SGI Auto Insurance Reviews

Tried to register a private vehicle purchased at auction, brought paid receipt in, the staff at SGI Swift Current never even looked at the invoice as the teller asked 3 questions that were directly stated on the invoice (1 is it paid for? How did you pay? Where is it?) then promptly told me that they can't help me and to bring the original invoice ( which I had brought in). They didn't look at the invoice, told me it needed a signature of the owner (me or the bank that repossessed it? No clarification). They just had no intention of doing work, the phone/fax number of the auction company was clearly written on the invoice if they needed confirmation. What a joke this company is, the staff has no clue, the managers less and they couldn't train a dog to sit. If my tax money went to that Nigerian prince who keeps emailing instead of SGI pensions, it would probably get more for your dollar, with just as much satisfaction. Tell me again how my heart should bleed over your unpaid ten days off.

SGI sask was the worst ever to deal with. I fought hard with SGI as originally they said if the car wasn't found, I wasn't covered. Why to pay for insurance then? My car that had been stolen, luckily week later was recovered, where SGI again claimed that I'd be responsible as there was damage to the car. I talked to my lawyer and as soon as mentioned that, they said we will cover it but you are liable for the deductible. I was so angry with SGI... I agreed on that...

I was driving at dusk in the foothills with my daughter and a group of elk came out of the ditch, ran across the road and one ran into the side of my new truck. Banged up the drivers side doors pretty badly. I filed a claim and my daughter provided a witness statement. SGI refused the claim, saying they would only pay for a deer strike if there was an independent witness who was not in the truck. Not sure how many people wander around in the foothills at night watching for deer strikes, apparently the strikes accepted by SGI only happen in Calgary where there are no deer. I called my their ombudsman and was told to go away. Worlds worst insurance company

I was recently in Sept, 2016, struck by an elderly 80+ year old driver at Reginas Cornwall Center. Opposing driver failed to yield to a designated turning arrow into the mall parkade. Since both vehicles appeared to be driveable by the looks of things, the police refrained from attending the scene. Shortly after driving my vehicle, I realize that the entire steering system and allignment was ruined due to opposing driver who hit my rear back tire. In a nutshell, I took a picture of the scene which I submitted to SGI. In the words of SGI, since both our statements varied and there were no independent witnesses, full fault could not be determined. Even if my evidence was fairly compelling, it was not without a doubt (how could it be?). Despite SGI knowing that one party is fully innocent, they imposed fault both ways, meaning I will be held responsible 50% for the collision in which I fully complied with the traffic laws. My 14-year old driving record is in jeopordey due to SGI's deplorable fault policy.

This is a cash grabbing scheme by SGI, which is also a government body and a business at the same time. SGI runs the entire driving industry here, from licensing to insurance- they cannot be avoided. Being found 50% at fault because SGI was unable to determine fault without a doubt to either party, will cost me points and tarnish my record. It also means I will be forced to pay one month of car rental and half the deductible of $700.

Saskatchewan needs better choices then SGI which is tantamount to a government mafia which needs to be dismantled in the name of privatization. As a crown corporation, they try to sell the idea they profited 45 million last year yet they did this on the backs and wallets of Saskatchewan residents, such as myself.

All I can say is that if you can avoid SGI it will be in your strongest benefit to do so, if you can't, continue to advocate and lobby your political representation for change which would permit private insurers to do business in Saskatchewan, allowing Sask residents to freedom of choice in whom they chose to do insurance business with.

Rude, compassionless, and unprofessional employees! Worst customer service I have ever experienced! I would think they would help victims?! We need something different in Saskatchewan!

My daughter was hit by a drunk driving a truck. Her body landed 12 feet from the spot where he hit her. This was his 3rd DUI. He probably stayed in jail for about 4 months. She has a permanent brain injury which leaves her fatigued, etc. She has chronic pain from her injuries. She is unable to work. SGI was terrible to deal with. Did not want to help her and more or less told her to learn how to deal with her new reality of life. I think most people think that when something this terrible happens to you that you will be looked after through insurance. We found out this is not so. We need to get rid of SGI.

SGI has disposed of my van and the claim has not been settled. Note it is still within the two year time period to settle. I had personal items in the van and SGI has been hardballing me on the price. They sent me a web site evaluation for $4550 and then promptly told me that it was only worth around $2200.
They are now up to $3300 less the $700 deductible. They are not making any comment on my personal items.
Now I am presented with the cost of a professional arbitrator which I have no idea where or what that will cost or if it would be worthwhile.
I asked SGI for what they got for the van when it was disposed and they remain quiet.

I was in a wreck were my truck accelerated uncuntrolably I intentionally hit the ditch to miss a oncoming truck the rcmp found no fault and I wasn't charged. Skip to may 30 I go in to get my truck estimate and to see my adjuster and I have a recording of her saying yes the 2005 colorado did have a recall point for a throttle problem but since its an older truck it shouldnt have happened so i handed in some print outs of similar events where the truck accelerated uncuntrolably. June 16 I find out I am 100% accountable for the wreck. June 23 I asked for a higher up they called me and stated that there was no recall on 2005 l5 colorado throttle control only the v8...... no v8s in 05.

RE SGI is evil,
My advice to you is get on your computer and start finding comparable sales for your vehicle. I would also tell SGI you want to save your vehicle and you are not accepting their lame offer to write off your vehicle. (Oh sure you can buy it back and go thru inspections to re insure your vehicle but keep in mind this action could be a potential nightmare). Inform SGI you want to go to arbitration then hire an arbitrator! You will have to fill out a form in regards to what you think your vehicle is worth, your arbitrator should help you with this. Google vehicle appraisers or look in the yellow pages under auto appraisers/arbitrators. I went down this road last fall it was the best $250.00 I have ever spent. After winning my case my SGI adjuster calls me and acts like my best friend telling me how great it is that my vehicle is being fixed etc. Please! Hire an arbitrator!

Two years ago someone hit me from behind when I was stopping at a red light and SGI said it was my fault as my story and the other drivers story didn't match. They told me to take the guy to a small cliam court. They took points of my license and made me pay for each point as well as my deductable.
To mak my life more misreable, last week someone hit my car when it was parked on the street and the driver ran away. It probably happened overnight as there are no witnesses. I took my car for assessment and the assessor started accussing me that this is not a hit a run. He is claiming that I hit my car with concrete. The assessor also was trying to make me change my statement threatening that if the truth doesn't come out SGI won't cover my claim. I told him why would I lie, I am paying for extended insurance and my deductables is only $100 and he started making face and he embaressed me infront of other people at the claim centre. I am not sure what to do, my car is supposed to be written off and now I will lose $16,000.00. Why are they so evil? The assessor was son of a Satan. What is he lying on his report?
