Do not go with them

Warning!!! Do not do with this company. Been almost two months of being ignored just to be given a low ball offer on a car that shouldn't have been written off. They are a scam. You've been warned if you read this

Great experience

by Cindy Gittens on Jul 9, 2021
4.3 out of 5 stars

I have been with this Insurance company for 25 years. My husband had an accident with our new SUV. The entire experience with Wawanesa was excellent. They arranged for us to have a car for the week our vehicle was in the garage. They suggested a garage even though we could have chosen any garage we wanted and they did a great job. The vehicle came back to us exactly as it had looked in the showroom. I have absolutely no issues with Wawanesa at all.

Deception at its highest level

Wawanesa and it's actually "hub international" is very deceptive insurance they will go to your bank account and steal from you without notifying you. If this doesn't scare you then I don't know what would. These are thugs with a license to steal. Stay away, advise your family and friends to stay away. This is the most dishonest broker that I've ever dealt with in my life... Once you sign up with them you are in for a long miserable year with plenty of surprises. From doubling your rates by 50% without notifying you to withdraw double the monthly rate. They were charging me for 2 cars instead of 1 for years. We demand the RCMP to investigate this broker in Windsor Ontario. For fraud and unauthorized transactions and a lot more!

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.

They flush me for no reason

Short story, I'm a good driver for 20 years now. No accidents in a decade. 2019, il receive a small rock on my windshield. I made a repair in a local shop, and after the repair, a huge crack appears in the windshield (straight for the repair). I need to change my windshield under a reclamation. Next year, 2020, I hurt a fire pit in a SEPAQ national park. My bumper needed a replacement (+/- 2000$). That's it, NOTHING ELSE. They refuse to renew my contract, and now I'm not insurable anymore. THANK YOU WAWANESSA

Horrible Customer Service

by Shawn M on Feb 25, 2021

I have recently had a pretty bad experience with this company. I would strongly recommend you think twice before considering them for your insurance needs. Back in 2018, I had an accident, a minor accident in which there was no claim paid. The Wawanesa representative I dealt with was awful to deal with and was not on my side at all and would not reply to my inquiries. This individual was responsible for determining fault, as well as dealing with claims yet she didn't even understand the Alberta Traffic Act. I was shopping around for insurance quotes, upon doing so discovered they had placed an at-fault accident on my file. They did so without consulting me about it. Further, the fact that they didn't pay out the claim in this accident tells me that there wasn't enough fault to do so. My opinion is that this was placed upon my file to prevent my being able to get a better deal on my insurance elsewhere.

I had an accident about 2 weeks ago and still I have not got my claim processed. They are finding ways to deny my claim. Bad experience

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.

New driver again, and I'm 51

by Mike N Ike on Jun 27, 2020

May 2019, they said my insurance would be 675 a year, I didn't have insurance the year before cause I had to sell my car so I could survive. Insurance was over 1100 which I paid, they said it would be 675 for this year. I got an invoice, it was over 1400. I'm 51, no accidents, been driving 36 years. This is the 4th time in my life I'm a "new' driver again, this is wrong!

Not bad, but too expensive..

I was paying 250 a month originally, someone cut me off on the road and I had ended up rear-ending them. The claim was okay, I reported it to their after-hours staff I believe, immediately and someone got back to me in a few days. My car was a write off (old 2006 vehicle). I had to reach out to them a few times and hassle them and eventually it was settled on a fair offering based on MSRP of the vehicle, and even told me they'd change it if I could find a better price (which I couldn't due to not many vehicles of the same km and features). My monthly went up to 355 thereafter. Now it has been a year and has gone up again to 418 a month. After I consult them on the changes, they give me it's-just-how-it-is explanation due to my past claim. But overall, they provided me with a rental for work, everything was pretty decent. Now I am searching for a new company that aligns with my old rate. But all the companies have similar negative reviews and people telling me to stay away...

The worst of the worst

Don’t go near this company. Cost us thousands. Their lower rates will cost you when you claim.

Horrible company!

I was rear-ended by a Wawanesa policyholder in October 2019, flash forward to (almost) February 2020 and I am still waiting on my settlement. They wouldn’t return a call for the longest time, due to saying “We can’t claim until our policyholder calls us back”. After they get an appraiser to look at your car, (3 months after the accident) they want to low ball you on the settlement. Now that I have agreed to a reasonable settlement they are harassing me about salvaging the car. NO SETTLEMENT CHECK - NO CAR! I can not afford to wait another three months to get the check to purchase another car. Has been by far the worst customer service I have ever dealt with. If you are in an accident with someone who has this insurance company, good luck! If you are thinking about purchasing a policy with them, go somewhere else. A very shady and rude company!
