It took two days to add a second vehicle to my policy. I have them everything short of my DNA. Very bad experience. I'm going to be looking for another insurance company. The insurance goes up in price and the quality goes way down.
I would never recommend this company for insurance to ANYONE. Honestly, they are not even friendly on the phone, they lied about information when you need their help and support about your file. They are not polite and not professional. I would give 0 out of 5 for this insurance company. It's also very frustrating that some staff are rude and impolite.
Honestly. Just don't do it. The worst experience I've ever had. Sending the claim online is easy, everything else is an uphill battle that will find you hella broke from paying for everything out of pocket while waiting for this company. They ignored all attempts at contact from the auto body shop, myself, and my chiropractor. After almost a month (yes, 3+ weeks) of trying to get a hold of someone (their claim adjusters don't answer your calls and never return messages), I was told that they didn't have a record of my claim (although I received email confirmation that my claim was received and approved). When I asked for the contact information for the manager and director, they got sketchy and did not want to provide that information to me. It took another lifetime for them to send out an adjuster to the body shop and get me a rental car. I'm still waiting for a call back from the claims adjuster and management... Honestly, do NOT get insurance from this company. Just don't do it. This company doesn't even deserve 1 star. If I could give less than 1, I would.
I was happy until there was a claim. I was unlucky to have two back to back incidents and opened my eyes to how big of a scam artists these guys are. They lie, they don't want to pay, constant battle. As soon as these claims are closed, I am switching. Don't fall for their cheap rates.
I have been insured with the Personal for about 20 years. I was always extremely happy with their service until recently and have had 2 bad experiences just in the past year that have made me seriously think of looking elsewhere. First, my husband was considering purchasing a new vehicle and cost was a real issue. We contacted the Personal and were quite happy with the amount they quoted us and this was literally the deciding factor in purchasing the car. Fast forward 4 months to our policy renewal and the premium has increased by $100 a month with no changes in the policy. The second issue is with our homeowner's policy. We had damage to our roof after a windstorm in May. Their contractor took almost 3 weeks to tarp our roof after not showing up twice when they were supposed to. It was like pulling teeth to get a copy of their quote for the damage and the copy I was sent from the Personal is more than $400 less than the quote I was given by their contractor. The claims adjuster paid out the claim at an even lower amount and when questioned, he says that their “review” team must have determined that some of the repairs are not required but cannot give me details. It is now August and still have a tarp on the roof and repeated emails and voice messages to the claims adjuster, over the past 4 weeks have had no response. Not impressed to say the least!
If you don't want to waste your money, go to a different insurance company. They have poor customer service and worst service. You file a claim they will ignore and won't even bother to defend their own clients. If you're looking for a CHEAP and IRRESPONSIBLE INSURANCE, GO WITH WESTERN DIRECT/THE PERSONAL INSURANCE.
We have been waiting for the settlement for more than 2 weeks since we claimed the accident. I was hit by the other party from behind on the tire. Since it's not safe to drive the vehicle anymore, we have been asking the adjuster many times in two weeks and keep on being told to wait for the other insurance company confirmation. We are frustrated and don't want to be their customers anymore.
I think they hire complete idiots. Let's assign you a Claims adjuster that DOESN'T call you or even call you back after 5 attempts. Oh wait, let me WORK FOR YOU and not the other way around. What kind of insurance company makes their clients chase them around for assistance? Am I on some strange planet where customer service is non-existent? One more thing...oh let's have your car towed to a Speedy Auto Glass that doesn't actually do glass repair. I'm simply annoyed. I am switching. Don't bother with THE PERSONAL - unless you wanna deal with idiots and spend half your day chasing them around.
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.
Worst experience ever with having a claim, my adjuster spent more time out of the office, never returned phone calls, didn’t follow up! And because of this I have a storage balance of over 5000, did the BBB and looking into a lawsuit! Asked for supervisor/ manager to call me back and nothing! But you bet they take my payments out each and every month! The Personal is a scam! And I have started to look for new insurance!
The Personal insurance really sucks. Customer service was totally a disaster. I was assigned an adviser for my auto claim. Never took my call, and I wrote her 7 emails, after more than 1 week, didn't even got a reply. Also, the adviser said because they don't have the other driver's insurance information, they won't give back my deductible. The reality was, I saw the police report, and the other driver 's insurance was very clear. One more thing makes me even more angry, your complaint was useless. They are very disrespectful.
