Student unions/Associations- tell all your colleagues about the disappearance of the student discount Aviva. It will be a real shock to your system & definitely to your cash flow.

Auto Insurance

by EugeneAM on Aug 2, 2019
3.5 out of 5 stars

I had Aviva as an auto insurer for close to two years. I was able to change my insurance policy twice, easily, with prompt help from Aviva. First time I was to add my husband as a second driver, meaning I had to cancel the earlier agreement which was done fast and smooth without any complications. I later moved from Ontario to Quebec, and I let Aviva know of the change in residence. They were fully supportive in helping me end their insurance and refunded the pre-paid cash without any fuss. Although some of the emails went unanswered, a follow-up call would always get the issue fixed, and a confirmation email sent. I would recommend you to sign up with Aviva without any worries!

Aviva is the WRONG choice

by Jim on Aug 1, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I returned from vacation to find a notice in the mail that Aviva wants a full year worth of payment's all at once or they'll cancel my policy. NO prior warnings, NO e-mails, NO texts yes folks, snail mail 3-4 days lost already. Even if I was home to view the notice two weeks ago, isn't enough time to come up with thousands of dollars. I tried to call but the call center is closed at 7 pm. When I finally got a hold of someone, they said they have all my contact info but didn't use it. Even if I could hand over $5000.00 immediately they would take 2 weeks to review a new policy and I would be without insurance until then. I had no choice and signed with another company and when I told them, after 9 years, I had to move on they said "No Problem" "Its cancelled goodbye"!

Cancellation notice

by Scollier on Jul 30, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

Thank you RBC and Aviva Insurance... after 28 years with RBC Insurance and now Aviva they cancel our insurance because my 24-year-old son was driving 140 in a 100 zone on a 400 series highway....yup, going way too fast for sure. He is 24 and his only ticket, no tickets or accidents for my wife and me or accidents. I estimate over 28 years we have paid over $236,000 in premiums for our life insurance, home, rental properties and auto without a single claim....currently we pay a tad over $1,000 per month in premiums with Aviva for all of our business....absolutely blown away that for one mistake over 28 years, we are dropped at renewal date. Isn't insurance for when you make a mistake or have a claim? After speaking with RBC, the operator said " thank you for calling RBC and we value your business " lol, they simply do not care about relationships...oh well, I am sure another provider will value having our auto, life, home and rental property policies...

Goodbye Aviva!

Got my renewal notice from Aviva, and all of a sudden they're asking for the FULL premium upfront. I DON'T THINK SO AVIVA... I am a long-time client, no claims, no tickets. And you've gone and lost my business with this boneheaded move. DO NOT sign up with Aviva. They'll drop something like this on you without warning, and you'll be left scrambling to make other arrangements if you can't come up with the coin in 45 days.

Claim Assistant

by Wicked White Lancer on Jul 7, 2019
4.5 out of 5 stars

I had an accident today and I called the Claims number on my policy. When my insurance Broker recently referred me to transferring my Auto insurance to Aviva, I was pretty leery. But today when I called the Claims number, I can honestly say, it was the best experience I ever had dealing with an insurance company. I was quite shaken and was beside myself. I had no idea where to find info that was needed. The adjuster spoke to me and calmed me down, she assisted me in finding most of the info she required, she told me exactly what would transpire, she calmed my fears about a rental car and gave me the number of rental companies in my area. This conversation with her was more like a phone call to a friend or family member. I did not at any time detect impatience in her voice. She was there to help me after a bad experience and she did so with grace and kindness. At this time I have no misgivings regarding my new insurance company, Aviva... Thank you so very very much!

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.

They will never pay.

It's been over one month since I was t-boned by someone running a red light. The other driver was charged and I was taken to the hospital. After that, received the police report that proves I was not at fault, they still say that I might be at fault and will not pay for my written off car. They are a SCAM. They are the most crooked insurance company on Earth. They care only about money and definitely not about people.

Scam

by Kevin Hedayat on Jun 18, 2019

Aviva has been changing my insurance for a vehicle which has been a total loss for 2 weeks. When I called and complained they said I had to call a different department to cancel the policy. This is a scam. By the way, she hung up on me.

Renewal form nightmare

by IS on Jun 13, 2019
2 out of 5 stars

Aviva sends out confusing renewal forms to current customers and if you make one mistake or mail it late they cancel your insurance. These forms are confusing and you are too include information that you might not know is pertinent. I had one late payment with CAA and that black mark has followed me. DO NOT do business with them! I have no accidents and no claims yet they cancelled my coverage. If your first language is not English then you are in a paperwork nightmare that could land you in hot water.

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.

WORST Service ever.

After receiving the most insulting letter to see if I "qualify" for my Auto Insurance after years and years of being a client, Home, Auto Mortgages, Investments, RSP's etc. Not a single late or missed payment. One hail damage claim only in ALL the years my family and I have been with Royal Bank, I along with many others get this extremely unprofessional and impersonal letter. I started March 1st trying to cancel my insurances, I have spent 5 phone calls for a total of over 4 hours on hold, I have gone to the Royal bank branch to try and get assistance spent 35 min in the branch, was given a 1800 phone number to the Insurance office, which we called from within the Royal Bank branch, we received a voice mail and was promised a phone call return within 45 min. It's now 7 days later! Then I was given a phone number to Royal Bank Insurance office on Jasper Ave Edmonton, which when called stated the number was "Out of Service" So once again I phone Royal Bank insurance, Back to sitting on hold. I FINALLY got through to a person! I asked to cancel my insurance, to be told there will be a cancellation fee since I did not do it prior to renewal even though they could see that I had started this process March 1st, it's now June! So I request a cancellation today I am told there will be a cancellation fee even though it was out of my control because I could not get through to cancel prior to renewal. I am so unbelievably disgusted at this point I don't care I will pay the 47.00 cancellation fee only to be told I have to go to a Royal bank Insurance" office" in order to pay it. The Royal Bank can not collect the fee unless I pay it by Visa. The Royal Bank cannot take it out of my Royal Bank account. I have to go to an insurance office on the other side of the city... If I don't pay it either on my visa or go to the Insurance office, then it goes to the collection, that's what I am told... After 40years with the Royal Bank, this is the service they provide! I am, however, benefiting in the end because I saved $1305.00 per year on my home and Auto Insurance. My Business accounts, my personal accounts, my family's accounts and investments will all be moving from this Financial Institution. My advice is to seek Your Insurance business elsewhere you will save a great deal of money and receive respectful customer service!
