Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

I am an optimist, when I saw the bad reviews that did not deter me from using Aviva as I often think that it won’t happen to me. I have now had two claims with Aviva, the first one was minor and not a bad experience. The second was terrible, in both cases we were the victims. My main issue with Aviva is two fold: 1. The communication is terrible through the claims experience
2. There is no customer service, and there is no attempt to offer even mediocre service. A small gesture can go a long way, Aviva doesn’t appear to know that.

The agent I talked to was very rude and disrespectful. If I can give negative stars I'd give this piece of trash company -10.

The customer service is VERY BAD! Some representatives are rude and disrespectful. If I could give Aviva's customer service a rating of zero stars instead of one star, I would. I will never attempt to do business with them!

Avoid avoid avoid! I used PC insurance and somehow the broker signed me up on Aviva. From day 1, it was one issue after another. From them missing my banking details (I set up auto-deposit) which I don't even know how it became possible since I provided a void check so no payment was withdrawn the first month. When someone called me she tried to patronize me claiming how they are going to be waving aside the NFS charge for me which I instantly reminded her that it can't be my fault when they had a void check and still managed to miss a number, this led to them rating my payment again and it went up from 254 to 274 and them billing me for 3 months claiming I needed to pay in advance. I should have cancelled the damned thing at that point. Upgrades my car 5 months down the line, called to get a quote and got a ridiculous amount in the $700 so I asked for it to be cancelled. The agent told me I'd either get a refund check or instructions on how to pay if I'm found owing, I figured I was going to get a refund since I paid in advance of one month and still had some days left in the month from my last payment. But nope, instead, I got a mail telling me they will be billing $266 directly from my bank. I wondered why that amount and why instead of getting their banking details as the agent claimed I was going to be billed directly. I called and spoke to an agent who claimed they'd review and get back to me within 2 days. I never heard from any agent no Aviva till they took my money some days ago. Please avoid this company, either their agents aren't knowledgeable or they outrightly lie to meet their sales target. They don't care about their customers and are only interested in taking and taking from you.

Very bad customer service. I have 3 insurance from this company and I'm cancelling all policies only for bad customer service.

I have been with Aviva for 5+ years and I have had no tickets with only 1 not at fault accident 3 years ago. Our family was going through a really rough time last year and three of my payments bounced, but I always called back the next day to pay. Because this happened 3 times throughout the year (always paid the next day) they cancelled my policy through the mail. When asked if I could just pay the remaining all upfront they said no, you need to find another company. I’m left with now paying double for my insurance at another company. The way I was talked to and treated I felt very inhuman, not cared for or understood. They treat you like a number, not a human who may be going through a difficult time. Very disappointing.
