RBC is a joke

by anyonymous on Sep 19, 2014
1 out of 5 stars

I don't know how RBC insurance hasn't upset all their customers and sent them running for the hills. My boyfriend and I have been living together for 9 months. He had to make a hail claim with RBC and somehow ended up mentioning that we live together. The claims agent advised him that he add me to his insurance policy or they would not cover an accident if I was driving. A few weeks later he received a letter in the mail from RBC stating they had tried to call him and he had not returned their call. If he didn't call them back, they may cancel his insurance. He had not received a voicemail from them. He called them back and i t turns out they are going to cancel his insurance if he doesn't add me. They assure him it will cost nothing extra. Now they want my drivers license nhmber , insurance information, full driving history, vehicle information. That is ridiculous! I'm insured with TD and I have advised them I live with my boyfriend and they never put me through anything like this! Unfortunately my boyfriend is in the middle of a claim or he would be leaving RBC over this bullsjit!

lame excuse for denied claim

I was backing up a friends car, bumped into MY car, caused $2500 in damage. Rbc insurance said my friend's insurance should pay because it was his car. I was driving his car, it was MY FAULT but an accident. My insurance should pay not his. I have to pay out of my pocket. No way I'm going to get my friend's insurance to pay so HIS rates go up when it was totally my fault. I should have lied and said that I was clipped in a parking lot by a car that took off. They would've paid then. Rule #1 don't tell the truth!!

Increased premiums every year

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.

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.

One negative experience when getting a quote. The rep did not understand my request and made several calls to underwriting. Because of this underwriting quoted me too high and put the onus on me to fill out a new application to get my rate lowered. Really frustrating. Positive claim experience. Wrote off my 2 year old car. Found out I had a portion of my policy which allowed me to get the value of the car as if was new. Everyone was very transparent and easy to deal with every step of the way.

Bad service

I had insurance with Aviva RBC insurance and requested full coverage as I had a brand new car, which was being financed! So I got into an accident where my car had been written off. Aviva adjuster then told me they will not pay the full value of the loss as I had declined the extra option? I asked for proof that I declined it, a recording, anything, but they said they didn't have proof but my policy said I declined the R43 extra coverage. So I was left with a remaining balance of $8500 that I have to come up with somehow to pay off the remaining balance. This problem is still not resolved as all the signed documents required I sent via mail and they were lost, then I found out the adjuster was not with the company anymore and no one told me as I waited the past 2 weeks with no reply from that guy. So now I have to resubmit everything again but I do not have a copy of my registration, which I sent them as well. Beware, people, there are lots of other places to shop, here you are treated like you're the bad one if you get into an accident. Also, they told me they will no longer give me full insurance for my next vehicle, and cancelled my insurance before sending me a letter of cancellation !!! Very disappointed!!!

Terrible customer service

I parked my car and put it on suspended coverage. When I went to put it back on the road, they increased my rate. Said it was "pro-rated" for the rest of my term even though I ensured that my rates would not change when I changed my coverage. They refused to quote me for motorcycle coverage because I was not 30 even though I have a clean record and 4 years of constant coverage on my bike, but they will quote someone with two tickets who is 30. Terrible experience every time I call.

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.

Outrageous Price Increase

I moved from Alberta to Ontario and called RBC to transfer my auto insurance. They increased my premium almost $500 for the same coverage. When I asked why, they said it was because Ontario is just more expensive.
So I shopped around and found other insurance carriers that will give me the same coverage for around the same cost as what I was paying in Alberta. When I cancelled my RBC policy they charged me a cancellation fee equal to one month.

Insure a car twice? No thanks

Called RBC Insurance for a quote back in April, and was going to call back once we obtained ownership of the vehicle. Long story short, we did not end up taking ownership. The car is still owned and insured by the original owner.

Someone at RBC Insurance went ahead and STARTED our policy, with no authorization or consent. We are now out over $800, and they are threatening a cancellation fee + bad insurance record for a car we do not even own. We have provided them with the VIN history report as well as the current insurance papers for the car - still not able to fix this.

How is this even possible?! How can you insure a car that is already insured?! This is mindboggling

An overly detailed review.

Hello, I am a 19 year old and as of yesterday I was forced to remove my name that was under my premed policy. My parents have been with them for 10 or more years and as far as I could remember I've never heard my parents complaining much about them. Like my first car accident they were helpful and didn't give any problems to me but my second one... Horrible situation and still on going. Since my car was a write-off I had to buy a new car and add it into the policy, called em up had no problem adding it but I thought that the papers were said that my mom is the owner and I was a co signer or whatever, so I told Walter (the rep, he is a very nice person ) that it's under my moms name. I also requested them to send proof of insurance papers to the dealership and it was no problem. The next day I picked up my new car and I was so excited of course. My family and I all went to sign the papers but said that the insurance papers haven't come in so I of course called rbc and told them the situation. But this representative named "Gill" or something similar totally messed everything up. Because the adjuster (Daren or Darrel i forgot the name) was negligent to asking me what actually happened in the accident, he just put me at fault. Like the reasonable adjuster in this case would actually ask for a fully detailed explanation of the accident but since for the time being I received a ticket it's assumed my fault. Keep in mind no one said I was guilty, not even the police officer said I was at fault completely. So what gives you any authority to tell me that I'm fully at fault? Obviously insurance wise it's a yes or no thing but I'm still waiting on my court date in 2-3 months for the not guilty plead and it's a shoe-in for my ticket to be lifted from the situation it's been in. BASICALLY, what Gill did, was he put me as an independent client and made out premium go through the roof! We paid I'd say around 190/per month it's good price. He said because of the accident that I was not at fault at the premium would go to almost 600 dollars a month like hello sir, who is going to pay such an ungodly price for that ???? My family and I do not have high income, we are an average household who will no longer put up with such prices. He said it's either I pay that much or I remove my name completely off the policy. I just decided to take it off completely. So now my beautiful new car is sitting in my driveway, untouched since my dad drove it home. My dad is very mad and upset at this and we are for sure changing companies as soon as possible. Sorry for such a long review I just needed to get that off my check. Thanks
