RBC mistrust!

by RBC insurance is bad on Nov 20, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

Sunny U. and Rabia S. treat RBC clients as if they are criminals

I wanted to remove a household from the policy as that person is out of the country, the advisor said the person should be on the policy, after explaining to the advisor that the person is abroad and might not be back within 6 months, he goes like :" Your insurance went up by 500 dollars for removing that person", He refused to add that person back to the policy, and said :" why would we?" in a mean condescending way.

I decided to speak to another agent, Rabia S., she said that we will send you a form to sign, and just letting you know that this form is a legal document as there has been misrepresentation of information. I asked :" what info has been misrepresented? no one can predict the future, I can't give RBC an answer when that household number is coming back!! maybe tomorrow, maybe a year from now.. Rabia S. goes like :" Ten minutes ago, you told the other agent that the person won't be back for 6 months, now you changed your mind"
Well, first of all, its not her job to interrogate me, these ten minutes is what it takes for someone to call and ask the person" when do you think you are coming back".
Throughout the conversation, I was told that any household who is licensed has to be added to the auto policy, its by law!! This is a split of the regulation, the person can actually sign a paper saying that he/she will not be using the car at all. I was not told that by Sunny and Rabia.

I am basically shopping around for policies, I made 3 policies for three different vehicles, interestingly enough the first two vehicles had a household on them, the third vehicle they decided to remove the household!!!

RBC scammers

Quick to promise you the world should you file a claim and then take your money every month but should you file a claim, their adjusters will put up as many obstacles and not return calls so they don't have to pay you.

Had to file a not-at-fault claim for a month old car (driver thought the red was optional). The adjuster didn't seem to care at all and all subsequent calls were treated the same. When he went for an unannounced vacation, the file was not given to anyone and no one knew anything. Initially, they were unwilling to replace the car and provide the funds that would not cover the month old car. Took a stressful month of negotiations for them to finally cover the price for a replacement car (at which point they were getting antsy about me having to return the rental car depriving me of transportation).

Getting any form of lost wage and misc expense (child seat replacement) involved verbal battles as well. The various adjusters assigned to the different aspects of the claim will not return calls or pass the calls the someone else who has no clue what is going on. If you do get in touch with them, then they will try stonewalling in the hopes that you get too frustrated to continue with the claim.

They offered a good price for the coverage but given that it is pointless to pay for a service that will provide none when needed, I will pay the higher premium for one that does provide the service that I am paying for. RBC will not see a single dime from me again.

Had a accident with injuries and was told I was going to get a call in the next few days. After 1 week i had to call about the car and was not given the value. Second still no one called about the injury which is different for the car part. Still waiting!!! Look around i had State Farm and the service was there when you needed them..

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.

No Common Sense Whatsoever

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!

Scammers

I had an accident 2 days ago and it wasn't even my fault. Atique is handling my claim and he was so rude and threatened me to sign the releasing papers and he said if you will not sign it, he will ask me to pay to collision center. How can I sign my ownership without having settlement amount. If Atique can see this post so just letting you know that I will not sign any releasing untill RBC insurance will pay my all remaining balance to the Bank.

Don't choose them!

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.

They Don't Care

Informed me I had to add my daughter to my policy and double the cost of my policy. Not until the end of the conversation did they say I could sign a disclosure not to add her. I asked why they did not mention this at the start of the conversation reply was " we are not aloud to bring it up unless the customer does". Switched companies. Not happy with RBC at all.

Nothing negative to say

by Calgary driver on Apr 27, 2015
4 out of 5 stars

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.

The worst customer service!!

by C Blake on Apr 22, 2015

I had been insured with rbc for about a year and been a client on the financial side for 10 years.My payments were coming out monthly on my credit card. Through the advice of my financial advisor I changed my credit card. I did not think to update the rbc insurance and my financial advisor did not mention it either. I had an investment property insured with rbc insurance as well. For whatever reason, my address of my investment was what they had as my address on my car insurance as well. Because of none payment, they were going to cancel my insurance. Apparently they sent 2 registered letters which my tenant says never arrived. They did not pick up the phone and call me or send me an email, both of which they had. They said some rubbish about legislation but please tell me where legislation says that good customer service should not be followed. I was in an accident about my policy was cancelled and now I am having to deal with the other insurance company myself. They are incredible difficult to deal with as I am not sure that they other person has filed a report with their insurance company. DO NOT HAVE RBC AS AN AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY, it's not worth it!!

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.

Horrible Service and claims

by Look Elsewhere on Feb 27, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I've been with other insurance providers but RBC is simply the worst in every aspect. I had a claim where I had pictures to prove I was hit from behind and the truck driver had a video to show. I was lane switching in traffic and had plenty of space so I went over, it was in slow traffic. Part of my bumper was out trying to complete the change and a truck from like 3 car lengths away kept coming at me trying to go around me and scraped my car... I understand I'm at fault for being the lane switcher but the truck driver was completely aware I was lane switching. Also tried to flee the scene. I had all proof and they wouldn't even do a 50 50. Nothing to try and help their customer at all. Just after my pocket. The adjustor said he would look into it and it took over a month for him to get back to me as if he wasn't even looking into my evidence. Just dismissed my claim based on a book of the road rules without diving deeper into the situation. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone, not even someone I dislike.
