Ridiculous

by Jessica Rae on Feb 16, 2018
1 out of 5 stars

Worst company to deal with when you're going through an auto claim. Not one person that we've had to deal with knows what's going on. Every answer is "I don't know" "we can't say". Nobody gets back to you, weeks even months we've gone without a reply. I would never recommend this company to anyone! It's been several months now and we still don't have answers or replies from anyone, it's ridiculous and sad actually. As being a loyal customer for so many years I feel this company does not take care of their clients. I can't wait to be done with this company! If there was a negative rating I would rate them with a negative one.

I had a car accident and they kept in tossing me around like I was stupid. The left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing and refused to understand what I was experiencing. I am extremely disappointed and will probably not deal with them anymore. Worst insurance company. I wish there was a rating below zero.

Ruining my life

by Cybersunday on Nov 21, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Prepare for a shock if you have an accident 100% not your fault and would you like to collect any benefits. I was rear-ended in April 2016 and suffered among other things a brain injury. Constant dizziness, nausea, slurred speech and so on. I tried to go back to work 2 months later but only ended up in ER again. Lost my driver's licence. Lost totally my night vision. So far not a penny in income replacement benefits, refused to pay for physio but spent already about $13,000 on their own doctors trying to prove that I am fine. First doctor, a neurologist, just invented his own story which was immediately proven false by other medical experts. His reply was that this is not the scope of his expertise. Second doctor excused himself again saying this is not his job. Third advised them that this is not a minor injury. More doctors coming. They disregard any OCF3 from my attending health professionals. When I approached their ombudsman, it was a total joke. Run as fast as you can from this company. They can teach organized crime a thing or two.

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.

Buyer be warned

My wife was in a car accident in 2015. Suffered a massive back injury, can't sit normally in a chair anymore due to pins holding her back together. I had a premium Auto Insurance coverage with over a million in coverage for rehabilitation. Cooperators does not assist at all. You need to constantly fill out forms and get doctors assessments before they provide any financial assistance in making life comfortable. My wife has slept on the couch for 2 years waiting for a custom bed. Every month, "we just need one more form filled out". Simply disgusting how they treat a human. You become nothing more than a case file and an expense. Buyer be warned, Cooperators has little interest in helping, just making a profit.

Best Insurance for Auto

by Kelly Miller on Apr 24, 2017
4.5 out of 5 stars

I've had two not-at-fault accidents caused by careless/reckless drivers, who evidently were charged by police - but I digress. After both accidents I called The Cooperators within an hour of the collision, and they immediately got to work with renting me a car, getting my car taken to a body shop, and hooking me up with their injury claims people. My premiums are pretty low, and my experiences have been nothing but great. You're doing it wrong if you're not with The Cooperators. I had physio for several months after one of my accidents, paired with massage and acupuncture - all covered by my claim, and never once did I have an issue with anything. They're fabulous. I was with Aviva years and years ago, and they were the absolute worst company I've ever had to deal with in my life. Had another not-at-fault when I was 18 - pizza delivery man hit me going 80 in a 40, and HE GOT 0% AT FAULT, and I had to take the hit - literally! When he caused the accident! I even had viable witnesses that they deemed unfit to testify.... I was livid. As soon as they closed that claim, I moved to The Cooperators, and they've been fantastic ever since. I recently got life insurance through them, and will be buying my first house and insuring it with them this year. Don't go anywhere else but Cooperators - but especially never ever ever use Aviva. Unless you want to be called a liar and get blamed for something you didn't do, just because you're an 18 year old female and the pizza dude was a 50+ year old man. (I'm still bitter, can you tell?)

Useless

We were rear ended (no fault of ours )by someone with cooperator insurance. I use someone else for insurance. So to start with i have 2 children involved, who's car seats needed to be replaced ( no injures to them thankfully) . warning to all they will not fully replace your car seats they will give you about 50% the cost of new back. At the cost of car seats that was a very expensive cost we had to foot ourselves. Our vehicle was an older vehicle they decided it was not worth repairing . while they did give us a fair settlement on the cost of the vehicle they towed it the next day but it took over a week to get our money after they had said 2-3 days . also would not provide us with a rental vehicle making it nearly impossible for a family of 4 to shop for a new vehicle , my children missed nearly 2 weeks of school, sports and activities as there was no way to get them there . my husband had to taxi or pay to get rides to work . overall they had no interest in helping us and cost us a lot of money for a accident that was not our fault .

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.

