RBC Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Contacted for a quote. My current insurance is $230 - dropping to $220 with my current provider. 2 days of back and forth on the phone, excessive hold times and 2 hour late callbacks to be told this:
Quote - $154 a month (great!)
Actual - $163 a month (okay - but better than $220)
Attempt to purchase - Epic Fail they needed 3-4 weeks processing for an application and my policy is up in 3 days so I would have to not drive (not an option) for 3-4 weeks? Whatever happened to due diligence?

Please just don't DO NOT choose RBC insurance for your car! They're just keep telling me your application is under review and we will call you back! And it's been one month that I've been waiting and nobody called me! The dealership just cancelled the contract because I couldn't pick p the car after one month! And I lost the great deal that I had on that car! Only because of this damn, useless Insurance company.

Complete joke of an experience trying to get auto coverage!
Already had tenants insurance with RBC, put all info in online, called and made to give all information a second time, then emailed a non-fillable form (fillable version available from a government site, but they did not mention this) to put all information in again, and told that it would take 20 days. Pathetic, switching insurance providers tomorrow.

I was told that a first-time auto insurance application takes between 2-4 weeks which is ridiculous in a competitive market like auto insurance. Even if you have had other home insurance policies with RBC for the last 10-15 years it does not matter. I checked in after 2 weeks to see if there were any updates and I was told that it could take 20 business days - which is a month since I applied. I was hoping to stay with one company for all my insurance policies but after such a bad experience I am looking to transfer all of my policies over to another insurer who can give you the insurance within a couple of hours. It is really unfortunate that my experience with RBC insurance is making me question other accounts I have with RBC for other services.

I’ve been trying to get insurance with RBC for 2 months now and all they do is waste your time. I’ve had to send in applications 3 times now and they keep coming back saying I have to wait another almost 4 weeks just for them to review it. And a few of them who I’ve spoken to are very rude and just say they cannot help me. I am very frustrated with them and have got absolutely nowhere with them.

We wasted a lot of time going back and forth with RBC about our camping trailer, only to learn 6 hours in that our trailer was too old to insure! Umm, you could have told us that in the first 15 minutes.

Extremely disappointed with RBC auto insurance. Wait times were extremely high and spoke with two representatives with poor communication and very misleading. After an abundance of time spent and quotation was reviewed by both representatives, the final quote had increased by double in cost. I caution anybody who is considering RBC as your auto insurance option.

I’ve been on hold with RBC on Friday for over 2 hours. I went until their offices closed. Ridiculous. With Monday a holiday, I took Tuesday off work to get my insurance to straighten away...home and auto. I called as soon as their offices opened... 9:30 am NL time. I am still on hold. Almost 3 hours and still nothing. I cancelled my insurance with the company I was with them for years so I and my girlfriend could be on the same auto insurance and also home insurance as we purchased a new home. Not sure where this will get me but I just want people to know that this is what I’m going through since Friday. I don’t understand how I don’t have an agent yet as I called when offices just opened this morning. They also told me that I can do this online which is false. We tried that and we got rejected because apparently it can’t be done if you are a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador. I’m beginning to think that this was a bad idea as right now I can’t drive because my insurance with my previous company has been cancelled. Thanks, RBC.
