Can never get ahold of someone... Hours on the phone waiting on hold...

1 out of 5 stars
In August, I called to get tenant's insurance for a new place in Alberta starting September 1. I asked for my Ontario tenant's insurance policy to be cancelled on September 5. My auto and tenant insurance was bundled. The representative I spoke with wasted 2 hours of my time by constantly repeating to himself that I need to wait to cancel my auto insurance until I’m in Alberta. I already knew this and was simply wanting to deal with the tenant's insurance in that call. On September 14 I got my car inspection done so called to switch my auto insurance to Alberta. That’s when I found out it was also cancelled on September 5 so I have unknowingly been driving uninsured. I have spent 24 hours trying to resolve this. Constantly being put on hold for transfers to other agents. Hung up on multiple times. Was promised a call back which I never received. Out of all the people I have spoken with only one was apologizing. I was told there is no management or customer care for me to speak with. I am currently supposed to be receiving another call back by the end of the day today but I don’t trust that to happen and can not continue driving uninsured so have gone ahead and gotten insurance through a brokerage here in Calgary with no insurance history even though I have been insured with no breaks since 2010.
Please please do not give this company your money. Save yourself and go with someone else.
I have never had a claim or issues. But to just cancel I had to wait 5 hours. Their call-back option was 5 days later.
Stay 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.
My premium has gone up by 48% from the last term to this coming term, which is appalling! I was involved in an accident in November, which was zero fault of my own. I was safely driving on the highway when I was hit by a truck that pushed me into other cars - it was a horrible experience, but was not due to my driving - so why have my insurance rates gone up so much and so suddenly. We are supposed to have “no-fault” insurance, and my driving behaviour has not changed - I have had no fines, tickets or points, and have an excellent driving record. Also, because I was never offered Gap or Depreciation insurance on my policy - I had to pay $11,000 out of my savings to cover my car loan. THIS is AWFUL SERVICE, and I want to be sure to share with others my experience I have always been very happy with all things associated with President’s Choice, so I am very disappointed.

So disappointed going on 3 weeks to correct an error on monthly payments. They sure can take your money but take their sweet time returning money that should not gave been taken. Can never talk to anyone and takes days to get an on-phone appointment. Then talked down as if you are the dummy that made the mistake. Bottom line l wish l had stayed with my old insurance company.
