TERRIBLE service stay away!!!

by C on Feb 4, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

TERRIBLE customer service and prices. Stay away!!! Tried to switch my home insurance over as I was paying significantly more than other companies were offering, plus had lower coverage with The Personal. Was told that I can’t switch 'cause they changed companies and if I did, my auto insurance would significantly go up. Absolutely terrible experience with this company. Nothing the person on the phone was telling me was making any sense as compared to letters I had gotten in the main etc. from this company.

The Personal auto insurance is the worst I ever run into. The customer service didn't resolve your concerns. I wonder, how such organization exists in Canada.

really sucks

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.

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.

Outrageous

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.

Personal insurance review

by Previous client on Jan 3, 2019
1 out of 5 stars

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.

HORRIBLE!!!

Three weeks ago I was in a collision with a woman (her fault) whose insurance provider is The Personal Insurance Company. My Insurance company contacted them twice and I've called them 6 times, and no one will call me back. I know I have a claim number and an adjuster, but they won't contact me. The woman, who hit me, reported the claim to them the next day. Do they figure I'll just give up if they don't call me?

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.

WORST AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY!

by Still without Car on Nov 12, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

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.

Suddenly 10% increase...

by Paulgh on Nov 10, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

I've been with the Personal for the last 11 years. No changes in address, no claims, nothing...and suddenly this year JUST a 10% increase in my premium ...of course with some lame reasons...they have to pay claims because there are a lot of distracted drivers on the roads ...and so on...I don't remember me as being a part of the сompany profit and loss sharing... This has to STOP... One star rating is a little too much ..but I cannot put 0 or go in minus...

Liers, scammers, criminals

Do you want to experience an official criminal activity? You got it. Get an insurance with the Personal and try to process a claim. I had 3 consecutive worst experiences. They lie to you. They will never process your claim. Update incorrect records. Not provide you with a rental car. Not send an estimator as promised. Blame you for everything. Long wait times. Repeat the same story to different people when you call... Move out to anyone who can do better as I am doing now...

Unknown high Cancellation Fees

by CalgaryConsumer on Sep 21, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

The most horrible experience when I tried to cancel my policy. Highly disappointed. Agents don't know how that cancellation fee is being calculated. Spent 2 hours with 5 different agents and no one had any idea why $120 is being charged. Next day an agent called me and did some math which made absolutely no logic. No respect for the customer, no explanation. I was with this insurance company for 2.5 yrs but this doesn't matter to them at all. Other Insurance company provided a better policy at a much cheaper rate and no charges on cancellation if I stay with them for 1 month. (With Personal I was for 2.5 yrs...)
