Aviva Auto Insurance Reviews

I have this car insurance for over a year, the payment amount went up by almost 100$ because of my ticket. There is no problem with that but the thing is every time I asked my broker something, she always texts me back late or sometimes never answered. She just calls when it comes to money, also during the pandemic I got laid off from work, I asked my broker if she can delay my payment because I don’t have work she refused that request because the company Aviva is a private company... Well, I’m gonna transfer to another car insurance... I don’t wanna waste my money with this company ever again.

I am having a worse experience with Aviva. They have very bad customer service. My car was stolen three days ago and I reported to cops and provided them with a police report and video of the stolen car but they are not offering me a rental car. They say: "Your case is being investigated we can't give you a rental car!" It is garbage insurance! Their staff are super rude and my adjuster is telling me: "We can’t give a rental car as we don’t have the authority at the moment as your case has some block." My adjuster is not picking my calls and not replying to my emails. I told them that it is Covid 19 and I paid insurance every month and now it is your time to assist me and provide me with a rental car at least! But they are very rude... They don’t even know how to deal with their customers. I have full coverage but they are giving me a very hard time... Most of my family members are using Aviva Insurance. I told them they are doing this to me and don’t give you coverage when you need them... Especially in this Covid -19, they should not do that! I have two years old daughter and my ongoing health is not good... I am already in severe stress because of my car loss but Aviva Insurance giving me more stress.

I received a price quote for my auto and home in May for my July 17 renewal. I accepted the quote and paid in full on or before the due date. About 2 weeks later, I get another bill from them for $11.00 which they said was a COVID adjustment. No big deal. Then, a full month after my renewal, I get yet another bill from them for $122.00. There was no explanation, just said renewal (adjusted). I called and they explained that for me to get a COVID rebate (wow, $36 for 3 months), they had reduced my mileage to 1,000 km. and then, after the COVID period was over, they had to manually re-adjust to my normal mileage of 5000 km. The COVID rebate ended June 21, my policy renewed in July. Furthermore, when they send out the renewal in May, they knew the COVID rebate expired before my renewal. I pointed out to them that they quoted me one rate then charged me another, even wrote a letter to their ombudsman asking for a pro-rata refund because I don't want to do business with a company that operates like this. I was told too bad. I'm stuck with them for almost another year. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! That's my advice and hopefully, it will prevent anyone else from having to go through the same situation I've had to deal with.

Terrible claim experience! An adjuster refused to visit a shop - thought we had a choice of where to get our vehicles repaired. Apparently NOT! Customer service lied to me about sending out emails to get COVID relief! Rates went up under COVID! The most expensive company as well, so we will shop around. Goodbye Aviva.

Today, I called them to see if they would refund me for 4 months keeping my car in the garage and not using it (due to the pandemic), as the other insurance providers do (many publicly have announced that). After a very long waiting time on the line, the agent declined any consideration in this matter. I will definitely not be renewing my contract with them anymore.
