RBC Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

My Insurance went up 65% after ONE 5km/h over ticket. I have been fully G licensed for 4 years and got my first speeding ticket, my insurance when from 305$ a month to 470$ a month, my cars didn't change and my address stayed the same, its just shameful how they jack your rates up so much after one minor offence, never coming back to rbc

I have a home and auto insurance with RBC Insurance, I started with insurance when I had a G2 license. At that time they said that once I get G license, I will get a discount on my premium but they refused to give any kind of discount when I updated them about my G license. Moreover one of my friends has the same kind of insurance with the same class of license, he got a discount and a further discount was given to him by the company when he called them to change his home address. It's very annoying to call and hold for more than an hour and still do not get your voice heard. I won't suggest anyone go with RBC Insurance.

My experience - I relocated from one city to the next thinking my son's father was going to be moving with me; this didn't end up happening though. However, RBC for some reason didn't "believe me". They wanted me to track down my son's father (who is abusive) and ask him for his driver's licence number. I asked to speak with a Manager; the same thing. If I didn't provide his licence number, my insurance would be cancelled? I am now with another insurer (AWESOME carrier) and they could not believe RBC treated a customer this way. I was told by this company that all that needed to do was to write a statement stating my son's father did not relocate to the new city with us (this is what the new company would have had me do). They are also really expensive with rates in comparison with other providers. Go with an insurance broker who will shop deals for you. NEVER go with a financial institution. Horrible experience. My deductible is now 1/2 of what RBC was giving me and I get lots of other bonuses as well. I had the bare minimum with RBC; when I switched to another insurance company, I was already down $30 per month!!! My plan was renewed this month, and it is down another $35.00!!!

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

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

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.

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! !!!

Long story short I was paying about 200 a month. On the highway I was hit from behind by a truck that was rolling forward and I was told it was my fault because I switched lanes and there was plenty of space... the truck had a video to prove the accident, he also stated he didn't see me and they closed my claim accident ND didn't bother asking for the info. Sketchy right? I started paying $602 with accident ND new company and after a year $540!!! Don't let this happen to you. The guy mysteriously went on vacation and said my file couldn't be opened to get the video surveillance. ... total screw job. Now Im stuck with almost triple the rate. They don't care about you at all. If I could vote negative 5 stars I would, they are also rude and treat you like you're a liar.

I had been with RBC for 7 or 8 years with no problem. Upon renewal my auto rates jumped about 30 %, no tickets, no claims, the only thing that changed was that both my two vehicles and I got a year older (me 65). I was told that if I replaced the older of the two my rates would go down a bit because the new one would have more safety features ???? Six months later I did just that...the rates were the same but they told me that I no longer qualified for the "Multi Vehicle" discount so my rates were actually going up some more. The reason, I was told, was that I was the only driver on both vehicles, each vehicle needs a principal driver for the discount to apply. I can only drive one vehicle at a time so they would actually be better off, but that makes no difference to them. What kind of complete nonsense is that!? I'm too old and impatient to deal with such incompetence and BS so I switched companies and saved over $1,000.00....and got my "Multi Vehicle" discount! Next time Kathleen Wynne decides to help us with auto insurance will someone please just stifle her!

The worst insurance company. They are the least helpful people and they only tell you about what is more expensive they don't want to give you good insurance or cheap insurance they just want your money and don't care about if you can afford it. They charge you a way to much and when you call to talk to them all the do is to try to get you off the phone as quickly as possible and they just try to tell you what you want to hear even if it's not true. Switched and was much happier without them.
