Horrible insurance company

My auto insurance renewal was before I changed the car. Customer care gave me quote but the time of renewal premium was upside down. Customer representative did not act in a professional manner. Coughing on phone very loudly and interrupting my conversation. Finally, I ended the call hanging up on her.
Increase premium every year without a reason, even you have a clean drive record and no claim for benefits. When you want want to change to another insurer. TD charges you even more for cancellation fee!!! Don't go with TD.
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 in Ontario and then in Alberta for around 14 years, they always had the best rate and they give you quote quickly on the phone, great customer service and I had 3 no-fault claims which they handled fairly.
I don't even want to give 1 star. The Worst customer Service. When you buy insurance from them, they seem very polite and nice. 2 weeks temporarily cancellation fee is more than my monthly insurance?
I got in a car accident on March 11, 2018. At first, everything seemed to go smoothly with TD insurance; they set up my rental car very efficiently. My car (a base model 2015 Ford Focus SE) was towed to the body shop for an assessment. A couple days later I heard from the body shop. Their preliminary assessment being $10,300. However, they couldn't remove the bumper to look underneath in order to see any further damages as they couldn't get the car up on a hoist because of the significant damage. My Ford had a previous $8600 claim (winter 2016) from a construction truck clipping the roof. During this 2018 claim, TD insurance initially valued my Ford Focus at $13000. Which would make sense if my Focus didn't have any previous claims. Unfortunately, TD insurance doesn't take previous claims into consideration. They only give you market value for your vehicle. The thing is TD, you're not repairing just any Ford Focus, you're repairing mine. This makes you feel like you're being treated like a number in the process line. This is super insulting for a customer as I would like to be treated as an individual, and you should treat each case based on individual information like you do when you raise my insurance premium. Also, this doesn't relate to actual life. If I were to sell/trade in my vehicle, you better believe they would take a previous claim into consideration of the value. My car at best with a previous claim would be worth $9000. So, of course, I asked why it isn't being written off. The agent on the phone looked into my file and flat out told me the reason why it isn't being written off is because I have replacement insurance on it. Umm.. excuse me! So you're telling me because TD Insurance has to pay me out the full value of the vehicle, they're deciding it's not a write-off... And believe me, I get it. It's far more cost-effective to pay out $10,000 instead of paying $21,000. But sorry, if this isn't a service you stand strongly behind, you shouldn't offer it in the first place. This is beyond insulting! I wouldn't have paid extra to have this service added to my policy in the first place if I would have known you wouldn't stand behind it. The agent goes on to tell me that having replacement insurance holds the value of the car at what I bought it for. Again, this doesn't relate to life because as soon as I drive that car off the lot, it depreciates. As I put KM's on it, it depreciates. I asked to see if my adjuster could contact me regarding my concerns. He called me next week on Wednesday, March 21st to tell me that he was submitting the car as a total loss and that he would follow up with me by the end of the week or early next week. 2 weeks have gone by and I haven't had any follow-up. I called TD on April 2nd, I spent 2 hours on hold and never got through. I called again later, spent another hour on hold and again never got through to anyone. April 3rd, I did receive a call from the body shop saying that it will be getting towed away because it's a total loss. So I wanted to get confirmation from TD as their follow-up has been non-existent. I called again April 3rd and spent another hour on hold, never got through. I called again later the same day and finally got through only to hear that it's not a total loss, that now the value of the vehicle went up from $13,000 to $16,000. This is absolutely ridiculous. How did the value of my Focus just jump up $3000? I've been with TD Insurance for almost 10 years and I'm extremely insulted by the lack of care and respect for my concerns I've gotten. That car is only going to be worth $2000-$3000 at best after this repair. A car which I have $15,000 remaining owing on it that's on a lease through Ford which also has gap insurance. So essentially any underside down TD insurance has, Ford will cover the difference. This is a huge disservice to your customer. I've never been so insulted by a company who I've been a loyal customer with for this long. To be treated like a number. Like nothing but a policy number! And have zero customer service follow-up is insulting. I hope that TD insurance does the right thing. Otherwise, I will be taking my business elsewhere. Maybe somewhere I get treated like an individual like everyone deserves to be treated. Sincerely, a very unimpressed customer, Aaron M.
They keep increasing their prices. Before I was paying 110/month then they renewed my policy with the increase of 200$ premium then they gave me 133$/month. Somehow I talked with them 2-3 times then they decreased to 127.83. I have no accidents, no tickets. But they increased my insurance premium.
They recommended that i get this scam of a towing company over the phone and then refused to foot the $550 towing bill. We also thoght we had collision coverage because they were charging us 40% more than what statefarm quoted us for liability coverage, turns out theyre just ridiculously expensive! I mean all this money to buy a lesson, but this is the stupidest thing ive ever had to deal with. We also apprently got a 30% discount using our university, so what are the rest of you paying for this awful coverage?
I had a horrible experience with TD insurance when you leave you really never ever want to go back. They do not have the best rates. TD insurance does not do a good job in customer service because they do not explain completely everything before a new task or changing something within your account. This is why I don't find TD insurance a good company to be taking my money towards their products.
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've had great experience with their customer service. However, what I will say is that they continuously keep increasing my monthly payment.
First I was paying around $129/mo, then 135+, then 146. I called them to complain about the constant increase, but they would not budge and said it was because other drivers with my same vehicle are getting into a lot of accidents... I adjusted some of the insurance and got it lowered to 136. A few months later, it's back up to $145/mo. No accidents, no tickets, nothing. Just random price increases.
Getting pretty fed up with it, if I find another insurance company that will charge less, I'll probably be switching.

I was with TD insurance for 16 years and I'd give them a negative review if I could. I have never made a claim or had an accident. I moved to an extremely small town a few months ago and they doubled my renter's insurance premium. They made the claim that there must be a lot of crime in the area. So I went from $30 to $60 a month. I called around for quotes and was getting them in the $15 to $20 a month range, so I cancelled and they decided to raise my auto insurance from $115 to $155. I got quotes for $80 to $100 a month elsewhere, so I cancelled everything with them. Now they owe me a refund and will only tell me that I will get it back sometime in the future. They won't even give me a date. You have to sit on the phone for hours trying to get through to someone. Absolutely horrible customer service.
