Avoids paying claims

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.
Our daughter has had Meloche Monnex auto and car insurance for over 14 years. Last week her car was rear-ended by a snow removal dump truck and the car was totalled, according to the insurance adjuster. Luckily, she had minor injuries and whiplash, but was transported by ambulance to the hospital from the accident on the advice of the police. As she was not there when the car was removed and the police were finished, she was not able to get a copy of the police report at the time and must wait 10-14 days for it. Meloche will pay for a rental car only for 1 week, and that means she has no transportation. They expect her to drive ~40 miles to their office to pick up papers and the miniscule check they are providing for the loss of her car. They are paying only about 45% of the book value and have not provided any proof tat the damage is actually more extensive than the value of the car. Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever heard of. Do not, under any circumstances, get a policy with this firm. I have made it my crusade to make sure everyone I know is aware of their treatment. Won't help our daughter with the expense of her new car, but maybe someone else. We never know just how good or bad our insurance providers are until we need to claim. This firm is really rock bottom on the list. keep away!
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.
Customer for many years. I have found that the rates from TD Meloche Monnex has consistently been amongst the lower priced suppliers. But even more important, is that when my car was t-boned, the claim was handled promptly and in a very professional manner. Rental car was provided which I used for 1 month as my car was in the shop for that long to get parts in from Germany (nothing exotic - just a Saturn Astra). Body shop and car rental was paid directly by TDMM. I will be renewing with them.

First of all...stay far away from this company! We had a small accident a few weeks ago that caused minor surface damage to the rear of our vehicle. We got our own repair estimate for $2500. We took it to their guys so that we could file our claim. We waited over THREE WEEKS for them to get back to us after numerous follow-ups, only to find out work hadn't even started on our vehicle. The repair shop blamed the insurance company for not sending paperwork, and TD Meloche blamed the repair shop for being backed-up with work. We, finally, escalated it to a manager. Got a call back the next day to tell us that the vehicle was considered a write-off. We're still waiting to find out our settlement offer, apparently, there is no one we can speak to on it, and we just have to keep waiting for some indefinite time. We bought our vehicle just three years ago for $11K. And they're writing it off for approx. $3k of damage? Why even have insurance if they can just choose to write it off for whatever they want and not repair it when you file a claim. This has been a complete nightmare I wouldn't wish to anyone. Oh...and we had no rental vehicle coverage on our policy, so all this time have been down a vehicle which I understand was our choice not to take it. But you also don't expect an insurance company to take three weeks just to START processing your claim. I tried to ask for a rental vehicle at this point but of course, the answer was no.
