Was in a no-fault claim. Car wrote off because they valued car incorrectly comparing to the wrong vehicle. After three days told to return rental per 'my' policy, even though other insurance covered it. No car for months, as a result, lost a job, missed mortgage payment, no access to the grocery store as live 35 minutes from town. 2 months isolated without transportation. TD would not advocate for me or cover me and this was after 30 years of paying into car insurance with no claims.
I will NEVER get insurance from them again!! Every time I call, I’m waiting minimum an hour. I’ve had to call MANY times for a rental car that I was told “will be covered until the claim is done”, the rental company was calling every day asking if I was bringing it back. I was charged for another month of insurance and I don’t even have a vehicle anymore due to the accident. Not at all organized and very unprofessional. They need to get their act together.
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.
Word of advice. Never use TD Meloche Monnox. Worst customer experience I’ve ever had. I was calling in regards to a small crack in my windshield caused by flying debris during a windstorm. I was originally on hold 20 minutes. I understood the windstorm caused fairly widespread damage which caused them to be very busy, so this was acceptable. The conversation went as expected, and a claim was about to be filed. My last question was “is this going to affect my premiums?”, which to me is a fairly normal question. He responded that he was unauthorized to answer that question. So here I go back to the 1800 number. This wait was over an hour to only find out that it is standard that my premiums will not be affected. A very black and white answer (that the previous person should have been able to answer). I was then transferred 3 more times to the wrong department who said there was no record of my claim being started. Finally, I was transferred back to the original department I was talking to who said that my claim was a click away from being filed. This whole debacle took well over 3 hours for a small crack in my windshield. Takeaway: Rather than having one person who can answer all your questions, they have fragmented their services into various departments that have little to no communication between one another. It seemed as if they didn't even have access to the same information. I felt as if I talked to 5 different companies rather than one. My advice would be to read other reviews and shop around before choosing an insurance company. I wish I had done this before selecting Meloche Monnex
Their initial response to a claim is helpful and efficient. They will pay invoices from their business partners, such as body shops, quickly and without question, even when, as in one case, the invoice was fraudulent. Their handling of repair claims is satisfactory as far as the policyholder is concerned. The picture changes when they have to make a payment to the policyholder, and it can take months of haggling and even legal threats to reach an acceptable settlement. They drag out their responses, presumably with the intention of wearing down the policyholder, and their staff give the impression that they there to defend the company rather than help the client. Their process for assessing the replacement value of a stolen or totalled car is bizarre. It would be irresponsible to recommend them to anyone.
DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. I got rear-ended and the adjuster said I was at fault. Are you kidding me?! My car is fairly old but has low mileage on it and they said it's a total loss because they "can't find the parts for it" and only offered 6k for the car. IT'S A SCAM.
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.
They treat you well up front. Do not believe it. We don't mind paying higher premiums believing perhaps the company can be trusted. Wrong! When it comes to claims Beware! Do not allow them to just repair without knowing what the cost will be within reason. They will screw you out of a new vehicle though you have paid for the 5 year replacement insurance. Do Not Trust them!!!!
It has been a good experience with TD Meloche Monnex. The claim line was picked up quickly and the lady was sympathetic and helpful. She booked the body shop / appraisal right away, and arranged the car rental immediately.
When I wanted to switch to a different body shop, the appraiser came right away and all the paper work was provided to me and my mechanic with an hour. The appraiser is knowledgeable, friendly and really efficient.
Only it is a bit hard to reach the adjuster at the first couple of days. I presume it is the time needed for the adjuster to do the investigation. Once the conclusion is made, everything moves really fast.
I have been with this company for 18 years and I am satisfied with their service.
I have absolutely no idea why so many people are complaining. I have been with Meloche Monnex for over 9 years, ever since I began driving at age 16. I've had several claim experiences with them, which have always been dealt with professionally. I have only experienced long wait times when calling at peak hours, which is common sense to expect. That's not even something I'd complain about. Every single person I've dealt with has CONSISTENTLY been amazing. I have called them MANY times, as I'm one of those people who calls even if a small question arises. They have ALWAYS been patient with me, answering my questions to my satisfaction, and I even receive consistent answers when asking the same question to multiple people. My rates are incomparable to anyone I know, so that is another plus. Recently, Meloche Monnex denied renewing my policy because I had acquired too many speeding tickets, but they notified me in advance and explained that I could come back once a few tickets were off my record. Fast forward 6 months, and I just got off the phone with them to get a new policy with them. Once again, I had a very positive experience with the person I spoke to, and despite still having 2 speeding tickets on my record, I still received an extremely low rate. In terms of the claims I've made, my car was always repaired by professionals and even arranging rental vehicles was NEVER an issue. I literally cannot fathom why anyone would complain about them, as I've spoken to countless people employed at Meloche Monnex and I have nothing negative to say.
I had a car accident and followed through with my claim, two weeks later, I have recieved calls for car financing and mail for the same in droves. I have never had this much mail (three inserts per day) nor ever had unsolicited calls. What's up with that?
Totalled my leased 2015 Corvette Z51, it was almost a 6 figure car and only took about a month and a bit to receive my claim. Didn't even realized the coverage I had (full replacement cost value and grand touring package), they could've lied and told me I didn't have either of those and could've gotten away with it. They set me up right away with a rental vehicle because of the grand touring package and guided me through the whole situation. They were very good at keeping me up to date with emails and occasional phone calls. The only problem was if I missed any of their calls or needed to ask a question, the wait time was over an hour hold over the phone... When I first crashed my vehicle, I was for sure expecting to pay the rest of the vehicle out of my pocket, but in the end, the vehicle always paid off and I received close to $40,000!! I was so worried too when I read the reviews dealing with TD, because of such negative reviews and low ratings. I realized realistically people that had good experiences don't post good reviews because they already got what they want, it's only the people that had a bad experience and want to bash on the company that will take the time to rant about it.
