Worst company to get insurance with. I updated my credit card for both property and auto monthly deduction, they updated it for property but never updated for auto and kept charging the previous card and then cancelled my policy on payment after hours-long multiple calls, transfer from department to another and waiting on hold for hours. They asked me to pay the backlog once, which I did. Still, they never reinstated my policy and offered me a new one with double rate ..and still, my history is scarred by CANCELLATION DUE TO NON-PAYMENT which was actually CANCELLATION DUE TO NON-CHARGING but they don’t hold any responsibility for their lack of update on my provided account. Very improper and unprofessional .. I guess they don’t care about customers at all, all they think about is money-making ...worst experience
So Aviva cancelled my home insurance because they wouldn't insure a home with a business, then a few months later when I wanted to cancel my auto insurance, they charged me a $200 fee! So they cancel on me, and I have to pay a fee to get out of the contract? Crooks!
I have been insured with Aviva for about 3 years now. I have had no problems at all with them and the price has been very good. I have my home, vehicle and 2 ATV's insured with them.
I have been fortunate that I never needed to claim with them. But reaching anyone takes forever. It took me THREE days to get a hold of someone in customer service. I was on hold for one hour one day, another hour another day and then finally decided to call them the second that they opened and finally got someone in about ten minutes. And since they close at 500 on the dot and no weekend hours, it makes it difficult for those of us who work hard for a living to deal with this during business hours. How about putting some people on a late shift, early shift, put more people on the phone? How about putting your customers' interests a bit more in the forefront? In fairness, the girl who answered the phone was polite and answered all my questions. I did not give her grief because, in the end, the unacceptable state of operations is not her fault. Several years ago, I had lost my job and my wife was battling cancer and for the first time in 34 years of driving and insurance, I had my insurance payment bounce. Yes, it was my fault. And I begged them for help. Begged them. And they screwed me over big time. I had no choice but to pay the increased premium as they were almost treating me like a new policy, and it would have been no better to move elsewhere and I did not have the time to spend on it. Well, that blemish has disappeared off of my insurance history and I am moving on to much much better and saving about $2,500 between my house, my car and my wife's car while maintaining almost the exact same coverage. I am taking away from them a pretty good pair of safe drivers who have not had a claim for either of them in more than ten years. I don't have anything good to say about them at all.
I have recently stopped using Aviva due to the horrible customer service I have experienced using them; I had been with Aviva for about 5 years since I started driving. I didn't know until recently but they had been charging me Almost $100.00 more each month than any other insurance company I got a quote from.
In the last 2 years they have made numerous errors with my auto policy that resulted in me over paying on multiple occasions.
When I joined my home policy with my auto I was supposed to get a discount and received verbal and written confirmation that it was set up, only to find out that they didn't do it months later.
Although they eventually paid back the difference it took months to wait for them to give it back and I had to call them and leave numerous messages with no answer or reply.
It would appear that none of their brokers are competent in being able to manage their clients information and communicate with their coworkers about updates to their policies. I have had different brokers contact me stating that my information is out of date or incorrect when I had provided it correctly and have records of the conversations via email. This has happened many times. Their organization and care in dealing with clients is a joke from what I have experienced.
When preparing to leave Aviva my broker began to bad talk other insurance providers and warned that they will just rip me off and that their services suck. she essentially was trying to scare me into staying.
Based on my experience with this insurance provider and their team of brokers I highly recommend to NEVER insure anything with AVIVA. It is not worth the frustration, you will overpay for bad service and you will NOT be taken care of by careful and competent professionals.
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.
Have my motorhome policy through Aviva. Had some damage to one of the slides and the claim is still trying to be resolved. Their customer service sucks, I have had to keep calling and emailing them and they never get back to you. I had to call and complain to the claims manager in order to have something done for me, which I feel is totally unnecessary when submitting a claim. I have my homeowners, boat and vehicles insured through them as well and I have requested that my insurance broker rewrite these policies with a different company. My concern is what if my house burnt down and I received this same service from them, it's stressful enough to have to go through this, you don't want to have to deal with someone's laziness to do their job at the same time.
I very highly discourage anyone from going with Aviva for insurance. They will give you the run around if you ever have a claim regardless if you're at fault or not. I'm 2 weeks into my not-at-fault accident and they won't even start the claim until I speak to an adjuster, yet he won't respond to my 3 voicemails and email and when I talk to another adjuster after being on hold for 52 minutes every time I call, they change their story. I have 2 house policies and a vehicle with them and they are zero help. As soon as this is taken care of, I'm cancelling all policies with them and will never use them again. Be very aware and do your research on companies before jumping into any agreements with any company. All they want is a paycheck with no service.
