Desjardins Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I have no insurance claims, no traffic violations and my 9-year-old car valuation were worth 4500. Yet, this insurance company increase my policy from 210 a month to 270 a month! Find another insurance provider.

I have been with Desjardins for over 10 years, and my rates have been dropping steadily when keeping the same car. However, this year when my insurance was up for renewal, my rate went up by a whole 34% for the year. I contacted customer service, and they did not know what to tell me other than the area where I live rating was the cause. I have had zero claims or tickets, but yet they increased my premium by such a large amount instead of dropping! I have now cancelled all my policies from this greedy company.

It's been 8 years that I was using this insurance company. Never in 8 years I got into an accident or any claim. In October 2018 I got into an accident at no fault. It was a very minor accident. It took 1 and a half month to fix my car. Finally got my car fixed. After a month I was travelling out of the country and wanted to put my car on storage. And I came to know that this company is about to cancel my policy because they wanted some documents signed from me. And I never received any documents due to Canada post strike. And I called them, I told them I never got any document from you yet, so finally they were like okay, you can download that document online. I was like ok, no problem, I will fill this and send over to you guys. After another week I got a letter saying that they cannot renew my policy because they never got the document. So I was speaking to an agent, I explained her I am going out of the country within 4 days. There is a Canada post strike going, you should be getting that soon. So that agent replied me saying, I am sorry "we are not Canada post, Canada post strike is not our problem". So I said ok, so am I responsible for Canada post strike? This company sucks, the agents have no respect towards a customer. They hang up on you when you demand to speak with a manager. This company is a useless piece of crap. Agents are extremely rude, no respect, no sense of responsibility towards the customers. I would suggest everybody never ever go with this company.

I have been with this company for over 7 years, and year over my rates have been dropping steadily. I even signed up for their Adjusto program and maintained a good driving record (no claims or anything). My Adjusto savings even went up to a high percentage, resulting in good savings. However, this year when my insurance was up for renewal, my rate went up by a whole 24% for the year. I contacted customer service, and they did not know what to tell me other than the area where I live rating was the cause. They even told me had it not been for the Adjusto program the increase would have been 40%. I have had zero claims or tickets, but yet they increased my premium by such a large amount solely due to where I live. Highly disappointing as it very much feels like because I was paying a low rate they decided to increase it as they please, and they just gave me a canned response.

I have been with this company for awhile. There were numerous complaints on various websites, but I failed to listen. My insurance just magically went up by almost 500 dollars for the year and I have been a perfect driver. No tickets, no claims nothing! The only thing they could tell me was that in the year there were a lot of claims for my area. Bullcrap!!!! Let's see the numbers. Let's see the claims for all the different areas. If you are okay with your premiums going up every year, with no sound reason and no reward for being a good driver? Go with these people. I just have listened. Listen here, these people are not worth it. If you still decide to, remember, you will keep increasing each year for no reason. They are not worth it. Go somewhere else.

I've had much insurance and as I know if you have a good driving record every year your annual premium usually goes down and insurance would be cheaper except for Desjardins! Instead of awarding the good drivers they raise the cost to 60 dollars extra per month from paying 195 per month to 251 per month when it came to my renewal I've had no accidents or claims... Called another insurance and they were able to give me the coverage for 215 per month that a saving of over 500 a year... Never will I return as a customer of Desjardins. They need to learn to compete with their competitors and stop trying to take people's hard-working money... horrible just horrible rates. Anyone thinking of switching to this insurance company I advise you to try someone else!

I've been insured with desjardins auto insurance for over 5yrs then they just increased my premium without any notices.
I haven't got any demerit points or claims or tickets.
They've been collecting over $2,000 per year from my account and now they want more money!!
Beware of this insurance company.

I have been with them for one year. I'm a driver with 15 years experience, clean history, no accidents, no tickets. I shop and compare my insurance every year at renewal time. So I was astonished when I received the renewal from them - $430 more per year. When I called in to inquire why my rate increased so much, they said it was nothing specific to me and that they had to pay out a lot of fraudulent claims so everyone's rates went up. The guy on the phone sounded like he was reading off a script. When I compared the breakdown of the new premium to last year they substantially increased the liability portion and even the accident forgiveness endorsement went up from $60 a year to $100! What a ripoff! I searched online and found 7 other insurance companies who had a lower rate than Desjardins. Personally, I think what they do to lure in good drivers with clean history is they give you ridiculously low rate in the first year and then jack them at renewal hoping that you will stay and not bother with comparing other options. Or they want to force you to use their smartphone app to track your driving habits. Apparently, if you use it for a whole year you may save a bit of money at renewal time at the expense of personal privacy and them knowing where you are all the time. Sorry, no, next! So if you do get a crazy low rate with them online, just beware that they will likely jack it up a lot at renewal. Always shop and compare at renewal and have no loyalty to any insurance company. They're all the same!
