Dishonest company

Just had mine go up 178$ a year. Phoned in and the representative tells me to drop comprehensive to save 700$ I say no and at the same time he is telling me my car is only worth 2000$ yet they are charging me 700$ a year comprehensive, you would think they would lower that rate to a more reasonable amount like 400$ a year. What a joke this company is.
I am dissatisfied and extremely disappointed with the lack of service that I have been receiving with TD insurance and I would not recommend them to anyone. I was stopped at a red light on November 6th when a roll of truck rolled back. The 2 beams of the truck crushed my hood and my window and if it wasn't for my fast thinking; I jumped out of the car, I could have been crushed as well. I jumped out of the car and started yelling at the driver that his truck was rolling back.
TD called me on December 1st and advised me that my car would be ready and drove from Woodbridge to Mississauga to pick it up and when I arrived at the Shop I noticed the engine light that comes on. The 10,000 pounds that crushed my car also damaged the internal cam shaft of my car and now it is leaking. I have been told by the shop that TD will not be covering for this damage!! My car was running perfectly before the accident and NOW TD does want to pay for full coverage.
In addition to my near death experience, I have been told by TD that my policy has a $1000.00 NO FAULT DEDUCTIBLE, which I had no idea that my policy had. I was thought to believe that $1000.00 would be charged to me when the accident is AT MY FAULT.
Four weeks have passed and I'm left with a $1000.00 bill plus $1,000's more to fix the cam shaft and the leaking through the head gasket!
I have been in contact with some lawyers and the local media to bring this matter to everyone's attention and to help others who are left with $1000.00 bill. I cannot believe the multi million dollar company is taking full advantage of the consumer!!
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.
I would not recommend Td to anyone I was constantly being ripped off by this company and you were trying to charge me $240 dollars for parking my car in my yard which covered absolutely nothing for other insurance companiesyou pay $20 a year for fire and theft on your car for it being parked would not recommend TD insurance company to anyone you're in for a bad experience I lost about $900 that they ripped off for me
Recently TD Car Insurance has been taking my car insurance out ONE DAY earlier than stated on their policy that I agreed to. I forgot about catching those pricks earlier by one day before my actual car insurance came out, and low and behold, it came out ONE DAY EARLIER AGAIN. This time they check mate me. I "missed" it and than they charged me 48$ and said the car insurance would try and come out between 2-5 business days again. I deposited the money into the account where automatic with drawls come out of. Two days later we receive a letter in the mail stating it would come out on OCT 1ST 2015 and that ANOTHER 25$ admin fee would come out NEXT car insurance payment date (not this one), not the original 2-5 days, but 9 more days (sick bastards) they know how I deal with my online banking and that ALL my bills come out on the 1st of every month, so they were hoping I would forget to transfer fees from my other bank to this account. Anyways OCT 1ST and what do they do? They pull out the 25$ ADMIN FEE and than they pull out my car insurance, hoping I would not catch it (the 25$ fee) so that they could charge me ANOTHER 48$ (because they were not suppose to take out that 25$ fee until next car payment) You need to be careful with TD. They are sneaky sob's, and they watch how you bank, and get to know you as a person through your online banking, to ding you for fee's. Paying an overdraft fee monthly and or having overdraft is pretty much a payment to keep them off of your bank. There the mafia, that pay analysts to watch your every move so they know when they can ding you with fees. RUN AWAY FROM THEM WHILE YOU CAN!!!
I've been with TD for about 3 years now. They have some of the best customer service. However they have recently increased my premiums by about $1000. Had to move to another company as a result. I will miss their customer service.
The insurance is well priced and the customer service is good however this company hit a nerve with me today. They have double billed me with 7 day refund times, sent my mail to the wrong house and messed up billing. After all this they denied me insurance today (after 3 years with TD) for a missed payment that happened 2 years ago, even though at the time (I was a student) I had called and explained I needed 48 hours more as I was delayed I'm getting my loan. Everything continued as normal and today, 2 years and 4 months after this missed payment they decide not sell me insurance as I don't fit their company criteria anymore..wow TD..
It's a good thing we don't hold you to the same standards you hold us. I should have switched providers the time you accidentally billed my visa $344 instead of saying 'hey mistakes happen'.
As with most of the other reviewers here, I had a horrible experience with TD Insurance. I had snowmobile insurance with them in the past. I got insurance for a new snowmobile I purchased in late October of 2014. I paid $581 in full for a 1 year policy. I sold the snowmobile in early February of 2015 as it was not what I wanted. I called to cancel my snowmobile insurance the day after I sold it. I had the TD insurance for a total of 111 days. Therefore, I should have gotten a pro-rated amount of $404 back. Instead TD Insurance informed me that they would return only $180 of my $404. They cited that their internal policy is to pro-rate snowmobile insurance higher in the winter because you are only really using it in the winter. What? The two people I spoke with at TD both admitted to me that there was nothing explaining this so-called "internal policy" in the policy documents sent to me...only one vague reference to "unearned portion of the premium" They said that if they allowed everyone buying snowmobile insurance to get the pro-rated amount back, everyone would simply get snowmobile insurance in December and cancel it in April. But, I told them I sold the snowmobile and would provide proof of that. They did not care. I could see a $50 admin charge or something like that, but they simply ripped me off for $224 because they know no one will go to small claims court for that amount. Basically, my experience with TD Insurance is that these guys will make up the rules to suit themselves. What do you think would happen with an insurance company like this if you have a claim??? I will never let TD Insurance insure anything I own.
