Intact Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

I had trees come down on my cottage property.....Intact Insurance did everything possible to give me the least amount of $ and made a promise of not charging me the $1000. deductable because I have never had a claim in 30 years. Then refused. Worst experience ever. I quickly changed companies and saved $300.00.

April 3 2017 we had a water leak. Intact had a contractor at my house the day after to look at damage. Day 3 we had emergency work done. TWO months later and we have had no resolution what so ever. Not one person is in communication with the other. The contractor says one thing the insurance company says the exact opposite. We are still stuck with this insurance company. Customer service has been awful and are not helpful at all. This company passes the buck from one to another. I feel this will be an all summer fight for what we pay for. Avoid at all costs. Go elsewhere for insurance it is not worth the hassle and stress this company puts its paying customers through. They make no extra effort into helping.

I wish I could give them no stars. They are the biggest scam artists and will do anything to take money from people. They will ask for payment without any documents (they do verbal agreements without you seeing any documents...I know, super professional and legit company) and say “Your documents will be sent in the mail. How will you be paying right now?” type of company. I actually thought I was being scammed, that’s how they do business. When I accused them of scamming me, they eventually sent me the proper documents via email (they should’ve done that in the first place like normal companies). I then was going to pay in full when they properly handled things. They said they need to go over the phone conversations and would review my file and let me know...leaving me to wait with my house insurance near the end date. They are now taking me to collections and they are wanting me to pay for them being incompetent. I was forced to go with my other insurance company because I would’ve been without insurance and they were “reviewing” my file. It infuriates me to think of how many people this has happened to. My mortgage company keeps getting cancellation of house insurance letters from them because I am fighting this. Go somewhere else, they have treated me like absolute garbage this whole time and I’m appalled at the way things are being handled. Go with another company! I’m already starting to hear from other people about their experiences. Look at the reviews. This company will be going under for sure. Just want to save people from getting ripped off if I can.

Do not buy insurance with Intact!!! My townhouse was recently destroyed by water and fire due to a unit that was attached to mine started the fire. Most of my belongings were intact but damaged by water from firefighters protecting the spread of this fire. The adjuster I got came out and was very sweet and kind at first when we met her the same day of the fire. The things changed quickly when we met her again to do a walkthrough. Made me buy hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, steel toe boots and face mask with my own money! My wife is pregnant so we had her sister come along. So I had to supply all that stuff myself. Then she accused me of not trusting her because all I wanted to do was walk through my house and take pictures of all my belonging so I can have a photographic memory of what I lose, so I can claim it. That seems like a normal thing any homeowner would do when something like this happens. She just cared about me signing papers to hand over my house to them to destroy and raid. Anyways there a lot more things and that's all I have been through so far. I am still in the process of recovering my things but I'm terrified of what will happen next because these people working on my claim give zero remorse and let you know right away through the things they say, body language and how they act that they just hear to save the company money and that they don't see you as innocent victim that you. Moving my insurance for sure after I'm done dealing with them! Feels like a nightmare!!! Being a victim of a house fire and also knowing that your insurance doesn't have your back while this process still ongoing!

My experience with Intact was less than 1 star can represent. I would rather drive with no insurance than deal with these money-hungry highway thieves. Now that I've moved on to a better company I can fully recognize how bad Intact is. Have a nice day.

Wow, these guys are snakes. Even charged a fee when I decided I did not want to renew my insurance with them. I'd rate less than one star if it were possible.

They totally took advantage of an immigrant family with poor language skills. They would not cover a claim even though the roofer sent a report with pictures. Our broker gave very poor customer service and I rate her terrible. I will be cancelling my own policy with Intact insurance because of this experience. They may cost less for insurance but if they don't pay valid claims it's like you don't have insurance at all.

Customers pay premiums for years, one time for a small claim, the insurance company does everything in their power to run you down... Makes you call them, again and again, they make you tired. Intact is the worst company of all. Their rates were a bit lower, but if you have claim you will not recover anything. Shame on them, and shame on me for using them in the past. NEVER AGAIN!

I was looking for home insurance and I provided all information to the Intact agent. He said he will get back to me soon. After one week and two follow-ups still no update. If they are not able to provide the quote on time, how they will process your claim in emergency. I don't want to do any business with Intact

While I would have rated Intact higher on customer service for the people who I actually worked with while processing a claim, their follow-up dismissal of me as a client after only one processed claim and refusal to work with me to maintain my status as their client is ridiculous. As new homeowners, we called our insurance provider, at the time Intact, to ask for advice on our policy after finding water in the basement. After speaking with the Intact personnel, and discovering that the claim was not eligible we did not process one. Due to their system of automatically opening a claim we officially "withdrew the claim" within 1 hour of opening it. We then fixed the water issue out of pocket to avoid future issues. One year later we received a letter that Intact was cancelling our policy for multiple claims within a three year period, even though they acknowledged that we only actually processed one claim. When we tried to work with the company by informing them that we had fixed the issue out of pocket within one month of getting their dismissal letter (and hadn't had time yet to inform them of the upgrade) they still refused to keep us as clients. Due to the dismissal of an insurance company against us, we are now paying for alternative insurance at a higher rate as a penalty. Intact never reached out to us and wouldn't work with us on how to maintain our client status and although we paid much more for their service than we ever received in the one claim, they removed us with very little notice. Would never recommend Intact insurance.
