I'd like to start by saying in order to get a 1* rating by me, you'd have to be unprofessional, arrogant, complacent & willing to outright lie to your customer. TD Insurance covers all of those basis.

In May of 2016, I was a victim of a wildfire in Fort McMurray, that sadly took my home away & everything I've ever worked hard for. Surprisingly, my car was still standing on the road that I abandoned it on because of police ordering everyone to run on foot, even though everything around it burned.

Dealing with TD since has been NOTHING short of a nightmare after another nightmare.

There was a misunderstanding in my policy (me thinking I was protected because I was paying for some sort of 1-million dollar coverage) & also a Gold Premium Package. It all sounds reassuring & fancy until you actually need it & it's NOT the kind of coverage you think you're paying for.

I was given 1/3rd of what I owned & had an experience over the phone with one of their associates not realizing he didn't hang up on his end, & all I could hear was him belittling myself & my mother with another co-worker in the background. I had vice presidents & a senior manager call to "apologize" but that's all for show, they don't mean it & don't let them fool you into thinking they do.

Moving on from my Tenants Policy, now begins my Auto Mobile claim...

The associate I was dealing with about my car was calling everyday to give me an update about my vehicle - which was always the same, that it was still waiting to go into the shop but it was in a secured lot & he couldn't get in touch with them to find out more details - until about a week & a half ago when he stopped calling. I'd also like to mention that he asked ME to make phone calls for HIM because he was "extremely busy & wasn't sure when he'd be available to work on my claim." He also mentioned that he & his manager would be working on extending our rental due to the circumstance of the wildfire & the long wait for repair shops. This was all talked about around June 15-20th, somewhere in between that time frame.

Just yesterday, July the 3rd, I answered the phone to the company who TD Insurance rented a vehicle for me was calling to tell me that TD stopped paying since the 23rd of June & that I would have to start paying out of my pocket if I wished to keep it longer. I told them my Insurance extended the policy, but they said no phone call was made to them.

And so then I called TD Insurance, July 2nd, to find out what was going on.

The associate working on my claim explained to me that he was still working with his manager on extending the rental & hasn't gotten an answer back yet. And that he "assumed MY car was taken care of in the shop because myself or the autobody shop didn't call him with updates," so he stopped working on it.

I asked to speak with his manager at this point. He told me his manager would try & call me back. I waited 2 hours, no call from him, so I called again. Finally I got the manager on the phone & of course he was arrogant. He wanted to argue with me, not help me, & when told his associate was to blame, he kept repeating, "I fail to see how my associate is to blame. How is this his fault?"

I also have a voice mail of the associate apologizing for his mistake, that he should have been on top of it but wasn't & that he would work on getting the rental extended with the help of his manager. The manager also told me that they weren't going to extend it to help us out. Neither of them had plans to call & tell me this, or else I would have returned the rental when it was due to go back so that I wouldn't have another expense.

...

They'll treat you with arrogance & talk to you like you're stupid when they make mistakes & won't own up for it.

They put crooks in place of managers on purpose to deal with us paying customers, so that finally we will just give up & say it's not worth it anymore.

You'll pay them money for a service that they'll try & pass off onto you.

And you'll hear constant apologies about mistakes they've made because they decided to take their time with your claims.

STAY AWAY... and if you decide to still go through with getting insurance through TD, record every conversation you have with them & let them know that you're doing it so that it's legal. Ask a million questions until you thoroughly understand your policy - & make sure that person doesn't use words like, "I think so," or, "I'm pretty sure," because that's when you know they don't know what they're selling you.

Be smarter than these crooks.

Where do I even begin...

I've been with TD Insurance for over 5 years for both my home and auto policies.

Recently, I was parked in a grass field at a festival and hit a rut while leaving which bottomed out the front of the car and caused some damage to the front bumper cover and some stuff in behind. Was going to pay out of pocket to get it fixed, but the estimate ended up to be over $3000 (who knew plastic was so expensive)... so I decided to claim it thru TD.

I paid my deductible and they had one of their preferred shops fix the damage and provided me with a rental for a week (which was not even comparable to the car I was driving) - Strike #1.

The claims process was straightforward but trying to get a hold of the adjuster was like pulling teeth. Seems all calls are screened and are sent directly to voicemail... it would then take 1-2 days for them to bother to call you back - Strike #2.

