Car Insurance...HELPFUL STAFF

Great assistance over the phone when I made errors on my car insurance. Reviewed on: 9th June 2019

Thieves, bandits, robbers

Bloody where shall i start, the claim analysts are charlatans, they are paid to change your whole story and lyingly will also refer to the phone calls which are supposedly recorded, if you are in a fault claim then forget this company, they wont investigate the claim thoroughly they will label you as a fraud etc and close your claim/policy down without any notice, mind you they will also keep your premiums paid, if you try and clarify yourself the claim analyst will say he dont want to know and hang up on you, the guy i spoke to was a bleeding arrogant/ignorant person, you could tell from his tone and manner that this guy was a circus clown, aviva a MAJOR STAKEHOLDER? Nope!!! aviva a MAJOR STEALER! stealing money from hard working citizens, best insurers are AXA never a trouble, AVIVA Not recommending you to even my enemies, whosoever reads this review please do yourself a massive favour and “DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY AT ALL, PLEASE USE ANOTHER INSURANCE PROVIDER” ZERO RATED, 1 star rating is over generosity!!

AVIVA a horror story. STAY AWAY.

For anyone that has auto insurance from Aviva Canada I strongly suggest you find a new provider and for anyone who is contemplating using them for insurance to stay well clear of them. They are a horror story and only want your money and will find any excuse to avoid payouts. Here is my horror story. I have had them for over 10 years as my auto insurance provider and dutifully paid the premiums on time, every time, even when I heard others had cheaper premiums with other companies. Stupid me. On July 2018 I was involved in an auto collision. The other driver was at fault and was charged with careless driving by the police officer. It was my bad luck that he also had Aviva insurance. I reported the accident in same day. Aviva quickly wrote off the vehicle, even though the damage did not seem that extensive, and low balled me on the payout. Less than half of what I paid 2 years prior. I argued that I had done some major repair work on it 6 months prior and should be at least partially compensated for that as well. According to Aviva that is apparently where I committed a sin. It seems we cannot question been ripped off by them. After 1 months of no definitive answers from them, in frustration I cancelled my multiple auto and property policies with Aviva. They lost a total of $6,600 annual premiums because of their unprofessional approach. And really for a mere $12,000 claim. That appeared to have been my second mistake. I believe that they thought it was now payback for cancelling my policies. They took over 6 months to make a case that the work was not done as detailed in the receipts I provided. They put me through a phone and an in-person interrogation (the gestapo could not have done a better job). The end result was that they declined my claim including the car rental I used for 1 week after the accident. While it may be true that the auto shop cheated me on the work done in the bills they should have simply declined the receipts and maintained their original offer, low as it was. Talk about adding salt to a wound. I have now retained a lawyer and proceeding with legal action against Aviva. Stay away from this scam of a company. Reviewed on: 7th March 2019

Car insurance

Very good and fast online application,great price any insurance, help full fantastic costumer service Reviewed on: 21st November 2018

Incompetent company caused a county court judgement against me

In may 2017 I had a minor collision where I clipped a parked car. Reported it to Aviva and they arranged for my car to be repaired . This was done and I heard no more about it until September 2018, when I suddenly received a CCJ against me from Northampton county court claiming for the damage to theother car.. Contacted Aviva and forwarded all the documents received , they said it would be dealt with. It was not settled in time and I ended up with a CCJ on my credit history. Reviewed on: 21st November 2018

price kept going up

we had insurance with Aviva for several years but premiums kept increasing even though we made no claims. We switched to another provider and are paying less Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018

Highly recommended insurance

Excellent insurer that does not charge you for any changes to your insurance schedule as they allow you to sign in and change your car details yourself without hidden fees. This is excellent. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2018
