Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

I have been waiting for my insurance policy for 6 weeks! They keep saying it was sent but it never arrives, I've asked for an email copy of the full policy but for some reason, they are not sending it..... very sketchy. I will be cancelling the insurance as soon as I'm done writing this review.

Gives you a different dated policy May 24 2020 and May 24 2021 it already expired, I asked for the pink slip but the date is totally wrong, I want to get a hold of superior

Aviva and the other insurance companies they own have the highest insurance premiums in the country. Very hard to work with.

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.

In 2008 I had a very serious car accident. The OPP threatened the driver with a manslaughter charge (if I died), and the Doctor thought I would never walk again. That serious. I couldn't wash, or dress, and barely feed myself. They gave me less than $200/month for someone to help me with these things. When going from lawyer to lawyer asking for help, all of them said Aviva was the most difficult company in regards to claims. At the settlement conference I was attacked mercilessly, I still have nightmares about it, 12 years later. They sent a private investigator to follow me around, several days. They were simply horrible, it is worth paying for another insurer.

Just like the old saying, you get what you pay for. I chose Aviva 3 years ago because they had the best rate. (Actually, my broker did) I have since learned saving a few dollars is not always worth it. Aviva has terrible customer service. A while back my friend asked me if she could borrow my car for an hour to drop some stuff off at her mom's house for Easter. I said sure no problem. Unfortunately, she ended up getting in an accident (it wasn't her fault, another driver went through a red light). Called and reported it and started the claims process. Over the next few weeks, I kept getting calls from different people at Aviva asking the same questions over and over. I said I already gave you all the details and answered these questions can't you just refer to your notes instead of wasting my time? They said well the notes weren't made correctly and that was the reason for calling and asking again. 3 times apparently. Next thing I know my claim has been denied, for non-cooperation during the claims process. I couldn't believe it. It gets better. 3 weeks later I get a letter in the mail saying my insurance is cancelled for misrepresentation. I called to ask them to elaborate and they said we think you're friend was driving the car on a regular basis! Again, I was blown away. Completely ridiculous and couldn't be further from the truth. That friend had never used my car ever before that time, Aviva simply was pulling at strings finding any little loophole they could try to exploit to get out of having to pay the claim. The sad thing was the claim was only going to be around $2500 as the car was deemed a total loss and wasn't worth much due to its age. At 40 years old that was my first claim ever in my life! Perfectly clean driving record with no tickets, accidents or claims prior, my payments are always made every month without missing one ever and this is how I get treated, like a criminal. This is the most despicable company I've ever come across in my life. Stay far away, even if the other insurance quote is $10 more a month, it's worth it! It's not possible that you'll get any worse service from anyone else, it simply isn't possible.

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!

My Vehicle was hit 3 times in 4 years. The first time the driver stayed and all information were exchanged, he admitted FULL fault to me and the police. The second time the driver took off, the third time AVIVA refused to cover it (surprise) I had to pay for it. I was not in my vehicle any of the times it was hit by another driver making it NO FAULT of mine. Then a rock hit my windscreen and I had to have it replaced. This year in 2020 AVIVA sent me a letter cancelling my insurance due to "4 events in 4 years" now remember event one the driver stayed, event two the driver ran, event three AVIVA refused to pay, and event four was a rock. I have never had a ticket and have been driving for 20 years, also have NEVER had an AT FAULT accident. Also during event number two the hit and run where the driver fled, the garage that AVIVA insisted that I go to cause an additional 1400.00 in damages to my vehicle. I called their Ombudsperson who naturally sided with AVIVA and I had to pay to repair the 1400.00 in damages out of my own pocket. We had (I say "had" as I am in the process of cancelling) my vehicle, my wife's vehicle and my house insurance with AVIVA - Count yourself very lucky AVIVA that lawyers are so expensive and that you are simply not worth the headache because if I had the time and the energy I would sue them. You treat your customers like garbage. But boy do you guys like to make sure to collect your premiums. Sure like to break your contracts though. Dishonest, lying company.

Every month they deduct payment from account very fast no questions ask! But whenever you have claim it took ages! This is my last year for you guys...

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.
