Please, STAY AWAY!

1 out of 5 stars
I would give negative stars if I could.
If you have issues with payments, they won't tell you. They will just cancel your insurance and let you drive around unknowingly - uninsured!
No phone call or email to try and get ahold of you to resolve the issue. I would expect that in such times they would try and work with their clients to accommodate the hard times that EVERYONE has fallen on.
They lie and say a payment was missed on a certain date as you are looking at your bank statement to verify what they are saying and how amazing to see the money was actually taken out.
Hello,
I have had very bad experience with TD Insurance and very disappointed to see the way Claim Adjuster has misrepresented me by her contradict email. Before giving me any offer rented car or claim amount of money. My car has been salvaged and i came to know about when i have received the letter from Alberta Vehicle Registration.
After this incident i have decided to close my account with TD BANK and move on to other BANK.
She contradict herself by email. in email she asked me when your are going to repair car otherwise close file and second email asked me accept
her offer of money and my car not repairable.
She did not notified me about salvage of car, i could not able to go for work. when i decided talk to her Manager, she denied to transfer her call to Manager. she wanted to settle with her offer. she was rude and not respond me by email and phone.
I complain to HR department, but i have mental and financial loss because of her misrepresentation.
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've been with TD Insurance for over 5 years for both my home and auto policies.
Recently, I was parked in a grass field at a festival and hit a rut while leaving which bottomed out the front of the car and caused some damage to the front bumper cover and some stuff in behind. Was going to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, but the estimate ended up to be over $3000 (who knew plastic was so expensive)... so I decided to claim it thru TD.
I paid my deductible and they had one of their preferred shops fix the damage and provided me with a rental for a week (which was not even comparable to the car I was driving) - Strike #1.
The claims process was straightforward but trying to get a hold of the adjuster was like pulling teeth. Seems all calls are screened and are sent directly to voicemail... it would then take 1-2 days for them to bother to call you back - Strike #2.
The final straw was the ignorant and rude voicemail I received from one of their agents today that said "Due to your recent $3000 claim, we are not renewing your policy. I suggest you look online for another provider. Goodbye" Keep in mind, my renewal date is July 1st. Thanks so much for the sufficient notice! /sarcasm.
I ended up using Kanetix.ca to find another insurer and had a new home and auto policy within 30 minutes which ended up SAVING me over $1000/yr.
TD Insurance can be summed up as follows:
- Ridiculously expensive
- Terrible customer service (rude agents or agents who don't know what they are doing and have to ask a manager for help every 5 minutes)
- Ridiculously long hold times when calling in
- Rates continuously increase every year with no justification
- Insurance adjusters hide behind voicemail
STAY AWAY from these crooks
After years of using TD insurance (never had a claim) they decided to cancel my policy. They gave me less than a week notice.
When I called they couldn't give me a straight answer as to why my policy was cancelled. They told me to Google another insurance company. (This was of course after waiting on hold for a long time)
But of course they kept taking their payments out of my bank account. I had to keep calling and asking for a refund while they tried to sell me another policy?????
I'm glad I never had a claim. What a nightmare.
Never use td auto insurance!
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.
DO NOT get auto insurance with this company! I had one month left to pay and they canceled on me with NO notice. They said I didn't pay, when in fact the money came out of my account and I sent them proof. They didnt care. They STOLE money from me then canceled. Now NO company will sell me auto insurance because of these scammers. They may be cheaper than most places, but please don't let this happen to you, go with another provider. Because of them my insurance history is absoubtly toast.
They change your premium without updating the customer and when we ask them the reason. They tell us that TD sent a mail which I never received. They deduct money from your account without us knowing. Just till scammers. And when we ask for a refund they say one or the other reason and are not willing to give a refund at any cost. So bad service. I would not recommend TD to anyone.
I got a letter in the mail saying my insurance was being cancelled because of 1 missed payment. My bank never once notified me that the money tried coming out and couldn’t, which it does any other time, and I always had the money in my account for my insurance anyways. Ended up calling them and they tell me I missed a payment back in MARCH and I got the letter in the mail a couple of days ago which is now AUGUST. They didn’t let me know about this “missed payment” until 5 months later and they go and cancel my insurance on me and I was driving without insurance for a couple of days not having a clue at all until I got the letter. When I called (the guy on the phone was nice, nothing against him), he claimed since my policy was already canceled, I could pay the money I owe and MAYBE go back to monthly payments (apparently it’s up to the computer system after the fact if I can do that or not) OR pay the money and find out I have to start paying yearly if “that’s what the computer decides.” So to continue with them I’d need over $2000 in my bank account for them to take out for the year and start yearly payments. I don’t have that kind of money at all so I switched insurance companies. I’m paying over $100 less now for this one and they are great so far. Really really stupid setup.
