Long Wait Times/ Over priced

1 out of 5 stars
I got a letter in the mail with my policy number and the amount due. I have called several times in order to pay this bill. They cannot find my policy number, they keep putting me on hold, transferring me and hanging up the line. Last time, I advised them and they said that they would call me back if it were to happen again..... Obviously, no one called back. This is completely unacceptable and frustrating.
I have been a customer for over 25 years. I have tried on a number of occasions to get through to them as a result of a call from them saying I need to review my auto policy.
The wait time is ridiculous. Their message just repeats on a loop, plus there is no opportunity to request a callback and no indication as to how long you will have to wait.
I know from past experience when you do finally get through, they are good to deal with, but getting to them is next to impossible. TD, you really need to do something to fix this issue.
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.
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.
I had a claim, the adjuster contacted me but wouldn't respond to further communication. I learned later that the adjuster was changed, and the new adjuster wouldn't respond until after weeks of trying to contact. The new adjuster eventually sends a Proof of Loss which I signed and sent, but won't respond to my emails or phone calls on follow up of the settlement. Very hard company to deal with if you have a claim.
Last year Nov, in a no-fault incident, my car was total loss. However, no agent contacts me after a whole month while I need the insurance coverage to rent a car. I have to wait on the phone line and after several attempts I finally reach the supervisor. I was told the agent who handling my case is not at the office and now another agent is assigned. Afterward, the compensation amount is far below market value of my hit vehicle, and it cost me one more week to bargain with the agent for a reasonable price. I immediately cancel it once the coverage period is over, still I need to schedule a phone call in order to cancel it. The customer service has bad attitude and does not care if I cancel it or not. Overall, price isn't attractive, bad CS, worst claim experience. I will NEVER use any service from TD, including bank service.
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 am very disappointed with TD Insurance due to their poor customer service and lack of communication. In August 2023, I was driving in heavy rain, and water damaged my car engine, causing it to stop working. I filed a claim immediately and explained my situation. Despite my concerns, TD Insurance insisted on repairing the engine instead of writing off the vehicle. This is a family car, and replacing the engine raises serious safety and reliability issues. The car has been sitting exposed to snow and rain for over a year, which could cause further damage, including rust and other safety problems. To make matters worse, I have been trying to contact my claims' advisor, but each time I get no response to my emails or phone calls. I also requested a rental vehicle, but no one has addressed my requests. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and stressful for my family. I pay full insurance premiums, yet I have received no service or resolution for my claim. The lack of communication and disregard for my safety concerns is unacceptable. I urge TD Insurance to take responsibility for their customer service and address claims in a timely and respectful manner.
I would not recommend TD Insurance to anyone based on this experience.
I was involved in a 100% not at fault accident (other driver ran a stop sign) when I made initial contract they were helpful (sunday) but when Monday came around they treated me totally different, they said they can't get me a rental even tho I paid for rental coverage and just told me to "get the bus or uber, submit your receipts and you'll probably get reimbursed" even though I told them neither are offered in my area, had to find my own transportation for 2 weeks.
They WILL NOT let you buy YOUR car back, said everything is sold to another company, and you have to deal with them. I tried to contact them and got told "people think they can just buy it back, but it doesn't work that way. It's probably already sold". They push and pressure you to sign a release form so they can take your car before settling the case.
Lowballed me on the appraisal, got all the specs of the car wrong, then forced me to do all the leg work to get a fair price for my car. It took 3 weeks to settle the auto part. Would not give me fair value for my modifications, said a upgraded clutch ($3000) was normal maintenance for a car with sub 100,000km.
I had to find my own transportation, I got treated like a criminal, I didn't get the coverage I paid for, I ended up with a rental but for less than 48hrs, forced to rush around to get my belongings and papers despite my injuries.
If you care about your car and are a car enthusiast in Canada, I can not recommend TD, unless you don't want your car back.
Only positive is they sent my money quick.
I have had nothing but issue after issue with my payments. With customer service. Trying to make me pay multiple months with two payments. I had it fixed and payments went up now once again they’re trying to make me pay two payments. I filed a damage claim back on August 5th. It’s almost been a month and no one has called me or contacted me. Not once. Once my claim is done, I am switching to another company and do not recommend TD to any.
Customer support is non-existent. Changed card for auto-renewal and paid bill. A month later policy is cancelled with no notification or communication from TD insurance then they scammed money out of partner to fix the issue of which they still didn’t. Now our rates will be up 3000$ if it’s not fixed.
Terrible people, terrible customer support.

Waited on hold for 3+ hours on 3 separate occasions over the past 24 months. There is also no option to be put in a queue and be phoned back, leaving you stranded on the line.
When requesting a renegotiation of my monthly payments they gave me no alternatives even when I informed them another company had made me a better deal.
Their customers are clearly not high on their priority list. It's a real shame considering I like banking with TD.
