Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Agents talk like they are working for the other party's insurance company. Very difficult to get ahold of and do not return phone calls. I changed my address when we moved with them (have email proof if it) and they were still sending communication four months later to the old address. The younger agents are nice on the phone but some of those older ladies need to go.

Mass confusion, no replies, slow response to calls or email. They have lots of little special ' clauses' when you file a claim. Too many people involved in a claim. Going on fourth week now and still not settled.

I can care less about Canada, but this insurance company takes care of claims which happen in USA as well. This company is fraud! I do not understand how they are still allowed to operate in USA with so many regulations in place. I had a 100% their customer in fault claim with them. This is the 8th month that I still have got my money. I had some examination X-rays and test that now my health insurance refuse to pay. Intact promised to pay my medical bills, but after 8 months, with a minimal communication (every 10 emails and call, I get one respond), I am still waiting to get reimbursed! Isn't this amazing? I got the check few days ago and when I deposited it, it didn't get cleared in the bank!
Stay away, at any cost. If you happen to deal with them, by you having a claim with them, contact a lawyer or file a court claim because you are NOT getting anything from them!!!

Extremely poor claim experience. It has been 1 month that I have been without a vehicle or the settlement agreed upon. Managers do not return your calls or messages which adds to the frustration. The replacement vehicle that I found may well not be available much longer because of the delays. The fact that I am disabled and have a daughter with a small child requiring transportation does not matter to this company. I strongly suggest that you consider another company for your insurance needs.

My experiences with a claim are the same as many others here. My claim was delayed by the adjuster for weeks and months at a time. I struggled to receive a call back or an email from the adjuster. Their settlement is much less than it should be. Avoid Intact insurance at all costs.

I had a very bad experience with Intact insurance. I bought the insurance and my premium was 253/mth. After a year, I did not receive any documentation. I checked my bank account and Intact had debited my account for an amount of 350. I called the broker who then said they renewed the insurance automatically and my premium had gone up by almost 50%. That was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I had no driving issues throughout the year, no tickets, the police had never pulled me over but my premium has increased.FLEE FROM INTACT INSURANCE!!!

Awful experience!!! Truck stolen on may 5, it was found on the 8th and the claim was just finally settled at much lower amount then it ever should have been. I cant even describe how disappointed and frustrated I am. I found I was having to constantly call to find out what was happening with the claim, not once did they call me it was me having to call and then I would receive a call back. Don't even waste your time and money with this company.

Having been a loyal customer for years, with zero claims and zero traffic tickets, I had a 9 star rating. Three years ago I ran into some health issues, and have been unable to work. During the first year being unemployed, I had money/banking issues, and a pre-authorized payment to Intact bounced. This was TOTALLY MY FAULT, but I got it rectified in 2 days, and I payed the two NSF charges. This past March, I again had a payment go NSF, and again, MY FAULT. It was rectified the next day, with two more NSF charges. My policy is up June 10, and I called to say I'd arranged finances so I could pay the entire year's total up front, and would do so from here on out. Intact informed me they were nonetheless raising my rates by 30%! Talk about kicking someone when they're down! I have used Intact for the last 25 years without issue, yet they felt the need to punish me due to two human errors. Stay away from these jerks. They don't know the meaning of "loyalty".

Was with Intact MDD my driving discount. If you are not aware (and they do not disclose that, ever) that every hard braking event HBE in the beginning of the program will bring down your potential discount with 1%, every HBE. They DO NOT WANT to answer how the device actually works!!! Quote from FSCO "Specific details on the algorithms used by the insurer would be considered confidential/proprietary information. These mathematical algorithms are quite complex and are not available to the public." Meaning we are stupid and it is a secret!!! I drove 8000 km, over 200 days, with 10 HBE (average 0.125 per 100 km) and the discount reached 23%, out of 25%. In addition, only 1 acceleration, 0 driving at high-risk times. How the algorithm works: The less km driven, even 1 HBE will reduce %. The higher km driven is harder to bring % up to the max and after a certain point, you can not. I am the example. Rules for whoever wants to achieve the maximum! In the beginning (consider at least 100 km, but I would target 500 km driven) you have to drive as a retard!!! Depending on speed, at least 4 cars length distance from the car in front of you!!! Watch for "might cut you off" and decrease speed, leave space for them! Red light approaching, be ready to stop, not go through!!! Adjust speed to do so, at any time!!! Actually, this was the best habit I can take away from the program, changing the prospective... And remember, the more km you drive WITHOUT ANY HBE, the more you could afford to do 'till the end of the program!!! Next, 14kmh per second decrease of speed is = if you drive with 70kmh is 5 seconds. Shorter than that will trigger HBE. Imagine you have on the dashboard a full cup of coffee without a lid, try not to spill it!!! Just FYI 14kmhs equals 3.8889 meters per second. Be gentle on the brake pedal! Most automatic cars will help stopping the car additionally with up gear of the engine as well, meaning you have to release the foot pressure you are applying towards the full stop of the car. Practice before you plug the device! No one is ready to drive like an idiot by default!!! And remember, the HBE is the most detrimental to the % kept!!! Neither accelerations nor hours have such an effect!! And just a question as food for thought... For premium purposes, your postal code is the base for the insurance company to evaluate the RISK (based on the data of claims in your area) BUT for the device, EVERYONЕ is equal, meaning, the algorithm of all devices are the same. That means, that if you pay higher premium because you are in HIGH-RISK area/postal code, your chances of getting/keeping higher discount IS LESS because you drive in HIGHER RISK area/postal code. Complaining to FSCO (which I did) will not help you because they approve of WHAT insurance companies suggest as a program and parameters, BUT NOT HOW it actually works!!! So, the potential of gaining/receiving a higher discount on your rate is there, but you have to educate and prepare yourself for it if you decide to "voluntarily participate" in those programs!! Good luck!!!

Recently I am off work for medical reasons, I was trying to get my payments moved to the first as my long term insurance only paid once a month and I wanted to try have everything to come out on the first. It was such a hassle to move my withdrawal date as I had to give them a double payment. So I would have had to pay on 21st and the 1st. Everything got mixed up and they eventually said they were cancelling my policy. If that wasn't bad enough, they sent a letter to where I was financing my car that I had no insurance and well as the ministry of transportation. It ended up costing me over $600 to get my car back because of the tow charges and office cost. Etc. As for the ministry of transportation I will have to deal with that when I buy my sticker. Now I received a letter from intact saying I owe $409.06. Really not paying that!!!!
Also they were charging $343 month and now with the new company I am paying $277 so shop around there is cheaper insurance out there. You will also have more experience workers working for you.
