Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

My rates kept rising every year, with no claims. After 5 years of getting ripped off, I decided to switch to another insurance company. I had both, auto and home policies. Save your money, do the same !

Car was deemed a complete loss for an accident that was not my fault...Paid me a fraction of what the vehicle was actually worth. Adjusters extremely rude...Did not return calls and had the nerve to give me attitude when I followed up on my claim...Stressful experience no body should have to experience.

I got backed into by someone who has insurance with intact. I wasn't even in my car and I was on the far side of a parking lot. There were absolutely NO other vehicles around or near me this guy was just obviously not paying attention. So this little accident caused some serious damage to my car. The air conditioning is wrecked my transmission oil cooler is wrecked as well as my power stealing cooler and that's only the damage that is visible!!!! I am a single mom with two kids. My youngest being six months old and my oldest turning two in November. So! I got an approval yesterday to have a rental vehicle until my car is fixed as the shop they deal with cannot get my car in until the 18'th. so I get a sitter take my car to the body shop (I had to sit there for an hour while they talked to an insurance adjuster) then I ended up having to drive down to the rental place and pick up my rental. I left my damaged car there cuz I didn't have anyone to drive it back to the body shop with me. So today I get a call from intact saying I have until the end of the day to RETURN the rental cuz they will only cover the rental while my car is in the shop. Just becuase it is not SAFE for me to drive my car in plus thirty two weather with two babies doesn't mean my car isn't driveable. They told me to roll down my window. My issue is why do I have to be inconvenienced by this when I wasn't even near my car when this guy backed into me??? On top of that if my transmission over heats from driving it while the cooler is damaged they won't cover the cost to repair any further damage then what the quote said. The thing that hers me is I was approved yesterday for a rental until my car was fixed by a lady the body shop was dealing with then the adjuster on my file called me today and said he was cancelling my approval??? Pardon my language but WTF?????

I have had the misfortune of dealing with Intact. First problem was a misquote from my broker. I paid over $600 up front for what I thought was a year of coverage. Intact raised the rate by $300?? I spoke to my broker May 9th who told me to wait until mid-June when I was to send balance.
I work out of town and out of country. No one from my broker or Intact contacted me to say Intact wanted payment on May 9th. Intact without contacting me, cancelled my policy and, I am told, included a CHEQUE for $260?! I have been driving for 3 weeks with no insurance. My life could have been destroyed by these people. They won't put policy back in force because of "NON-PAYMENT"!! Non-payment and you send me a cheque?
Don't trust these people.
I buy insurance thinking, they've got my back. God help anyone who is as naive as I was.

As an 19yr old female under my parents name, i was paying a whoping 272 a month. For the lowest everything.... so pretty much just having it to be legal. After months, i just got to thinking how rediculous that amount really is. I even completed my G and notified them, and they didnt drop my rate even though i was then a better qualified driver. I called and asked why itdidnt drop in price. Customerservice couldnt give me a straight answer, or one that made sense at that. After three times of her trying to justify why it didnt drop in price i said enough. Hung up. Started searching around. I saw no potential in ever paying less in price from intact insurance. Plus, customer service ... was rude. Needless to say, i switched. I now pay 188. Thats right 84 dollars cheaper a month. Enough said. A 50min phone call to another insurer (girl who set me up was polite and didn’t act like you waste her time) …made me feel like I won the lottery. Switch today.

Every partial payment notice comes with a different due date. In one, they tell me my next payment will be January 24th...then send a 'reminder' notice that my upcoming payment is due January 2nd. Awful customer service... terrible options to change anything. They are not looking out for the customer... but only for their own bottom line. Do yourself a favor and shop around for cheaper rates...because I GUARANTEE you INTACT INSURANCE will slowly creep their rates up without any notice or explanation.

They are pretty quick to let you know if you are a day late with a payment... and NEVER will send you a Thank You if you make a payment early. Give your money to a company that will care about you and your situation. I hear the Co-Operators is very customer service oriented. Actually, ANY other company would be a better choice. I am done with this insurance company when my plan ends... they will also lose any business from my children who will be driving in the next two years. I would give you a zero star rating if I could. Good riddance INTACT!

