Absolutely terrible

1 out of 5 stars
I bought insurance for both my cars. I was happy with the price and everything. Recently I sold one of my cars as it was not suiting me anymore. Have been trying to reach them on phone for 2 and a half hours now. Waiting and waiting. I have tried that before and usually, it takes ages to get connected. So I thought whatever I will just leave it as I have no time to deal with it until I buy my next car. So I wanted to experiment. I called them on my wife’s phone and it kept going and going for an hour. So I switched to my phone and did an insurance quote and stated I would like to be called later on to buy my insurance. Before I could close the internet tab I got called. Obviously, the connection interrupted and nobody tried calling me again. So I thought whatever. Dissatisfied with customer service as nobody gives a damn about paying customers but only new potential customers.
I have been with TD for many years. I have multiple cars and motorcycle insurance with them. Up till last year, I had my house insurance with them. They have decent rates and the best rates for my motorcycle that I have ever been able to find. The biggest reason I have given them only two stars is their customer service. It is absolutely unacceptable. I have spent multiple hours on hold with this company. Everyone has things to do in their life. We have careers, families, and all kinds of other things in life to take care of. Waiting on hold for hours at a time is completely unacceptable. Adopt a callback feature so people can go about their daily lives. We get it... you're busy. So are we. Get your act together soon or I am out. Too much time wasted listening to the same song playing over and over 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.
Our auto claim adjuster was so rude to us even though the accident we have is not our fault! She keeps on repeating: you don't have collision coverage! Yes, we know that but the thing is I know the policy procedure the one who hit us our car is the one to be liable for our damage. She is degrading us imagine. We are paying our premium and we are not-at-fault of the accident we had! We are being hit by a trailer truck last Aug 13 and since it is the fault of that other driver and seen also in the police report the insurance of that third party will be the one liable for our damage. Seriously this adjuster doesn't know how to handle things and even her client. I was trying to call her manager for so many times but she is not returning my call.
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!
Every time I call TD I am put in line and have to hold for over two hours for someone to finally be able to help me! Even after you get a customer service representative to help you they take forever to figure out what is actually going on and end up putting you on hold for another hour or so! Extremely annoying
I purchased a new vehicle and have been waiting on hold for almost two hours this is ridiculous!!! I was already considering getting quotes for other companies, now I will for sure! Will have a new insurance company very soon! Terrible, terrible service!!!
I've tried on 4 different occasions in 2 months to connect. I've waited over 2.5 hours each time and have not been able to get through. Good thing my inquiry is not urgent. The message says that due to current call volume... That's not true... How can CURRENT call volume be over 2 months. They need more service agents. People are out of work due to COVID... How about hiring more call agents?
You cannot send an email and every time you call you to wait over 1.5 hours to speak to someone. Their prices are not competitive and every time I tried to speak to someone about getting a better rate I was given false information and then told there was nothing they can do. Even once we spoke to a manager there was still nothing they can do. Very frustrating after spending so many hours on the phone for nothing. Today I was calling to cancel my policy since I got a better rate somewhere else... It has now been over 2 hours and nobody answers me. This is beyond nuts!
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.
Thankfully we haven't had to make any claims, god knows how long we'd have to wait for that!
Trying to cancel policy for one of our cars. I've been on the live chat queue for 35 minutes and moved 4 spaces. I've been on the phone for over an hour at this point and have yet to reach someone. It takes about 4 minutes just to get into a queue as the automated script won't shut up.
TD may be a bit cheaper than other insurers, but that's probably because you can never actually speak to anyone without going insane first.

The worst customer service I’ve ever received. Wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone. They can’t even provide you with basic documents. I've been calling for a tax letter of premiums paid for 6 months. Still have yet to receive it. I’ve made so many complaints and phone calls I’ve lost track. I’ve had managers call me only to say they will call me right back and then they don’t.
