Bad customer service

Note that if you want to change from the RBC to any other insurance company you have to pay a full month if you cancel before renewal date even if you are insured for more than 10 years with them simply they do not care

Insensitive Company!

by Christine on Apr 22, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I had RBC since 2013. I called in to change my address and at that time divulged that I was likely going to be living with a licensed driver. However, this never ended up happening due to severe relationship issues with my ex (abuse). I informed RBC that my ex never ended up moving or living with us, but it's like they didn't believe me. What ended up happening is that this company demanded (threatened) that I contact my abusive ex to get his drivers license number and insurance policy number or my insurance couldn't be renewed. I spoke with a Team Lead, and frankly, they didn't care. They gave me until May 1st to track down my ex or my insurance would be cancelled. How an insurance company can put a woman at risk, demanding contact with someone who threatens my health and safety is incomprehensible to me. At the end of my phone call with a Team Lead (Lativia), she had the nerve to say "Thank you for being with RBC for so long". There are so many other insurance companies out there who are more customer oriented. My advice? Stay far away from RBC. Most of their advisors are also fresh out of schooling, really inexperienced. Very dissatisfied with my overall experience with this company. I've since located a new company who has given me a cheaper deductible (half of what RBC charged me) and I'm also getting home & auto for $13.00 cheaper (per month) than my monthly RBC auto quote. RBC cancelled a client who has had no accidents, charges or claims in the three years I was with them. Way to go RBC! Thank you for your so called "incredible" customer service and "outstanding insurance"...what a joke! Thank you for potentially placing me into a threatening situation, all so u can write my exs info on my file notes.

collision not at fault

by super upset on Mar 25, 2016

So long story short. I've been with RBC Insurance for years now and the first collision I had ( not my fault, some one ran a stop sign and hit me dead on) they are playing games. The adjuster came and evaluated my vehicle. They evaluates using used and after market parts and this was only brought to my attention when the auto body shop guy told me. I called them up and apprently if your vehicle is driven over 22000km rbc will put aftermarket or used part in. I drive a new volkeswegan suv and have a lot of km but still I don't deserve aftermarket part. The estimate they provided was around $7300 but with original volkeswegan parts it's a little over $10,000. There telling me if I want original parts I will need to pay out of my pocket.
oh and this is recent incase you wondering. Like within 2 weeks.

This is by far the worst auto insurance company with the worst customer service.

DO NOT USE.. NOT RECOMMENDED! !!!

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.

had a not at fault accident, i was rear ended while i was stopped at a red light spoke to them first they said they would call me back in 1 hour , but I did not receive a call at all for a week, I called back and they kept giving me the run around its been 3 months with nothing called over 100 times left the adjuster voice-mails and they never called me back not even once everytime i call customer service and complain they tell me the adjuster is on vacation and they assign me a new one and tell me that they will call me back and it never happens my car has $6400 in storage fees and I have spent $3000 on rentals out of my own pocket because they are still telling me they are not sure if i am going to be covered and their investigation is taking forever . Avoid this company at all costs its not worth it no matter how cheap they are they are scammers and just take your money they dont help you when you need help they just take and dont give!

Not at fault and cancellation!

by dublinz on Jan 31, 2016

Yup - just like everyone else... No previous accidents. Paid into RBC for years and my first accident was being hit by a deer... My adjuster too, went on unannounced vacation, even though it didn't matter as he never called me once in over a month. Ill informed customer service cost me thousands out of pocket and then, they had the nerve to send a letter cancelling my insurance due to "material change in risk". Essentially, not only did they use their power to do as they wanted, they did a very serious "cancellation" action which pretty much guarantees you are marked for life when it comes to insurance quotes and coverage.

I would be scared to hear how they treat an at fault client! I gave one star ONLY because I had to. They deserve zero stars.

RBC mistrust!

by RBC insurance is bad on Nov 20, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

Sunny U. and Rabia S. treat RBC clients as if they are criminals

I wanted to remove a household from the policy as that person is out of the country, the advisor said the person should be on the policy, after explaining to the advisor that the person is abroad and might not be back within 6 months, he goes like :" Your insurance went up by 500 dollars for removing that person", He refused to add that person back to the policy, and said :" why would we?" in a mean condescending way.

I decided to speak to another agent, Rabia S., she said that we will send you a form to sign, and just letting you know that this form is a legal document as there has been misrepresentation of information. I asked :" what info has been misrepresented? no one can predict the future, I can't give RBC an answer when that household number is coming back!! maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now.. Rabia S. goes like :" Ten minutes ago, you told the other agent that the person won't be back for 6 months, now you changed your mind"
Well, first of all, its not her job to interrogate me, these ten minutes is what it takes for someone to call and ask the person" when do you think you are coming back".
Throughout the conversation, I was told that any household who is licensed has to be added to the auto policy, its by law!! This is a split of the regulation, the person can actually sign a paper saying that he/she will not be using the car at all. I was not told that by Sunny and Rabia.

I am basically shopping around for policies, I made 3 policies for three different vehicles, interestingly enough the first two vehicles had a household on them, the third vehicle they decided to remove the household!!!

Increased premiums every year

by RIPOFFRBC on Jun 4, 2014

Went with RBC as I heard people talk bout great experience on car claims. Ive never had one but have heard it can be a nightmare. Since I bank with RBC I though why not and got a quote. It was $100 a year more than other quotes but decided to go with it. Then year 2 it increased 10% a year and then year 3 went up another 15%. I could not believe this. Went and called a broker and saved $1200 a year. Bye Bye RBC I will never make that mistake again.

Please stay away !

The first time I enrolled with them, I got a better rate than what I had previously. In one year, they decided to increase my premium by 30% for no reason.
Once I sold the car, I had to pay cancellation fees and I was not reimbursed for last month which I paid in advance.
This is really pathetic!
Cheap, unprofessional company !

Pure scammers. Avoid.

by S Sohotra on Sep 2, 2020

As stated in the title, this scam of a company expects me to pay an extra $500+ because of a glitch in their system, which the person I was talking to straight-up admitted. Even after trying to reason with them for 20 minutes, they have the same answer: "too bad, fix our mistake with your money". I have cancelled my insurance and going with another company for now. Same rate and hopefully better service.

Awful

by Damdy on Feb 27, 2020
1 out of 5 stars

Refuse to stop billing me even though I haven't been insured with them in months. Everywhere from claims to just basic customer support was an awful and aggravating experience. When I made a claim someone had hit and run me (another person was caught minutes after) labelled it as my fault and closed the case without notifying me. Fighting the case is almost impossible they claim not to have an ombudsman. Even paying for repairs they refused to let me get my car repaired anywhere but a one particular body shop chain. They are known and have experienced them raising prices mid-term without notifying you. It is not uncommon to be misbilled, double-charged etc... and they will claim that nothing of the sort happened to have to fight tooth and nail to get your money back. They wanted a 3000$ cancellation fee. Wouldn't trust this company if my life depended on it I urge everyone to STAY AWAY FROM RBC/AVIVA INSURANCE!!
