Extremely long wait times

Awesome!!! Unless you need a claim handled! Then you’re on your own. 15 years I was with them! Good luck getting someone on the telephone... Just don’t! Don’t walk away, run! You’re warned!
I've been with TD Insurance for over 20 years. This is has been my experience:
1. They only care about new customers; not existing ones. The proof is that when you call, the wait time for the new customer line is typically under 5 minutes and for existing customers, it is at least 1 hour (if you are lucky). The trick is to select "new customer" when calling as they will still help existing customers when you select that option to skip the ridiculous wait times.
2. This past year, they raised my premium by 40%! I had no claims, no tickets and had the same car as the year before. When I called to inquire, they claimed it was because of "my area". That would mean that nearly everyone would have had to be in an accident with that type of increase! Even more unlikely during Covid. I contacted a broker and she found multiple carriers offering insurance at around 40%-50% less than what TD was offering.
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.
As if waiting to get his license during COVID wasn’t enough, I’ve been trying to get thru to TD Insurance for 4 days now with wait times being impossible! I stayed on the phone 3 times for over an hour and a half with the most annoying music and no person before I finally hung up. Several more times trying and waiting over 45 mins before hanging out. I tried online to add him to my insurance but still no luck. Incredibly frustrating for both myself and my son who can’t drive after waiting over a year to get his license!
2 hour plus wait time on the phone. Very painful! Over 2 hours on hold listening to the same song over and over again. TD obviously does not respect their clients time. Switching ASAP.
I have called 4 times to cancel due to wait times. App DOES NOT WORK, even after 3 calls to IT support. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
I have been with TD for more than 15 years.
Every year I thought it will get better next year but I think I was dreaming. I guess enough is enough. Very poor customer service. The staff is the script reader and has no focus on customer's needs. Long long wait times. Very frustrating.
I will never recommend this provider to anyone.
We have been with Meloche Monnex for probably 1996. Due to me being a professional engineer and apparent best rate.
We can say the first 10 years were great. 2nd 10 years - just pain with always calling to get my rates reduced as they always add extras. Now it is absolutely useless. Phone in number - forget it. Holds you for 15-20 mins then they hand up. Their driving app - probably the worst ever - try to call the help number - good luck. In 3 years - I have yet to reach anyone. The app is locked up for the last 2 years - no way to talk to someone. What a joke.
What a joke. I will be switching shortly. I found that another insurer has almost 50% less pricing! Don't waste your time.
Wait times are ridiculous, customer service is horrible. Rates double every year, no personal agent to deal with. I'll never use them again
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.
The wait time for any phone service is disastrous at the epic level.
To make matters worse, the agent you speak with gives you a quote and when you receive the documents, you find a totally different value.
Today, I tried to pay an outstanding balance through my TD Insurance account. The system locked me out for some unknown reason.
I called the number that was posted on the screen for me to call.
I am waiting for the fourth agent now to connect with me because all the previous three agents that I was connected to, each time one agent transfers me to another because he is certified to provide me access to my account to pay my outstanding bill.
Would you believe that?
Stay away from this company.
I can't wait for the policy to finish after which time I will definitely not go back with them!

Please avoid this company. On the phone for over 2 hours. Shop around! A customer service representative was rude and took over 2 hours to remove a truck off my policy
