Cooperators Home Insurance Reviews

After 10+ years with them 6+ with auto insurance, and business insurance for 4-5 years through them, I will never recommend, nor use them again. A couple of years ago I should've cancelled then my wife got into an accident, at first they were nice but, when the other driver claimed she was at fault the Cooperators underwriter or whatever they're called (The one who deals with accident payouts and such) treated her terrible, not returning calls, being mean in tone on the phone when we got through. Finally, I went and took pictures to prove that she (Wife) did have the right of way in the roundabout due to signage, even the police officer said if there were laws for roundabouts he would've charged the other driver (not sure if Ontario finally put in some laws but, at that time the officer said there are no laws in the highway traffic act for roundabouts) after sending them that information they again started being nice. Another issue is, I did have a speeding ticket 8+ years ago, and they (Insurance) told me when it is removed I'm sure they said it takes four years to come off, I'll notice a decrease on my rates, well that wasn't true, the ticket now been off my file for three-four years, yet they kept on rising our insurance rates every renewal making excuses each time, (higher claims across Canada, all insurance rates raised etc.) This year 2022 was the last draw as they wanted $188 for car insurance and over $34 for rental insurance which would be over $200.00 a month. I started calling around and found $122 a month (car) and $38 a month for rental both with higher payouts and lower deductibles from another insurer. Which saves me over $480 a year. When asked why my insurance is very cheap with them they told me it's because of our good driving history. Yet Cooperators keep rising my rates which is mind-boggling. I cancelled with Cooperators right away stating to be cancelled Aug 1st. 2022 and I asked about cancellation fees since I was so close to my insurance renewal the lady at Cooperators told me they will only charge me $40 something on my credit card, for the remainder of the time. A few days ago I noticed 40ish from them taken off my credit card, okay last payment... Well, yesterday I noticed $176 taken... They turned around and charged me $176 which I didn't agree too, and when I called I got hung up on because I told her straight out they were gorging me in pricing over the years. Talking to the fellow at the call center (Who was 1000% more respectful and understanding) it seems they didn't put the correct date in for cancellation as it was supposed to be Aug 1st. The woman from Jennifer's office right out refused to call me back and emailed me trying to say there are confirmation of an August 17 2022 cancellation, which isn't correct as my new policy starts Aug 1st with another insurer and I requested Aug 1st cancellation. Why would I be an idiot and pay two insurance companies? I also didn't care about a few weeks cancellation fee as that is my renewal date. Every time I call this office they transfer me to the call center, they can't deal with auto, and they don't put in the information correctly, Jennifer shouldn't be an owner as she or her staff misses things up I noticed in another review on Google the same concern of missing things up, she seems to never be in the office, her staff refuses to transfer me to her, they refuse to acknowledge when they're in the wrong like in this situation. One cluster fudge after another with this insurance company. Look around there are much cheaper insurance companies out there, this insurance company is like a pyramid scheme.

They just pulled my insurance because I’ve started a small home business. 29+ years with them, not a single claim and I get terminated. Avoid them… used to be a good caring company… terrible service and no return for loyalty these days.
