Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

After 23 years with Aviva and never had a claim, I was in a bad accident by a careless driver. They put me through so much, not believing my injuries even when my doctors reports confirmed my injuries. Payout after 2 years didn't cover physio. Aviva is Terrible.

Was provided an insurance quote for three auto policies on July 9th, 2024 that I agreed to. The auto insurance was to be effective Aug 6 at 12:01 am. On Friday, Aug 2nd (the Friday of the August long weekend) I received an email from the broker at RH Insurance, informing me that Aviva would not provide collision or liability for me son. Claims history was known to all parties.
Unless you want a company to renege on a quote, be provided such information at the last minute, I would avoid all three of the parties listed above.

Price got from 102 a month to 172 a month after the first year. And they even cover less than the first year. What a scam.

If you have a choice, do not deal with Aviva. If you already have insurance with them, check your policy carefully. They decline coverage for older vehicles by changing the name of a clause. You think you have full coverage and find out you don’t when you submit a claim. Do not trust Aviva.

I wish there were a zero star to give. It's the worse Auto insurance and has poor customer service. They are quick to take money every month, about $700, and they only cover $3500 for treatment. Do not buy AVIVA auto insurance. The price does not match coverage and service.

Run as far as you can from this company. Do not waste your money... this company should get zero stars. Phoned them needing a tow. Claims representative told me my basic plan would cover the first 300 km of the tow. Anything over that and I would be responsible for it. No problem. But, without any contact at all, this rip off crew says “nope, you get the bill”. Unbelievable. The customer service representative is obviously trained to say you are covered for anything, then they just say nope after and do not honour their contract.

I didn’t listen to the reviews and that was a huge mistake. Should be zero stars. Think you’ll save money with AVIVA? You won’t. Customer service representative tells you one thing and approves you for a tow, then a year later AVIVA sends a bill saying they won’t cover it. But not to you. Nope, you’ll get your first inkling when you get a letter from a collection agency. Total rip-off company. Do not insure with them! Protect yourself from being abused. Better to have no insurance then AVIVA.

I bought a truck and got the replacement insurance from AVIVA. After 3 years of driving, I got a broken windshield. I put a claim for the deductible. However, I am so disappointed during the process. Even the broker helps me to contact them, they used any lies to deny my claim. Such as they changed their policy a year ago. The deductible is not that much, but I finally get the lessons-you can't trust this company anymore. So far, I bought another vehicle, and the broker suggested me to purchase the replacement insurance from AVIVA, you guys definitely my answer-NO!

If you have an automobile claim be prepared for Aviva to offer you 50% of the value of comparable vehicles. I thought that the idea of having an insurance policy was so that you would be put back into the position you were in at the time of the loss. This is not so in the case with Aviva who offered me far less for my written-off vehicle (100% not my fault) than I could actually replace it for. The net result being I am now without a vehicle and I'm in a dispute with Aviva which I'm certain will not be resolved any time soon. I would not recommend Aviva to anybody, in fact, I've warned many people about my thoroughly unpleasant experience with Aviva.

I was a client of RBC insurance for 18 years, then Aviva bought them or into them. Back in 2016 in bad weather, I had the misfortune of sliding on pure ice on the roads and bumping into the car ahead of me when they bumped into the car ahead of them. They had a crack in their plastic bumper, I needed a new grille and front bumper. RBC told me not to worry go get it fixed, nothing will show on your record. 1 FREE CLAIM AWARD. RBC was great alone in 2017 I had a young lady with a G2 for only a week ran into the side of my truck on her way to work at an intersection, as she stated she was speeding and was late for work. After calling Aviva I was told to get a police report and I did, police deemed it no-fault. Aviva told me to take my truck to their shop, I did and was told 4300.00 in repairs, and 500 deductible... I decided to shop around. I got 4 quotes from quality shops, not one single quote was over 3100.00, the cheapest was 2800. When I called the Aviva adjuster I was assigned to she told me they would not cover the repairs unless I went to their shop. So, after telling her it should be my choice where I take my truck, not theirs. She informed me that after reviewing my file they are only going to cover 2600 in repairs unless I go to there shop. This same adjuster told me my premium would not be going up it would stay the same, until I took my truck to my choice of repair shop, soon as she found this out 2 weeks after the fact, all of a sudden she calls me to tell me she has determined this accident was my fault and my Premium would be going up, I was paying 1100.00 a year, with her determination my new premium would be 4856.00 a year! I followed up with many emails and calls, she would ignore me until the day I left her a VM saying I was going above her paygrade. A manager called me a week later, after discussing the facts, he told me there was not much he could do about the adjuster decision. I argued with him until he put a quote specialist on the call, once we had a below paygrade of everyone else on the phone this adjuster/customer service agent asked how I had gone from a 6 star client to a 1 star for a minor accident claim, he told me usually only see that if someone was drinking /driving, speed causing an accident . After this gentleman looked into my file (remember a customer service advisor) he changed my status to a 4 star, with a premium of 2300 a year. But I did not get the last laugh, just recently (guessing I was flagged) my monthly payment kept getting returned happened 4 times in the last year, but each time I would call and ask why they were returning my payment, some sort of PC glitch. Well, this past week I received a registered letter saying my insurance was cancelled due to late payments. I decided to shop around and get away from these crooks! Everywhere I call I'm told I have 2 accidents (one was a gimmie by RBC over 3 yrs ago) plus I have 4 late payments ( not my fault), so now no one will touch me for insurance. Found one company that wants almost 5000 a year and a half upfront. Thank you Aviva!
