Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

TD sent my renewal and then subsequent cancellation notice to an incorrect address after I moved. They had missed a digit when I called to let them know about the change of address. I didn't notice the payment hadn't come out of my account until they phoned 3.5 months later to check my address and tell me they had cancelled the policy a month ago. Not allowed to pay and renew without a 30-day application process and increased rate. Also tagged with Non-payment on my record. All of this could have been avoided with a phone call.

When I came to Canada I had great trouble finding car insurance that was affordable. I was quoted in excess of $3000 per year from many companies …for a second hand car that cost $2500. Finally I got in touch with Meloche Mennox, who happily accepted my 20 years non-claims history from my home country insurance company. Fast forward three years and my car is totalled on HWY 1…not at fault, black ice, walloped by another vehicle also hitting black ice. When I start the processing's I'm told they're sending me a claims form. I wait. And wait. The rental car I was given for 1 week get's returned. It's January and I'm still waiting. Another couple of weeks go by and nothing arrives. I call them and they say it was sent. I wait a few more days. I get angry. I call again. Then they finally communicate and say (matter of factly) it was sent via email. Email? To the wrong address. Anyway, I complete the form (which I had to print out anyway and it gets sent to them. I noticed when the claim is accepted and I get my insurance paid out - after about 8 weeks, the MM had also taken an insurance payment out of my account - after the date they'd accepted the claim and declared it a write-off.

Despite 7 months of calls to try and retrieve this over-payment, and despite every person I spoke with agreeing that this was their mistake - I got nothing. Only empty promises ...and lies upon lies. A paltry sum paid to me for years of loyalty and no claims. Go figure.

Fast forward a year. I also had my house insured by them and my mortgage from them. They hounded me relentlessly to buy more insurance. Every night for months I've get a call at 9pm. I told them about my car insurance fiasco - every single night. When my mortgage and house insurance was due for renewal - I took action with my dollars. Never trust them. Remember how they also refused to pay out after the flood disaster?

By the way …I'm writing this 10 years later. Never forget!!

Have been a customer with TD since 1996, through University Alumni Program, both Auto and Home with no claims. Twenty years of being a customer and have I ever got a thank you. NO! But what I do get is ever increasing rates. University Alumni Programs with TD Monnex are such a SCAM! SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. Have started to shop around as I will be saying goodbye to TD as it is long overdue. TD = SCAM

We are with TD Meloche Monnex for last 8 years. We never had a claim, never got a ticket, luckily never had an accident. We also had house insurance with them from last year. I got G licence this year. As per our last conversation our insurance rate suppose to decrease for next year. But We are surprised to see that out rate increase 28/mo for next one yr. When I called they dont have any logical explanation. Even the guy on the phone are telling that there are no logical explanation why its gone up and he is sorry but he can not do anything about it. We have time to accept it or reject it after doing our own math.
This is how they are treating their loyal customer!!

son purchased insurance at an unbelievable rate and purchased a nice little car. He rolled a stop sign and td cancelled his insurance. At no time did they disclose that the insurance could be cancelled, now he's stuck with a huge car payment and insurance. Thanks td

The company is a huge rip off. I had auto insurance with them on a student plan. Initially i paid the first and last month of the insurance. My car stopped working and I had to cancel my insurance after 8 months. I called and spoke to the customer service rep and he said that they will return my last month's payment but they will have to deduct a 18 dollar fee. I was waiting for my money to be deposited into my account but i received a letter stated I owe them $247 dollars. They were supposed to return my money instead they wanted to charge me some premium. When I called them they told me it was the cancellation fee for a year's contract. When I had called to sign up for the insurance I was not told of any cancellation fees or premiums. Their call centre is not informative for first time car buyers and I feel extremely cheated. Today I received a call from collections that they have forwarded this amount to them because I refused to pay it.

I am not going to let this matter go! I had an extremely disappointing experience and I would suggest ppl to stay away from TD insurance

RIP OFF!!!

Insured by Monnex for 30 years until now. Successive buy outs leading to TD buy out has led to extortive premiums triple that of other Tier 1 competitors. For all those reading about premium pain, it's all true. Shop elsewhere. What was once an amazing compay Monnex is now long Dead, and you are only contributing to outrageous bank profits with this insurer. Leaving after 30 years, I do know.

1 - Increase home insurance rates by 70%; I never had a claim in 15 years I was insured with them. I gave them a boot.
2 - My wife called them to report an individual that was writing her vehicle information to avoid a scam. They recorded as an at fault incident - with no recourse. Waiting to give them a big boot .
3 - My car; I gave them a booth.

My recommendation to this company is to hire real professionals to manage risks and stop looking for stupid excuses to hike prices and blatantly disrespecting customers.

I had been with TD since 2001 (so over 12 years).
At first my auto rates were very reasonable.
But noticed that my rates have been going up for the last few years.
I'm in my late 30's, have home insurance with them, have had a clean record for over 9 years (my only accident was in 2004 and was a both at fault accident, but has since been wiped off my record). I don't drive anything fancy or racy. Yet this year's renewal went up over 15%. When I called, the customer rep had no answer, only to say, it might be the car you drive.
So I have since left, as I used a insurance broker who found me another company 45% less!
I have since moved both my home and auto insurance over.
