Desjardins Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I got hit my car in London, Ontario that was the first time I have had an accident. I didn't have a witness. I called for the claim she was rude and did not call me back as they promised within 3 days. After I called them back and ask for the claim they said you do not have witness so 50/50! What the heck? Now, I got a lesson from this story that you can hit any car make sure there is no witness. By rules, it is his fault! I want to say everyone please buy and uses dashcam in who never knows what will happen in the future in this day won't be a witness for you because they are not willing to waste their time for you.

I had full coverage and I was hurt in a collision, they didn't give me a rental 'cause they said until the investigation is over they can't do anything. It's been 2 months and still no rental and reimbursement for my vehicle. I can't get to work and am gonna lose my house soon. My adjuster keeps making up every excuse in the book. This is what I got for getting full insurance from this company.

Everything was great until I've got in a not-at-fault accident.

They refused to pay my repair ( scratched fender + right headlight + bent hood ) and wrote-off my car.

They offered me 1/2rd of the car value, quoting a similar garbage car found around Edmonton. I'm in Toronto, .

In the previous year I've replaced $2000+ worth of car parts: tires, shock absorbers, alternator, timing belt. When I've emailed the invoiced they increased my car value by $300 or so.

Not sure how other insurance companies behave in an accident, but definitely I don't want to hear of them anymore.

My 2 cents.

When I was doing the claim, the agent told me that my first accident would be forgiven because it is the first one and my record was good before.
I double checked with him and he was certain about it.

I was glad and move money around and plan to get a new car.

After a day, when I mentioned it to the lady who was taking care of the claim. She told me that it would not be forgiven and would increase my insurance. She admitted it was an error on their side.

So I started changing the plan and getting a used one instead , trying to get quote for used car on their website.

A salesperson or representative call me on Sat and wanted to sell me something based on my online quote. After explaining to her, she said she would like to help and transfer me to her colleague

However, her colleague blamed me for not knowing the policies throughly. I told her that I trusted the first agent as a professional who knows about the auto insurance better than I do. And then she started becoming really rude and arrogant, said it was my responsibilities , and not theirs. And when I told her I was prepared not to drive once the insurance matures. She responded by " It is your choice not to drive" , really really rude way/tone.

Save yourself the stress and get insurance from a different provider even if it costs more money. Any company would be better than this one to deal with if you have to file a claim for a not at fault accident. My car was deemed a total loss, it took over a month and numerous un-returned phone calls and getting angry to get a settlement payment for the car. They are still flat out refusing to cover costs for physio and psych which is much needed therapy recommended by two doctors due to it being a fatal accident. I cancelled my policies with them except for tenant insurance and was told I'd have to pay $56 outstanding, today they took $303 out of my account with no authorization, not even 3 days after receiving a letter saying they are charging me $278 with no explanation as to why the amount changed or anything. As if I'm not having a difficult enough time with dealing with all the mental stress and trauma due to this accident, they are now taking money that I didn't OK for them to take. I can't say enough bad things about this company, there are too many to list, go elsewhere for insurance or pray to god you never have to file a claim for anything with them.

I had a minor accident 2 years ago and called them to ask what should i do.. they made a claim against me and put me as 100% in fault of an accident with no complaints, no charge and no involve party !!! I didnt even know that i have a claim under my name until i tried to change my auto insurance.. ... worst ever insurance company ever

Truck was stolen, Turned up on the reserve, Totaled. Appraiser came out, a week and a half later, way undervalued my 4x4 truck , he provides only one vehicle as his "market research" and says that's what its worth. I provide vehicle pictures ,service and repair receipts and provide 6 ads of comparable vehicles from kijiji and auto trader. They don't even look at it !!!
They then send me a letter saying essentially "your vehicle is worth this" siting no evidence or research* and also say they are refusing to pay for storage cost and I only had a rental for 2 weeks!! They are rude, short and hard to understand. They yell at me and refuse to look at the information I have provided. Currently It's only been a month since the theft but now the insurance company just sent me a letter with no prior notice that They will not be covering the storage fee. I had my vehicle stolen and they treat me like the criminal even after all the premium I paid. This insurance company should be barred from insuring in Ontario

Worst company... I am calling them for more then a month and they, adjusters, are on vacation all the time. They changed my adjuster but no one replied... The worst company ever...

They are the worst you can possibly go to. I am currently having a terrible experience with Desjardins both car & home insurance.
The rude and racist customer service ruined my week because of a lousy mistake on their end and increased in total $120 for an address update for on both coverage. I really want to escalate this issue and also search for a new auto insurance company. Its been such a horrible experience.
Seems they plan to make mistakes and when you ask for updates, they increase monthly payments. Stay away please.