Worst insurance providers ever. They deducted insurance money twice in 10 days. When called them to return the money, they just said it was just a mistake and will be returned in 10 business days. Fraudsters. The call agents don't even know what exactly to say. Every year my insurance went up instead of going down. Real scammers.

I'd like to start by saying in order to get a 1* rating by me, you'd have to be unprofessional, arrogant, complacent & willing to outright lie to your customer. TD Insurance covers all of those basis.
In May of 2016, I was a victim of a wildfire in Fort McMurray, that sadly took my home away & everything I've ever worked hard for. Surprisingly, my car was still standing on the road that I abandoned it on because of police ordering everyone to run on foot, even though everything around it burned.
Dealing with TD since has been NOTHING short of a nightmare after another nightmare.
There was a misunderstanding in my policy (me thinking I was protected because I was paying for some sort of 1-million dollar coverage) & also a Gold Premium Package. It all sounds reassuring & fancy until you actually need it & it's NOT the kind of coverage you think you're paying for.
I was given 1/3rd of what I owned & had an experience over the phone with one of their associates not realizing he didn't hang up on his end, & all I could hear was him belittling myself & my mother with another co-worker in the background. I had vice presidents & a senior manager call to "apologize" but that's all for show, they don't mean it & don't let them fool you into thinking they do.
Moving on from my Tenants Policy, now begins my Auto Mobile claim...
The associate I was dealing with about my car was calling everyday to give me an update about my vehicle - which was always the same, that it was still waiting to go into the shop but it was in a secured lot & he couldn't get in touch with them to find out more details - until about a week & a half ago when he stopped calling. I'd also like to mention that he asked ME to make phone calls for HIM because he was "extremely busy & wasn't sure when he'd be available to work on my claim." He also mentioned that he & his manager would be working on extending our rental due to the circumstance of the wildfire & the long wait for repair shops. This was all talked about around June 15-20th, somewhere in between that time frame.
Just yesterday, July the 3rd, I answered the phone to the company who TD Insurance rented a vehicle for me was calling to tell me that TD stopped paying since the 23rd of June & that I would have to start paying out of my pocket if I wished to keep it longer. I told them my Insurance extended the policy, but they said no phone call was made to them.
And so then I called TD Insurance, July 2nd, to find out what was going on.
The associate working on my claim explained to me that he was still working with his manager on extending the rental & hasn't gotten an answer back yet. And that he "assumed MY car was taken care of in the shop because myself or the autobody shop didn't call him with updates," so he stopped working on it.
I asked to speak with his manager at this point. He told me his manager would try & call me back. I waited 2 hours, no call from him, so I called again. Finally I got the manager on the phone & of course he was arrogant. He wanted to argue with me, not help me, & when told his associate was to blame, he kept repeating, "I fail to see how my associate is to blame. How is this his fault?"
I also have a voice mail of the associate apologizing for his mistake, that he should have been on top of it but wasn't & that he would work on getting the rental extended with the help of his manager. The manager also told me that they weren't going to extend it to help us out. Neither of them had plans to call & tell me this, or else I would have returned the rental when it was due to go back so that I wouldn't have another expense.
...
They'll treat you with arrogance & talk to you like you're stupid when they make mistakes & won't own up for it.
They put crooks in place of managers on purpose to deal with us paying customers, so that finally we will just give up & say it's not worth it anymore.
You'll pay them money for a service that they'll try & pass off onto you.
And you'll hear constant apologies about mistakes they've made because they decided to take their time with your claims.
STAY AWAY... and if you decide to still go through with getting insurance through TD, record every conversation you have with them & let them know that you're doing it so that it's legal. Ask a million questions until you thoroughly understand your policy - & make sure that person doesn't use words like, "I think so," or, "I'm pretty sure," because that's when you know they don't know what they're selling you.
Be smarter than these crooks.
