Terrible claim experience

by v17 on Dec 18, 2019
2 out of 5 stars

WORST company I've ever had to deal with. The mistakes and excuses given are like nothing I've ever heard before. After a week of waiting for their adjustor which was pointless because the estimate wasn't even accurate. I was told my car was at the body shop and getting fixed and I would get a call when it is ready. 10 days later I get a call thinking my car should be ready, only to learn its a loss, they won't fix it, return the rental in 1 business day. Their adjustor missed stuff because he didn't put the car on a hoist because "the battery was dead". For 10 days I thought my car was being fixed so I took no action to look into other options, I was informed no one contacted me because there was a "clerical error, and my claims representative was sick and in training a few days". Had to argue to have the rental longer as I was blindsided due to their mistakes, extending the rental should have just been offered at the very least! I was offered money for my car that couldn't get me something equivalent as the kms were low and the car was in great condition. So the day I found out this news I left work to get a second opinion on the damage of my car to find out the company towed it an hour away the same day they called me to give me the news but didn't inform me or even mention the car would be moved. The excuse this time was "that was a mistake". Its never-ending difficulties and they do nothing to accommodate, just give excuses and make the client suffer for it.

Good service but too expensive

Had a commercial insurance policy with Intact and had a small claim. The service was OK and the repair was done which I paid for. Intact then quadrupled my monthly rate. It was pretty outrageous so I'm currently hunting for another insurance company.

Unfair practice

We recently sold our condo and purchased a detached house. We contacted our home and auto insurer, Intact, and asked them to quote on the new house. They wouldn’t insure us for flood damage, which we knew we needed and wanted, so we had to transfer our policy to a company who would provide that coverage. Intact has penalized us and debited our bank account for cancelling our policy... despite them not willing to provide the coverage, we need. Very unfair, in our opinion.

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 Customer Service

They approved my windshield claim four months ago and all of a sudden called me up and left a message saying they decided they won't be paying for it. It turns out that the adjuster that approved the claim made a mistake and it shouldn't have been approved in the first place. That's not my problem, Intact. It's yours. Meanwhile, the company that completed the APPROVED claim has been out the almost $500 for four months. And now, conveniently, the request I made to speak to a supervisor never got passed on. So I call back 48-hours later and now they are all "in a meeting". Not enjoying getting the run-around. I want this resolved.

INTACT IS A NIGHTMARE !!!

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 !!!

Customer Service is terrible

After cancelling my insurance with my broker and filling out the appropriate cancellation form, about a month later I received a registered letter saying there is an outstanding payment of $31. It has no phone number or any instructions on how to make the payment. My broker did not mention any late payments or any fees for cancelling the policy. After being a loyal customer for 5 years with no claims, this is the customer service they provide. I'm glad I never actually had to make a claim.

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.

INTACT AUTO INS RENEWAL PRICES

by YIZ on Aug 1, 2017

My wife after several years of dealing with a broker, received her renewal policy in July 2017. The price she paid last year was $509 with Intact. The broker switched the former insurance company to Intact. She has never had an insurance claim in over 25 years and now Intact wanted $642 for a year older car and with the same coverage. This is a ridiculous increase of slightly over 26%. Intact is ripping us off. I cancelled them for our house insurance, my vehicle insurance and my RV. Do not use or fall for Intact's TV advertising that they pardon you for 2 claims if you are a new customer. You stop being a new customer after the first year & then you become an old customer – a subject to their price increases. This is how they get new customers. Don't hear too many good comments / reviews about them. Stick with another company!! Please!

Brutal Experience.

I was in a single vehicle accident in the winter time. When I called the claims department of Intact Insurance, first off, no one asked me if I was alright or injured. In case someone that works there actually cares... I'm fine. The representative first started off by saying that any object on the road or the side of the road is 100% avoidable. Which is nonsense! I responded by saying if I didn't hit the hydro poll, I would have gone into a pond and my vehicle would have been submerged and I could have possibly died. The response I got; 'it would have been better than hitting the pole and writing off your car and paying you out'... WHAT! SERIOUSLY! After I cussed the representative out for saying that for a good 15 minutes, it took 3 weeks for them to evaluate my vehicle's condition, only for them to tell me it was a write off (which I already knew because all the airbags deployed). Then another 4 weeks for me to receive my compensated cheque for the car. If I owed Intact money, they would have given me a date to pay it by and if not paid by the selected date, they no doubt would start charging me interest. Why couldn't I do that to them? Charge Intact interest for being unbelievably slow. And now, 5 months later I'm still waiting for my personal belongings from the trunk of my vehicle which Intact apparently mailed out to me in January. I know they never did and I WILL be asking for compensation for my belongings that I believe are long gone now. A while back too, I found out that an Intact rep was giving away my personal payment history to my father via email (which is NONE of his business), not knowing for sure that it's my dad on the other side emailing. There could have easily been someone holding a gun to his head telling him to email Intact about me. Thanks, Intact Insurance, I feel safe with you as a customer... *cough* TRUST ME; I will be leaving Intact Insurance the second that accident is off my record. I'm patient, I can wait 6 years. Let the countdown begin!!

Worst customer service ever!

They were easy to deal with until I had a claim. The start of my claim was easy, right up until it was deemed a total loss. Once that was decided customer service went way down hill. They gave me 3 days to return my rental (i was maybe at $250 of the $2500 i was covered for) My less then a year old truck was written off in a wind storm in mid may, after a month I finally was paid out the difference of my loan and what I had paid into it, via direct deposit into my account( this would have taken much longer if I did not fight for it, I had no transportation to work or daycare for my child). June 12 it was my understanding that everything was dealt with and done. I received a call today July 29th from TD where my loan (is still currently through) stating that my account is 50+ days past due because intact never paid them anything. When I called intact the proceeded to put the blame on me, they mailed out my $30,000+ payout cheque twice via snail mail, rather then courier with tracking, the first time it was lost and the second one (only sent out on July 25) they still have not received!! Needless to say I made the call to switch companies today.
