The Personal Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Our car was hit in our condo parking lot while it was parked. The offenders had personal. Their inability to return phone calls and relay information back to the victims caused massive delays in repairs, and we wound up getting charged insurance for the rental vehicle while ours was being repaired. Now in the process of disputing that charge, but not holding out much hope. Avoid at all costs!

They took off the insurance on the car that was in circulation! I was driving thé car without collision and responsibility for 5 months! They just told me that "we made a mistake and we would have covered you in case of a claim" i can imagine the hassle that I would have gone through if ever I had a big claim! I wanted some sort of a rebate or a credit for their mistake too keep me as a satisfied customer but they did not want anything! I will take find another company and cut them loose! Stay away from them and their parent company Desjardins!

This is one of the worst companies in existence. When I screw up I pay, when they screw up I still ended up paying.

I had home and auto insurance with them, but somehow the addresses for the two were different and I never got my insurance card. They were sending it next door constantly and I kept calling and saying "I don't have it, I don't have it". None of them looked at THEIR FILES to see that the two unit numbers were different. I got ticketed 2 times for not having my insurance card, but when I confronted them they blamed me for it. How is it MY FAULT that THEIR FILES are incorrect? I guess I should have gone by and inputted my own information. As well someone put a false claim through after they tried to scam money from me for an "accident" and they wanted $2000 out of my pocket, when I told them to drop dead, they filed a claim, when I told the insurance what happened, they put an at fault accident on my record for something where there was NO PAYOUT AND NO DAMAGE. Amazing how I am now treated by the insurance industry like a criminal when I have paid my insurance for 12 years and have never had a pay out against me.

Never use this horrible company, they are rotten. I would give them negative stars if I could. They are one of the most unreliable people and you will be sorry for using their services because they will screw you on purpose.

I was shopping for car insurance, as my former insurer was getting too pricey. The agent at The Personal seemed nice enough, and the rate was oddly much lower than any company I had called, including brokers, esp for the area I live in and the car I drive. However, when asked if he could send me a copy of the quote detailing the premium along with the principle amount I would be paying for each type of coverage, he stated,

"Sorry, we can't do that. You need to sign up first, then we'll send you all the paperwork to review."

Shouldn't you send me everything first so I can REVIEW it and THEN sign off on the documents? Why would anyone sign up for insurance first and then look over the documents? That makes NO sense! Even with the lowest premium, their conduct of business seemed odd and when I inquired with another company, they said that what they asked of me was ILLEGAL!

I felt the agent rushed me just to sign me up.
Needless to say, I had to go with the 2nd best option I had.

I had an accident and totalled my car. Estimate deemed the car is a total loss. An initial agent took down claim information was good and helpful. Once the claim was assigned to the claim agent, this is where the communication breaks down. My coverage includes car rental, so I had it for a week and I did not hear any word from claim agent, so I thought I'll call and check to see when I can expect the result but could not get a hold of agent, so I left her 3 voicemails three days in a row, no callback. Weekend went by, called her back to check again, still could not get a hold of her, asked for help with another agent, which she told me, she will put comments on the claim to have my claim agent call me. A couple of days went by, still no phone call. Really frustrated, it seems they don't really care. It would be nice to call and tell your client what to expect and how much it would take....once the renewal comes, I'm done with this insurance company. Hope this helps those people that want to buy insurance from this company....stay away... unless you have the patience to wait.

Very unprofessional staff... my car got hit and run by someone in the parking lot. I called the company for a claim... an agent working on my claim is very unprofessional or you can say lacks knowledge or lazy (doesn't want to work). I don't know what's wrong with her .. very rude and ignores my emails like that was my fault. I asked them if I could change the advisor, they said no. I asked if I could talk to the manager, they said no. Like seriously? They're just ignoring me. Even they don't have to pay for anything because I've already provided them with the info about the driver who hit my car in the parking lot and drove away. That's a hit and run case and police already caught that guy... first and worst experience ... total waste of money if you're getting insurance from this company.

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.
