Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

I am an optimist, when I saw the bad reviews that did not deter me from using Aviva as I often think that it won’t happen to me. I have now had two claims with Aviva, the first one was minor and not a bad experience. The second was terrible, in both cases we were the victims. My main issue with Aviva is two fold: 1. The communication is terrible through the claims experience
2. There is no customer service, and there is no attempt to offer even mediocre service. A small gesture can go a long way, Aviva doesn’t appear to know that.

She doesn't know how to communicate with you and at the end day. My case is still unsolved & she declared it so unfair. Thinking to reopen my case.

I was with Aviva for 3 years. Always paid on time and what they have done is terrible. I was hit by someone and they drive off the scene twice this happened to me and now a year later I try to get insurance for my car and they told me that I had 3 at-fault accidents they were not my fault it was hit and run! But they still put it as an at-fault accident on my record I can't even get insurance anymore! These people have absolutely violated my loyalty to them for 3 years please do not even come close to doing any business with Aviva. They're going to destroy your record forever I'm so upset and crying as I am typing this and hopefully someone will read this and stay far far away from Aviva!

Aviva car insurance is the absolute worst. I have had such a terrible experience with them. Their customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. No one is ever available to answer your questions, you get put on hold and moved from person to person. From their brokers to those handling claims, it's an all-around discouraging experience.

I wish there were a zero star to give. It's the worse Auto insurance and has poor customer service. They are quick to take money every month, about $700, and they only cover $3500 for treatment. Do not buy AVIVA auto insurance. The price does not match coverage and service.

My son had an accident in Detroit on his way to cross back to Windsor.
Aviva assigned the claim to a third-party company (Sedgwick).
The adjuster did nothing but stalled the process every chance he got.
The first Michigan repair estimate was saying total loss with cist of repairs approximately 17k USD.
The estimate was converted in Canada for 17k CAN (and repairable)!
After arguing with the adjusting company finally the car was brought to Canada and following the reinspection of an Aviva, the appraiser has deemed a total loss ( a month and a half after the accident).
The settlement offer was fair and my son accepted but when he called the insurance company ( RBC insurance/Aviva )
He was offered a quote of 445 per month up from 249 before the accident.
This is despite the fact my son was not at fault and moreover he had accident forgiveness in his policy.
Therefore he shopped around and switched insurance companies
we (my wife and I) will do the same next year at renewal and will move auto and home somewhere else from Aviva.
They are awful to deal with them! Long wait times on the phone mean the attitude of unprofessional agents etc...

Once you give them your payment information, they charge you for anything that you want & there is nobody to answer you, no contact# phone or person who can be reached easily or provide you with a satisfactory answer.
Their offices, which have no valuables, money or... is more restricted than even military nuclear weapon facilities.
After a dispute with Aviva for baselessly charging me around $1,700, we decided to settle the dispute with a payment of $1,059.65 by Aviva to me.
I received the cheque from Aviva (which was sent wrong address) & deposited it in my account.
Shortly after I noticed a "Payment Stopped" by Aviva has withdrawn the funds from my account shortly after deposit.
Upon checking with the bank it was confirmed that Aviva has instructed to stop the payment.

Extremely difficult to communicate. Kept on hold for very long waits. Did not return calls. Unable to leave a message. Communication is extremely poor.
Even the associated garage validates their poor rating.
I will definitely not recommend Aviva to anyone.

Aviva's insurance rate is terribly low and rightfully so. Customer service is very bad. Very difficult to contact an agent. The agent does not return the message. Communication between customer and agent is terribly difficult.
I strongly do not recommend Aviva Insurance company.
They used to be good a few years and I would have given them a 4-star rating but have slid down to 1 star as far as I’m concerned.

They are clearly not trained in customer service. I explained my situation to someone, but they couldn't help so they transferred me to someone else who answers me with "but who are you?? I don't even know who you are" after I gave the first person my policy number and name.
Giving attitude on the line, cutting me off when I speak. Transfers me to my broker which was transferred to home insurance instead of car insurance. Also, if your car is older than 3 years, too bad you get used or aftermarket parts, no OEM parts (which was never mentioned). They're also arguing about changing 1 tire to a different brand than the rest, instead of changing the front 2. The most half-assed company. I had a claim with them in 2018 and when I returned the car (it was a lease) I had to pay $1000 because the bumper wasn't aligned properly.
The least professional company I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. After my accident, a lot of people warned me about Aviva, and I will be switching company once my claim is done. After 10 years, good riddance. So disappointed.
