The Personal Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

They don't deserve even 1 star. I recommend to change your insurance from the Personal before it is too late. They are not good with the communication, follow up with your claims, booking for repairs. If you have time to deal by yourself then stay with them because they will not do until you push them.

I am writing this review while waiting for the call agent. It is 1 hour and 35 minutes now. No Answer. They think that I have a whole day for this.

I was on hold for over 90 minutes to speak with an agent, with the goal of adding to my coverage. Over 90 minutes to give this company more of my money. Not only is the jingle the most unpleasant I think I've ever experienced, but their website promotion ad also runs every 60 seconds. Unfortunately, the website will not provide the info needed beyond seeing your current policy. I feel for the staff that are slowly being replaced by a non-useful website.

I am 72! I have had motorcycle coverage with them for about 10 years - no claims. Called to enquire if there are any discounts due to COVID 19 and the answer is no. And my monthly payments have been increasing for 3 months. I pay monthly for 12 months. I have ridden 350 km as of the date of the call this year. The representative was rude & hung up on me. I will never deal with this company again.

This company is terrible. I would highly recommend you LOOK ELSEWHERE! They are completely inept and plain RUDE. While trying to get some answers about a claim filed over 6 months ago, I was put on an extraordinarily long hold, passed over to an agent who was unaware of the day of the week, put on another hold and then passed over to another agent who was eager to start that process all over again. They DO NOT respect their client's time and must be taught a lesson in business value! They also stumble over facts and misrepresent details and are very ill-informed thus wasting more time. Then, on top of all that, they hang up on me and now I am on hold for another 1.5 hours. As I said, overpriced, under-serviced with NO CLUE as to the value of customer's time! STAY AWAY!

I got a quote for my car from their website and indicated myself as a non-group general customer. On the quote clearly mentioned: " This quote doesn’t include savings you may be eligible for through your employer, professional association, union and/or credit union." Their customer service raised my quote $90 more because I was not part of any group or association and their management excuse was "on the below of the email, it mentioned the quote is not guaranteed." They are not reliable and their system is not accurate. They address their pricing on reasons are not valid and reasonable. Happy I didn't start with them. I am sure, later they will raise their price for other excises as well. Don't even try or waste your time.

This company is TERRIBLE! My wife was SIDE SWIPED by another driver. She was in her lane, she was in control when another vehicle lost control. Another driver then lied to her insurance company coming up with some out of this world story about would my wife apparently lost control in the completely opposite direction she was travelling and they were both at fault... I talked with an accident investigator and he said what she told her insurance company was a physical impossibility. I told this to the Personal and they basically told me to get over it. They are the WORST insurance company I have EVER dealt with in my 16 years of having insurance! Stay away, stay FAR AWAY from this company. They're happy to take your money and happy to do nothing to represent you at all!

As someone who has worked in the insurance industry for more than 8 years, I hate being lied to by people who are supposed to be "experts." If you have a claim with this company, get ready for the run around of your life. I filed a claim back in January and only resolved it this week. I did everything that I was told to do, submitted all the documents and was told I would be contacted as soon as possible. Fast forward three weeks later and I had called and e-mailed for some sort of update. I told my advisor that I needed my car fixed by the middle of February because I had a new job in another province. I literally begged my advisor's help which was followed by silence. Meanwhile, my claim was denied weeks prior because their adjustor couldn't determine the damage, to the car, which did not make sense to me as I provided all the information they needed. I was even told that the adjustor physically went to the shop to see my car. I called the shop as soon as I found this out, only to be told that that was a lie. Long story short, I spent more than 10 hours on the phone speaking to multiple people, told that I had to pay for all the repairs and to submit the documents. It was a wonderful time borrowing money from family members and also being told that my job was given to someone else because I was going to be 2 weeks late. When my original advisor finally got back to me, I was told that they went on vacation. So glad their priorities were in check, and if you're curious, they had a wonderful time. They had no remorse for what they put me through that I hung up on them in disgust. They do not care about you at all. Remember, these people are so desensitized that you are nothing more than a voice on the other line. The best part is that you can not even escalate the call, you are stuck...

We only claimed $385 for an ambulance and then when we are about to transfer to another company we discovered in the claim description that we've claimed $3,001! That's how greedy they are! Then when I spoke to the claim agent, he yelled at me on the telephone, what horrible customer service! You need to stay away from this insurance company at all costs!

Like many other comments, I have had similar experiences with this company regarding filing a claim. To make a long story short, while on vacation out of province my vehicle was hit while parked. This company should hire me to work for them seeing as I had to do the majority of the work for my claim myself. Including when booking my return flight back after being hounded on short notice to pick my vehicle up from the garage. So after working nights and travelling provinces, I arrive at the approved repair garage to find out my car still requires repairs. I contacted the person who offered no solution or even any sense of accountability since they limit your choices for body shops. This is a warning to others if you have a new vehicle do not use this insurance company, they don't care for their customers (car members) they are only out to line their pockets off of the Canadian military. The only reason why they even have a star on this website won't let anyone rate them lower.
