There was a lot of confusion when they changed their system or processes which is understandable…read more However, it could have been handled a lot better and communicated a lot more effectively. Around the same time of their system change, I somehow ended up owing them money. Which was super confusing. Because I had no idea what was going on, my policy was cancelled and they just kept emailing me telling me I owe money but didn't tell me who they were or what I owe money for. I emailed a few times to ask and they basically just responded saying I owe them money and that they already told me why. If you're going to take the time to email me and tell me that you've already told me, then why not just quickly tell me what I owe money for? They came across as very unprofessional, rude, and immature. After about a couple months of this going on, I finally got a hold of the manager and she told me what the money was for. It took her all of 2 minutes. If they had given me a quick 2 minute call months ago, instead of constantly emailing me to ask for money, it would have saved their business time and money and maybe I'd still be a customer. And no one ever apologized. I paid what I owe so I won't have to deal with them anymore. But all of this tells me that they aren't organized, can't communicate effectively with their customers, and also that they would probably be a nightmare to deal if you wanted to access your insurance with them. The way they talked to me in email was similar to how scammers operate; demanding and rude while asking for money. And after all this, they were sure to ask if I wanted a new quote! Wow. I'd stay away!

If I could give them less than 1 Star I would. This company is horrific to deal with. Kristyna,…read morethe assistant branch manager, cancelled my insurance and notified the bank I have my mortgage with citing terms I was never informed of. When I escalated to the manager, questioned this and asked for copies of notifications it turns out it was an accident and someone else's policy. I would expect more from a seasoned insurance professional, especially an assistant manager. Not acceptable. I also experienced being sent an invoice for an additional policy I did not ask for (I asked for a quote, not a bound policy), and when that was questioned they acted like it was incredibly inconvenient and they were doing me a favor for fixing their mistake. I never went to them to get a policy in the first place. The company I had my policy from was bought by this company so I was inherited. Needless to say I renewed with another company. If you get the choice there are so many other better options out there. Pass on this one.

Being a client with this particular branch of Harbourd was degrading. I know that sounds dramatic…read more When asking why letters in the mail regarding a payment schedule arrived 10 days after the payment schedule started, I was pretty shocked by the reply I got. There was some patronizing commentary about how I should have known the payment schedule simply by keeping an eye on all the transactions in my bank account and seeing it come out after the fact. I understand they were in an awkward position, but being treated as a client in that way from any business would be terrible. I don't think insurance has immunity from providing polite customer service. I would not recommend this company. If anything goes wrong with your payment schedules/ payments, or it seems like theres an error, they won't be able to help or get back to you for a while and you'll get left in the lurch.

The vehicle insurance company staff were very attentive to customer needs, at least the insurance agents that I dealt with were like that.

Some of the other insurance brokers are still stuck in the old ways of doing business only in person visits, which is not very flexible.

They are also affordable, and I paid a much more doable rate than I ever did for half the service in Vancouver. Thanks so much. Highly recommend!

She assured me she had a PTIN, and asked if a video meeting would reassure me(I live in a different province). I reiterated that the credentials would help me to go forward, in a friendly manner, as I felt a bit uncomfortable asking. This is what she emailed me back(draw your own conclusions - it certainly told me enough): "Good Day Audrey, I cannot  provide you with my PTIN number via email- It is like your tax data- confidential information. You seem to have significant hesitancy around this process. At this point we have decided to decline to provide tax services for you."
