Do not miss a payment

by zachery on Feb 4, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Had a payment bounce (my own fault sadly). Money was not an issue, had it sitting in my savings rather than a chequing account. I immediately noticed after payment was attempted, and put the money into the account. (Usually, if it is less than a 12 hour period, they will make a second attempt before completely writing you off)... Well not with these folks, they cancelled me immediately and requested the rest of the year of my insurance must be paid in full in order to remain insured. So I did. They put this on my record as a non-payment and screwed me really bad. Here I am over a year later trying to get myself a truck, or even a full-size SUV, because of them, I am not able to get insurance for less than 4500 per year.
Horrible attitude when I called about this, and not helpful at all. I felt like I was being treated like a criminal.

Now adding hidden fees

by Russ Lomas on Jul 9, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

After being with this company for 20 years, I am pissed off at them and looking to take my business elsewhere. Almost everyone pays their premium monthly and not annually. TD Meloche Monnex just decided to charge an extra 1.3% on top of your premium if you pay monthly. After talking to a supervisor just now, I was basically told a lot of other companies do this, so it is just the norm. None of the supervisor's comments were useful. "We are tracking how many customers we lose because of this to see if it is an effective change." So basically you are tacking on fees and telling me you will continue to do so until enough clients leave your company. I now will be spending the rest of the day shopping around for another insurance provider.

While I am sometimes discouraged to know that cheaper insurance can be bought elsewhere, I am reminded often enough that my claims experiences have been 100% satisfactory. Most recently my 17-year-old daughter wrote off my mini cooper. As soon as I called in the claim, I was immediately provided with a rental car. A few days later the insurance was looking after physio and massage for the minor whiplash and concussion injury of the accident. (She walked away from a nasty collision). After a few more days I received a cheque to pay out the loan on the mini. It was as much as I paid for the used car which I'd bought only 5 months earlier. I had no arguments, and the rep called to ensure my daughter was receiving proper treatment. In other claims (there have been a few), all 100% fault to the other drivers, I have been given 100% satisfactory service. After the mini write-off, my daughter's car insurance soared through the roof, but a few months later she was off to University away from home. I was able to list her as living away, and while still insured as an occasional driver when home for holidays and the summer, my rates returned to pre-accident normal, since she was the primary driver on the mini but now removed. Wow, $4500.00 can buy a lot of uber rides for her while away.

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.

How to reduce your premium

by CleverCanadian on Mar 15, 2017

They increased my insurance on renewal for my motorcycle, without any accidents or tickets, I called them and they connected me with loyalty dept which said they could not do anything.

I pulled a trick on my sleeve and that reduced my rates by over 700 a year. I went online on their website and pretended as if I am a new customer to get a quote and my motorcycle rate went down by $400 from my renewal rate. I called them again and told them what the crap is going on. They reduced my rates for motorcycle by 450, I asked them to review my car and home as well and saved additional 200 on car and 25 dollars on home.

Hope you can use this trick as well. lol

Argued for 3 weeks

by unimpressedwithtd on Nov 5, 2016

I was rear ended at a high rate of speed on the Gardiner, my car needed a new bumper, trunk, and gas tank. They bullied me into going to a 'recommended' shop (carstar), where carstar originally quoted me at 1600. When I contested the price, they came back in sheer spite and said 2400 for repairs. After 3 weeks of back and forth arguing with them to repair my truck, they refused to even touch it, and nothing was done at Carstar. This is after 3 weeks people.
They offered me 1600 to go get it repaired wherever I wanted to, but I would take on the responsibility for my own repairs. Hello? Who was at fault here? I was rear ended. They didn't even respond to my message about the massage therapy and the chiropractor. My adjustor refused to write anything in an email, and just wanted me to sign for a cheque. Obviously she knew she was violating my rights as a claimant and didn't want me to go to a lawyer with evidence.
Eventually, after 10+ phone calls, a manager approved the repairs at the mechanic of MY choice. Except it was my responsibility to organize a tow truck to take it there at MY expense. Luckily I had CAA roadside assistance to help.
My recommendation when dealing with them is to have everything done via email, so you have a paper trail when you require your own lawyer and appraiser to get out there and give you the true value of your vehicle. Stay away from TD, they do not have your back even when you are the victim.

Screwed by Security National

by About to be ex TD client on Jun 25, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

Three years ago, I cancelled my auto insurance on car "A" when I obtained car "B". Or at least that's what I requested. Three years later, I discovered that TD had continued to withdraw payments from my account every month. When I called to have TD address this, and even though I have been a TD Insurance customer for 30 years for my home and two cars, they said that they would reimburse me in the total amount of....$0!
Not very smart TD. I will gladly sue (and seek interest and cost), use every social media outlet available, and cancel my TD insurance accounts (for which I have paid TD over $100K in my lifetime).

Good Company - bad pricing

I have been with TD for almost 2 years. Never made any claims and now they are increasing my premium for no reason. No tickets anything. Upon talking to Customer Service, they told me, sir, we can't lower down than $2600, even with Sheridan College alumi discount. I now have insurance with Cheaftain insurance close to $2040.

Car written off - hail damage

by ericstewart22 on Aug 19, 2014
4 out of 5 stars

I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I've been with TD Meloche Monex / Security National Insurance Company for about 3 years now. My car suffered quite a bit of hail damage during a storm a few years ago and when I went to claim it, the process was quite straight-forward and no strings attached. The insurance company wrote off the car and refused to insure it without having significant superficial repairs done to the body work. This seems quite silly and wasteful to me, especially considering it's my premiums that pay for insurance pay-outs, to write-off a car because of superficial damage, but they weren't the only insurance company to tell me this. On the plus side, the adjuster gave me a great value for the car.
