Avoid TD

TD is by far the worst insurance company. Extremely long waits over 2.5 hours if you are trying to reach out to customer service. If you are lucky enough to get connected (in case the call doesn't drop) the agents are rude and are not interested to listen to your concerns. TD make changes to your policy on their own and jack up your premium and start withdrawing money from your account without even informing you. Stay away from TD at all costs.
By the time I’d had enough of this company and decided to cancel my insurance it then took 12 hours of my time sitting on hold and waiting on chats to have the cancellation completed. I spoke with three people over the course of three weeks and finally had to “pitch a fit” to get it cancelled. Now it’s been 5 weeks waiting on a refund check. So today two hours waiting on chat (after another hour and a half yesterday when my computer went to sleep) to find out that they say a “minimum of 4-6 weeks to get a refund. I asked how they would feel if it took their clients 4-6 weeks to make their payments. This company has no business selling insurance. There is ZERO customer service!!!
I had TD auto and home insurance for years. Never had a problem until recently. Tried to add a second car, it was too expensive so we cancelled and moved our insurance. I cancelled at the end of July. We are owed over $500 and we are still waiting on the repayment! I've called several times about it and was told it was scheduled for repayment Oct. 1. It still isn't in my account. Trying to get through to any customer service representative takes hours! I was literally on hold for over 2 hours before I got through to anyone and that was after multiple phone calls of being on hold for over half an hour, spending lunch breaks on hold etc. A total of 4hours on hold just to cancel and then more trying to find out where my repayment is. Don't go with TD insurance! I've banked with TD since I was 16 and I'm going to switch all my accounts out of TD. It is ridiculous.
I have both home and auto. I have questions and have tried multiple times to reach them by phone (leave it on speaker so I can continue with activities) and eventually give up. They have sent me two identical invoices for my home and have raised my auto insurance. One is due tomorrow and another due next month. Do they have any employees at all? I would give them a zero!
Horrible hold times for customer service, non-competitive rates, provide false information, so far have waited for 5 weeks for a refund on a cancelled policy. No call back from management on escalated calls. Offered no discount for reduced driving when no longer commuting to work due to COVID. Do yourself a huge favour and go elsewhere.
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.
I had a not-at-fault motor vehicle accident in 2018. I went through 7 adjusters and had to contact the insurance ombudsman to get any action. Then as an apology, they were sending a 50 visa gift card that 3 months later was not received. What a joke! The next year my premiums went up to $150.00, now this year up another 250.00 absurd! When I called to complain about my premium which I was given 24 days renewal notice, again, not acceptable! After being on hold for 2 hours and 24 mins all I kept being told was apologies, for the wait time, and all the insurance companies were going up to mine 15%. I informed the girl that during my 2 hour wait time I had time to get many quotes all less than what I am paying currently! One with a big name was the same as my new premium but insuring both my 4 runners and my husband's Toyota truck with full coverage. She then proceeded to tell me that she can lower my premium by removing full coverage on my vehicle. Seriously? After 35 years + banking with TD and insurance with them for 25+ years, then can take a hike! Avoid them at all costs! No COVID relief either thanks TD for a whole lot of nothing!
Over two hours on hold with them prior to COVID. Since then I had to call them twice to cancel my insurance with them I've spent 7 hours on hold with them in the last week just trying to get my last month's payment out of them. By the way, even if the customer service representative won't cancel your insurance for you when you call they won't give you your last month/deposit back they charge you the exact amount of money to cancel. When you buy your insurance with them they say you going to pay the first and last month's insurance payment but that's not the truth. They actually charged me $260 upfront and my insurance was quoted at $117. I was supposed to get half of that back but they just do what insurance companies are good at the lie and lie some more to take your money and when you have a claim they will do everything in there power not to pay you. Also, they didn't even call me to spike my insurance premium they just took money out of my bank account without my permission!!! Also, they will not communicate with you via email so you have to spend a ton of time on the phone just waiting to talk to a person that really only seems to be interested in taking your money! Because of my experience with this company, I will never even consider using TD bank for anything not even for a mortgage. They have lost a customer for life. There are cheaper better rates out there too. With better companies. I save $40 a month by switching with the same coverage!
On the 17th of January 2020, I was involved in an accident. I was not at fault. And the at-fault party also uses TD Insurance. This meant I got the opportunity of experiencing TD Insurance from vehicle replacement to accident benefits to a body injury settlement. The staff were extremely excellent and fair. I got excellent amount for my car and I was able to buy a far better car with the funds given to me by TD Insurance. I enjoyed massages (physiotherapy) and psychotherapy sessions based on accident benefits. All the staff explained the entire process to me. The lady (adjuster) for the accident benefit was so kind and helped me through the shock of the Coronavirus period. I got constant checkup calls from the adjuster for the settlement. I got frequent letters from TD Insurance informing of changes in the process. This staff work across Canada and yet it feels as though live beside each other. You can feel the oneness of purpose and unity and service excellence from all of them. I am grateful and I am happy to be insured by TD Insurance. I was so encouraged that I improved my insurance policy to two insurance. The settlement was great. I highly strongly recommend TD Insurance. They are stable safe and secure. You are simply the BEST.
The worst insurance provider. I have been charged thrice in a month. They cancelled and updated my policy without my concern and then said they tried to reach me but I never got any call. NEVER GET A INSURANCE FROM TD.

As a policyholder for a year, I've had nonstop issues with them. Insanely long wait-times aside, I've experienced countless billing issues on their end that I've always had to call in and correct (ie. double billing me 2 months in a row), representatives in their call center who exert almost zero effort to help actually solve the problem at hand, and worse - they make countless mistakes and do not take accountability for any of them. They are supposed to keep notes on your account. The most recent example of their sloppiness is when I called in to point out a billing error that they thankfully fixed during the call. At the end of the call, I inquired about when my policy was renewing, to which the representative replied 'end of the month'. I called in a few days later to cancel my policy after finding out that I have been grossly overpaying after CAA gave me a quote, and the woman on the line states that my policy 'just renewed the previous day' and as a result, I would now be responsible for a $600 cancellation fee. Because the other TD representative was so lazy as to verify my renewal date (and was so lazy that he didn't even make any notes on my account during my call with him). I am now stuck with this awful company for another whole year. I'm almost tempted to pay up the $600 just to be free from their awful service. Word to the wise: save yourself constant headaches + overpayment and avoid TD auto insurance like the plague.
