Cooperators Auto Insurance Reviews

I have been a loyal Co-Operators client for the last eight to ten years. I had my 3 homes, 4 Automobiles and a pleasure craft insured with Co-Operators over these periods. Very sub-standard customer service and customer care. They never promptly reply to any insurance queries or insurance change requests. Always have to fire a follow-up email or branch visit to get the job done. Whenever you visit this branch in person, this location has the worst reception area ethics with associates with poker faces. I have doubts some associates there even know full Ontario auto license and insurance rules. They mentioned " A new G1 license holder has to be listed in the policy since he lives in the same address " while Ontario law says since a G1 license holder can' drive all by themselves, the companion driver's insurance covers them. Needless to say, time to move now since these people are taking business as granted: ( May it is just the location I was dealing with in Kanata, ON but they have to get their act together in this highly competitive service industry.

I get in an accident, my fault. Very small for an accident maybe $10.000 total and most importantly no one was hurt, also no tickets we went to the collision centre. We both fill out all our information shake hands and leave. I was with another insurance company for 10 years before I always have insurance and I switched to the Co-operators a year ago to join my laws policy(cheaper) I call the Co-operators claims who say my account is frozen and to call my branch and they can unfreeze it. I call my branch and explain she says - "oh let me see why it's frozen", then says - "oh your account was suspended 2 months ago. Your girlfriend started a new account with the new car she bought with a new policy." Which made the old policy expired because she was the primary account name which puts me out of insurance. I give my ex as much as I possibly can for our daughter which car insurance has always been a part of. The Co-operators won't do anything they sent a registered letter which is all they say. No phone call or email. Trust me my ex could got me in touch with them if she wanted.

I called to get an auto & home insurance quote and spoke with a representative there. First, he had trouble hearing me, that we managed to figure out. Then he started to ask questions and I gave him trust answers base on my current family situation but he accused me of not answering truthfully. I asked what he meant by that and he said I didn't give him a true answer. What? I was calling after 1 year to check their prices and my family situation isn't the same as it was a year ago. Why he told me I lied... I asked if I could talk to someone else because he was very rude. I asked for his name too but he hung up on me. I called back and requested to speak with a supervisor or manager to complain about it but switchboard said that's no possible and I only need to speak with the next available representative. I didn't want to end up speaking with the same person again so I choose to write my complaint here. Extremely rude people. I will never call them again. I am a person with an excellent credit history and driving record so I have many other options to choose from. It is not my lost! But it was my insult indeed!

One of the worst insurance providers in the Canadian market right now doesn't update you about your policy changes, doesn't tell you when your contract expires and when confronted does not give you a right answer. Oh wait, the most important pointer in this list of deranged services is that they say they will call back with a solution to your problem but they never do!

Do not use the Co-Operators! My company is in contract with the Co-Operators for a couple of years. They kept changing the policy without letting us aware of it. The coverage for all the Paramedical services such as Chiropractor, Physio, Registered Massage Therapy, Acupuncture etc suppose to be 100% with a maximum of $500/year. But they changed it into 90% without informing us. They are not even making us aware there are maximum $/visit. Our employees are not happy with them and we are not going to use them anymore once our contract is expired!

My stepfather had his new car ownership taken from him by the agent when he was transferring his insurance policy. They made it very difficult to get it back (we still do not have it). They keep promising to send it. The kicker is that they threatened to tow his new vehicle away as they had the ownership. A very sad company with nobody that has people skills. Messages to Ombudsman rarely returnedю. I would never use this company.

I was the last car in a 3 chain rear end. The horrible adjuster didn't investigate. I had no claim but they raised my rates 100 percent. They claim there is nothing they can do about no-fault determination rules and they stuff you into a scenario from the 1990 policy that doesn't take into account modern technology, fraud, distracted driving by the first or second drivers that had already collided suddenly with no opportunity for me to react to an unforeseen event. They lie. Stay away.

Such a bad company! Not recommended for anyone, they don’t do their job properly and people fool them and get money. I had an accident and it wasn’t my fault but they are unprofessional enough and so cheap to investigate and do their job.

I had auto insurance for two of my cars with this company, and the individual I dealt in the past was a really nice lady. Who offered me the best customer service. But my file was transferred over to someone other individuals in this company, and I have spoken to them about insurance for my new car. Which they agreed and quoted me on and I also provided them with the date of receiving the vehicle. On the date of signing my vehicle, they called me an hour before that and told me my insurance was cancelled and I have 15 days. And gave me all invalid and unrelated reasons. My record was clear, no tickets, no claims, no accidents. I have been with them for so long. Had a good record and relationship, yet they provided me with the worst customer service. Especially the individual whom I spoke to. Disgusting manners. Never AGAIN with this insurance company. They don't know what professionalism is and sounds like they don't even like working there.

I called to get a quote for auto insurance from Cooperators. The representative is totally unprofessional and asking my information with the very poor manner and showing that she doesn't like her job at all and also she doesn't like that I am calling to get a quote. She asked me why I need insurance? Hahaha, I answered I cannot drive without insurance in Canada and that's why I need this. I felt like I did wrong because I am calling this stupid company to get a quote and tried to give business to them. She said I need to send my driving abstract to them to get the insurance. Because this is their policy and they have to see If I had 15 accidents in earlier. That made me super dumb and surprised!!! I told her I don't have any accidents in the past and I am a customer and calling to do business with your company and she shouldn't talk to a customer like that way. I am very happy that I didn't go too far and got insurance from this company. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!
