Portage Mutual

by Jayson
(Irricana, Alberta, Canada)

Here's my review for Portage Mutual. The service is excellent. My agent knows me by name when I call, even if it's months in between calls.


They've been very supportive when my father was in the hospital with cancer, but the head office themselves were absolutely incompetent.


I was involved in an accident which was in a parking lot and deemed my fault. I had time off of work and decided to go and pay the deductible out of my pocket and give the money straight to the appropriate person.


I paid it 3 weeks in advance and from the gentleman that I dealt with he had to literally go 4 cubicles down to process the payment. Problem was that my payment somehow was late being processed.


Very disappointed in that aspect but my agent is the only person keeping me with Portage Mutual.

Canadian Auto Insurance Company NEW

Hi Jayson,

Oh dear! I have to admit that I would have been absolutely furious if that had happened to me. Sometimes the incompetence of certain individuals can be pretty mind boggling.


I hope that you weren't charged any late fees or had your claim held up as a result of this guy not processing your payment in a timely fashion.


It makes you wonder sometimes how these companies stay afloat or at least how some people keep their job. ;)


I'm glad to hear at least that your Portage insurance agent is someone you feel comfortable with and trust. However, let me encourage you to speak with them about your dissatisfaction.


From what I can gather, Portage Mutual Insurance company is a wholly Canadian insurance company. That's great for Canadian residents who want to "shop local." But, having looked at their website, it appears that they generally work through "brokers."


If that's the case, and your "agent" is actually a "broker" there's a good chance that they are not exclusively tied to Portage Mutual. They probably deal with a range of insurance providers and can not only get you a cheaper rate by checking around for you, but also find you a company that you'd be happier dealing with in future.


This way, you can still stick with your friendly "agent" yet give Portage the flick. Just something you may want to check into a little further. It may be that your agent is exactly that - a Portage agent exclusively, but it doesn't hurt to ask! ;)
