Device Program not good

by bhupinder7 on Nov 25, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I signed for the auto insurance policy with my broker, he seems a nice guy. He told me that you can install a device in your car for six month and you will receive some discount in your monthly premium. So, i enrolled in the program. After six months over, I called my broker that my six months are over, should I remove the device from my car ? He said, just wait for an email from Intact insurance about the instruction to return the device. I waited for two-three weeks, still not receive an email. Then, I called the company directly, they told me to wait for another 3 months which I find not very trustworthy company to their consumers. As they tell something different when you buy the policy and but their broker don't tell what would exactly happen after six month. When I called the company, they said their broker should have this information to tell clients to complete the program for 9 months instead of six months incase (not sure when this happen). Just making people fool. I would never recommend somebody to get insurance from this company. I'm just waiting to complete my policy to move another company.

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.

Charged for nothing

Living in Newfoundland Canada we now have taxed insurance. Intact Insurance was charging close to $3000 for full coverage for the year so I found a better deal at one of their competitors. I spoke with them on the phone letting them know I was cancelling and was told that I would have to sign something in order to cancel to which I replied "Okay, I'll make my way down there when I can." Nothing else was said. I have now received a "legal notice" in the mail saying I owe them $279 for non payment up until October 4th. They're charging me, and letting me know they're cancelling my policy, for not paying on a policy I've already told them I was cancelling.

Stay away from this company, unless you intend to never leave them, otherwise they'll find a way to charge every single penny they can.

cancellation

I requested my broker to cancel my policy with Intact and he ignored me plus ignored 2 follow up questions on the request to cancel. He sat back and did nothing so the policy renewed and I was charged $126 when the broker finally cancelled after the dead line. I sent Intact e-mail proof that I requested the cancellation of my policy well in advance of the renewal date. Once again I was ignored and Intact withdrew the money from my bank account. This fee of $126 should have been charged to the broker. Beware seniors and young people, Intact will rip you off because they think we are too stupid or too old which makes us easy targets.

The worst

by MENKARE on Sep 8, 2016

Once you get your high quote, you get no service ! Just asking for more money, when you renew without any plausible reason. Oh and I forgot that fake regarding saving money with My Discount Program which actually ends up increasing the payment despite being a safe and a good driver .
Such a bunch of robbers!
I have no idea why Ontario still depend on private insurance !!!!

DO NOT USE THEM!

by PissedAtIntactInYYC on Sep 2, 2016

Our Son (17 at the time) had a collision with a person who turned left in front of him. So in most if not all provinces in Canada, that person who turns left is an automatic at fault, especially so when our son's light was proven to be green!
The short of it, we had to fight a ticket by a CPS officer who profiled our son (he had a loud SRT-4), and just had that withdrawn in Alberta court.

Now Intact wants the courts documents for proof (makes sense to me) ,but they want to assign 50/50 blame vs the person who turned left in front him being 100% at fault!

They don't listen, nor do they return calls emails go unanswered and unless you get very verbal and nasty with them (As I have now been doing) they will only respond to that type of action. Really quite sad how they seem to work outside of what the law says is or isn't.

Intact also increased our sons insurance 52% due to this accident EVEN with the charge being withdrawn, even with the evidence that proves beyond any doubt that our son was in the right, and they say it's charged but not convicted! The rate will drop only by 25% when they receive the documents from the courts.

Now many insurance companies allow your annual premium to be split up over the 12-month period, as does Intact, but they charge our son $110.00 annually for late payments that they agree to! They also charge him $20.00 each time they send out documents that were NEVER requested, all these smaller non-disclosed fees, added up equal other higher rate companies so do your homework, as these a**holes are about adding fees upon fee.

So my advice, they offer cheap rates, but don't go with them, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE delivery, business model brokers are never in the office (yes, this is not intacts problem but it's a sign)

Lesson learned, we are switching over to a new company, even paying marginally higher rates (10% higher than what we started to pay with Intact in the beginning).

Do Not Sign Up!

by The Worst! on Aug 27, 2016

I enrolled into the 6 month discount program. I was told by my broker that the device would be installed for 6 months then had to be removed and sent back. When six months arrived i searched my email for the request to send it back. When i found nothing i called and asked my broker what was up. They said to call intact themselves because they only had that info. I called them and they couldn't tell me anything and said to call my broker. I called my broker back and they informed me that it could take up to 270 days to complete the program. I laughed and said okay i'll complete it. I logged in to the online account and searched through to see what deductions were being taken off of the 25% potential discount and realized that the company has a very unfair and rigged weight system to ensure drivers do not meet the 25% e.g. if I started with 25% and got a hard brake one week they would deduct me to 24%.. then the next week if i did nothing wrong the following week would still be 24%.. What a joke.. I will never sign up for one of these scams again.. They are honestly just collecting data for themselves. And to be honest i believe having the device is making the roads more dangerous because you are constantly worried about maximizing your discount.

no help after the contract

they have a worst customer service, i am lucky i never had a claim experience but still that was a worst experience in my life with customer care and service.
thats the story:
i called them to ask some question about the mistake that they did in my credit card number but they not only blamed everything on me but also they were in denial about the fact that they told me they already confirmed the number with me which is so frustrating. even my agent told me she made the mistake to say that she had a same number as i read for her and she is just sorry but still i have to pay.....
i am a super responsible guy for all my payment and i have a black credit card with a good credit score but now for that not only i have to pay almost 80$ fine for NSF but more than that i am so worry about my credit records, the company and the agents are not responsible and not even patient for customers problem

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.

The Worst Claim Experience.

by Hax on Aug 20, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I live in Toronto, I was rear ended by a vehicle that registered in Alberta.
I was clearly not at fault. My adjuster told me to contact the other insurance company in Alberta to deal with it, Because I don't have the full collision coverage. The adjuster even sent me an e-mail that the Claim is now closed. Then I called the other insurance company to assist me. but they told me, they have nothing to do with me. Then I hired a legal rep to call my insurance company (INTACT) to get through the claim. but they didn't cover what I have lost. My claim was only $1,043.00 for vehicle repair and a cellphone to replace. they are telling me to buy something on kijiji, ebay or amazon. They don't want to get me a replacement.
