Unreal horrible at dealing with issues!

by Hate your company! on Feb 12, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I was involved in an accident while completely parked! It took this company over a month to approve repairs! That being said, I missed 2 1/2 months of work due to negligence! Half a year after the said accident, I am still waiting for the loss of wages to be paid and may lose my home because of it! I am a single mother who just spent Christmas with nothing to give due to the lack of concern this company gives! Now, I am facing eviction for the same reason!

Terrible

Literally the worst insurance out there!!! Had an accident on January 2, 2022; the car is still at the tow truck 37 days later waiting to be towed to the auto shop recommended by Intact. As for the adjuster assigned to the case, doesn’t even bother to answer her phone or call us back, wondering if she even still works there!!! Unbelievable what we are going through… finally been able to get through to other adjusters and everyone has a different story. Nobody solving the problem! So we wait and wait and wait...

RUN!!! STAY AWAY!!!

by Disgusted Customer on Jan 15, 2022

This is the WORST experience with car insurance in my whole 22 years of driving!!! I started my claim for a damaged driver’s door (the car is not drivable because of this). It has been just short of 2 MONTHS!!!! No response, I have tried calling multiple times, emailing multiple times. Tried this again with a supervisor. Literally, no response so I can move forward. I was given a claim number and then blocked from using it to get work done. They won’t respond to allow me to rent a car. I have been forced to walk with my 2 young children during the winter, while they CONTINUE TO WITHDRAW PAYMENTS!!!! RUN RUN RUN in the opposite direction!! TRUST ME!

Worst Insurance Company in Canada - Avoid at All Costs!

Was the victim of a hit and run. Intact did absolutely nothing for me. I had a quote from my shop for $3K and they refused to look at it or ask for additional details. They wanted me to SCRAP the car even though it was completely roadworthy, it was just cosmetic body damage. Where will I get a replacement vehicle for $3500??? It was in great shape, repairs made and kept up to date. They refused to even enter into mediation, the Quebec Regulator (AMF) said they were rude and intransigent... only alternative now is to take them to court. I never should have switched (the previous insurer had upped the rate after a few years so I shopped around)... you get what you pay for, and with Intact you get nothing except horrendous service, rude people, and poorly worded letters that look like they used Google Translate. A completely unprofessional organization.

Now I know Why Insurance Cost So Much

by Amazed on Jan 10, 2022

Theft of my catalytic converter, Dec 20, 2021. Reported on the 20th. The claim started, an estimate was received and submitted by 2 pm, along with the police report. It is now Jan 10th and I have been in a rental car for 18 days for a $4K repair. The attitude of everyone I speak with is what is your problem yours in a rental car. Well, that rental car costs money to somebody every day. The company they all work for. The company that I pay for my policies. But no one is mandated with saving costs. 20 days to get approval on a 3-hour repair job and I still don't have it approved but they approved the rental car?? How does that make any sense? I'm left speechless!

Awful policy and worst system

by İc on Jun 4, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Intact has consumed my time in tricky ways.
I had an accident.
They played psychic games too much and finally, they denied everything.
I did not like my experience with them.
They also did not cancel my insurance after the accident till I sold the car totally.
Intact Insurance is cheap because it is a total scam system.
I am very sad to choose them because of their advertisements and the broker's wrong recommendation.
They are very rude and they know how to use psychic approaches to shut you down.
In fact, their system is like a toxic snake system and instead of helping you. They will hurt you much more than the accident.
Just avoid...

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.

Worst company of my life

I send them that I don’t want to renew with them. They send me a notice one month later, they said: "they didn’t receive my payment". I contacted my insurance broker ( because we can’t deal directly with Intact), they said I should advise by phone my broker. (that s not true) and they ask me for new insurance proof or I have to pay... I said it is not your business what is my new insurance company. I send them a legal letter, then, they cancelled my insurance. Also, I was with them since 2013 and we never claimed anything buy they increased my insurance between 10-15% every year. Avoid this company!

This place is a joke

My broker gave me less than 24 hours notice that my policy was being cancelled... In the middle of a pandemic... Now I'm paying $100 less at a better company than what I've been paying for 15 years with your company..... Because I was loyal..... But you weren't loyal to me during this pandemic..... Good riddance......my life is better now

Over charged for awhile......

