Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

I tried to rate this zero stars rather than one star. But one star appears to be the lowest possibility. Our car lease expired in July 2018. We called TD Meloche Monnex to cancel our insurance before returning the car. One year later, we received a renewal notice from TD; we called them again and reminded them that this had been cancelled one year before; they said to provide proof that the lease had expired. We provided them with the lease showing the expiry date and even the inspection report when the car was returned; they indicated that they needed some mythical "end of lease" agreement, which is not a thing. Amazingly, we have again (two years later!!) just received another renewal notice - they have now continued to charge us insurance for this car for two years since our lease expired, and they still won't cancel the insurance without the mythical "end of lease" agreement!! Have just spent 2.5 hours on the phone; their agents are very polite and empathetic but their underwriting group appears to have the mandate to squeeze customers for everything they can. We used this company for 15 years. We are now cancelling all of our home and auto policies with them; we will never, ever, ever use them again. On principle, we are taking the matter above to small claims court. I would strongly advise against insurance with this company - just not worth it.

Their customer service is terrible, it's so hard to get anyone on the phone. Updating your insurance takes 30+ days on their app/website. They've multi-charged us a few times and the only way to fix it, IF you catch it, is they'll charge slightly less per month for the rest of the year to make up the difference. Horrible. The one claim I've had in 30 years, they dropped the ball massively, didn't pay the damages for like 6 months. It took forever and so many calls to finally resolve. The last straw for me was that they'd stopped mailing updated insurance papers every year, so I was walking around with a 3-year-old insurance paper in my wallet and no way to get updated ones (unless I want to sit on hold for hours). I couldn't rent a van because their app was also down and I had no proof of insurance. Thank god I wasn't pulled over by the cops. I struggle to imagine any way they could be more negligent.

I had a claim that I called and cancelled as I found a more cost-effective alternative elsewhere. It was with utter shock I received an mail nearly 2 years later stating I owed over $700 in unpaid insurance. All my attempts to reason with TD fell on deaf ears. I provided documents showing I had active insurance elsewhere and even went as far as contacting my phone provider to get records of prior conversations I had. I wrote TD multiple times with no success. This has left me with rising deductibles with my current insurance. It truly is pathetic that companies will do anything to reap people of hard-earned income. I will do everything in my power to dissuade anyone thinking of doing business with TD to think twice, the experience is just not worth your hassle

Had a claim in April with no deductible. Got a call in September that they want to collect 450$ deductible, asked why what happened they said that I must pay it like it or not. I asked the manager but I was told that I won't have a deductible and she didn't care and said if I don't pay it that they will send it to collections. That is the service you will get if you sign car/home insurance with them. STAY AWAY!

I’ll start off with what seems to be the common trend, and that is the wait times are extremely long. I’ve been waiting for 2 hours and 20 minutes so far, but typically I’ve waited for an hour. So this is a record. Is there anyone working? They need to hire more people if everyone is really busy. And like others have said, they should tell you what number you are in the queue and call you back when it’s your turn like phone companies do. However, the real reason why I am posting this is because of the unprofessional customer service I have had with the adjusters for my claim. I was in a car accident earlier this year. My adjuster called me and left me a voicemail at 1 pm while I was at work (they have a record of your profession by the way so why would she call me during the way when I’m working?). I tried calling her back and left several voicemails and tried calling the claims department to which said “she’s been trying to get a hold of you. She called you on Monday.” She called me Once. I kept calling for 3 Weeks and when I tried emailing her to ask what’s the current status of my claim, she said “I don’t have info on your policy. You have to contact customer service.” That was completely irrelevant! I was even referred to her supervisor, who was just as impossible to get a hold of. Fortunately, after many calls, during the fourth week after my accident, I got through to a girl in the claims department who was so much help and filed my paperwork, who, by the way, was talking to me from Nova Scotia while I was in Ontario. Towards the end of my claim, my first adjuster finally emailed me to send her my documents, after 4 weeks. Sadly, just as I thought the nightmare was over, something else came up. I had used a rental car after my accident for one month since my car was a write-off and it was included in my insurance policy. I returned the car after and thought everything was fine. Last month, I got a notification that over $1400 has been withdrawn from my Visa. It was taken from the car rental company. I immediately called them after work and get through to a lady in accounting service. She tells me that she had been trying to get a hold of my adjuster from the insurance company and her manager because They Did Not pay the Rental Car... She emailed them saying that if they didn’t pay, she was going to have to take it out from My account and I’d have to deal with the issue. My accident was in January, and I had the accident until the end of February, so for 4 Months, TD Meloche did not pay the rental car company, and now I have to deal with it and wait on the phone to get a money transfer. And by the way, I’m still waiting for my licence plate to get released from the car dump (I did not get to remove it). This is another issue that I get to deal with. I’ve been waiting for 3 hours now since I started writing this review. The only reason I’m still with TD Meloche is because of their low rates and their insurance packages.

