Canada Brokerlink Arvostelua 

This is my second negative review. They cancelled my policy with a text. No phone call...no explanation, nothing. Over text!! Who does business like that. They are a horrible company to deal with and based on all the negative reviews I am not alone. Run!!!

There should be negative stars for Brokerlink. I had been dealing with the same company for decades(Cambridge insurance use to be top notch before joining Brokerlink). Now, it's an exercise in total frustration. Firstly, calling this company and actually getting through to them is impossible. Each call has been a minimum of 20 minutes before they even answer, and you can never reach the same person twice. Then, when you do, the majority of the reps, although polite, have such heavy accents, they are barely understandable. I was totally appalled that I called to add an additional car to the existing car policy (and I also have a Home owners policy with Brokerlink) and they were increasing the price of the existing car by doubling it. Needless to say the premium for the new car was unacceptable. I've been driving over 45 years now, with a perfect record. When I asked why the old car was doubled, with zero accidents or demerit points, the woman could not provide a reason. After being stuck on the phone with her for two hours, I had enough. That was the final straw with Brokerlink, I called another insurance company and they provided a quote just under half in total for both cars for the exact same coverage!!! Needless to say I cancelled all policies, including for my home with Brokerlink, and my friend cancelled his car policy too. I only wish I had done this years ago. I became complacent, just accepting the gouging fees. My only advice, do your research, I am so happy I finally did.

I sat on the phone for over an hour just to be told that my deductible for a stone chip in my windshield was $500 and that the insurance company would not waive the deductible. I knew this to be false information so I called the insurance company directly and opened a claim ...deductible waived. A broker that gives out false information is useless!

If i could give ZERO stars i would. No one answers the phone. Been trying all day, currently waiting on hold for over 1 hr. ITs a friday. I guess no one wants to work on Fridays.

Doreen always makes me feel very comfortable, when i call in

She has always spent the extra few minutes either explaining my coverages or offering alternate options.
I have delt with Doreen over 20 years. She is the type of person anyone would be proud to have in their employment.

I am from Saskatchewn, i purchased a used truck in Athabasca and wanted to get a transit. The brokerlink staff were miserable, not helpful, unfriendly,dismissive, abruptly announcing we are closing right away. They did not explain what we need to get a transit ticket. The overweight brown lady was the worst one. She said you need the blue paper! HOW WERE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW! what that is.

This company is brutal. We had all our insurance through this company and our broker would send us our renewal shortly before our renewal date, but didn’t have any numbers for us and said well we will renew you now there’s not much of an increase, but there was always an increase. We finally decided to check around with another company and got better insurance at about 35% less than what we were paying with broker Link. Their customer service sucks.

I want to give zero Star to this garbage company, but is not available bcs 1 start is to much for them, I recommend stay with insurance , or no vehicle, save your time energy and health, and don't use this company, trust me better stay far away from them.

For the first time, I reached out to Brokerlink in the Atlantic region to get an auto insurance quote. They paired me with an agent.

The overall experience was disappointing. The time between correspondence was far too long. Twenty two days from me reaching out until they came back with a final quote.

I ended up dealing with a different brokerage who got me coverage same day.

The reason for the review is because the agent with Brokerlink gave me a final quote that was DOUBLE what I got through Nova Insurance. They were able to get me full coverage with my preferred insurer, whereas my Brokerlink agent indicated that it wasn’t possible.

A word of caution to check around, as I’m very skeptical of Brokerlink after my experience.

Brokerlink is horrible customer service DO NOT GO WITH THEM they do not answer their phone and they are just the worst. I feel sorry for anyone that has to deal with them if you can switch right now!

Awful service, we tried 3 days in a row by phone and by email to get service. No one responded by email and when we reached someone by phone she hung up on us after waiting over half an hour. Went in person and was able to get the documentation done to insure our atv at a later date which we didn't have yet. He told us just to call when we would know the date and the insurance would be activated. LOL, wife sent an email 2 days ago and she received a general notification today that they received her email. Since I am picking up my atv tomorrow we decided to call to make sure to have the insurance in hand. Waited 38 min to get someone who hung up again cause he couldn't hear us. Called again but we were already on route to the office. We got there before anyone answered the phone. The same agent was assigned to us and we told him the insurance needed to be activated for tomorrow. We got our temporary slip but on they way home we decided to check it and hold and behold the insurance starting date was wrong. If I had gone an taken my atv for a ride I wouldn't have been covered since the date in effect is in 2 weeks. So tomorrow we need to drive another 30 min to fix this error. Hopefully the agent will correct the error if he reads his emails before we get to the office. We will be changing broker next year.

I’ve been a customer of bronerlink’s for years. They bought out the small town agent I used to use. I can literally never get a hold of these “bleeping” people. Horrible service, you can sit on hold for hours at a time and nobody picks up. The only way you can get a somewhat quick response is if you type URGENT in an email to them.

Horrible customer service. Was lied to because agent didn't bother getting the right information before giving it to me. Took 10 days and a 1 hour phone call to get information for what I had to pay after cancelling my policy. No one knows anything and they just blame it on others. SOOOO HAPPY to have switched to another insurance provider where I am saving over $1500 per year and agents can answer questions!

Took 19 days to get insurance, repeatedly ignored, when you call the office they either place you on hold for 20 min then hang up on you (3x) or they transfer you to another city and say they cannot help you. Worst of the worst service, it's horrific how they treat people. No manager will return your call either.

Closed my office in Stittsville Ontario with no notice called the phone number on hold for 1 hour with no answer don’t no where there are now can email when they want more money they can email but never heard they were moving

ANSWER THE PHONE!!

Poor experience ! View the unique go after legibly given at the top.

I obtained a quote for home and car insurance from Brokerlink on July 4/25, which I declined during the phone call. I was initially delighted to be dealing with a Canadian entity which they verified via my initial phone call. They then forwarded a policy to me via LinkedIn with the expectation I would accept and sign via docusign, I believe within a day after declining their offer. I also declined this LinkedIn offer/quote. I requested in writing they discontinue contact with me - to no avail. They continue to call me daily regarding their quote - including today, July 9/25. Be aware of this process!

Update: 7/30/25
UNBELIEVABLE. I receive an email from Brokerlink today offering to 'continue the conversation.' Absolutely not!

Thank you so much Arnold for all your help with my insurance , I really appreciate it I couldn't ask for better service you're great man have a good day, again I couldn't be any happier thank you so much .

No one answers the phones. The new way they have it set up you can’t get through to a person on the phone. Very clear they are trying to force clients to use an online portal. But when you need a person you have to be able to connect. Ridiculous poor service.
