We recently had a car accident where thankfully no one was injured. However, our car was totalled. I cannot comment on previous negative reviews here but our experience with RBC Aviva insurance was nothing like those comments. As soon as we reported the accident to RBC Aviva they immediately arranged for a rental car. We were at our RV in Sundre and had no way to get to the nearest car rental agency which was in Olds (approximately 40 kms away). No problem, the insurance arranged for the car to be delivered to us at our RV. Within a week our car was assessed and written off. We received a call from our insurance adjustor Colleen who was firstly concerned that we had no injuries and then gave us an offer for our car which was very fair (to be honest we were prepared to have to argue as we had the impression that insurance would always try to lowball). We were very happy with the offer and accepted. We were told that we could keep the rental car for an additional week if necessary to give us time to replace our car. From day one speaking to Shannon to report the accident, to finalizing the incident with Colleen we were extremely impressed with the service and having been loyal RBC customers for many years, we will continue to be loyal RBC Aviva customers.
When I was almost killed in a multi car collision I cannot say enough good things about the way RBC handled my claim.
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.

First off I will say I have been through the wringer with this company! Everything from my policy getting cancelled because of an accident I wasn't even a driver or involved in that had happened 6 most prior for one and then 2 years later having a full-scale highway accident involving a death where I was found at 0% fault. Long story short for my claim involving the other driver who was at 100% fault and died on the scene they handed me over to their partner company to handle my coverages. This was a 3-month battle which ended with me hiring a private appraiser along with him finding a fraudulent appraisal made by this partner company and RBC Aviva backing it up but once the proof surfaced I ended up over $10k added to my claim which I would have never got if I didn't fight for it! Stay away and use a broker! I used a broker and they undercut RBC by $500/year on my auto and $1400 on my home.
