Worst service ever!

Been with TD for a very long time - two cars, two homes. Rates are not bad but the service has really gone downhill. Waiting on a call for 2 hours - now how is this related to COVID. You do not have phone agents working from home? This is a way for the company to reduce staff costs and blame it on COVID - profit-driven. Terrible
I have been using TD insurance for the car for many many years now. Recently, their Customer Service has become so awful that it is almost like a nightmare. The only reason I am not taking out the business to somewhere else is the fear of talking to the Customer Service for cancellation. I would get my courage and TIME (wait for an hour with few call drops) to cancel with them. This is so ridiculous and unacceptable...
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.
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.
Fair warning here, always go to your dealer or a reputable auto shop when getting car repairs covered by TD Insurance. Not only is their shop extremely inefficient (had my car for 8 days for a minor repair) but they actually replaced my broken passenger mirror with a great used AND FAULTY PART! Forced me to waste more time to go get it checked out at my dealer and while the dealer could have fixed it in 10 minutes, TD made me go back to their crappy shop to get the part replaced. That’s three separate appointments, 9 days and counting and the repair still isn’t complete. Cheap used, broken parts, poorly installed and far too much time wasted.
I've been with TD Insurance (underwritten by Primmum) for almost 4 years, since moving to Alberta.
Initially, I got a great and affordable quote, but each successive year, with no tickets or accidents of any kind, I see my rates increase by increments of hundreds of dollars.
I called them to make some minor changes to my insurance a few weeks back, changing it from commercial to personal use, and notified them of an increase in kilometers driven to/from work. I was expecting to see my rate reduced by quite a bit due to changing to personal/commuter use, but the rep told me I wouldn't save much, and that he could add accident forgiveness to my policy and it would "break even". Well, next thing you know, my rates have increased by yet another 15%, making my annual insurance premiums DOUBLE what they were just 4 years ago - and again, no tickets, suspensions, accidents, nothing. Perfectly clean driving record.
So I jumped ship. Found another reputable insurer that quoted me less than TD originally did when I first signed up with them 4 years ago, which will save me about $700 this year.
Moral of the story: There are way more affordable insurers out there.
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.
After being with TD Insurance for almost 20 years, I can't wait to say good bye. With the move to another area of Ontario, my premiums for home & auto have increased by about $300 annually. I can accept that, but now they want 2 months payment up front on the day I move. It's a rip off!!!!
I had the claim with this insurer and they increased my premium without knowing the fact that i wasnt involve in the accident
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.
So I canceled my insurance as my vehicle was in a accident in 2023 I had a letter from td insurance telling me I was getting a refund issued back to my card of 1900 and received a check for 630. I call and the agent tells me there must have been a mistake on the letter now this is a insurance company and claiming they had made a error and refused to tell me what's going to happen to the 1200 the letter told me about. The claim process was nice but over all not the type of experience that a customer should receive.

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!
