Just Getting a Quote was Awful

I recently moved to my new place and I updated my address and had my last name changed. I had to wait yesterday for almost 3 hours before someone can finally help me. I also changed the km as I am now working from home and I would not use my car for long drives anymore too! They gave me an additional $150 increase in my car insurance policy. THE WORST! I was expecting they would lower my car insurance so of course, I had to go look for someone else who can give me affordable car insurance! It really doesn't make sense.
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!
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 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.
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.
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!
So frustrating services! I can't get any help online. The car policy I paid for the whole year after 6 months they send a new bill demanding for a new increased payment.
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.
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...

Waited over 2 hours to talk to someone on the phone, then gave up and tried an online quote. From there a quote was emailed to me with no coverage details. Waited another 2 hours to talk to someone who requested that I enter all the details (4 drivers, 4 vehicles) because he couldn’t access the previous quote. All this to find them 30% more expensive than my existing insurer. Next time I will save myself the trouble and not even try Meloche.
