Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I needed to add a family member as a driver to one of the cars. On day 4, I gave up after talking to both the broker and with Intact. The Intact rep could not find any trace in their system regarding my request and pointed to the insurance broker. Hey, Intact, if I need a change in my policy, and I need it now, don't deliver a week later. And empower your service reps to solve situations and help people on the phone. Give them access to the right systems so customers don't have to hear excuses.

We had our truck stolen from us in the middle of the day while we were home. It was reported to the police and insurance company within minutes of us watching it drive away. It was nothing but a gong show from that day. We (not the police) found the truck 6 hours later. Physically it was ok but mechanically was destroyed. Blown head gasket, leaking rear diff, etc. They said about 7 business days before they figure out what they will do with the truck. Fair enough. It's been a month and they are silent. We have called several times and keep getting the same story that they cannot tell us anything until their investigation is complete. Umm, hello, we live rurally, public transit is not an option for us and we need this vehicle or a payout to go get another one. They are completely incompetent and useless. They don't care. Find another insurance company and avoid these guys.

First off, I had told Intact that I did not want to renew my auto insurance with them and would be finding another insurance company. However, after having my car parked for two months and tried to apply for a new policy and was told I had an outstanding balance of almost $1000 and would have to pay before I could get any auto insurance. Second, when I finally decided to fork out the money, I told the agent I would phone her back in 2 minutes with my credit card info and that I needed the insurance for that day. However, when I phoned back within a minute, the agent had gone on lunch break and I had to talk to three other agents, one of which told me I had to wait for at least an hour and that "I'm sorry that we go on lunch breaks". When I asked to speak to a customer service representative, I was told they weren't in that day conveniently.

No use in wasting my time describing it. They Suck. You'll waste your hard earned money to get nothing in return.

I was rear-ended over a month ago. 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback sport 6spd. It took 2 weeks for their preferred shop to get a quote. Quote was only $1500. Not that much. After 3.5 weeks, I was told I could go get my car and it was all done. When I went to pick it up, from 20 feet away, I could tell the back bumper was out of alignment. The skirt kit was out of alignment, and there were red and white paint scuffs on the newly painted bumper. Terrible work. This is their preferred shop. No Attention to detail. No accountability. BE WARNED. It took over a week with me calling INTACT and trying to get a manager to help handle this claim. I was told by several of their employees I need a managers approval to change shops and get the repairs done properly as CARSTAR seemed to struggle and tried to give back my car that wasn't 100%. Almost every day I called and got the same runaround and that manager would call me right back. Took 8 Days (business days) to finally get a hold of her, and it was me that called her and waited on hold for her to be available. I waited on hold for over 30 mins and was told she was at a meeting and then conveniently she got out of the meeting when I asked for her manager. So 8 business days and over 8 calls just to get a callback and it was me that had to do all the work. The excuse was she was busy. Who isn't? I can't imagine not calling back one of my paying customers in over 8 days. They wouldn't be a customer for long. Terrible service. No FOLLOW UP. NO ACCOUNTABILITY. But they happily take my money every month. DO BETTER, INTACT! This has been a terrible experience for my claim. This is how you lose customers

This app sounds appealing as a record of event-free driving could result in a discount on premiums. Instead, the app is unreliable recording events that didn’t happen. The tendency is to drive to the app rather than to actual road conditions. It’s frankly a dangerous app when the incentive is a discount for not breaking rapidly when conditions warrant it or not, accelerating to avoid a situation as either of those responses results in a reduction in possible discount. To prevent being penalized for responding to traffic conditions, the user simply says they are a passenger. Yet optimal driving conditions still register phantom hard breaks or accelerations. Intact has made a poor choice in predicting a discount on an unreliable app.

I was in a car accident, not my fault a truck hit me from behind, ripped my rotary cuff, I also suffered whiplash, Intact fools around not getting me the proper care. I am in minor injury unable to lift, unable to do laundry, comb my hair, put a bra on, I suffer severe migraines and also vertigo. My doctor and physiotherapist can't believe I am still under minor, where it should have been non-catastrophic. 5 months later my car isn't fixed, I just bought the car 5 months prior and it has electrical problems and unsafe to drive, what a nightmare. I had to hire a lawyer, I am on a fixed income, I am now insulated in the house and can't go anywhere. Pay More money to your insurers, it's better in the long run!! INTACT maybe cheap but they don't look after you, they lowball you, they are hoping you quit and give up !!! Cheap is not always the best way to go !!!

A yellow cabbie drove unsafe, cut me off and pressed the brakes, I rear-ended him barely you could see 2 scratches on his car. So I called Intact insurance and explained to them. They said not to worry at all, they will take care of the claim. 3 months later Yellow Cab sent me a letter that the damage on their car is 1200$. So I called the insurance again and they said not to worry at all. Intact refused to accept the picture of a tiny crack line on my bumper. There was no way for 1200$ damage or body injuries... Thank you for throwing me under the bus, I really trusted your insurance to be there when I needed. It took you guys 8 months and voila.

It shouldn't take an insurance company 5+ months to fix a vehicle they say is fixable. If it takes this long to fix a vehicle, the vehicle should be replaced. Waste of money and time. To think I pay over 5k a year to this company and they can't even get anything done in a timely manner. Ps. They send the vehicles to Carstar... Do not let your vehicle go there.

They raised my rates in one year with no valid reason. I have no tickets or claims in the last 20 years. Here was their response when I asked why. Insurance cost has been increasing due to the fact that Private Passenger Vehicle claims continue to rise significantly across Canada. This trend has been driven in part by higher repair costs due to various factors including the complexity of modern vehicles, increases in bodily injury settlements and more frequent losses as a result of distracted driving. Never mind they made 12 percent profit on a billion dollars last year.
