Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

I started the insurance with RBC and become Aviva Canada
I was never involved in the accident or claim. I have received a letter from Aviva Canada for cancelling the auto insurance. I have called to find out the reason. They don't provide any reason and they said the system generated automatically!
I was told by friends that my kids approaching the age of 16 or my type 2 diabetic conditions may contribute to the risk for them.
More than 20 years of insurance with them. No help at all.

My previous insurer cancelled my policy for “non-payment” after failing to make the appropriate changes to my policy, causing payment NSF (I am still fighting to get this overturned). The best rate available was AVIVA. I signed up for a monthly policy and made my payments online BEFORE the due date to make sure no mistakes would happen again, as with the previous insurer. After 1 year with them, and ZERO LATE PAYMENTS, they are REFUSING me as a client UNLESS I pay the FULL 1 YEAR TERM IN ADVANCE!!!! Not tickets. No accidents. CZ license. 24 years of driving experience. They got every penny they were owed BEFORE it was due. And my reward is “Pay $2100 by September 5”, or take your business elsewhere. UNBELIEVABLE!

Have pain from a car accident, family doctor and all other parties recommend physiotherapy, yet they processed to send me to their doctors and prolong the inevitable process. I don’t find it fair how I pay monthly no questions asked and the one time something unfortunate actually happens they do everything in their power to save a penny at the customer's expense.

Absolutely horrible to deal with. The low rates aren’t worth the horrendous service. They take forever to reply to voicemails and emails.

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.
