Abandoned by CNS

1.5 out of 5 stars

Unless you plan on not claiming any accidents I would suggest staying away from CNS.

I was signed up for car insurance with CNS for 6 years. I have just had the most dissappointing experience with CNS. To be fair I will start by saying CNS was always professional and speedy with any claims I had.

Now for the really crap part which has pretty much erased all the stars I would normally have given. The other day a HUB agent (my broker) called me to tell me that CNS had decided to "quit" me and that I had a day or two to find new insurance. When I asked why, she said I had made too many claims (ie the amount of profit they were making off me wasn't as big as they liked).

I thought back to the last 6 years and don't believe I've made an abnormal amount of claims and the claims themselves I was also not at fault for. Two windshield cracks and two hit and runs in completely different locations while my car was parked in legitimate parking spots.

So why is this coming up now and why do I only have a couple days to find new insurance? Turns out CNS had wanted to quit me 6 months ago but it was never followed through and now they want to cancel my policy asap. I argued that I was working over the next two days and it was a bit rude of them to think I'd be happy and able to find new insurance in such a short time. I asked her to help me find new car insurance (seeing as she's a broker) and she said because I was denied from one company she couldn't help me with any other insurance company, it was their policy.

What a strange way to treat a client who has always paid premiums on time, has a perfect driving record and has only made claims that were no fault of their own whatsoever. I'm extremely disappointed and disgusted with the treatment and the abandonment I've experience from CNS as well as HUB.