Co-operators

by Shanrowe on Apr 5, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

Do not go with co-operators, they do not follow the legal rules for drivers. My husband has been with them for 20 years and as soon as a claim came up, they screwed us. I was accused of an accident that was the fault of the other driver and I has to be responsible for 50% and the other driver had 0%. The other drivers insurance didn't make him responsible and the other driver was responsible for this accident. I am with co-operators and I was screwed with 50% when I was not responsible for this accident. Also there no witnesses and no evidence suggesting that I am the person at-fault. The underwriters were rude. They hang up on you, they tell you nothing, they just assume it's your fault every time when there is NO evidence that you were at fault.

Horrible Claim service

by Ihateco-op on Mar 23, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I had a great experience getting my account set up everything was very easy and they took care of most of it.
Now making my first every claim and it is unbelievable how different the services is. By different I mean bad. The responses take days or weeks. I try over and over to get a hold of them they don't pick up there phone. I will even email stating when I will call and still can't get a hold of the correct person. They owe me money for storage and I have asked at least 5 times about that and every time literally answer all my other questions and ignore that. Now I am currently filing a complaint and even they haven't gotten back to me and it has been almost a week.
Horrible service if they owe you money would not suggest this company to anybody

Cooperators is Crooked

by Janet Moore on Mar 13, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I had a claim where no one knew what happened in a parking lot, no police involvement. I got a call a month later from Cooperators saying some guy accused of hitting his can when I didn't. Since no one knew, it went 50/50 but the other guy got off scott-free b/c he claimed 0% first even though he's 50% responsible. The customer service stinks, my claims adjuster just kept accusing me with no proof. The appraiser said I couldn't have caused the accident but b/c Cooperators needed to accuse someone, I was the person. Any joe blow in a parking lot can write down your plate number and call insurance and accuse you and if you with Cooperators, they will make you liable. THEY ARE CROOKS! Bad for business.

Horrible company

by Phat_J on Mar 2, 2017

Hello. This is a quick summary of my experience: they are liars, incompetent, they dodge responsibility aka "pass the buck," overcharge, are undertrained, and they mislead. Here are the details: I boycott Cooperators, and tell everyone I know not to use this company. I shudder every time I see the name. They do not need any more customers until they can fix their fundamental issues. I signed up using a preferred rate through college as an alumnus. All of a sudden, my policy got changed without my authorization about a year later, so I called to inquire. I was told they no longer support the school alumni... then I was told Cooperators never supported that particular college alumni. I asked how is that possible when I had signed up my policy because of that? I was then threatened to be "charged back" the difference over the length of time I was "saving" money under the "wrong" policy!! It was constant phone tag, misinformation, and promises of calls back which never happened in my attempt to resolve this. In the meantime, I was looking for another company to switch to, and someone supportive and understanding was able to keep me with Cooperators, in spite of being overcharged. It was not worth any more of my personal time to be calling and calling to get someone to resolve my original issue. AND on top of that, I inquired what the 13D glass endorsement entails. The lady nonchalantly tells me it covers all the glass on my car, which is 100% incorrect (see part 2 below). These people need to be trained better. I am willing to bet there are many, possibly hundreds or thousands of their customers under incorrect coverage. So part 2. Around March/April 2016, I inquired on what "13D limited glass coverage" entails, as it appeared on my policy. I was informed it included glass but no windshield coverage. I specifically asked if rocks through glass, other than through windshield, were included. I was told yes. I asked if I had this coverage on my plan, I was told yes. This made sense to me, as from my VIN, it should show I have a moonroof, and that coverage would be beneficial to me from the start. A friend of mine had a rock through her glass during springtime and claimed through insurance. I wanted to ensure I had the same coverage in case it happened to me. Sure enough, months later, it did. Now I call to make a claim, and I'm informed I do not have this coverage. They mentioned that it's "rare" that people opt for glass coverage... I find that hard to believe that a moonroof on a car is "rare." I was informed that comprehensive claims for glass are covered if it was in the act of theft, weather, or vandalism. If I had have known this prior, and that my roof glass would NOT be covered because of a rock, I could have lied and said it was vandalism/a falling tree branch/some kid/etc. I chose to be HONEST and I got screwed over, due to their incompetence setting up my policy and wrongly answering my questions. I had them pull my recorded call history to verify what was said in the previous calls. Of course, they claimed that they had done no wrong and now I'm on the hook for repairs ($1500 for the new part, plus labor). I asked to hear my own calls. They tell me I need a lawyer for that!! Absolutely absurd. A supervisor tells me I was supposed to pay a certain amount more every month to have this glass coverage, so I offered to pay the difference over the months I've had the plan, plus the deductible to fix the glass. I thought it was a fair deal considering how I was treated up to this point. Nope, they refused. Wouldn't budge at all. I cancelled with them as soon as I could. I paid these people for over a year, had this terrible experience. They need to be set straight or put out of business. An absolute disgrace.
