Worst Insurance Company ever

I was a customer of TD auto insurance in Kingston, Ontario, for one year with a new car. And most of this year is the pandemic year 2020, which means minimum driving. I just drove 3000km with no claims and no records of any kind. My reward for my good driving history is the increase of 20 dollars in my monthly payment during the renewal process. I asked them to rethink my rate, and they told me to cancel. And I did it immediately. It is frustrating that these companies rob us of high charges, and there is no one in Canada to protest it.
I had TD Auto insurance for 3 years now. Each year my rates went down. Not by much but down. Completely clean record. My insurance just renewed and my premium went up to $900. That's right!!! I went from $176 monthly to $246 monthly when it should have gone down. Their explanation was due to COVID. How is that my problem? Needless to say, I will be taking my business elsewhere!
I have both home and auto. I have questions and have tried multiple times to reach them by phone (leave it on speaker so I can continue with activities) and eventually give up. They have sent me two identical invoices for my home and have raised my auto insurance. One is due tomorrow and another due next month. Do they have any employees at all? I would give them a zero!
Because of COVID 19 and the work from home policy, I took advantage of the COVID program for 4 months. After requesting to reinstate my insurance, they just increased my monthly payment by 35% of what I was paying before. No scruple! I have to wait until the end of my contract to move out. Stay away from them...
I had a not-at-fault motor vehicle accident in 2018. I went through 7 adjusters and had to contact the insurance ombudsman to get any action. Then as an apology, they were sending a 50 visa gift card that 3 months later was not received. What a joke! The next year my premiums went up to $150.00, now this year up another 250.00 absurd! When I called to complain about my premium which I was given 24 days renewal notice, again, not acceptable! After being on hold for 2 hours and 24 mins all I kept being told was apologies, for the wait time, and all the insurance companies were going up to mine 15%. I informed the girl that during my 2 hour wait time I had time to get many quotes all less than what I am paying currently! One with a big name was the same as my new premium but insuring both my 4 runners and my husband's Toyota truck with full coverage. She then proceeded to tell me that she can lower my premium by removing full coverage on my vehicle. Seriously? After 35 years + banking with TD and insurance with them for 25+ years, then can take a hike! Avoid them at all costs! No COVID relief either thanks TD for a whole lot of nothing!
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.
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.
I have been trying to get hold of them and they put me in hold for hours. They increased my premium without providing any explanation. They are very expensive and should not be in business.
Have anyone expected with calling during COVID times. My experience with TD insurance is very bad. Last month I spent a few hours waiting on the call and it took a few times to reach someone. I requested to add some on my contract and change the address. Sure my addition has increased the cost but they didn’t change the address on my new agreement. Also, I don’t receive any pink card from them. I try to reach them a few days and my calls were cut off after waiting for 3 hours.
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.
Over two hours on hold with them prior to COVID. Since then I had to call them twice to cancel my insurance with them I've spent 7 hours on hold with them in the last week just trying to get my last month's payment out of them. By the way, even if the customer service representative won't cancel your insurance for you when you call they won't give you your last month/deposit back they charge you the exact amount of money to cancel. When you buy your insurance with them they say you going to pay the first and last month's insurance payment but that's not the truth. They actually charged me $260 upfront and my insurance was quoted at $117. I was supposed to get half of that back but they just do what insurance companies are good at the lie and lie some more to take your money and when you have a claim they will do everything in there power not to pay you. Also, they didn't even call me to spike my insurance premium they just took money out of my bank account without my permission!!! Also, they will not communicate with you via email so you have to spend a ton of time on the phone just waiting to talk to a person that really only seems to be interested in taking your money! Because of my experience with this company, I will never even consider using TD bank for anything not even for a mortgage. They have lost a customer for life. There are cheaper better rates out there too. With better companies. I save $40 a month by switching with the same coverage!

TD is by far the worst insurance company. Extremely long waits over 2.5 hours if you are trying to reach out to customer service. If you are lucky enough to get connected (in case the call doesn't drop) the agents are rude and are not interested to listen to your concerns. TD make changes to your policy on their own and jack up your premium and start withdrawing money from your account without even informing you. Stay away from TD at all costs.
