a loyal customer for 20 years, a clean driving record, the rates would be lowered. Not a chance. So I ask how to get reduced. I have the My driving discount device installed for the past 7 weeks. I drive very well and they dock you if you accelerate at 12km per hour, or break at 13km per hour. Even worse, if you drive home and hit 12:02 am when you pull up from work. So the possible 25% that they say a driver would get, lie. So 7 weeks and I am down to 13% and they think I want to keep this in there. Every week the percent drops, even if it's at 12km per hour. Like seriously, HAS ANY OF THEM ACTUALLY DRIVEN WITH IT PROPERLY TO FIND THAT THE LOW SPEED CAN BECOME DANGEROUS??? I can't turn a corner without feeling like a 100-year-old driver, who should be off the road. I get usually 2 docks a week and they are minimal at 12 or 13km. Yet in 7 weeks. YES, 7 WEEKS, I am already down to 13%. This March you have lost a 20-year loyal customer. NO MORE WILL I DEAL WITH YOU. NO RENEWAL.

The worst company in Canada is INTACT INSURANCE!! I've told the insurance agent by phone to cancel renew insurance before due. I have now been charged the new rates even when I don't have Intact anymore. They are so DISGUSTING!!...

WOW... INTACT, you might want to look at these reviews. My experience with CDI was wonderful (probably because I made one windshield claim 8 yrs ago). When Belairdirect took over, the rates began to inflate & now you guys have become the most expensive private insurance company. Your loyalty to long term customers obviously doesn’t exist. This past year (2018) I received my policy on my vehicle & the increase of 10% WAS NOT a nice surprise, the fact that you took away my windshield coverage was totally unacceptable. In 15+ years of coverage, we have had 2 claims on windshields & that’s it. This is how this company rewards the GOOD DRIVERS. They are willing to give up two auto policies & a home insurance policy for a possible but not yet $900 windshield replacement. Fingers crossed ...no stone cracks yet.

Enrolled in my driving discount and it is a complete joke. I have no data on my phone as I cannot afford it and I was ensured that the device would be a reliable way to track my driving. I have now gone through 3 devices that have been 'dead'. Upon calling tech support I was finally told after 5 months of fighting with my device, my vehicle was incompatible. Seriously? This should not be an issue due to the variety of vehicles on the road. There are so many different vehicles of different makes, models etc. you should not have this issue with this sort of device. The tech support kept telling me "well, it is a voluntary program.." - well, duh. I enrolled for cheaper insurance! That is what your company promised me. That is why I switched insurance brokers in the first place! Not to mention with my other insurance company I was with Intact as well and they were charging me 200 something a month for my insurance. I went to my new company who put me through Intact. Intact charges me 194...173 with enrollment with my driving discount. Of course, I'm going to enroll, it's cheaper. So they hook you with that promise then screw you over.

Unbelievable service ….Our Father passed away the end of Dec 2018. This company won't let us cancel his car insurance...we have provided his death certificate and bill of sale showing his van has been sold...still not good enough for them...they want a copy of his will (which is none of their business) or a letter from a lawyer (yes, at our cost)...I guess I might have to bring his ashes and pour them on their desk ...or get the press involved ..Beware even if you're dead, they will still try to rip you off

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.

I just received my car insurance renewal from Intact. Increase of 40% over last year. No accidents or tickets over the past 25 years, no explanation for the increase which is unacceptable. I cannot believe they're still in business!
