Nobody to answer the phone

Car insurance premium rising every year. Yet unable to get through to an agent by phone or online. Unless you have enough time on your hands to wait for who knows how long? Hopefully, you don't get transferred that is another hold time. I couldn't even get access to the website for a few days with no reason for the problem? This is just so I could pay for my coverage? I've never had so much pain trying to give someone money. When I finally got through they decided to tack on a late penalty! That was it for me. Cancelled. They wouldn't rescind the penalty. So for $25 they lost over $1000. Never use TD for insurance. They do not have enough "service" people to handle what business they have. I'm just glad I didn't have to file a claim. That must be scary.
My car got damaged in a hail Strom in June. Now August and I'm still driving a rental car. Three times they changed my adjuster and none of my adjusters called me. I was leaving voicemails all the time, none return calls back. I waiting to get my car money and will shop for another insurance company. Not recommending TD insurance.
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.
Worst customer service EVER! I first called them to sign up for the insurance and everything went smoothly. They answered within minutes! But after that whenever I called to fix their MISTAKES (They didn't include my partner's name in the documents, our online account didn't work, we didn't receive our document on time!) I had to wait in line for 3 to 4 hours!
I have been trying to get hold of them and they put me in hold for hours. They increased my premium without providing any explanation. They are very expensive and should not be in business.
This is the worst auto insurance I have ever had anywhere in the world. I have lived in several countries and nowhere did I ever experience the level of incompetence and blatant disregard for people's time as I did with TD. I have been trying to reach them since the beginning of the month to renew my insurance. I spent close to 20 hours on the phone just waiting for them to pick up. The repetitive music that they play why you are on hold made me think of the movies I saw where music torture methods were portrayed. It also made me think that it was done deliberately, so people would not be able to stand the music and would just hang up. They did pick up eventually. My conversation with them lasted no more than 5 minutes and resulted in nothing. They told me that their computer system is updating and they are short-staffed because of COVID. No action to renew my insurance was taken. I moved to NS from another province and would have very much liked to keep my insurance from that other province. Unfortunately, my previous insurance does not work in NS, and TD seems to have a monopoly on auto insurance here. But, nevertheless, I do urge you to stay away from them! Maybe, eventually, the lack of customers will make them reconsider their approach.
If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.
I used TD Insurance's auto expert shop for my claim in mid-June. It was a simple claim - I had had a bottle smashed through my back window, shattering it and damaging the door as I was driving. First, when I inquired about using my own shop, their representative, misinformed me that the only reason they ever sublet out work is when there is something wrong with the censors or console electronic system on the vehicle. I agree to use their shop, with the promise that the work was guaranteed. They proceeded to put a completely different colour of tinting on the window, AND tore apart my car door, reattaching pieces of the frame with sticky tack and double-sided tape - I wish I was joking. The piece fell off shortly after the work was done, and I came back to them demanding that they reimburse my preferred shop (Honda) to repair the vehicle properly with brand new parts. Their detailing contractor also left a RAZOR BLADE on my back seat, exposed, after removing the incorrect tint. I ended up having to source the correct tint myself, and arrange all the appointments to have the right colour put on. The repairs weren't actually complete until early August. This should have been a 5-day job. My question is, if TD is willing to cut corners like this, what other subpar work are they doing to people's engines and mechanical parts? After all this workmanship and inconvenience to me, they refuse to refund me my full deductible. I will never ever use a TD product again after this experience. In addition, service from my adjuster was slow, not thorough, and unhelpful. Communication was unclear.
I had to call twice on the same day, each call waited one hour until someone took my call. They said we already gave you an auto quote today, you will have to callback tomorrow to get a cancellation quote. This is a crazy service. I've been with TD over ten years and they are not cheap and this is the type of service I got. When I call tomorrow and once I know the exact amount to cancel that's what I will be doing. Representatives seem too lazy to provide you with more than a quote on the same call. Callback tomorrow in this day and age is unheard of! Take your business elsewhere, TD insurance doesn't deserve your money!
Long time customer (20 years +) and I have never seen the call-in wait times as I have seen in the last few months. They have always been a call away and with no wait times. Now that we have COVID they are laying the blame on wait times on this virus which they have the exact same protocol in a palace. Please hire more people so that you can manage the phone calls coming in, in a timely manner. Nobody should be waiting more than 10 minutes. Clean up your act TD! Once again I’m waiting on the phone and it’s been longer than two hours. Clean up your act TD or you will lose most of your clientele.
TD used to be excellent - low prices, responsive call center. Now I'm not able to contact them by phone, email, or online secure messaging which claims 2 business days maximum. I had an auto claim - two weeks for my adjuster to return my call after I pretended to have a new claim and had to escalate to their manager. I told them to not renew my home policy, yet once again I have to sit on hold for hours to avoid getting charged for something I don't want. Very disappointing, as another user mentioned, their service declined amazingly quickly.

In 2020, when a company doesn’t have a system that you can leave a phone number for them to call you back, instead of waiting for hours, it’s a company not worth my time and money. The shortest amount of time waiting: 1h10min, longest time waiting: 2h 47 min...AND STILL WAITING! Luckily, I got another phone so I called 2 brokers and got 2 quotes, which one of them is cheaper. So when they pick up, it will be: Thanks, cancel everything because you can’t answer your phone!