This is my first review Ive ever written, that's how bad my experience is with Intact. I cancelled my second car's policy few months back, yet every month they kept charging me $979 for two vehicles, a Kia and an Audi, the first payment after the cancellation I had made bounced, because I figured it would be around half that stated amount ( I was always left in the dark as well about costs etc.,) So I received an letter after that one payment bounced stating I owed them a thousand something if I wanted to continue, basically the one months bill plus extra costs for the NSF payment. My one car is a new vehicle with financing, so I need the insurance coverage, my idiot broker told me to pay it and once it's paid he would resolve the issue and Id get refunded the difference. Well, I never heard back from either company, 3 weeks later they decided to take another $979 out of my account, then a week later they took $705 out. My payments were always due on the 29th of the month, these payments occurred back to back before that date, messing up my whole finances, it's quite a bit of money! So I flipped out on my broker, who told me that the $705 was for the Kia alone, I cancelled my policy right away before the following month and complained to the ombudsman emailed them called them and emailed them again, I havent heard anything back from anyone and its been over 2 weeks now, As it stands, if they were in fact charging me just over $700 for one car (which I have the same car insured for $330 now with a different company) then that would mean they were charging me $250ish for the 2008 Audi, if thats the case (sounds ridiculous by the way) then they owe me $250 for 3 months, plus my current month, $705, so over $1400, I have a feeling I will never see that money again....

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.

Avoid like the plague!!

I've been with Intact since I was 19 (so a few years) and everything is good, as long as you pay them their money each month. This past July I was in my first accident, and when I first called to make the claim, the first person I spoke to sounded very nice. Unfortunately I had to end that call and when I called back, a different adjuster answered. I already worked with her on a hail damage and she was very rude. Not only was the adjuster incompetent, I did not receive ANY information about what was happening with my vehicle. TWO MONTHS later, and I received a call from the local adjuster company stating my car was being written off and I should expect a call from my insurance adjuster the next business day. A month and a half later... I received a call from my rental car company stating that as of YESTERDAY my rental car was no longer being paid for by my insurance. I lost it. I called my adjuster every 5 minutes and left 3 voicemails as she wasn't answering, I sent 3 e-mails to her, only to find out she wasn't my adjuster anymore, that it was now handed off to a "total loss adjuster." Once I sent in a complaint I was finally able to speak with her supervisor and within 2 days my claim was FINALLY settled by the end of October. My accident was in July.

Before my accident, I had a "hail-damage" claim as well. That was a mess as well. First off, it didn't take until AFTER my accident was settled before she sent me a settlement claim for the hail. The cheque I was sent BOUNCED, and I had to wait patiently for the new cheque to come. I wasn't able to pay my rent, pay for food or even pay my car payments for my new car! My only saving grace was when I received a cheque from the car dealership I purchased my new vehicle from. My bank wouldn't unfreeze my account in time (I had to go THREE times for them to unfreeze my account, and all they had to do was uncheck a box in their computer). Needless to say my insurance payment didn't go through for the month, and i received a letter stating it would come out the 19th of November. When the 19th came around, my payment didn't come out. I waited for the next business day (Monday) to see if it would come out and it did not. I called my broker (Sharp Insurance, do not use as well) and I was on hold for about 11 minutes before I could speak with anyone. During the conversation I was put on hold for about 5 minutes at a time, 3 times. Turns out the reason my payment didn't go through was because I NEVER called to confirm. It was on the notice they sent me. Myself and my mom both read the notice front to back 3 times trying to find where it said I had to call them. Last January, my payment was a few dollars short, so it didn't go through. Someone phoned me within a few days and spoke to me about my payment and such. When I mentioned that to my broker, he rudely explained that it isn't up to Sharp or Intact to follow up. When I explained I worked for property management, and when people don't pay their rent, it is our job to follow up. When you want your money, you phone. Anyways, I ended up hanging up on the guy after he told me to make an online payment, which I did. Yesterday, I received through registered mail that they were cancelling my policy due to non-payment. This was about 5:30 in the evening and when I phoned my broker (who claims 24 customer service) do you think I was able to get through? No. Now today, I had to take an unpaid day off just to deal with this mess.