First, I just wanted to call them and try to correct the payment that they mistakenly withdraw from my Moms account. I don't understand why I set up the account with them and they mistakenly deduct the money from my Moms account. Secondly, I waited for more than 3 hours to call them. I do not understand why on this planet there is such company working in this bad way, seems like we are no choice. Sincerely hope there will be a new company to replace them ASAP.

I had been with Liberty Mutual for years before they left Alberta and sold to TD Insurance. For the first few years, TD was decent in their service and rates. However, service, wait times, and insurance premiums have become unrealistic. While we have a newer driver in the family, the rest of us have zero accidents, hold professional driver's licenses, and no penalties. While we hoped that after dealing with this "company" for almost 35 years, we hoped the poor customer service and long wait times we started to experience within the second year was just a phase. We were prepared for the additional cost of adding a new driver still on her GDL, our insurance premiums continued to climb despite multi-vehicle and no claims. After being with "this" company for 35 years, we decided to explore other insurance companies, and after finding one that insured us for the 3 we currently have with TD, added a fourth vehicle and still walked away saving $150/year. When trying to cancel the insurance, had to wait on hold for 1h10min, and they still wouldn't cancel the insurance without talking to my husband?! We've been on the same policy for 25 years! Then to top the delight in dealing with them off, after paying our premium for May of $460, three days later, they are graciously giving me $54 back... So, after this many years, I am so truly sad at what use to be a decent, competitive company that recognized long term clients and was easy to deal with, become another money-grabbing, do whatever they can to make it difficult for their clients to deal with them. Save your money and time and take it from a former VERY loyal client, there ARE many other fantastic options out there.

Never use them. I called in regards to my upcoming renewal and was told it was not processed yet. I was also told my payment date would be pushed back to reflect their late release of my paperwork. 2 and a half weeks later I received my paperwork, informing me the payment date was the same. I called in to see about pushing it back and was informed it was locked in THE DAY I CALLED to inquire about my payment. I was unable to secure the payment on the scheduled date but cancelled my policy due to their poor customer service anyway. They admitted their fault and offered reimbursement for the NSF fees. I was promised it would be deposited the following Monday. Monday came, no deposit. I called back and was informed that they had actually mailed cheques out. Nearly 2 weeks later, I'm still waiting. I call today to be told it would be a 2 to 3 week process to cancel the cheques and deposit the money directly. They also owe me $180 from my policy cancellation, but I'm not holding my breath on that.

TD insurance is the biggest liar in Toronto. Stay away from them if possible. They can constantly increase your quote and charge extra when activating/setting up your account. I have to stuck with them for a year, and won't stay with them afterward. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BILL , ESPECIALLY FOR NEW CUSTOMERS USING TD ADVANTAGE APP. THEY WILL CHARGE EXTRA AND STEAL YOUR MONEY. We just relocated to Toronto a month ago, and shopped around for auto insurance. It seemed that TD insurance can provide us the reasonable rate so far since we had been staying with TD insurance for a few years outside Ontario and have a clean driving record. So we asked them to send a hard copy of the quote. When the mail arrived, the quote was around $150 higher than the one we quoted on the phone. So I called back, one of the agents told me that her co-worker made a mistake on our previous quote (lower rate). Excuse me! I said I thought your guys are professionals and asked to talk with her supervisor. The agent asked me to hold on, it turned out that she hanged out my phone. She was so rude that I tried to complain about what happened to me with their supervisor's phone line on their website. Nobody answered my phone and asked to leave a voice message. I did, there was no response from them since it has been almost a month. I kept shopping around because of TD insurance unreliability, their quote (the higher one) was still the reasonable one we can get, because we can get some group discount. For the sake of money, I went back and called them to activate our account early in the morning. Since unpleasant experience on quote, I double checked our premium, coverage (including download TD advantage App for 5% discount) before activating. So I preferred the payment by credit card, which is the only option for full payment. And I asked the agent repeated how much he will charge on credit card. The amount of payment was the exact number as the higher rate. So I gave him my husband's credit card information. It's done. And I asked him to send a temporary insurance file to us. Due to the post office being on strike, we need to get our car registration and switch licence plate in a week. I still didn't trust them, when my husband got off from work and called them in the evening to check how much they charge from credit card. Okay, it's the same amount as the quote. To our surprise, I got the official document of Auto insurance this afternoon, they charged us more than $100. So I was so confused that I called them to ask what is going on. It took a while for an agent to figure out the problem. They didn't give us a 5% discount when we downloaded TD advantage App. Jesus Christ! We agreed with using this App. They even sent us an email and asked us to download App with PIN. What's wrong with these people? If you don't provide us the discount, why did you ask us to download the App? They thought we didn't know the amount they charged extra. Unfortunately, I kept every record from them, it can be traceable. I read so many bad reviews about this App, I gave up on this App. I don't want to install it or have any issue with them. So be it.
