Horrible customer service

I sat on hold for the ridiculous amount of time, two hours and 44 minutes only to be disconnected.
This is the second attempt at getting a simple thing done that for some reason won't allow me to do it online and I've been on hold for almost 4 hours total without talking to an agent.
I'll be taking my business elsewhere because there is no way anyone could think this is acceptable.
Car insurance premium rising every year. Yet unable to get through to an agent by phone or online. Unless you have enough time on your hands to wait for who knows how long? Hopefully, you don't get transferred that is another hold time. I couldn't even get access to the website for a few days with no reason for the problem? This is just so I could pay for my coverage? I've never had so much pain trying to give someone money. When I finally got through they decided to tack on a late penalty! That was it for me. Cancelled. They wouldn't rescind the penalty. So for $25 they lost over $1000. Never use TD for insurance. They do not have enough "service" people to handle what business they have. I'm just glad I didn't have to file a claim. That must be scary.
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.
You will be waiting FOREVER. I have a policy with TDI for years both auto and home. Started calling them to change my policy and add my husband & his vehicle to my policy yesterday. Was on hold for 90 mins and no answer. Called again and waited on the line for 80 minutes, no answer. Tried live chat and waited for 45 mins, it showed I was no. 4 in a queue then their business hours ended. Left a secure message via email, I am currently waiting for a reply. Meanwhile, I also logged in and tried to edit my policy online 6 times, punched in all my info and the final page says “internal server error”, called the technical support line and no answer - waited about 15 mins. This morning, I called early in the morning just after 8 am and waited for 130 mins, no answer - I finally gave in. I was lucky enough another insurer me never and managed to secure an online quote with them for a much cheaper rate for the husband. Byebye TD, you will need to find a way to get service to your customers or you will lose customers like crazy! Cannot imagine someone in need of help for a claim... If you are with TD, switch as soon as you can and don’t waste 6 hours plus on them like me, if you are thinking about getting their products, move along as you will never get through the line.
On Aug 6, 2020, started a process to buy home and auto insurance. Their phone queue is brutally slow. Took 4-5 hours in a queue to get it finished. Online quote and purchase a sketchy, slow, unreliable process. Once set up, technical difficulty with myinsurance.td.com that prevented me from looking at the details. I am cancelling the policies. Not going near them. Horrendous stories of the complicated unreliable process when a claim is involved.
I wanted to add my wife to my auto policy and the website said I have to call customer service. The 1st time I waited for 40 mins, nobody answer! 2nd time I was on hold for 80minutes, still no answer. Then I tried to call the number under "get a quote", no wait, issue resolved... They don't take care of the existing customer at all!
I had to make some changes to my policy and was on hold for 1 Hour and 41 Minutes. I thought that was bad but they reached a new low today. I bought a new car and had to get insurance so I phoned for the immediate service and have now as I am typing this been on hold for 2 HOURS 48 MINUTES AND STILL NO HELP!!! I went online and tried doing the changes but it takes them two days. I am cancelling my insurance with them because of this inferior service. I have no complaint with their prices it is the horrible service.
It is horrible customer service. You can't get anyone on the phone. I was just trying to change my auto policy. Couldn't do it online because apparently there was a problem with my login. So I called. Day one - on hold 6 hours, day 2 - on hold 5 hours, day 3 - still on hold, I emailed Facebook message I have been trying everything. No one wants to answer the phone. Perhaps there should be more staff hired to work from home or give away to change your login without calling. Or just answer the phone.
Unavailable online. On hold forever! Access to site disconnected for no reason!

If I could give a lower rating I would... but I can't. Spent over an hour on hold to only be disconnected. Tried again the next day and the same thing happened. So I went a different route by sending a message on their website, after writing my long message it didn't let me send it as the "function was unavailable"... So I turned to Twitter to get information and get my question answered only to be told to try phoning them again. Absolutely useless!
