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.

premium up - no other driver

by scam on Jul 24, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

I received my renewal. My premium is $1202 and the premium for the occasional driver is $262 for a total premium of $1464. I phoned to remove the occasional driver and now my premium is $1460 - what?! The staff at the loyalty dept could not explain why my premium did not stay at $1202. He told me there are many calculations behind the scene and that's what the calculation is. I told him I'm the same driver with or without the occasional driver, and the occasional driver has no impact on my driving skill. He says the car is more available to me now that the occasional driver is no longer insured. The fact is the occasional driver can still drive my car with my permission for the same amount of time and without insurance. I asked him to explain the advantage of having the occasional driver insured. His explanation: without the occasional driver insured, an accident claim will affect my premium; and get this, WITH the occasional driver insured, an accident claim WILL affect my premium. I told him that reasoning is absurd because there is no difference. He was not capable of explaining any further. I was on the phone with him for 20 mins. I've been with them since 1988 (30 years!). He thanked me for my loyalty and offered $40 off my house insurance. I asked that if he was so appreciative of my loyalty, why was the $40 discount not offered up front on my original renewal. It's all lip service. What a scam!

Non-competitive pricing

by AngryDave on Jun 4, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

For reasons that were not clearly explained, they increased my insurance costs by over $200 a year. Got insurance elsewhere for $250 less a year. Tried telling them that their pricing was not competitive. They don't care. Ended up calling half a dozen times to try and fix this, finally went elsewhere. Remember, insurance is a commodity service you can get anywhere. If they treat you poorly, there is no reason to deal with them. Take your business elsewhere like I did

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.

Nightmare Claiming Experience

by Leo Liu on Jun 19, 2017
1.5 out of 5 stars

I got T-boned by someone who didn't stop at a stop sign. I am not at fault.

TD insisted on writing off my car, and the settlement they offered is way lower than the market price.

I tried to argue, despite my doctor's suggestion that I should avoid thinking too much due to my injury in the accident. But TD didn't care at all and they even lowered their settlement price. I also tried to complain and to talk to the ombudsman. But they are all bouncing me around between adjuster, manager, customer service etc... At one point they even thread me by saying that they have so many lawyers and welcome me to bring the case to court.

I have never had any issue with TD until I filed this claim. But is it the reason why I buy insurance?

Avoid this company, you had my suggestion.

How to reduce your premium

by CleverCanadian on Mar 15, 2017
4 out of 5 stars

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.

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.

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).
