Questions or Concerns About Your Auto Insurance?

If you have concerns or questions about your auto insurance, follow the steps below:

1. Brokers and Agents

The first point of contact is the broker, agent, or direct writer, who sold you your auto insurance. Brokers and agents will represent your best interests, and may offer independent advice on resolving issues or addressing concerns about your auto insurance.

2. Insurance Companies

If your concerns were not addressed or you were not able to reach a resolution with your broker, agent, or direct writer, your next step is to contact your insurance company’s Complaint Liaison Officer or Ombudsperson. Click here to find the contact for your insurance company.

3. General Insurance OmbudService

If your insurance broker, agent, or insurance company representative has not resolved your concerns, the next step is to contact the General Insurance OmbudService (GIO).

The GIO is an independent organization helping Albertans resolve their concerns, questions, or disputes with their auto insurer by providing mediation services, free of charge. More information about the GIO and how their process works is available on their website.
