Unlimited Aggravation

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.

Should I call a lawyer

Been with this company for over 5 years, clean driving record with no prior claims. Recently I was involved in a terrible accident that not only left me in severe pysical pain but also mental pain. According to witness (since i remember nothing) I was not at fault because the truck driver cut into my lane. I have been trying to reached claims ever since as I am in extreme agony but still nothing. I have left countless messages yet no results or even call back. I have been driving for 15 years & never had I miss work or been in such situation so I have no clue what steps need to be done. I am trying to be patient but my patience is running out. I have decided to used my own money for my therapy sessions, which includes mental & physical. What are my next steps? I am not asking for much but this insurance company seems to have no interest in my well being or getting anything settled. By the way my car was a total write off and still no settlement had been agreed.

deny coverage

by ahmed on Mar 5, 2017

One of the top biggest scam company on the universe, worst customer service by hiring also crocks agents to investigations. No trust in customers whatsoever. Insurance companies are supposed to treat policy holders with utmost good faith but them they have utmost bad faith. Just briefly, I have a damaged boat that is covered under any type of collision and they spent over 6 months to tell me that I didn't have insurance coverage because i didn't provide an appraisal for my boat at the time when I insured it. My broker said to me that since your boat is not older than 20 years, so that they shouldn't have asked for one. I know that they are playing me those crooks. The comments on this website and other web pages appear to be real experience of innocent people like me and you. I won't stop watch this happening to my boat which is worth over $30,000 dollar and I'm going to sue this company. They deny coverage to almost anyone they want to and they hope that they get away with it. I encourage anyone who has a problem like me to hire a paralegal for less cost and FIGHT them. Don't leave them alone because this company should really close down and not to operate anymore because it doesn't serve the consumers fairly. I paid them insurance premiums for 5 months and at the end they just returned all the premium saying I didn't have coverage, seriously!!!!

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.

Great experience.

I got into an accident on July 06 2015. The first thing I did was called the cops, second was call my insurance company which is Aviva. After I made that second call you better believe it I was treated like a 1 year old baby. My agent, instructed me in terms of what to do, sent a tow truck to pick up my car from the parking lot and tow it to the collision reporting centre, sent a driver to pick me up so I can pick a rental car, I had an awesome experience. My agent was outstanding and her name is Susan F., very nice person at heart and at getting things done the right way. I was not as it fault by the way.. Aviva paid me off for my car and the sum that they paid me was more than I was expecting! Today I'm driving a Infiniti G35! Still with Aviva and don't think I'll ever switch! Thank you.

Satisfied

by Cinder on Jun 2, 2015
4 out of 5 stars

There are a lot of negative reviews on here so I wanted to share mine. I was hit by another driver who ran a red light and my car was totaled. I only had the car for 4 months and Aviva had been my insurance company for less than a month at the time of the accident. I was concerned I would not receive a fair settlement because of this, but I have to say that my experience in dealing with Aviva was quite positive. My insurance adjuster was very helpful and always returned phone calls. I did have to follow up a few times to see how my claim was progressing, but in the end I was satisfied with the settlement price they offered. I will continue to use Aviva as my insurance company.

Great Procedure

by Hound on Mar 6, 2015
5 out of 5 stars

Not sure why all the bad comments on here.
I had a great experience with a hit and run. No problem getting coverage or a rental. the process was quick and painless.
I have even checked elsewhere and Aviva still the way to go.
Not going to be leaving them anytime soon.

Never had a problem

by Harold on Feb 25, 2015
4.5 out of 5 stars

I have had two claims on Aviva and have been very pleased with their service. Both were auto accidents and I was deemed " not at fault " one vehicle was a write-off, and they paid out quickly and at a very fair price. The second was about $4000. damage, and they dealt with it quickly. The adjusters have all been professional, courteous, and understanding. My experiences have been very positive ,pleasant , and totally without stress. I would recommend them any day of the week.

More than happy after 3 years

by Family Guy on Feb 18, 2015
4.5 out of 5 stars

I really don't know where all these bad reviews are coming from. We've had Aviva home and auto coverage for three years now and they are way better than anything else out there. We had one small auto claim last year and everything went smoothly. The price on the home and auto is much better than TD (who we were with before on their special "group plan"). We won't be changing anytime soon.

My Claim Experience

by Dee on Dec 30, 2014
4.5 out of 5 stars

the beginning of my claim was a bit rocky and stressful I must admit. First off the adjuster I had in the beginning did not help whatsoever playing phone tag and was actually quite rude. After speaking to adjuster after adjuster, I finally got the right information, which was to basically I wasn't at fault during the incident. But based on the fact that I was not involved in the accident seemed to complicate things a lot that caused unnecessary stress. In the end all they asked for was a few documents I needed to obtain and then pass on to them. After that the process was quicker than I thought, the remedy I was offered was quite outstanding as I did not expect it. Usually from what I know there's a bargain process but to my surprise I didn't have to. So therefore Ive had a positive experience with Aviva. I'd like to personally thank Diane Clark for her excellent customer service and professionalism.

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.

Auto and Home - Very Happy

by Calgary Purchaser on Dec 22, 2014

I have had auto & home insurance with Aviva for a couple of years now and their prices and customer service are far better than any of my prior insurance carriers. I have found several of my neighbours are also insured with Aviva and they are all equally happy.
