Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

This company is the worst company I have ever experienced they really harassed me with my auto claim. First of all, they took a whole month to just take my claim on top of it they lied to me they said your car since it has high mileage it will be written off, but they took another month just to find out if they should write it off or repair it. My car was totally totaled from the front end also all the wiring harness and fuse box were burnout but instead of sanding it to salvage they repaid a salvage vehicle and made it active. At first, they told me the repairs will cost me $4000 I ended up paying $10500, this is one of the worst companies to deal with! Please, find a better company. Aviva is a liar and thief when comes to an auto insurance claim.

My car was damaged for almost two months now and even after I complained about their cheap approach and ridiculously slow processing time! Yet my car is still not fixed! They let me hunt high and dry. Shame. Run from this company! No stars from me but the form makes me allocate a star shame.

I was with Aviva for 2 years and it was all smooth sailing till another driver hit my car and I had to file a claim. It turns out all the negative reviews I saw here when I was deciding whether to sign up are true. Good luck getting an insurance adjuster to contact you, it’s been 4 days and I have heard absolutely nothing from them, meanwhile the appointment they booked me at the body shop is in one day. They have stringent business hours, so if you don’t have time in your workday to call them and beg them to do their job, you’re out of luck like I am now. The useless insurance company will be switching my insurance away once my contract is up in a couple of months.

These people are incompetent to the highest degree. I have had two small claims with them and both experiences were a nightmare. They shuffle paperwork and say that paper hasn't been submitted when it has. On my first claim, I had to submit 3 times. No one knows what is going on and they are sleeping on the job. My second claim was done through Fleetworks who were quick, efficient and friendly. Completed the repair and 3.5 months later Intact phones me to ask if I paid my deductible. Paper shufflers that don't want to pay their vendors.
I pity anyone that has a huge claim, it would be so stressful going through them.
Find someone else, look at the reviews, obviously, they can't handle the jobs.

They are very very bad at customer satisfaction and service even Aviva takes too long to approve the claim and then they gonna make you call again and again and again for claim the answer you will get is “we are looking into your file“. Even if someone got into a small crash or accident they investigate your claim like you did any serious crime... So, in The end, I am gonna suggest everyone to not insure with this company.

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.

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!

Terrible experience. I called the first time (2 weeks ago) and was told the other guy's insurance was the only one I needed to contact since his insurance was going to pay for my damages... Now they tell me that I need to go through my insurance and they will contact his insurance... Called again and the customer service is brutal... It took 2 hours being on hold and then the call drops and get no callback. Every number they give me to call back makes me go through the options and put on hold for a minimum of 20 minutes every time. My car was damaged and the other person's insurance company was going to cover it. I don't know why it is so difficult to get this taken care of. I had my policy number, the other guy's policy number, a quote for a new glass... everything. All information was available and nothing is being taken care of. Why am I paying when I have to do all the work?

My husband was in an accident with an illegally parked vehicle with no markings and it totalled our vehicle and my husband is the superman so he crawled away and Aviva said he was at fault under the FDR sec170.1 but I did more research and found sec170.2 and he is not at fault but they wouldn’t budge so took it to the ombudsman and he pretty much said prove it... So we got the officer to write something and he did kinda (joke) that wasn’t good enough so we posted online and a witness came forward and that wasn’t good enough then we found out there is a second page to the accident report that shows the t/p over the white line parked and that still wasn’t good enough. I wish I could find a lawyer to make an example out of Aviva, RBC and the OPP!!! I would give them all the money they got and only take enough to buy another vehicle that’s how much I hate them! If my son and I were in the vehicle we would be dead! Ongoing since December 17-2019 and they are the most expensive! I would not recommend ever!

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...
