Desjardins Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

The first year our insurance was $170.00 The following year it went up to 194.00 (for no reason – we had no traffic violations, a decent (2018 - so at this point a one-year-old) car. Our new quote is now $287.00. No claims have been made, nothing has happened. No tickets, no accidents, nothing. This is insane.

Horrible customer service. Unorganized charged me for a higher rate then discussed over the phone. I had to review tapes to confirm. The claims department is a disaster. Took 5 months to get my car back after a claim. Late in sending renewal papers.

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 was in a car accident 6 months ago. Their client hit my vehicle. Their client was ruled 100 percent at fault. Desjardins insurance has written off my vehicle. Here's the problem they want to settle with an amount that won't allow me to purchase the same year and model of vehicle. So basically I will need to downgrade. They get this appraisal report done on an online web-based program... they don't provide the location or contact information of where these comparable vehicles are. It's unbelievable. The appraisal is not worth the paper it's written on. No name of person no contact of this web-based appraisal. It's so Micky mouse you need to see it believe it. I have been in contact with the lady who hit me, she said her experience with them was a nightmare as well. Stay far away from this scam of an insurance company.

I have been with Desjardin auto insurance for as long I can remember. Yesterday I spoke with an agent, who messed up the relationship with this company. I recently bought a new car and called Desjardin to moved my insurance over. At the start, I told the agent I was in a new address but did not mention I was to be there temporally. The agent asked me to read the address I have on file and I did. He went ahead and processed my insurance based on the address I read to him. ( this address on file was different from the one I was in at that moment). He sent an email to me with my significantly lower monthly payment. I again reminded him I moved to a know address mention for a moment. The agent decided to recalculate my insurance based on the new address, and the amount was significantly higher, about $30 higher. I told the agent that was no problems at all and that he should allow the insurance at my old address given the fact I will just be in the present address for a month. The agent said it was because I heard that the insurance amount will be higher in my present address that I decided to ask him to keep it at my permanent address. Later, he kept me on hold for about 10 minutes and wasted my time just come and tell me they will need to move my address on file to the temporary address which the amount per month to pay is higher. I told the agent all my info and address on my driver's license is still in my permanent address which is not this address I am in. He asked me to provide a least agreement that I am in the old address. I told him I did not have the least agreement in both houses. I live with my friend who is helping me out to continue with my studies. The agent started telling me how I need a least because it will be for my protection in case they want to push me out of their house. I did not think it was he call to start telling me that. The agent was very sarcastic and could not allow me to explain myself. I was very disappointed with the services I received from him. According to me, he very unprofessional and inexperienced. In the past, I have had a very good relationship with formal agents I spoke with. I am not sure where this guy was from to spoil my relationship with Desjardin in this manner. I let him know I won't stay with them anymore. He was okay with it and behaved as if nothing happened.

I had a claim and it took more than 1 month to get my money from them. I was calling them every single day and every day different stories and lies. DO NOT TRUST THEM

I canceled my policy 3 months ago to a professional provider Just this pas Monday they decided to take 3 months premium out of my account with zero notice I might add. I’ve been bounced around to 4 different people who have been useless to address this. Just short of being called a liar I’ve given up. They can keep the money it’s worth not having to being treated like a second class citizen. Purely pathetic and unprofessional from the very beginning.

Please do not choose this company. They make it their business to deny your claim. I was first contacted by an adjuster who came across as inexperienced and extremely judgemental. Firstly, she did not introduce herself or her job properly so I was confused around how much information I needed to disclose. Throughout our conversation, she cut me off, drew inferences that did not make sense and she was judgemental. She also kept speaking with this horrible rising intonation where everything sounded like a question. She did not even call me to tell me about the outcome and instead she sent me an email. Obviously distraught, I spoke with her supervisor. As I was crying, she treated me like I had mental health issues and I was incapable of holding a conversation. I told her that I would cry regardless of when I had the conversation. When I thought to say something, she raised her voice at me and told me to let her finish speaking. It was the first time I did that and I was really distraught, which would be understandable! Her method of management is to have control over any conversation and she goes from 0-100 real quick. Desjardins was the most horrible experience I’ve had with an insurance company. I’m not upset about my claim being denied as much as I’m upset by the way I was addressed by these two ladies. These two women exemplify lacking empathy.

An adjuster asked that I provide child support stubs or statements as well as a child tax benefit for her to approve income replacement benefits ( never heard of it!) when I have provided a bank statement.

Good afternoon! I want to share a story that happened almost two weeks ago. 10/11/2019 at about 7 p.m. I was driving to training and at the intersection when turning right, I hit the rear bumper in front of a travelling car. The speed of my car was about 3-5 km / h. We went out and inspected the injuries with the Mitsubishi driver. A scratch of about 6 cm in length was found, the paint was not peeled off. The girl said that there is no reason to apply to the insurance, that everything is fine, but just in case, she wants to take information from my insurance company. She took a photo, I took a photo of her car just in case, and we parted. After 12 days, they called me from the insurance and said that she filed a request for repair. 10/23/2019 I called the insurance and tried to find out how the process will occur. I explained that the car was not damaged, I also sent a photo of Mitsubishi on which it is even difficult to consider a scratch. The representative of the insurance company said that she can do this and the insurance will repair the car. I completely agree that it was my fault, but the car drove after this for almost two weeks and no one knows what could happen during this time. Also, I did not receive an answer on how I can protect my testimony and reputation. I was told that a person can apply for repairs within a year after an accident. So if I’m responsible and have to pay for something I didn’t do. I thought that my insurance company believes its customers and will help them in any situation, and even more so to prevent fraud and illegal actions! No one should be responsible for what he did not do and there is a law for this!
