RBC the worst Car Insurance

by Rolando Callanta on Apr 27, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

I have been with this insurance company for almost 4 yrs. This company really don't care if you are an avid customer with this company. When I trade in my car they reduce my insurance from 250 to 174 plus the Home insurance they offer me...Wow I say, it's good. The reason why they reduce my car insurance is that I have a good car with lots of security features. I almost love this company because from 250 goes down to 174 (with Home insurance). But now 2019, when they send me the renewal it goes to 275 for car insurance and 41 for Home Insurance...I say WHAT? Terrible experience and customer service are not good. They said that my MAZDA C-9 (Signature Model, which has almost all security features) is high risk. WHAT? And they're saying again that because parts are electronics they say it's expensive to repair. My goodness... RBC Insurance you are horrible and the worst Car Insurance I have ever had. You don't really care about all your previous customer. THE WORST CAR INSURANCE IN ONTARIO...RBC.

RBC Insurance

Said goodbye to my RBC home insurance yesterday after they made me jump through hoops to maintain my existing auto policy. I had paperwork into them before their deadline. I called to make sure everything was alright the next day. Two phone calls (mainly on hold) for 43 minutes and 55 minutes. The employee said I could reapply and they would see if I could get car insurance in a week. I asked for customer service and was told, they could start a form and someone would get back to me in a week or so. One week! Good luck! RBC getting new customers if this is how you treat your existing ones...to top it off they are returning 4$ of my 94$ monthly payment for insuring my home for one day! Stay away from these people if you ever think you should need to make a home or auto claim.

Fraudulent Charges on card

by syusuke on Feb 12, 2019
1.5 out of 5 stars

I called to cancel my home/auto insurance policy with RBC (now it's Aviva Gen Insurance) in Nov. The last payment was made in the previous month. The policy was set to expire in Dec. On Dec, Jan and Feb my card was still getting charged. For some reason, I had to check my card for something else and found out that Aviva was still charging my credit card. I called to ask them about it and was given the answer 'we did the cancellation but for 'some reason' the account is still active and that's why the card is still getting charged'. Don't make me laugh!! That was beyond ridiculous. I do not know if it's the employees who were not doing their job properly and couldn't really complete a Cancellation request or it's the company's greediness that makes them do anything just to make money off of its' clients. I will never go back to Aviva for insurance again. For those of you, please if you ever cancel a policy with them, make sure to check your transactions because what they're doing is fraud. Also, every year my insurance with them went up even though I have no tickets and claims. They want to increase my premium on auto alone by $120 per month, I asked them why since I have no tickets whatsoever, and I was told interest rates went up in my location. I've had enough.

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.

the run-around

I was with RBC insurance home and auto for over 10 years. The Aviva took over at the end of the year of 2018. My policies were coming due and everything went up by $1100. They cancelled loyalty discounts making me prove my car has auto braking systems. Well, guess what, you run the VIN number and everything is at your fingertips. So after I got a new insurance company, they wouldn't accept my new insurance company cancellation form, so they sent me a threatening letter. So two days later I decided to just pay the damn thing to get rid of this nonsense, so when I called back today, they would accept my payment but I HAD TO PROVE THE INSURANCE with the new company. Nothing like making your life difficult. Well, after arguing, I paid the bill and they accepted. They will do everything to make you give up. But always remember, before you call, have your conversation recorded on your end. Save yourself. Anyone looking for insurance: stay away, far away.

I see a pattern...

by Dawn Ellis on Jan 7, 2019

It seems that RBC/Aviva has decided they have too many customers and are undergoing a major purge. I received the form, had to call RBC to get the information to complete the form (so they wanted information they already had). Plus wait times to speak to someone are never less than 30 to 45 min. Sent by UPS due to mail strike - had to call to see if all was in order - told it wasn't (why didn't they let me know right away?). Did exactly as I was asked, but received 3 confusing letters within 2 days claiming I had not filled forms outright (missed 4 tiny boxes that didn't even affect policy and were not clear and were not mentioned when I spoke to someone the first time I was told it wasn't filled in correctly). I spoke to someone (after 45 min hold) who told me - the policy was cancelled as I missed the deadline. He assured me with a quote and receipt of the corrected form that all would be good. I picked up a registered letter that day stating my policy will not be renewed due to insufficient information. Have been trying to resolve, but if you aren't here when they call you, they don't seem to want to call you when you are available. Phoned another insurance company - in less than 1/2 a day, we will have new car/house insurance with no form to fill in. Seriously disgusted with treatment from RBC. I wonder if because of the AVIVA buyout RBC can no longer support their customer base and is using the form as a way to FIRE customers. It seems to be a trend here!

Extreme Wait Times Home/Auto

by jesse on Aug 21, 2018
1.5 out of 5 stars

Two days in a row I get disconnected from RBC Insurance toll-free line. Each day I waited over 2 hours. Still can't drive my new (used) autohome because I can't even get it insured because I'm still trying to add it, I'm on hold so I have time to write/vent the second Issue: Home Insurance with RBC, I had hail damage on my roof July 6, 2018. My shingles are damaged & today August 21, 2018, I'm still waiting for the adjuster/contractor to write his report to send to RBC. The adjuster they used from Home Depot was rude & could not call me as he was asked to do so I could attend his assessment. I'm still not sure if he did really make it to view my claim 2 months LATER!!! Disappointed all around, I may have water damage as my shingles now need full replacement & I don't know how to move forward because we have been waiting almost 2 months for an answer. Worse service I've had, ever. Auto & Home insurance with RBC is not worth the possible minor saving because they have the worst service. Go elsewhere, trust me

Nothing negative to say

We've been insured with RBC for 5 years now. We have never had a claim, but I did have a minor, my fault collision. They had a really helpful line that talked me through the benefits and consequences of filing a claim. It was cheaper in this case to give the other individual $500 cash and not have my premiums increase. They have been very helpful when changing vehicles/drivers and when I've called to clarify my coverage (which has always included what I was worried about). Today, I got my renewal package in the mail and our monthly premiums for home/auto will be going down by $80 a month! That's a 36% discount without having to shop around (I had, and our new rate is in line with the lowest quotes I've seen with less coverage.). Needless to say, I'm pretty happy. Oh also they reduced our deductibles. Just because. I can't really complain.
