Canadian Direct Insurance Home Insurance Reviews

This is the worst possible company out there for home insurance. You'll buy insurance that covers basically nothing that's why premiums are so low. During June 2013, when Calgary experienced a flood, CDI was not there to help out at all. Avoided sewage back up claim until water was tested. No emergency clean up, or live out expenses offered. Took a year for them to write a cheque for sewage back up which they tried to weasel their way out of. No follow up or phone calls to check on your claim. Assigned an independent appraiser that doesn't work to help you. Consider doing all the work yourself if you have a home insurance claim (there is no broker looking after your case and CDI doesn't care because they want to keep their costs down). I switched my insurance right away after my experience with this company. Buyer beware. Pay more with any other company and avoid an extreme hassle if ever you need to rely on them. Better to have no insurance than to go with this company. CDI earns zero stars in my view for poor service and unreliability.