The final straw was the ignorant and rude voicemail I received from one of their agents today that said "Due to your recent $3000 claim, we are not renewing your policy. I suggest you look online for another provider. Goodbye" Keep in mind, my renewal date is July 1st. Thanks so much for the sufficient notice! /sarcasm.

I ended up using Kanetix.ca to find another insurer and had a new home and auto policy within 30 minutes which ended up SAVING me over $1000/yr.

TD Insurance can be summed up as follows:
- Ridiculously expensive
- Terrible customer service (rude agents or agents who don't know what they are doing and have to ask a manager for help every 5 minutes)
- Ridiculously long hold times when calling in
- Rates continuously increase every year with no justification
- Insurance adjusters hide behind voicemail

STAY AWAY from these crooks

Getting robbed

by worstcaseontario on Jun 13, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I moved 5 blocks away and my premium went up over $600 a year. How is this possible or even legal?

I did an online quote using my new postal code and received quotes more consistent with my previous rates, and TD happened to be the second cheapest provider. So new customers get the real rate and loyal customers of over 5 years get robbed.

Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.

TD insurance is the worst

I am currently having a terrible experience with TD insurance. I am a new car owner.. only paid my first and last insurance and a lot has happened. money was mistakenly taken from my account ( which was for an important appointment). td lied that i was going to get my money asap, i had appointment cancelled all because of TD. csr has been rude to me, one gave me false information and the manager promised to call me and she never did. TD ruined my week because of a lousy mistake on their end. I really want to escalate this issue and also search for a new auto insurance company. its been such a horrible experience.

Worst insurance company

by Holly on May 17, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

After years of using TD insurance (never had a claim) they decided to cancel my policy. They gave me less than a week notice.
When I called they couldn't give me a straight answer as to why my policy was cancelled. They told me to Google another insurance company. (This was of course after waiting on hold for a long time)
But of course they kept taking their payments out of my bank account. I had to keep calling and asking for a refund while they tried to sell me another policy?????
I'm glad I never had a claim. What a nightmare.
Never use td auto insurance!

Change of Address

by Pakwash Al on May 4, 2016
2.5 out of 5 stars

After being with TD Insurance for almost 20 years, I can't wait to say good bye. With the move to another area of Ontario, my premiums for home & auto have increased by about $300 annually. I can accept that, but now they want 2 months payment up front on the day I move. It's a rip off!!!!

Horrible

Horrible experience. I wanted to pay in full for my insurance. So the company claimed they could not give me my policy till the money comes through. I paid them and 10 days later still no call back from them after calling multiple times throughout the week only to find out that they have apparently "rejected" the money and that it should be back in my bank account which it was not. I had to call my bank and they said they have nothing from TD insurance and that this actually happens quite often with TD insurance claiming they have returned the money. Now the bank is making an investigation into this company in order to get the $2,500 back from them. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

Won't insure replacement car

by Bump21 on Mar 14, 2016
2 out of 5 stars

I have only been a TD customer for a few years with a clean record. Last year (2015) I had a claim after an animal hit and this year my husband had a accident and wrote off his car. The claim and payout was fairly quick but then they refused to insure the replacement car. Its a 2011 crown vic - former police car. I have been fighting with them for 4 days over this and today got told to look around for another insurance company just in case as there is no guarantee they will insure it even after jumping through all their hoops.

TD= mever again

by Shy2288 on Mar 10, 2016

I have had the worst experience with TD I have been a loyal customer for years. I have never had an insurance company like them, they have no sense of integrity and when I asked to make a payment from when I fell sick and ALMOST lost my LIFE !!! They were ignorant and wouldn't settle with me. They wanted me to pay 2000$ when I still have registered insurance right as I write this. I would never go to them, ignorant and zero concern for their customers

Worst company ever

by hhdbvhjd on Feb 17, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I see so many complaints of how they were jerked because of accidents and claims. But wait what about me?. Absolutely no claims,no tickets,no accidents for 10 years with this company and this year they raised it by 25%, yes you read it right 25%. Never ever go with TD for any of their products. I will go without a car if I have to but will not renew and never in my life have anything to with TD insurance or TD bank of TD group, TOTALLY DUMB. By the way why can't I give a negative no star rating here ? makes no sense.
