SGI Auto Insurance Reviews

These guys are chintzy bleeps, complete morons and will bleep you over cross-province whenever they can recommend that you choose not to live in Saskatchewan specifically to avoid these bleepy bleeps. It's no wonder Sask drivers are known to be the worst across Canada. Live in Alberta, got seat belt tickets which require you to take a defensive driving course. It's my bleeping life first of all, who are you to tell me to protect myself in that manner, secondly a bleeping driving course for not wearing a seatbelt. How about a course for crashing or running red lights, how about proper signalling. Like I said, no wonder Sask drivers are known to be the most terrible drivers in Canada.

I got in an accident and was not at fault. My car is a 1997 so I asked that my receipts be accepted into the estimate so I can get the proper value for my car because it seems it is cutting it close to being "totaled" despite it being drivable. The claims rep does not want my receipts. I am aware that previous damages mean where the driver hit me they do not have to fix, but I ask myself why I pay insurance then. that is a personal opinion. I am also finding it very hard to believe that my car is valued so low and because of that I am not able to get a car rental. I am not at fault here and the service I have received over the phone, the tone seemed like it was my fault. I want to keep my car and I pay insurance very year, and even when I get hit by other drivers I have to pay damages that were existing but got WORSE by them, and I don't get rental while by car is being fixed. This is disgusting.

According to the SGI and police, if a police does not clock the speeds of the vehicles in a crash, you have no ability to state the other party was speeding. So, in short, there's no difference between a 1 km/h crash and a 1000 km/h UNLESS there is a cop to clock the speeds. Remember that next time, that in the off chance a police officer pulls you over for "speeding" and he didn't clock you, that he can't legally issue you a ticket.

Furthermore, they compare your vehicle to ambiguous Kijiji adds comparable to your vehicle. The vehicle ads will not display their VIN (SGI won't even obtain the VIN's for every vehicle listed on their comparison list while they call you crazy for requesting a simple verification of those ads) on the comparison sheet for your write-off, nor do they show pictures of said vehicles. This provides a open spot for people to scam SGI and falsely make ads on Kijiji of their exact vehicle model, post them on Kijiji for outrageous sums of money and then receive a lump sum BASED solely on the invalid ads SGI checks. Very professional and well done.

Overall, I'm receiving less money for my vehicle than what I put into insurance for a vehicle that was rated all good on all sections of the SGI inspection. This does not make sense as someone who pays 1000$ for a 30,000$ vehicle will receive 80% of 30,000$ for merely 1000$ per year of insurance. Sure, this is good for rich people, but SGI is essentially a social construct meant to be GREAT insurance for LOW price. However, thanks to right wing, it's not that way anymore, and they don't operate at cost and work in gold plated sky scrapers.

Would recommend public transportation or cycling. You're better off disturbing with a pair of in-lines or bicycles than dealing with no-fault insurance OR mindless babble about how all the hard evidence you have is invalid because they say so.

SGI never even look at my truck when I was hit from the back and the accident was not my fault they just denied the claim I am now out of work and living the salvation army homeless shelter

I was in accident jan2 1900 hours another truck(ryder) hit me from behind and damaged the trailer and load restrainsts. I took the load to alberta delivered as per dispatch instruction with a damage front anddriver side window broken hood, hood hinge, electrical not working broken mirrows and vibration in the steering after the accident, On jan 6 I took the truck and trailer back to Saskatoon and phoned SGI. and had 3 sep shops look at the truck. the western star dealer told me the truck was a write off. I went back Ontario with the truck through mi with broken window no horn or broken hood hinge. I waited 2 weeks in Ontario for SGI. to look at the tractor both SGI. and my employer RSB knew wher the tractor was after 2 weeks RSB was wanting me to get some repairs done so I could bring the truck out to Saskatoon for SGI to look at it. the truck sat in sask atoon for 2 days waiting SGI to look ast it my uncle was very sick so they gave a load back to on. as my father brother had died. I took a week off for that and told SGI were the truck was. SGI. then waited a second week to tell me to bring the truck out to regina so that they could look at . I told the the truck might not make it they told me to limb the truck out or tow it out at my expense.

I have lived in Alberta and in the United States and this is by far the worst insurance experience I've had. As it is a government owned insurance company and the only option available, you are forced to be insured by them while they do whatever they can to get themselves the most money. My parked vehicle was hit in a parking lot resulting in a dent on my rear passenger quarter panel. The man responsible called SGI to report the accident but it was deemed a "no-fault" collission. My car was still driveable (no structural damage) but the damage was extremely overvalued and my car was deemed a "total loss". I bought it back as advised by an autobody shop because the repairs wouldn't cost nearly what SGI claimed they would. SGI would not cover the cost of a rental vehicle while my car was in the shop even though the website says "The cost of a rental vehicle is covered if: You're not at fault for the collision and you require a replacement vehicle, providing the at-fault driver's insurance coverage is in order"
This clause does not apply to all vehicles or cases!!
In general, they do whatever they can to keep as much money for themselves even if you are not at fault, are slow at returning calls, and provide vauge information on your claim and their services unless you know specifically what to ask for. I was very disappointed with this whole experience and upset that this is the only option available to people living in Saskatchewan.

Absolutely appalling. Deny claims for no reason, even when supported by written witnesses and legal declarations and statements from their brokers, with no appeals or recourse. Cheap rates, but you get what you pay for. They are fine as long as they are getting your money, but if you need service, get a lawyer. Worst insurance company on the planet.