I called twice for getting a new quote because I am going to move in April. For the first time I called, the new quote is double of my current rate, even the new location is only one block away. But the one who answered my call was pretty nice, he said he's not going to change anything at the moment, and told me to go shop around first since they raise a lot and I still have time. However, some friends recommended me to call again because the guy might mess up my quote. For the second time I called, the experience is horrible. At the beginning, the guy told me to call again since the quotation will not be accurate because it is more than 30 days. I had to tell him what happened before like begging him to do me a favor, then he started to do my quote. Then he gave me the same quote like the first time, and be like your previous premium is cheap because of our system error since I lived in north of Ontario before. I moved to Toronto for few years already, and I moved for like 2 or 3 times, now you're telling me all of these got system error. Ridiculous. And he instantly raise my premium of renewal, even I received the renewal notice letter like few weeks ago. I am totally gonna cancel TD insurance.
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.
Here's a cautionary tale. TD sent me my slips after setting up automated payments for a new auto policy for two drivers and three vehicles. All good, or so I thought. But an error took place in entering my banking information. They mailed a letter (regular mail) that I didn't open - my bad. Then they cancelled my policy without me knowing. Their bad.
When I discovered the situation, they said they mailed twice, and phoned and left messages twice. That sounded fishy because this is not the kind of voice-mail one would forget. And when I looked up my voice-mails on the dates recorded in their files - there were no messages from them.
Not only that, they told me that I was now not able to restore coverage with them because I'd been cancelled for non-payment. And not just with them, because that black mark went against my file with every other insurance company.
They put me in a really tight spot with that - and they were brutally inflexible about it across multiple phone calls over a period of 24 hours. The cost for me of not opening that envelope has been in the thousands: car rentals, selling off vehicles, shifting to a company car, getting my wife re-insured in a hurry under another carrier. But it could have been much, much worse had I had an accident while driving (unknowingly) without insurance. (Even the fine if you're caught driving an uninsured vehicle is $5000 ).
Weeks later, I complained through TD's facebook page. To their credit they looked into it and did promptly offer to reinstate my insurance and remove the non-payment flag from my file. I did appreciate those small gestures. But had they done the right thing in the first place, they would have tracked me down before canceling me over a keystroke error: Registered mail, courier, even a real phone call to a real phone number would have been appropriate contact strategies given what was at stake for any auto insurance customer. And when I called in - they could have handled my situation very very differently. I might not write a protest song and post it on Youtube, but I'll sure never look at that brand the same way again. Their homepage advertises "a simple way to protect the ones you love." Nice words. Nice words.

I got a quote of a bundled insurance (auto and condo) before I was purchasing my car. A fortnight later, I called in to inform TD that I would be taking possession of the condo soon and I'd like to give them my bank information. To my astonishment, the final quote was around 200$ more than the initial one.
I expressed my frustration with the customer service person. The person was all understanding and asked me to send in a retroactive cancellation application, promising there wouldn't be any fees. I work in risk management so I found this a happy surprise. With this promise from TD, I gladly sent in the document and called Lapersonal for a lower quote.
Several days later, I got two mails from TD. One telling me that my Condo insurance had been successfully cancelled, the other telling me I had to pay for my auto insurance in full.
Confused, I resent my document to TD asking them to verify since it was a cancellation for two policies.
A few days later, I got a mail from TD saying the auto insurance was cancelled, but I had to pay $180+ . I didn't even save that much money from switching to Lapersonal.
So I called in customer service again asking for an explanation. They told me what I had thought they would do when I asked about the cancellation: the $180+ was for the period from the inception of the policy to the date I sent in the cancellation. I WAS TOLD QUITE DIFFERENTLY BY THE TIME THE PERSON INSTRUCTED ME TO CANCEL THE POLICY.
The customer service told me to write down that I really wanted to cancel the policy and send the LaPersonal proof of insurance to them. I did so right away.
A few days later I received another bill. This time the money I "OWED" was $197.58! Not only nothing had been done to resolve the problem, I was charged interest!!
This is the worst experience I've had with any insurance company. What I experience is 100% fraud, once during the initial quoting period once during the cancellation. I'm seeking all the ways I can to have this bill write off but I don't have all the time in the world. Avoid this dishonest company at all cost.
