Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

We are retired. No accidents. No tickets. Have been customers of RBC Insurance and (now Aviva) for the past 35 years. We live in a low-risk community and drive a Hyundai and a Ford. How can they possibly justify an increase of both our auto and home insurance by 39%?! We hate change but NO WAY we will be assaulted by this corporate greed. Shop around folks.

This company is absolutely awful. They are the first company that I used for my car insurance and when they were under RBC, they were great but the minute they switched to Aviva, they were absolutely horrible. They more than tripled my policy amount over two years then suddenly cancelled my entire policy without a word. Not even one claim or at-fault accident on my file. They are absolutely disgusting and the worst. I hate this company.

I just got a registered letter from Aviva stating I had to submit a "WRITTEN APPLICATION FOR REVIEW AND ACCEPTANCE". Without this form, my policy would not be renewed. Also, FULL PAYMENT must be made if accepted. I spoke to an agent 2 weeks prior to receiving this notice and there was no mention of this ridiculousness. He updated my existing insurance with my new details and I got my pink slip in the mail. Today, I called them again to find out why I was getting such a letter and the rep. indicated that I was picked randomly and this is a NEW LAW in ALBERTA - which I think he said to get me off the phone #fakenews. I will be filing a complaint and will start looking elsewhere for auto insurance. I have a clean driving recording & have been driving for 15 years. This does not add up - they are up to something.

Do yourself a big favour and avoid Aviva at all costs. Unacceptable customer service, insane wait times to speak to advisors. Some we have documented 78 minutes wait time to speak to an advisor. Insulting and actually disgusting how we were treated, even got hung up on a few times. Yes, they actually hung up and said: we are now closed, goodbye. Really the worst experience with an insurance provider ever. They just make up the rules as they go. You have been warned folks, the reviews are true. Simply do not even try!!!

THEN my wife's 2004 Chevy Tahoe was stolen and we were treated like criminals. They stated that the vehicle's ignition wasn't compromised the usual way that their appraiser is used to seeing. Not my problem. We were treated as suspects and were victimized worse by Aviva. They even had the nerve to ask for bank records, income tax files, even phone records couldn't believe it. We ended up settling for way below replacement value after 7 months of going back and forth. They make 1 offer and if you don't like it, too bad. We got $4100 to replace our Tahoe and had to spend $7500 to obtain a comparable vehicle. Really the worst experience with an insurance provider ever. They just make up the rules as they go. You have been warned folks, the reviews are true.

They kept me waiting 52 min but no response. I was very much disappointed. Will never use Aviva service.

Worst customer experience I have ever had. Voicemails and emails went unanswered for weeks at a time. As soon as I am up for renewal, I am willing to pay another company more so it doesn’t go into the pockets of Aviva!

Disgusted by this company. They must be purging good safe drivers. 5 pages of info they already have.

I was in an accident in December 2018. An accident that was NOT my fault. I was seriously injured and still have not returned to work and will be unable to return to my health care aide position for some time due to an arm injury leaving me unable to do any heavy lifting moving etc. Aviva has given me the biggest runaround to college disability and I still have not received any money to this day (February 14/19). Every time I contact them, I wait a week for a response where I get another excuse as to what I need to fix etc. I have asked questions to try to complete stuff once with no mistakes. I am then sent back for this or that or told they did not receive items even when I can clearly see the mail was delivered. Do not use this company because if you are ever in need of their support for an accident you did not cause, they will screw you and leave you to either work when you're unable or be completely screwed on your financial responsibilities.

Over 30 years with Aviva. NO claims, NO accidents, never a payment missed. On renewal, premium increased by $600.00 for no cause at all. Left for a better Co. Wish them well.
