Avoid RBC Insurance

by higherhigherhigher@yahoo.com on Mar 17, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

Worst Service Ever, Avoid RBC Insurance. For emergent communications, they chose to send registered letter, instead of calling or emailing which is the only way we can receive during stay outside Canada. It caused huge trouble for us. Ridiculous company that will never survive in competition.

extremly poor service

by Tom from NL on Mar 1, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

My home and auto insurance will be up for renewal in June so I decided to get a head start and get some quotes. I called several companies and was treated with complete professionalism and respect until I contacted RBC. From the beginning I was treated like a criminal who was trying to sneak something passed them. The woman, with a foreign accent and very hard to understand ,was rude and I felt like I was being interrogated for committing some crime. Finally, when I had enough, I just told her to forget about it and hung up. This was my first and last time dealing with RBC insurance.

Inflexible policies

by dvescio on Feb 10, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I recently made a change to my credit card and forgot to inform RBC about it. My fault, no doubt. I received a registered letter later stating that I failed to make my last 2 payments and that they would be cancelling my policy. I ultimately made the payment but missed the deadline by ONE day due to circumstances out of my control. Again, not their fault but they refused to budge. Payment had to be in their hands on the Friday at noon, but they only received it Monday at 10am and they cancelled the policy and would not re-insure me. I spoke to 3 different managers and each of them sounded like broken records, saying it was out of their hands. This complete lack of flexibility toward a long-standing paying client is despicable and demonstrates loud and clear that we are just numbers to them. Will definitely be moving ALL assets out of Royal Bank

Households in Alberta pay, on average, approximately $60/month in homeowners’ insurance costs. We can help to push these costs even further down. Get a house insurance quote today to start saving today. Rates start at $20/month.

No Home Policy While Away

by Home Away on Jan 15, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I missed an automatic monthly payment due to a changed visa card# (my fault as I failed to notify RBC of the change). Despite their knowledge of my absence from Canada, RBC cancelled my home policy before I returned--and will not renew policy (for three years) even though I paid balance in full as soon as I knew. Received mailed notification when I returned home but it was two weeks too late. No call, no email to notify me of situation while away. Missed payment of $13.00. My fault, yes, but inflexible policy jeopardizes likelihood of obtaining new insurance. Be aware.

Bad experience on my claim

by EF, Miss, Ontario on Sep 12, 2014
3 out of 5 stars

I had a bad experience putting my first claim. The contractor they sent to check out our claim didn't even spend half hour to look at the damage to our house and had already evaluated that claim was denied.
An overall experience for me is not positive. I am on my half way of my policy till renewal and I am looking to switch company. I don't care if I have to penalized for an early cancellation. I just want out.

horrible service

by no longer a customer on Apr 4, 2014

I moved several months ago and had the exact same amount of tenants insurance in my new place. I got a quote over the phone for the same price (within a dollar). then received that quote by mail. A week later, RBC sent me 3 written quotes for 100%, 50%, and 70% higher even though my insurance hadn't changed at all. They randomly went into my bank account and took out the higher rates several times in a one month period. I know that mistakes happen so I called expecting RBC to acknowledge going into my bank account illegally, refund my money and accept their first quote as the correct one. It took many months to clear things up, they were completely rude and unapologetic, never called back when they said they would and awful to deal with even though all of the mistakes were made from their staff and of course to their benefit. Had I not kept the copy of the original quote , called and wrote to the Ombudsman many times , and kept on it, RBC would have never refunded me the money they illegally took. Horrible service. Never deal with them.

Beware of RBC Home insurance

by Oilking on Jan 4, 2014
2 out of 5 stars

last year my RBC home insurance premium was 615.00 this year on renewal (Oct 2013) surprised to find out the premium had gone up to 1080.00. No changes or claims year over year. My insurance document had a replacement cost on my 22x24 ft detached uninsulated, non- heated garage has valued at 80,000. and my small 4 level split in Regina Sk had gone to replacement of 400,000.
Called RBC on 2 different occasions and the rep on the phone advised a new replacement calculator was in effect and there was nothing they could for me- end of story.
I called a local broker and got a more reasonable replacement cost and cancelled my RBC insurance-beware of RBC Insurance.

Reasonable Insurance

by marisakeller on Sep 3, 2012
4.5 out of 5 stars

RBC excels in customer service, and purchasing insurance was easy, reasonable, and I have had no issues with my policy. Their branch experience is always very pleasant, they are quick to explain the details and answer any questions, and I enjoy dealing with them. I would recommend their services!

Stopped insuring floods

Overall I am pleased with the services of RBC Insurance however there was a flood in our building and immediately after they stopped insuring floods and damages related to water damage. I found that unreliable and changeable.
