Think the title of this says it all. The service is disgraceful, every employee I have dealt with is utterly incompetent. Worst customer service representatives.
My vehicle was damaged while parked. I had to continually follow up with the agent assigned for over 3 weeks. No repairs had been started, or approvals provided to the body shop. Had left over 10 messages for status, and the agent never called me back or apologized for any delay. What does one get for paying their fees... The worst insurance company I've dealt with! I will be pulling my business!
What does Intact do? This is my 2nd claims experience in 2 years. The first was when someone turned left in front of him writing off both cars and leaving my son with surgery to fix 3 broken bones. Intact (despite saying he had $30K of medical support) would only approve physio by a therapist who charges 99 dollars per hour or less - they would not honour the same total dollar value. Useless. We ended up footing ALL bills ourselves.
I had a garbage truck strike my car while parked. So far (9 days later)... Despite reporting using their app to submit claims and photos and me calling - still no emails. No, follow up. no rental car. No appraisal -NOTHING.
This is - BY FAR - the worst insurance company I have EVER interacted with...
We were really liking this insurer despite the higher rates however, over the past few years our coverage costs have increased to the point that it seems no longer worth staying with Intact when other companies offer much better rates. We'd hope that Intact would have a better loyalty program to keep us with them but that doesn't seem to be the case.
No knowledge and trying to put all expenses on the customer. They have recommended body shops which will agree with their statements.
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.
Today is July 3rd, 2022. I have a vehicle claim that started back in January 2022 and has been nothing but a headache since. a claims advisor has not once contacted us even though Intact has told me on several occasions that she would. I have reached out many times to her by email and phone messages and have still heard nothing. Our rental car needed to be extended due to the delay from Intact in getting our vehicle repaired. 3 months later we find out the rental car hadn't been fully paid for by Intact and was therefore put on MY CREDIT CARD. Over, the now 5 months since my initial claim I have called Intact directly many many times. Each time being reassured it was being taken care of and that someone would contact me in a couple of days. Yet I still have not heard from anyone and the bill has not been taken care of. I have asked each time I've called, to speak to a supervisor but each time they refuse to put me through to a supervisor due to "proper protocols" needing to be followed.
This kind of service is despicable, especially with the amount we pay for insurance. They owe me over $900.00 from an unpaid rental car bill. What do we pay a deductible for if we are the ones doing all the leg work... for 5 months?!
My son bought a SUV and insured it with Intact. Five months later a tree fell on his car. It took 5 days for him to receive a response from Intact.This is a recurring theme, Intact often waits 5 days before responding to his emails, and he has never been able to get a human on the phone. The mechanic told him it would be repaired so he left some personal items that he didn't need right away in the vehicle. A month later, Intact confirmed it would be repaired. They then had the car transferred to another chain of the mechanic an hour away to be repaired because the local mechanic was backlogged. This new mechanic found another $500 damage, so now Intact won't be fixing it. They're going to write it off. Now my son, who hasn't had a vehicle for 6 weeks, (and hasn't been looking for one because he was supposed to be fixed), is supposed to find a ride an hour away to get his stuff out of the car. They also only offered him what he owes on the car, not what it will cost to replace it, which would leave him without a down payment for a new car. Why say you'll fix it, haul it an hour away, then change your mind for $500 extra? And why wouldn't you pay him the market value? Now he has to search online for identical vehicles to show them what the car is actually worth to replace! It's been 6 weeks! Either fix it or give him what it's worth!
My other son and I were both considering switching our policies, but that isn't happening now! I'd rather pay an extra $10 a month and have an insurance company that cares!
What a ridiculous process.
Started the claim online, it is supposed it is going to be easy. I explained everything and fill all the information. Also added pictures and a video because was a hit-and-run. Then someone called me back and asked exactly the same questions. Was a hit-and-run on my driveway at 12:50 am I was sleeping but my camera recorded the incident. The question was if I saw the driver and I did contact him. They never review or saw the video or the pictures. The person on the phone said they don't have access to the attachments in the claim.
I have had THE WORST EXPERIENCE dealing with Intact. I was not at fault, but they would not take my side until I kept pressing. Finally, I was told after HOURS AND HOURS AND MONTHS not budging for them to accept not at fault. They told me not to worry and that everything would be covered. I did not pay for any damages, renewed my insurance, and went for treatment for my injuries. THEN I find out from the OTHER driver's insurance company that they accepted 50/50 on my behalf of me. WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE! They did this sneakily months after my policy was renewed so I would not see the changes. This DIRECTLY affects my ability to get money for injuries and financially for any future policies and injuries. They LIED and OBFUSCATED what was happening - ZERO transparency. VERY, VERY DISTURBING!
