Terrible Service

by Tanya O on Jun 5, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

My sister in law died suddenly. We have been trying for 3 weeks solid to reach an agent, have an email returned or any form of communication during this tragic time. We have no way of moving forward or cancelling or doing anything until somebody calls us back. We can't believe that this is an insurance company that should be at the ready for clients who are paying good money. We would like somebody to help us.

Very disappointed

by Iryna on May 29, 2020

I was with this company for 6 years. In one day they told me they can’t give me auto insurance because all my husband’s accidents are now in my name and they can’t give me 2-way insurance because I have 2 accidents now, which is not true and the simple one-way insurance isn’t working for me because my car was financed...

The worst insurance EVER

by Matt on Apr 30, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

No customer support at all, after waiting hours, literally hours on hold they cannot do anything over the phone. Their customer portal is a joke, most of the time it does not work and they redirect you to call them like in the '90s everything is phone-based. Cancelling the insurance is a pain, they will jack up the rates like crazy, for anything even minor stuff. I really do not recommend Johnson/Unifund Insurance at all.

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.

Sold my Suv

Found out a year later that Johnson Insurance was still taking money for my SUV that I sold in May 2019, and won’t pay back what they owe me, said that my husband was supposed to call and cancel, they didn’t tell me that but said it was all takes care of when they talked to me in May 2019.

Cancelled after 13 years!

by Jacqueline on Oct 26, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Almost 3 years ago I got a ticket for having my cell phone in my hand... just a week ago they cancelled me after more than 13 years. I’ve never missed a payment or been at fault for an accident and I’ve been insured since 1991 and have no suspensions or fines. The customer service representative repeatedly said I had been convicted of a serious offence. She had me in tears! I don’t recommend Johnsons to anyone. They don’t respect loyalty or safe drivers. I understand I made a mistake and I paid my ticket but the laws were only put into effect over the last few years and it’s not like I caused an accident. If it was so serious why did they wait 2 years and 11 months to get on it?

Rate increase

by DAVID on Oct 11, 2019
2 out of 5 stars

We received our renewal, our rates had exactly doubled. We thought it was an error. After several calls, we finally spoke with an associate. They confirmed that the increase was correct and that it was to keep competitive in the market. Being a couple with a pristine driving record this was unacceptable. We shopped around and moved on.

They are not very good

by Lawrence on Aug 23, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

They are not a very good company. I had a bad experience where I was dropped after two "at faults" in five years. I use the term "at faults" liberally, because they define it very liberally, and without evidence. My second "at fault" had no police report and no one to state that I was wrong. The only feedback they had was from me, who told them the truth. They dropped me anyways, even though I had been with them for more than twelve years. When I tried to appeal it to them, and the third party they dealt with (ClaimsPro) my calls, emails and letters were not returned or I would be strung-along. They did not treat me like a real human being or a valued customer. They strung me along and set me up to fail. Basically, they have bad customer service. They also outsource a lot and it's hard to reach people when you need them.

Very bad experience

by SCADragon on Aug 14, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Their insurance is way higher than the other, so I decided to cancel it. Then they charged me $300 cancellation fee without letting you know. I become very frustrated and called them. Their attitude is like- so what? I am not going to refund you. Sue me!

First and only claim in 20yrs

by KJ on Apr 18, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

It's been two months and counting and I haven't been issued my payment. Even after the claim was excepted and signed. I will be cancelling my insurance once I, finally, receive payment. Stay away from this company. The reviews are correct! This company is a scam! They will postpone your claim, so you get a bottom dollar for your vehicle.

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.

Unethical Business Practices

by evergreenbubbles on Mar 22, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I have been with this company for 15 years. Initially, I had great service with them until I made a second at-fault claim within 5 years. I had not been informed that they changed their policy to not renew after 2 at-fault claims in 5 years instead of 3, the industry standard. They did not take into consideration the fact I had been with them for 15 years and had only 2 at-fault claims and no traffic violations. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Let everyone know. Unethical companies need to know that these business practices are not OK and that we have power as consumers to demand better treatment.
