I called Desjardins after creating my on-line quote for our 2 cars. I had my quote printed out and in front of me. Basically I answered most of the questions over again with the agent (loosely referred to as an Agent) . She gave me a quote after randomly asking several questions (which were already answered on the quote that I had generated) but the quote was 200 and something higher than the quote that I had manually generated myself, however after double-checking all of my answers, we found that there was no differences other than the cost that she quoted. Somehow after mumbling her way through something, she came back with a slightly lower number and once again I explained that her number was still higher so there she goes again, asking me the same questions over again and then finally she get to a number that was $80 less than the quote that I got myself (without changing anything!). No complaining from me there! Then I was asked if I wanted their "adjusto" "thing" which would record our driving habits; it would knock off another 5% from our rates so I went for it. The only problem was, is that now she comes back with another number which was more than 95% of the quote which she just gave to me. I was becoming rather impatient at this point but I calmly explained how to reduce my quote by 5%. From that point onward she barely listened to me at all and denied haven given me the quote that I agued she had. Then I suggested that we just go back to the original quote and then proceed to lower it by 5% for the "adjusto" thing but then she came up with a different starting number altogether. At this point I figured that Desjardins was not a company that I wanted to deal with if their agent could not do basic arithmetic (most of which I thought was intentional).
She then hung up on me! Unbelievable! I thought about how a claim scenario might go with them and after reading some of the reviews on this site, I kind of get the gist of what it might have be like. I have no time for companies like Desjardins. Too bad, thought I was going to get a good deal on my car insurance!
