Intact Insurance Auto Insurance Reviews

I bought a new vehicle with 100 thousand kms on it. 2005 GMC jimmy, body and interior were flawless. My vehicle was broken into, so I put an insurance claim through since I was paying full coverage and only had the vehicle 2 months. There's was a broken door handle and scratches above the handle so I asked it to be fixed... I priced it out myself at $850 plus labour. So, here's how they dealt with me... 1. Said they will be by in the next 48 hours to pick it up out front my house. I work, they said they are unable to arrange a time, to just leave the keys in it unlocked on the road for 48 hours, where it was just broken into. 2. They pick it up after 2 days take it to Carstar, where it gets locked in a gated yard. They say they will contact me to get my belongings if they decide to write it off. They never called, I almost lost everything in my vehicle due to it. 3. They deemed my vehicle a total loss over a door. This means I can no longer fix it and out it on the road under any circumstance. The truck with 100k on the motor is now scrap. 4. THEN I call leave a note with my claim broker to call back about what I get back for my vehicle since I currently don't have one due to them. This was on a Wednesday; no call so try again Friday with another message... No call. They leave me with no knowledge of my payout, when I get it, no vehicle to get to work, or any way to get another vehicle because I must pay out my loan first which is waiting on the insurance company. 5. After all said and done they priced my buyout at $3000 less than I had paid 2 months prior while not checking the odometer to realise how low it is the left me owing almost $5000 with interest for a vehicle I was paying full insurance for an had been broken into and deemed "not my fault". This company screwed my life over for more than a year to come and put my job at jeopardy due to me not having a way to commute. To top it off I called and stated all this to them and they didn't even have an apology, they just said these are our policies and that their mechanic who wrote it off was a trained professional. Please save yourself the hassle and money.

I signed for the auto insurance policy with my broker, he seems a nice guy. He told me that you can install a device in your car for six month and you will receive some discount in your monthly premium. So, i enrolled in the program. After six months over, I called my broker that my six months are over, should I remove the device from my car ? He said, just wait for an email from Intact insurance about the instruction to return the device. I waited for two-three weeks, still not receive an email. Then, I called the company directly, they told me to wait for another 3 months which I find not very trustworthy company to their consumers. As they tell something different when you buy the policy and but their broker don't tell what would exactly happen after six month. When I called the company, they said their broker should have this information to tell clients to complete the program for 9 months instead of six months incase (not sure when this happen). Just making people fool. I would never recommend somebody to get insurance from this company. I'm just waiting to complete my policy to move another company.

My car was broke down . I couldn't fix it anymore . I called them to cancel the policy. They said ok and sent me a letter with payment until end off policy (February 2016) because I stuck with 12 month agreement. . What different between robber and them. Do I need a lawyer?

my car had clear hail damage and they wouldnt cover it DO NOT GO TO THIS COMPANY any company but this one theyll take your money and when you get into an ancident they will make you look bad

Living in Newfoundland Canada we now have taxed insurance. Intact Insurance was charging close to $3000 for full coverage for the year so I found a better deal at one of their competitors. I spoke with them on the phone letting them know I was cancelling and was told that I would have to sign something in order to cancel to which I replied "Okay, I'll make my way down there when I can." Nothing else was said. I have now received a "legal notice" in the mail saying I owe them $279 for non payment up until October 4th. They're charging me, and letting me know they're cancelling my policy, for not paying on a policy I've already told them I was cancelling.

Stay away from this company, unless you intend to never leave them, otherwise they'll find a way to charge every single penny they can.

I requested my broker to cancel my policy with Intact and he ignored me plus ignored 2 follow up questions on the request to cancel. He sat back and did nothing so the policy renewed and I was charged $126 when the broker finally cancelled after the dead line. I sent Intact e-mail proof that I requested the cancellation of my policy well in advance of the renewal date. Once again I was ignored and Intact withdrew the money from my bank account. This fee of $126 should have been charged to the broker. Beware seniors and young people, Intact will rip you off because they think we are too stupid or too old which makes us easy targets.

Once you get your high quote, you get no service ! Just asking for more money, when you renew without any plausible reason. Oh and I forgot that fake regarding saving money with My Discount Program which actually ends up increasing the payment despite being a safe and a good driver .
Such a bunch of robbers!
I have no idea why Ontario still depend on private insurance !!!!

Our Son (17 at the time) had a collision with a person who turned left in front of him. So in most if not all provinces in Canada, that person who turns left is an automatic at fault, especially so when our son's light was proven to be green!
The short of it, we had to fight a ticket by a CPS officer who profiled our son (he had a loud SRT-4), and just had that withdrawn in Alberta court.

Now Intact wants the courts documents for proof (makes sense to me) ,but they want to assign 50/50 blame vs the person who turned left in front him being 100% at fault!

They don't listen, nor do they return calls emails go unanswered and unless you get very verbal and nasty with them (As I have now been doing) they will only respond to that type of action. Really quite sad how they seem to work outside of what the law says is or isn't.

Intact also increased our sons insurance 52% due to this accident EVEN with the charge being withdrawn, even with the evidence that proves beyond any doubt that our son was in the right, and they say it's charged but not convicted! The rate will drop only by 25% when they receive the documents from the courts.

Now many insurance companies allow your annual premium to be split up over the 12-month period, as does Intact, but they charge our son $110.00 annually for late payments that they agree to! They also charge him $20.00 each time they send out documents that were NEVER requested, all these smaller non-disclosed fees, added up equal other higher rate companies so do your homework, as these a**holes are about adding fees upon fee.

So my advice, they offer cheap rates, but don't go with them, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE delivery, business model brokers are never in the office (yes, this is not intacts problem but it's a sign)

Lesson learned, we are switching over to a new company, even paying marginally higher rates (10% higher than what we started to pay with Intact in the beginning).
