Meloche Monnex (TD Insurance) Auto Insurance Reviews

I have had waits in excess of 1 hour 20 minutes both yesterday and today to get my calls answered. Their phone answering service provides no indication of how long the wait might be, and they do not do callbacks (it's difficult to understand why they can't provide a better answering service with the technology that's available today ...perhaps a lack of interest in serving their clients well?) Very disappointed that this is the type of service they are offering, and after many years of being with this company, I will be looking for an alternative source for our insurance on renewal.

When I first called them to get my insurance we barely waited anytime. I recently had a license change and want to update my insurance plan, I have called them three times in the last four days and the hold time in the total of those three calls has been 2 hours and 15 minutes, and I am currently still on hold. They must be experiencing crazy call volumes because I was on hold for an hour the other night with no answer... Ridiculous How much time should it really take for someone to update their insurance...?

TD Insurance is saving me approximately $40 a month from my previous insurance company. I said yes to using the TD driving app on my phone although I really don't want it. I read that it uses a lot of battery and is almost impossible to get a good driving record using the app. You have to call TD to register for this app and get the code. I almost never have a lot of time during the day to sit for over 30-40 min on hold. As of right now I have called 4 times this week and am over 3 hours on hold and counting. My current call is 42:04 on hold and still no answer. This is really frustrating because it is to get a code for an app that does not function properly but want the possibility of lower insurance.

I was with Meloche Monnex for 35 years without incident! I had a bad year after my father's death and wound up with 4 tickets. Meloche sent me a letter cancelling my insurance and only giving me a few days to make alternate arrangements. When I asked for an extension, they declined. After treating me so badly they had the audacity to ask me to return to them when my tickets cleared. I would not ever recommend this company to anybody and would never again use them myself. I had 2 vehicles insured plus my home insurance. I pulled all my insurance and went elsewhere. It turns out Meloche is not very honest. They claim to be cheap and I found much better deals elsewhere even with tickets.

TD insists on only using mail for communication, no matter the circumstance. They refuse to contact anyone for any reason using any form of communication other than mail. I had an issue with my mailing address and they sent about 12 letters, informing me that they were going to cancel my insurance due to a payment issue. Eventually, they cancelled it, without informing me by any method other than by mail (note that they had my email and phone number on file). I never received any of these notifications and was driving with invalid insurance for about 4 months because of this. Then, because I had an amount owing, they got their collection agency to contact me. They were able to contact me immediately, of course, since they tried any method other than mail. This is the only reason I found out my insurance had been cancelled. I paid them immediately. I have never had any issue with payment for any service in my life, except for with TD. If they had contacted me by phone or email, I would have been able to clear things up right away and would have taken measures to ensure this would never happen in the future. I tried to reinstate my insurance with them, but they would not grant me home insurance due to my previous non-payment, even though I had paid everything I owed in full. I went with another company, but they would not insure me until they had confirmation from TD that my account had been settled. So I went through the horribly long wait to speak with someone by phone, and after being put on hold multiple times, I was told they would send me confirmation the next day. I assumed this meant they would email it to me. However, when I checked with them two days later, it turned out they were mailing it to me. I spent about an hour trying to convince them to scan the document and email it to me or to just send me the original saved document, but of course, they refused. I cannot for the life of me understand what they have against alternate forms of communication. Why do they insist on doing everything with the oldest, slowest, most unreliable, and most expensive form of communication? To make a long story short, this company has the worst customer service of any company I have ever experienced, and will never contact you except by mail.

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?

Meloche Monnex is a great insurance provider, until you have a problem. Their customer service is incredibly weak and clearly does not value continued business with their customers. Shayne was the manager I dealt with from customer support and was not only completely unwilling to work with me to resolve a simple issue, but was quite rude in dealing with me.

It's a shame that Meloche Monnex does not have customer service agents who understand the value of continued business and only care to argue about why their policies do not allow them to keep their customers happy.

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.

Had one accident and insurer assumed me in the wrong withiout investigating
