To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Awful Service Post Buyout

Ever since aha! was bought and merged with Onlia under the investment company everything is now awful. Customer service is very unresponsive and when they do answer it's very basic and not user specific based on the situation. If I didn't get a discount from my company I would not choose them again.

Absolutely Insane Wait Times

It literally took a month and a half of me emailing and calling these guys to try and switch my insurance over to a different province.

And because it took so long, I found a different insurance company that was willing to give me a much better price, I spent another month+ emailing and calling them asking for a letter of experience so that I could switch companies.

The worst part about that is that they waited until a few days after my insurance bill was paid to finally send the letter, and not only would they not refund me for this month, they tacked on an extra cancellation fee for me.

The only positive thing I can say is that they were polite in the exchanges I had with them. But if you value your time and don't want to have to sit there for hours on a phone calling over and over, or emailing over and over, do yourself a favour and find a different company.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, John. We apologize that it took longer than expected to provide you with a quote when you moved to a new province. We're happy to see that you were able to find suitable coverage elsewhere.
 
Regarding the delay in receiving your letter of experience, we did follow up with your insurance company to try to expedite your request. However, they were not able to get this document back to you in a sufficient time frame, which was out of our control.
 
We were able to process your policy cancellation as soon as we received your signed documents, but your insurance company would not waive its cancellation fee even after our request. They are not required to waive it, but we did try for you.
 
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced trying to switch your coverage. We appreciate your feedback and will improve our internal processes moving forward.
 
Warm regards,
Team Onlia
