Same as others in this forum, we are long-time TD customers and every year there are price increases, however, this year it is more than substantial at 34%. The sole excuse from TD is that replacement costs are up, so they just chose to increase the coverage on our policy. We are totally over-ensured at this amount and certainly do not require or want the additional amount. I also called and spoke with an actual person who again said the same thing. Forcing customers to over-insure is price gouging, plain and simple! This must be some form of loophole they are using to justify huge premium increases.
They suddenly increased my home insurance by 40% without reasonable explanation, I am 13 year loyal client, without any claim for so many years, the renewal notice showed their raise of premium for this year is 40% higher than last year. I called and questioned the agent, the agent was not able to give me a good explanation, and the attitude is really rude. I chose to cancel the policy with TD Insurance, recommend you to do the same thing too.
Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.
It was $1400 less for the year with another Insurance for my home insurance, so I switched. When talking to TD about it, they said they are regulated by Ontario and could not do anything about the price or explain why they are so much more expensive.
Poor customer service and very poor risk assessment practice. I made substantial improvements to my home reducing risk profile and increasing safety but TD doesn't want to lower my premiums. During signup, they said premiums will be lower after upgrades but the reality is completely different!
Conned me into signing up, a few months later almost doubled my home rate
Been an Auto member for over 2 years now. Decided to ask for an updated house policy this time at renewal. They gave me a very competitive rate which overall matched what I was paying elsewhere. A few months in they decided to do a house inspection and then took another few months after that. Then decided I need to pay almost twice what they originally quoted! I have to switch back at huge change in premium, I'm now out about $500 - $800 due to this. Do not use TD home insurance or trust the rate they give you!

This pathetic company lured me in with a "reasonable" premium (3000 CAD) for the first year, then, in spite of being claim-free for several years, offered to renew with a premium of 4000 CAD... Their explanation was that this increase was a general trend over the province. I checked and found out that actually the average increrase was about 7-8%. So I shopped around and found a better policy for 3100CAD.
Don't waste your time with these clowns...
