Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

For absolutely no reason, my insurance rates got up by 80% at renewal with TD Meloche Monnex. Have been a client with them for 25 years.
Changed to another Insurance for the same rate I had previously.
Not a great way to retain clients TD…

TD Insurance 10+ years no claims. Rear-ended in a leased car. Towed TD Shop 100CressLane. Adjuster emails authorization to sign from 'FIX Automotive' giving them sole authority to repair the car how they want. Can't sign without knowing what will be done. If the frame bent, I don't want a cheap fix. She says “no it's just your authorization to quote the repair”. Didn't I give authorization 2 days ago when you towed my car? The car gets appraised by independent, not FIX - not repairable! Glad I didn't sign away the repair. Loss Department contacts and tells me to call my car company for a buy-out. 'Isn’t that your job?’ I google the number + the professional answering the phone says – why are you calling, its usually the insurance company? I say TD, she laughs. TD Adjuster replies "yes I was going to call them too, just wanted you to be involved in the process". Really? I have a job and I’m busy. And extra stress from the accident

Customer service wait times are 1h or longer, and don't blame COVID, it's been like that as far as I remember (probably over 3 years). Every time I call I need something it's 1-1.5 wait on the phone.
Irresponsible management. I am starting to shop around for a different insurance company and will be telling all my friends to stay away from you!

They are quick to raise rates with no claims but impossible to get a hold of on the phone. Waiting in queue for an hour now.

Trying to get through is a nightmare. I did find a trick though, if you go online and go through the process to get an online quote, at the end there is an option to have someone call you. And it works every time. They call within seconds. Apparently new potential customers get quicker attention that their long time loyal customers!!!!!

After two decades with TD MM and without any tickets or claims, they raised my auto insurance by $1,000. They believed that there had been a mistake, explained that they would re-underwrite the policy and call me back within a week. Having not heard from them I called them twice without resolution (each time you call is approximately one hour of wait time on the phone. I re-priced the policy and found equivalent coverage for $1,000 less (the price of my previous policy with TD MM) and called to cancel my policy (as well as my homeowner's policy). TD MM wanted to charge a fee of $12 to cancel my $85 to cancel my homeowner's policy. So after 20 years of insurance coverage with TD MM, an unexplained increase of $1,000 to my auto policy, unfulfilled promises to return a call with an explanation, over four hours of waiting on the phone, they believe it appropriate to charge nearly $100 in fees to terminate uncompetitive policies. Surely, there are better alternatives to TD MM.

Absolutely atrocious customer service. A simple operation as changing address should be easy.

Unfortunately, I called 5 times, waiting 30+ minutes in queue each time and not getting my problem resolved. The first 2, their computer systems were down and the agent could not help me.

I tried again a week later. I reach an agent. He gets my name and policy numbers, takes my new address, puts me on hold. I get disconnected. I call back (30 min) and I get the SAME GUY. I say "I think we got disconnected" and he says "oh yeah" and then I have IMMEDIATELY disconnected again. I call a third time (30 min), get the SAME GUY A THIRD TIME, and as soon as he hears my voice I'm disconnected. He never calls or emails back.

So I send an online request explaining the situation and asking to cancel. Usually, when you do this, someone calls you to try to keep your business. But no, they don't even care that you want out; at least they cancelled my policy on the first attempt. Stay away.

I've been with TD for 20 years but enough was enough. Ridiculous wait times for everything, add-ons that were not explained or disclosed, excuses, late renewal packages (2 days before due), rude service, and rising rates that are no longer the cheapest. Good riddance!

Called to change my policy to new vehicle, waited 45 min on hold, talked to the rep for 15 min and got disconnected and he didn't even call me back even though he confirmed my callback number at the beginning of the call. Customer service 0.

More than half an hour, still no answer. It seems 2020 problems are not gone! I will wait and wait... until I talk to someone and cancel everything. We've been with them for more than 10 years, and it took 5 minutes to decide to change. Buying Meloche for what, losing customers? Wrong move TD...
