Absolutely incredible!

I have had to wait for an hour and a half to speak with someone, today waiting 45 min to cancel an ATV policy that was $427/year, and they want to charge me $106.13 to cancel... Ridiculous, never had a claim... I'll be moving everything from them!
We have been customers of TD for years, for both car and home insurance. I just sold my old car and am buying a new one and needed to contact TD. So far I have spent over 3 hours on hold, and have sent 3 emails through their online system! This is beyond unacceptable!
They need to stop using the typical "we are experienced higher than normal call volumes" excuse and do something about their customer experience! I've been on hold for over an hour and no callback option nor an estimated wait time... They need to be held more accountable, and offer more transparency to customers... this "it is what it is" attitude is not acceptable at all.
First of all, the three times that I had to contact them, it took me at least 1 hour and 15 min waiting on the line. Second, when I signed my first-year insurance with TD they said I could download the My TD Advantage app to receive up to 25% if I have at least 1000km and a minimum of 90 days usage. I did it and I called them right away to obtain my 22% discount (as the app was displaying). At that time they told me that the discount would come only on the renewal and I would have to use the app for more than 9 months. I did it!! When I called them to renewal they mentioned that my premium was exactly the same amount as the previous year (actually the difference was one dollar). Then I asked about the app discount, they said they had already accounted for the 20% discount from the app usage and the reason was that the insurance actually increased 20% from the previous year to the current year. I did not like the answer, so I went online to price my insurance on TD online tool, I added all my information (age, years of license, the street that I live), all the same, but using another name... The online tool gave me the same rate that they said I would have to pay with the app discount. I am not gonna change the system or fight with them, I changed my insurance to another company for better pricing and I will never do TD again. My advice is DO NOT BELIEVE IN TD DISCOUNT APP TO OBTAIN DISCOUNTS FOR THE NEXT YEAR. It is fake!
I have multiple vehicles and properties insured through this company. Last month they arbitrarily decided to increase all of my vehicle insurance premiums by $22 per month per vehicle. I've been trying to get a hold of them to discuss this but to no avail. First time I was on hold for almost 1.5 hours when someone from Ontario got on the line. After learning that I called from Alberta she told me that she couldn't help me and that I needed to speak with someone from Alberta and that she will transfer me. Instead of transferring me, she ended up hanging up on me. Today I called again, only to be on hold for 2.5 hours this time after giving up. I think I'm not the only one they arbitrarily increased premiums on and now they refuse to pick up calls using Covid as an excuse.
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.
I have been on the phone for over 2 hours. This is insane. I tried using the option of them calling me back but they never do. How do you reach them??? Horrible experience! If you get a competitive rate somewhere else, don't use TD insurance...
I had to spend two hours on hold to cancel my auto insurance policy with them. Worst customer service. Don't sign any policy with them. Expensive!
Literally impossible to get through to customer service. Tried on multiple occasions. Automated voice messages and terrible guitar riff music for > 2hours on multiple occasions. Choose a different company,
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.
I started with Primmum (who was excellent), TD Insurance would not renew and forced us over to TD Insurance - and wouldn't provide a loyalty bonus (claiming we were new to TD Insurance - even though TD owns Primmum). Since being with TD Insurance, pricing has substantially increased and wait times have exploded... blaming many of our wait times on Covid-19 is not legitimate...why can't TD figure this out? Even just offering a call back option when calling in would go a long way. I feel bad for the employees left holding the bag, it must be a terrible place to work if staff are jumping off the ship (as a representative I spoke to blamed the wait on staff shortage... doesn't seem like TD is investing enough to make this a real business. Will try out a local broker when my policies are up for renewal... it is worth paying a little more to have better service and support local instead of TD who obviously doesn't care.

You deserve what happens to you if you choose them! I really cannot contact them to cancel the insurance. I have two email addresses and nobody replies. I waited once over 2 hours, once over 1.5 hours and 2-3 other times less, but nobody answered. It's a nightmare! It never happened to me in Canada on anything! STAY AWAY!