July 7 2013, in my 1966 Mustang, sitting at a red light I got rear ended really hard by somybody in his Mercedes SUV who didn't even brake at all. His licence didn't even match his insurance and out of fear that he didn't update his licence from BC to Alberta for over a year, he offered to give me cash, which I refused. I got injured needles to say, and I made a report to my own insurance company (TD Meloche Monnex) the same day. I waited month and they were completely absent, didn't return my calls, and people were taking vacations left and right. They sent an Adjuster who was shocked it was a 1966 and told me he had never done an old car and thought he was doing a quote on a recent model Mustang. Needles to say a total nightmare. They were rude, telling me to find my own shop, when I speficied I wanted to go to there preferred shops. I spoke with the manager, and he spoke to me like I was a kid, telling me to take the money and run. This car is my investement, and I already had $25,000 invested just in mechanical parts alone, and it's not a point A to B car. I had enough with TD Meloche Monnex

A month after of hell, I contacted the at fault driver's insurance INTACT around the first week of August (my car still sitting where it was parked after the accident). I dealt with a claims adjuster. At first was pro-active in corresponding. They eventually sent an adjuster from RML in Edmonton. The car was not allowed to go to a shop until the appraisal was finished. Finally by September it was allowed to go to a shop. There was obvious damage that for whatever reason, RML and INTACT fought myself and the shop, who pointed out the very badly warped trunk. Then, the ruptured fuel tank etc etc. Another nightmare. Then they fought about the car seat that was broken from impact.

Needles to say, today is November 6 2013, and my 1966 Mustang sits impounded by the body shop until a full balance of $490 is paid. My Mustang is covered in snow, the driver seat held up by wooden block to keep it up since INTACT refuses to repair it.

I spoke to INTACT western division manager, and this man was very rude, condescending. Went as far as telling me my car is not a Classic car and just an old car, then asked me what year it was, and even said he hasn't seen my car. Basically, avoided addressing the issue and took a personal issue with me.

I contacted INTACT's Ontario division, maybe there they will be more civil. They were, and was told they will address this.

A week later, the manager calls me, with a better attitude. He says he wants to resolve this matter. After a more civil conversation, he says he will address my property loss issue only if I deal with my bodily injury first together. I told him I have a lawyer regarding my injury, and I was injured and still to this day receiving treatment and still suffering from the injury. He said all or nothing. Basically, he wants me to sign a release form removing any liability and responsibility INTACT has for paying my medical bills, just so INTACT can repair my broken seat.

The audacity of INTACT and this manager is not short of a slap to the face adding insult to injury. INTACT has not provided a rental vehicle throughout this whole time. I don't have a credit card, not do I ever want one. So, since I had a second vehicle, I added that on my insurance to be on the road. My insurance cost went from $94/mth to $240/mth. They wouldn't even compensate me for my additional cost, yet they saved $36/day on car rental. Then I had to absorb $490 repair bill that would have never happened if it wasn't for the car accident, or RML did a proper appraisal.

Whatever money I had saved, earned, and was earning, is now going to pay this $490 bill. I've been in school since September of 2012 and was working whatever job I could find before returning to school again to finish of my degree in Petroleum Engineering.

INTACT insurance company for sure prays on people with financial disposition. INTACT is truly one of the worst insurance companies to deal with, and one of the worst business to deal with as well.

Still my 1966 Mustang rear ended on July 7 2013 sits impounded by the shop collecting inches of snow, with the driver seat being proped up by a wooden block. Snow and ice on the ground, gravel all over, and the year is nearing end.

I've been with TD for many years, and they are usually a good insurance company. But INTACT is like dealing with crooked thieves. INTACT is the image of what a bad insurance company is. It's horrible from the claims department right up to management. You think you'll deal with someone who is reasonable when the claims rep handling your file ignores your call for literally months, only to find out that the management and company structure that teaches them ow to deal with clients, is actually an even bigger problem.

I was a victim of there driver, yet, they think being rude and demeaning you will make you easier to be man-handled by them.

So a warning, avoid INTACT Auto Insurance, if not have a lawyer deal with them. INTACT Auto insurance is a horrible company to deal with.

My mother had minor bumper incident (NO damage/scratches was done to her bumper but other party had HUGE bumper damage from another accident). Since this was a parking lot incident the other party was not a witness to the accident (only three witness including myself in my mothers vehicle) and yet the Intact Insurance took only the statement and photos of ONLY the other vehicle. NO statement NO photos of my moms vehicle was taken and since this claim was above $3000 No police report was taken either but Intact Insurance processed the claim anyway.

I am glad I'm with another insurance company!!!

Drove for 2 years with no tickets, no claims. Had a minor at fault fender scratcher and expected my rates to go up a reasonable amount. I sent in all the requested documents and photos and asked that the agent respond as soon as she had more info regarding the claim. 60 days and 5 emails later, I still have no detailed claim against me and no estimate for the increase to my policy, nothing. Of the 5 emails I have only received 1 response, which only told me it was "to early" (this was 41 days) to tell me anything. However, 60 days later (still with no more information or replies), I have received my renewal papers detailing a 56% increase in premium. This is unacceptably bad customer service. They don't have enough information to tell me anything about the claim, yet they have enough to justify a 56% increase in premium? I would not recommend this company to anyone. Pay the extra to get a company that will respond intelligently within 2 months.

I was with Jevco for many years. Premium was consistent ($800-$850 yearly). No claims, no violations, completely clean driving record. For 2013, Intact raised my insurance 50% for no reason except I am helping them pay for the Jevco acquisition.
