RBC Insurance

This company is great at dealing with vanilla policy requirements and withdrawing your payments every month, but God help you if you need a non-standard adjustment to your policy. In my case it was staying in one home while the new home was having some pre move in renovations done. Well, after 8 plus hours wastes on the phone (I have the call logs to prove it), mostly on hold, I cancelled my existing policies and went to a new provider. The people on the phone are friendly and polite, but it's like dealing with robots. The process goes like this: Call RBC, told by automated system that wait was long so to leave a callback number. Get a callback an hour later, explain what I need then get asked a few questions and told that they need to discuss with the underwritter and put me on hold. On hold for 15 minutes... They return on the line, ask a few questions and told that they need to discuss with the underwritter and put me on hold. On hold for 15 minutes... They return on the line, ask a few questions and told that they need to discuss with the underwritter and put me on hold. On hold for 15 minutes... They return on the line, ask a few questions and told that they need to discuss with the underwritter and put me on hold. On hold for 15 minutes... The number of cycles varies from call to call but be prepared to set aside at least 3 hours. 1 hour for the callback and 2 hours for the question/hold cycle. The worst part as they come back with question that were clearly addressed during a previous cycle. I'm know as a call guy but people who know me, but not did I lose it on the guy on the phone. IF I could apologize to him for my outbreak I would, because he was a nice guy and it's not fault for the bureaucraric and soul crushing customer service model his company uses. I found a good broker with a smaller company and the process was great and human! We could email informations back and forth efficiently and get things closed quickly. Never again with RBC or an RBC type. I can't even imagine what it would have been like processing a claim with them.

I've never had any issues with claims with RBC or access to them. What I do have a problem with is that my insurance rates have went up by 35% over the past two years and there is no justification when I call. The insurance agents simply state that our rates go up every year.
