Increase in premium

My insurance was cancelled while I was travelling. I received no email or text of this happening. I only found out after coming home and reading my mail. Had I not seen my mail prior to driving I could have hit someone or killed someone with no insurance! When I tried to reinstate my insurance they raised it 65%! They don't care they are putting public safety at risk or see any validity that they are part of the problem by not updating their system.
Desjardins Insurance, in general, is horrible. I cannot wait to get away from them. You get what you pay for cheap rates for uneducated, horrible, lazy service. I do not recommend Desjardins insurance to anyone. They just want your money, they don’t even bother to help although they make it seem like it and help with minor things. I have even spoken to people who’ve had their insurance and has gone up yearly for no reason, amongst other issues I’ve heard from others. Please do your research before picking an insurance company. If you’re getting great service and help, it’s worth that little extra money because it’s gonna save you in the long run
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.
I've never had a claim or ticket. Been a customer for 5 years. My insurance goes up every year. I am switching to another company in May.
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.
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.
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.
Best value when I was shopping around.

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.
