TD Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

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.

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 called TD's insurance, got a competitive quote, and applied for the insurance at the same day I bought my car. Three weeks later without hearing from them, I called again and I was informed that I am going to receive it in few days. I received in few days a letter from them asking for further documents that they didn't ask for from the start. I sent them the documents and I called them later to be informed by someone that because it is summer time, paper work is finished slowly and if I don't like it I can look for a broker!! Now because of them my car has been parked for two months now waiting for TD's mercy and I regret that I wasted my time with them. With the calls I made to this company I realize now how unwelcoming, and uncommitted to the time and to customers they are. My advise is that don't let their low prices get you to apply for their insurance.

I had an accident where an impact (verified by mechanic) caused my rad to leak and engine to burn out. T.D. refused to settle and dragged out the claim for months. Christina (adjuster) talked with me twice. Other staff were rude hard nosed and dishonest. Met with "Keith" an investigator who said a "denied claim will result in facility insurance" and intimidated me. I withdrew my claim and later thought that I would still want to purse it. On being contacted by Keith he simply yelled "fraud fraud" into the phone and insisted on a police report after the fact (no such a thing -there are accident reporting centers that you must report to in 48 hours -I had reported mine directly after the fact to T.D. Do not insure your car there - they apparently do not pay out a lot of claims (I am out 3000 for new engine, repairs to rad travelling and hotel-all supposed to be covered by T.D. P.S. claims dept ONLY calls or not taped-BEWARE.

i would like to say there rates are terrible claims services is terrible someone was in an accident and almost died, and it was there insureds fault .... thank god for witnesses, as well rude adjusters would never ever ever use this company and pray to god your never in accident with them.. terrible.. and im glad i cancelled with them,

I have been with TD for 2 years only. They had the best rates so I signed up with them. However, after one at fault accident which I got a ticket for they refused to renew my policy. I've never had claims before nor tickets. It was a one time mistake that I made and they dropped me. Because they refused to renew my policy, no other insurer would take me except facility insurance companies the high risk ones. I went from paying $1430 a year to $4200. I am 27 years old and can barely afford this. Your company is in the claims business you must expect people to make mistakes. I only made one and you ruined my record! Never in my life I am going back to TD!

I've been with TD auto insurance for 20+ years and had a 'minor accident' (their words) more than 4 years ago. Today I got a letter saying my insurance policy will not be renewed because they just pulled up my file now. After calling the company, they refused to reason with me and kept saying there was nothing they could do. I've been paying them 500 dollars a month for two cars and I was still loyal to this company. Worst mistake I've ever made. Should have listened to friends and family when they told me to switch companies. Horrible treatment of customers, does not value loyalty, and company policies are ridiculous.

I have been with this company for several years with no accidents. Then 1 had 3 accidents in 2013 - 1 was a minor one that was my fault; absolutely no damage to my vehicle and only scratches to other vehicle; the second accident happened in a gas station parking lot where it was clearly the other driver's fault as he was not paying attention; he tried to get me to not go through insurance and to go to his cousin's mechanic which looked shady (I checked it out) so I did not do. This ended up in a 'he said she said scenario' and they put it at my fault. The 3rd incident occurred as I was driving to North Bay and just around Deep River a driver driving the other way started to come over the centre and at 100 km an hour was coming head on to me, I had to swerve to avoid the car and ended up in the ditch with damage. There were 2 witnesses that this car almost hit as well and a police report (we all agreed it appeared the driver fell asleep at the wheel). The insurance company deemed it my fault because the driver kept going. Then they dropped me. After 10+ years without anything on my file. Shame on them!

I have fired TD twice. Both times were due to low rates coming in ad then them jacking rates way up on renewal. This last time they raised my homeowners 57% with no claims ever on anything, they also raised my auto 22%. Two cars, home and two snowmobiles insured with this company. I got an online quote posing as a new customer for all my property at 3% less than my renewal. The agent was unable to provide any reason for the rate hikes and gave convoluted answers. I switched again this year and saved $1700.00 by not accepting their renewal. I will however get them to quote me again the future. Last time I fired them the reason I returned was due to the rates, they actually insured me for less than any others at that time but pulled what seems to be their standard MO of jacking rates on renewals. I have 35 years of driving, no accidents or tickets in over 25 years and not one home owners claim ever. I am an insurers best customer, but was treated like an idiot.
