Auto Insurance review

by Gatineau on May 30, 2019
4.5 out of 5 stars

I was involved in a collision at 0% at fault. The representative was helpful to explain things since I was new here in Canada. I have no issues in filing a claim. My claim was paid by La Capitale initially and I was scheduled this June 10 for my car repair. I hope this won't increase my premium next year.

Money thieves and no remorse

Do not use this insurance. The supervisors care more about the $ than keeping loyal clients. I had windshield replacement to do and when I arrived at the service station, I was told I had $500 deductible when it should have been max $250, as agreed upon over the phone. Our collision deductible is $500! We called La Capitale and they admit it was their fault that it didn't reflect the same agreed upon info in the contract. Our rep tried to amend our insurance policy and her supervisor advised her not to, he didn't want to help in any way. He clearly decided that losing a client was better than amending the contract they had made a mistake on. I am now out $250 and looking for a new insurance company of course. Take your money elsewhere.

Insure at your own risk!

All I can say is good luck if you chose to go with La Capital. You will surely need a lot of it. Words will never be good enough to describe how bad your experience will be when you make a claim.

Worse insurance company ever. Never answer your questions on the phone and refuse to do anything other than tell you to read the letter they are sending in the mail.
Absolutely useless and unhelpful.
To avoid!!

Unreachable claims department

by Eric0073 on May 9, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

I had wind/hail damage on my SUV last week, so I was hoping to get some nasty looking dents and scratches fixed. Filling a claim is easy, but despite calling several times every day to get my claims processed, I have yet to reach anyone! It always goes straight to voice mail. I also emailed, asked to speak to the claims' person's supervisor, you name it, and nothing. I found out that they only have a couple staff to handle claims like mine, so them picking up or returning your call is like winning the lottery. Needless to say, I'm shopping for a new insurer.

Stay Away from La Capitale

by La Capitale S*ucks on Mar 2, 2018

Worst insurance company ever! Worst experience ever with an automobile insurance company after a claim, they don’t like to pay out, only good to take your money. Even their complaint department is useless! Stay away from this company.

Huge cancellation fee

by Disappointed in Montreal on Oct 2, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I had 2 cars insured with La Capital, but recently sold one of them to lease a new one. When I was looking for insurance for the new car, I found a MUCH better rate (~2/3 of the price), with another company, to insure both of my cars. When I cancelled my insurance with La Capitale, however, I was charged a fee of $15 for one car, which was near the end of its contract, and $115 for the other, which was ~6 months from the end of its contract (that's almost 1/4 of the annual premium). The one that I was charged more for had been insured with La Capitale for 8 years, but apparently every time the insurance was renewed, it was for a new 2-year policy (fine print?). The idea of being charged a cancellation fee after insuring my 2 cars for 8 and 14 years respectively strikes me as a ridiculous cash grab. La Capital now has $130 more of my money than I would have liked... but I will NEVER insure anything else with them. That $130 has cost them what could have amounted to thousands/tens of thousands of dollars in car/home insurance premiums in the future. That's not just bad customer service... it's bad business.

Be aware

I had my insurance with La Capitale when someone did a hit and run with my car. I called them explaining it wasn't a big damage, so I was told they will fill only the information not as a claim and send me someone to review and estimate the damage before claim it. As per the price to repair that it wasn't that big, about 300$, I repaired myself. I called them to let them know I won't claim that hit and run and they said OK it won't be as a claim on your file. After 2 years I moved to another company because they offered me better price and I found La Capitale put in my file the hit and run as a claim and even saying they paid for the repair...1500$. More over they had the garage invoice where supposedly repaired my car. After called them for months I had to do all the paper work to get this fix, which was too much to do. I had to wait couple of year more to have a clean file. Thanks La Capitale !!!

La Capitale is Fraud

by Ryan on Jan 20, 2017

I got into an accident in 2016. I gave them everything and filled out all the forms. Doctors letter, employers letter, police report and accident report. 4 weeks later I got a call from Theresa W; she said everything that was provided, was fake. Really police report, Dr's letter and accident report were fake. I asked her how can you fake everything. I argued with her. She said "Sir, you talk too much", When I signed up for the private claim insurance, the Broker told me, La Capitale will not ask you for anything "no question asked" as long as you provide all the documents... They lie about everything and it is a fake company. I got all my friends to cancel the policy with them. You should do that as well. As soon as possible.

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.
