overpriced late taking payment

1.5 out of 5 stars
For 3 days I've been trying to reach TD Insurance. I've waited on hold for 14 hours total. I even set alarms to call right when they say the line opens (both today and yesterday). All I want is to update my contact info so that I can access my policy. When I try to do this online, it says I need to call in, but nobody answers the phone. They don't care at all about their policyholders. This is a nightmare, and this is horrible customer service. There was no delay in taking my payment however - that was processed immediately!
They are harder to reach than Bell Canada and Rogers combined but if that's not bad bad enough, you have to hear French while you wait for hours for no one to answer.
This has been going on since Covid started and that's the excuse they're using.
I've been with them for a long time but it's time to go, they are completely useless now.
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.
Been on hold for 4 hours
Coming up on 19:00 Eastern
No Estimated wait time
Just mind-numbing music record loop
This is how TD Treats existing customers now.
I am going to follow APEGA's advice and change to another insurer
Something is wrong with this company. It's like they don't want to be in the insurance business anymore. I've been with them for over 20 years and will be moving all my business elsewhere.
Waited over an hour on the phone just to renew my home insurance in October. Will be finding someone else next year.
After they raised my auto-renewal premiums by 20% for no reason (20+ years accident-free), I shopped around and found another broker that was 60% less expensive. When trying to call them to let them know I won't be renewing, the phone system indicated a 1 to 2-hour wait just to talk to a rep.
Last week I tried to obtain a TD Insurance car quote online about 7 times, each of them ending "we are experiencing issues..., contact us 1-877...) So I called and ended up listening to the hold music for 2h 48m for TD Insurance Call Centre agent. After I got a quote, I was given a case number and was instructed to call back with a VIN number once I have the car. I asked whether there is another number for already existing pre-filled quotes and learnt that no, I would have to call 1-877 again and wait for over 2 hours to get a policy. Today, I spent 3h 56 minutes from 12:03pm to 3:59pm listening sickening music that makes you brain dead, after which the call dropped. As I need to pick up my car today and I do not have another policy, I called back. It has been already 2h 12m as I am on the second bout of sickening hold music, completely drained after the current total 6 h 8 minutes hold. And I don't know how it will go once I reach 4 hours again.
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
Impossible to contact this company and the online system is a nightmare! Go elsewhere. Imagine having an accident and not being able to contact, imagine buying a new car and you can't contact... it happens all the time! I can't wait till my contract is up I am going to-another company...
They refuse to pay a claim as they give you the run around for over a year but still take their money out of your bank account for over a year on a vehicle that you don't even have anymore. It still hasn't been resolved.
Moved from one location to another and my insurance premium went up 1000$! It's 20 min away from my current place and although it's 20 min drive away from my current place and 10 min away from Sheppard and Yonge the new rate and TD customer service of up selling their products at this time of COVID completely pissed be off!
Ontario government needs to do something about car insurance companies!!!
It has been so impossible to contact my TD Ins., I have had to cancel my insurance policy via snail mail ($11.35 Canada Post). I received a notice on Oct. 27th that this was done, and that I would be receiving a refund. Instead of a refund, they debited my account for the amount of the reimbursement. I have sent another registered letter ($11.35 Canada Post) to get the money back they took, to obtain my policy cancellation refund and to pay the postage costs I endured. To debit someone's account without authorization is illegal. The fact that this is done by a bank is worrisome. The letter was posted on Nov. 6th, I await a response.

Overpriced paying $100 less than my truck payments and have a clean driving record. They never take out money when they are supposed to say on my yearly bill chart that payments are going to be taken on the 18th of every month but rarely ever do its usually either my car insurance or my rental insurance one day and the other a day or 2 later. Then if I don't notice they haven't taken it and use it I get charged $45 by the bank and get a late fee from them when if they would take it out when they are supposed to the money would be there
