Very Disappointed

by DON'T get insurance here on Oct 22, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

We were with Aviva Insurance for about 2 years and then this past summer when my daughter had a car accident, and we had to deal with the insurance company for our claim it was not a good experience.
Until now, 3 months later they did not contact the witness who saw the accident my daughter had to verify her version of what happened. If they did they would have realized it was not her fault, instead up until now on her file it shows that she was at fault and so we had to pay more for our insurance.
As well I contacted them like 4-5 times to get a new quote for our other car that we had to buy so we could get the insurance set up to pick up the car (as we were without a car for about 2 weeks) but after being on hold for a total of about 5-6 hours and constantly being hung up on, we left them and went to another company for our new insurance. The list goes on about our unhappiness with this insurance company and we would NEVER go back to them.

Horrible experience!

My motor home was hit in April 2020. It is July 2020 and Aviva still cannot get it together with the other insurance provider. I provided a letter from the other insurance company saying it was their customer's 100 percent fault. Now Aviva wants me to see a notary at my cost to get documents signed. They have been awful to deal with. I am cancelling my insurance after 7 years and I have contacted a lawyer to all with Aviva. It’s taken up to much of my time for an accident that was not my fault!

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.

Worse experience of my life!

Aviva uses delay and escapes tactics to get out of paying you. They request a phenomenal amount of doctor's notes and Medical documentation. If you try to go it on your own then forget about it, they will make you feel crazy and dismiss you. You NEED a lawyer to back you up if you want them to treat you half fairly. Even then the lawyer's aid will have a hard time getting them to pick up the phone and even the lawyer will have troubles. They will wait the full 30 days to pay you OR present you with a request for FURTHER documentation and make you wait for another 30 days and THEN once you sent it in they will legally have another 30 days to acknowledge that they received the paperwork. Get a good lawyer if you want your entitled benefit money, whether you are a customer or a victim of one of their customers and you have no insurance.

2 claims now and both terrible

by Yipi on Apr 11, 2024

1st not my fault but took way too long to settle and was told outcome would come in a week. 3 months+ later. Now waiting on another claim and they cannot be found. Horrible service for the money spent. My brokers are doing the best they can, but this company is terrible, and I agree with the warning of others recommending going else where. Anywhere for that matter than Aviva. Take a chance with that dodgy company from India before trusting these folks. More or less at least some factors in play.

Aviva first claim

by Scott B on Apr 4, 2024
4.7 out of 5 stars

Had a positive experience calling Aviva after my car was declared a write-off. Staff did a great job replying to emails and keeping me updated. It did take a bit longer than expected, but I was provided a rental until the case was settled, with good rates. Overall, was very satisfied with their help and knowledge.

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.

DO NOT PURCHASE AVIVA CAR INSURANCE - THEY IGNORE CLAIMS

by Just a good guy getting bullied by Aviva on Mar 28, 2024
1 out of 5 stars

I have been disgusted by Aviva, there staff are ignorant and abusive and the simply fail to respond to claims in a reasonable time frame.
I had a vehcile accident on the 6th of October 2023, I filed a claim on the 20th of October 2023... it is now almost 6 months later on the 28th of March 2024 and the ignorant and incompentant staff will simple not respond to a request for an update.
I have send over 20 emails on an almost weekly basis and every single email is ignored.
These people are horrible, ignorant, rude and simply people who go about their lives punishing others and blaming others for their own unhappiness.
DO NOT PURCHASE AVIVA CAR INSURANCE - THEY IGNORE CLAIMS.

Was so worried based off the reviews!

My 2014 Honda Civic was rear ended and totalled. The claims process was quick, easy and satisfactory. I had only been with Aviva for a couple months, and the at fault party was not with Aviva which probably helped. My adjuster did go on a week vacation right after the accident which worried me but my car was able to be driven, it was the holidays and she did get back to me as soon as she got back. I was happy with the payout process, the rental process and the communication. They also refunded me for my car seats that were in the car at the time which was great. Overall very happy! Sorry to everyone else that has not had this experience though.
