Intact Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

After 44 years we had this one claim in 2015. A tree fell and damaged our roof, backwall, deck window. Intact hired Barclays, otherwise, they said – there will be no warranty. They hired someone else to do the work and these people all did a crappy work. We had to check ourselves and saw that it wasn't done right. The guys had to come 3, 4 and even 7 time . Barclays claimed the work is all done and we were to sign off so they can get paid, even when we told them the work was not completed. The gutter guys screwed up – now, after the snow storm, our living room got water from the gutters flowing inside the damaged window damaging walls, floor rug, and the paint inside and outside, The adjuster is saying, the case is closed - they are very rude and not helpful - not like they advertise on TV. 2 years later we are still stuck and the work still has not been done. I say, people stay away from Intact. They want your money but run the other way when its claim time for them to pay. They get the cheapest and crappiest workers to do the work.

Hi. I'm one of the Intact insurance victims, as I owned a restaurant that was insured by Intact and my restaurant was a victim to a fire that started in the strip mall and took the whole thing down. The insurance (Intact) went into my place and found that the whole place is water and smoke damaged, yet they still disassembled the place in hope to reuse the damaged equipment and everything else in the place. Anyhow, they claimed that because I used the restaurant for 2 years then it's depreciated and they won't pay me what I spent on the place to open, let alone the income loss that is included in the policy, but who's there to protect us against the insurance that's got the right to ruin your life, I lost my lifetime savings that I put into the business, my credit with all creditors and my family because of the stress I was put in because of this crooked insurance company that I'm still fighting till now ( almost 4 years) and still, nothing came out. They say insurance is there to protect the consumer and they're the consumer's worst enemy. I won't bore you any longer but I don't recommend this company by any means.

We had a break in and several items were stolen. What should have been a VERY straight forward claim that could have been completed in less than a week, has turned into a brutal nightmare! The adjustor assigned to our file isn't even located in the same city we live in! Phone calls went unanswered, e-mails were not read and obviously not responded to. I set up a time/day to talk to the adjustor - she was supposed to ring me and didn't so I rang her and she told me that she didn't have time to deal with my claim and that break and enters took months to deal with! I asked for the name of her manager as I wanted another adjustor who did have time to work on my claim. I was told that "they" don't change adjustors...I have filled in a customer satisfaction survey and in the comments I requested a call to talk to someone about my concerns - that was over a month ago and I still haven't received a call. We are being "nickeled and dimed" to death on this claim. The break in occurred 4 and a half months ago and the claim is still outstanding...this company is a joke!

Intact hired engineers to determine the extent of water damage to a family home. Their staff adjuster promised to send us copies of the reports then reneged when we didn't do exactly what they wanted. Eventually we got them, and found Intact's engineers made a bunch of bad assumptions to the huge benefit of their client. We pointed the problems out right away, provided them all kinds of evidence that they were wrong, hired another engineering company that did additional testing that proved they were wrong, and got an independent review that confirmed Intact's findings weren't proven....

It's been over two years since the incident and we've gotten practically nothing but deny, delay and defend tactics from Intact despite having already been out of pocket thousands of dollars to prove our claim.

I can't imagine that there could possibly be a worse insurance company than Intact.

Noticed that their overall rating seems to be skewed by multiple short, generic, positive reviews posted very quickly over the first couple months, with almost exclusively detailed, one star reviews in the years since. Something smells fishy to me.

Please don't go with Intact. EVER for anything. We paid them 800.00 monthly and when a claim came up, they most certainly did NOT have our back. When we cancelled, they tried to claim we owe THEM money. What a hoot. Worst company on the planet. If I could give them negative stars I would. Hard to believe any truly reputable broker would use them so beware of who you deal with.

My claim has been ongoing for 4 years. The agents assigned to the claim repeatedly lied and delayed in an attempt to stall the claim. The contractors they hired to do the repairs never completed an estimate and again delayed. When we finally had someone in, they didn't complete the repairs and Intact has left us with an unfinished house and refused to pay a settlement so we could hire our own contractors.
They've literally made my life a living nightmare.

I was given false and misleading info from their broker Landing insurance in vernon bc I was over charged and have a credit they will not return and they refused to sell me insurance when I tried to recover the money they stole from me. They only care about taking your money. In my opinion their tv commercial are very misleading.

We were totally ripped off by this incompetent scam of a company. We were sold a home owner tenant insurance policy. Our house was damaged by a tenant but when we tried to claim they told us we had to pay a deductible fee for every individual piece/ incidence of damage making it impossible to claim. Example there were 3 holes in one wall and they wanted to apply the deductible to each one ! Total scam stay away completely from this unethical business. The adjuster was arrogant and rude and sniggered at us when we were outraged at what they did. Totally horrible company.

Started a claim adjuster went on holidays so until he gets back no service, offered very low adjustment then second offer worse basisicly told me like or lump it not our problem. Will need to sue now that is what they want to me to do because it is cheaper for them as I will give up. saves them money. never been treated so bad. Would rate them below 0

Another driver backed out without looking and hit my car. Intact offered me less than half the purchase price. I'd bought the car 6 months ago. 2nd offer was keep the car, fix it yourself get $0 and they won't insure it because of the accident. Basically felt like they were trying to steal my car without the courtesy of jamming a gun in my face.
