Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

Literally, the worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. Save your time and your sanity and never choose Intact.
(1) Took me a month to just get an ESTIMATE of the total damages to my vehicle after my accident
(2) Now I'm now stuck playing phone tag with people who apparently are never around trying to get an estimated repair date.
(3) It took them 4 days and 3 phone calls to actually start my claim
(4) It took them a week to tow my vehicle from the collision centre location to the city where I live
(5) Another week to tow it to the correct body shop at my dealership because they brought it to the wrong place - their own shop, not the one I noted
(6) Another two weeks to get the estimated repair amount AND BIG surprise, I didn't even get the estimated repair amount from Intact Insurance - I got it from the body shop itself because Intact is too incompetent to reach out in a timely manner.

Can't even call their general phone line because you're on hold for over an hour and then the line gets disconnected... They want to repair a $28,000 vehicle with almost $18,000 in damages. The biggest joke. Would not recommend Intact to my worst enemy.

Negatives though, I call them about 4 times a week professionally. A mix of adjusters extensions and calling the on-hold wait line.
The adjusters have never responded to a single email I've sent. So that is in the dozens to a hundred or so just this month. I've had one adjuster call me back from a VMail I left among dozens or hundreds as well.
Sadly the best option is the adjuster's extension, however, their pick-up rate vs. answering machine is approximately 1/12 or so attempts. Whereas the on-hold line takes up so much time it is prohibitive. I am presently on hold, hold began at 1:35 pm and it is now 3:50 pm while I'm writing this. So the holds are usually around 2 hours, and this is the worst yet at well over 2 hours so far and still waiting. The only reason I'm on hold is that I absolutely need to speak with someone and this is day 8 without getting through to anyone, which is unusual, but also awful.
1 star or less forever. I'd easily be giving this a 3 start without any improvements if they simply added a CALL BACK OPTION as many others have. Then it wouldn't be prohibitive to call the hold line since I could continue with my other business. Being unable to use my phone these past 2.5 hours is costing not only time but money in a very obvious way. I'm missing out on business.
I'll be dealing with Intact less in the future business-wise after writing this and realizing the clear abusive nature of our relationship. So now this is affecting their business and not just mine. I'll be dropping my personal policy with them tomorrow as of this writing.
TLDR: They're too big to care about their terrible customer service as well as being in the past on technology available for over a decade. Avoid them.

Our trusted broker submitted our claim. Nobody called from Intact. We have to call just to the hotline. And wait for more than one hour every time we call several times per week for a month now.
Someone put it wrong in our statement. Over one month we are trying to get the car fully repaired. The adjuster never returned phone calls.
Escalated to the manager via voicemail box.
Insurance broker got in touch and they told me about calling us. Nobody called days later. The car is in service, no explanation why missing parts are not approved and they are not paying for a rental car, which is in the policy.
Calling to English speaking line is getting switched to QC and they have to switch it back to Ontario and it is extra time to wait. One person from Intact did confirm this one and only line to call has been terrible for over three months now.
Their web portal is not allowing to log in to review the estimate. It is not recognizing their own policy number. Reported this bug, but nothing happened.

Cancelled my policy on a car that is scrap and they charged me one extra month. So basically was paying insurance on a car that didn't exist anymore. Absolutely crooks. And yes when I paid I was always paying for the month ahead. So when I paid at the beginning of October I was paying for all of October. So to charge me for November is just theft and they should be disgusted as a company. Called and basically gave me the run around transferring me 4 separate times. Avoid this company at all costs. They're crooks.

My daughter’s car was stolen from her driveway. Her husband reported to their Broker, Erion Insurance. Erion reported the claim immediately to Intact. Five days later Intact contacted my daughter. The car was found. Inside the car, a bong was found. The car reeked of marijuana. Intact paid for a loaner vehicle until the vehicle had safety done and was cleaned. My son-in-law picked it up and it still reeked of marijuana. The garage said that they weren’t given enough money to pay for shampoo. Now the car is back at the garage. The Broker has emailed countless times and telephoned the Intact adjuster without any reply. The Broker has tried to give good service but the Insurer has provided terrible service to their Broker and to their Insured.

I am a retired Insurance Broker who represented Intact for more than 20 years. I am extremely disappointed in the service or lack of service that Intact is providing.

This company is the worst insurance company I ever dealt with. Leave a message after message take weeks to answer back can never get the representative to answer the phone over a month now and not resolved. I was a victim of someone running thru a stop sign and ramming my car going to cost thousands of dollars over their second settlement offer to replace my three-year-old car...
Settlement Offer way below market value!
I have to provide comparable vehicles as the ones they give are not even close to my vehicle. They want to write off my car or if I keep and repair I have to take a low ball offer to pay parts and half labor but then I have to pay them scrap rate to keep the car. That is over 3,500.00 they want to claw back for something I paid over 32,000.00 for.
It such a rip-off co surprised a company that has been around as long as they have and treat clients this way unbelievable still in business! Never felt so much stress in my entire life.

Several hours on the phone trying to figure out why they charged me another month after cancelling. Both Intact and their brokerage partner told me they do not know and I would have to contact the other group. Would never recommend to anyone.

It’s been a week and we are still waiting for the insurance adjuster to contact us. It’s been the most disappointing experience we’ve ever have had with insurance. We were rear ended, not our fault obviously, and this company totally has no regard for getting our car repaired or even an appraisal on repairs. We would never recommend this company to anyone.

I'm a private courier of 10 years in the Toronto area looking for a quote from Intact.
I am fully aware of the costs and qualifications for the insurance that I need to work so I went through the online vetting process, waited on hold for 20mins to be told I don't qualify because I deliver time-sensitive packages! Isn't that our job description??!
'that is due by 5:00 pm today!' That shouldn't influence how I drive!
This is wrong, discriminatory and misleading!
