Head straight to this office if you have any car insurance needs! This is the most impressive insurance company I have worked with. I recently moved from British Columbia to Ontario for graduate school. Most of my driving record was actually in the USA, so you can see I have a complex case to deal with! Despite this, James and his entire team gathered around me and worked their butts off (for many hours) to help me get the insurance rate I deserve as an experienced driver. I left their office feeling very happy, and incredibly grateful for the attention and great care they devoted to my entire situation. I highly recommend James, Dave, and the rest of their team at this office for your insurance needs. You really do feel like family when you're there, and each and every member of this office walks with the upmost integrity in their business and relations. You have to give them a visit!

James’s office is just excellent and the staff they have has no match when it comes to ontime service and resolution of your issues. You will be impressed by the level of service they provide and experience they have with insurance. I would like to use this opportunity to thank Miss BHAWNA NANDA for her for her expertise and input in reinstatement of my policy. I am also glad to the James has the staff on whom he can count on. I would surely recommend James, office for all your auto insurance needs. James should be proud to have Bhawna in the office because she would always take the whole ownership and would always go above and beyond to help the clients in every possible ways. The best thing about them is communication because they will always keeps you updated. Hope to have years of business with your office.

I would like to use this opportunity to thank Bhawana Nanda for her expertise and intense efforts in reinstatement of my policy..She is one of the rare picks that an Insurance office should always be having..Her office should be proud to have Bhawana as she takes whole ownership and would always go out of the box to help the clients in every possible ways. The greatest quality about Bhawana is her communication with clients. You will be impressed with her level of service and guidance. However, the only pain point is that James office didn't reduce the cost of Insurance even with a very clean driving record, I had to pay couple of bucks more which I wish could be waived off :) I would surely recommend James, office for all your auto insurance needs.

No stars if possible. After our truck was stolen, it was recovered by police shortly after. This insurance company has refused to pick up our work truck from the towing company because of a $90 dollar tow fee dispute. we are losing money every day. We make 80% of our sales this time of year. We have pleaded for our work truck to be released so they can start repairs. They said the damage was less then $200. it was a locked truck and they did not have a key. Impossible to have less then $200 damage. Even the police said there was body damage and the thieves tried to take apart the mechanical lift. TERRIBLE! Now we are stuck with this garbage brokerage. Do not sign up for this trap.

  • Panagiotis The Great

I had a really bad experience with my previous Insurance Agent and i was put in a unfavourable position. Then along came David Carvell who saved the day and got me covered on my new motorcycle. He went above and behind to get me the best coverage and in an expedited fashion. I was caught in a bind and Mr. Carvell came through. Also Tamara Khader is amazing very friendly and helpful. She had reached out several times to check in on me and my progress, she was even able to save me some money and on a fee. I can rest assured that im in good competent hands

  • Prabhjot singh

These guys are rip off.. once you set your policy with them you are stuck with them and they don’t help at all.. very poor customer service. I was told that my insurance will go down if i upgrade to G licence, when i called back to see, they refused any changes. Another thing is i had to leave canada for two months, and wanted to suspend my insurance for that time, they said they will suspend the insurance but it wont change my monthly payment. Ripped me off for 460$ every month.

  • Melanie Hicke

When my state farm broker retired and transferred all his clients to James, I was nervous I wouldn’t get the same care. Now I have had all of my insurance needs with James for more years than I can remember, I was silly to be nervous! He is always amazing to work with. Pam has been a staple in making sure I have what I need, when I need it and always makes sure I get the best dollar figure. I highly recommend James and his team whenever I’m asked who I have insurance through.

  • Terrance Zatylny

Felt with James office 8 years ago, sadly I had to leave because there old motorcycle pricing was too high to justify staying with them. There service went above and beyond what I would of expected from anywhere. Sadly I left and they completely understood why. There new pricing for my gsxr1000 is amazing and I'm glad to be back with them, even though I have moved 1.5hrs away they will always be the best "people to deal with as far as insurance goes.

  • Esther

The worst insurance company ever. Was told after a few months I will be charged less never happened kept getting charged over $300 for the basic insurance…. Only the get another insurance telling me to pay less thank $200 saying am not to be charged this much…. Also billed over a month and was told will be refunded only $67 because I canceled a month early.. had to cancel to spare myself the unnecessary billing

  • Wilson Fonseca

James it is one of the best persons I have ever met.He and his professional team are always ready to help you on the best way possible to answer your questions about insurance, providing you the best of their knowledge and effort to satisfy your needs. He and his team are always there ready to help and to tend you a hand. If you need an excellent insurance provider do not doubt to contact him.

  • Karamveer Singh

Your service was excellent. Many thanks for you kind and efficient service. I did spoke to one of the kind and pleasant agent BHAWANA NANDA, she was truly amazing and helpful as she tried every possible way to help me out. Thank you for you help. I have already and will definitely continue to recommend your services to others in the future. Wishing you all a lovely day and weekend.

  • Anisha 2215

Absolutely WORST. I wish I could give you guys zero stars for never helping your clients. I was always charged highest amounts of insurance rates on my car. They troubled me a lot for unnecessary documents out of purpose and always threatened to cancel the policy for unnecessary reasons. Please don’t believe this Insurance agent, you will regret it a lot.

  • M&J Cleaning Services

We have been with Desjardins Insurance for over 5 years now. Our experience has been great thus far! Any questions or concerns we had, Tamara would be on it and in a few minutes everything was resolved with no issues at all! We highly recommend this company for any of your insurance needs. Thank you James, Pam and Tamara for providing great service!

  • Dave Watters

James is a great guy and runs a great office. James has served me for over 5 years. If you want an insurance office that actually sincerely cares about you and will be with you every step of the way during a claim, then this office is for you. I love that it is actually possible to call and talk to James rather than deal with a call centre.

  • Exclamation1

We've been with James for over a decade now. We are very happy that we went with him since we brought our first car. This is an insurance company that always has someone to help and answer your questions. We love you guys. Even we move to Kitchener/Waterloo area but we are still with them. Thank you so much James. Mike and Jocelyn :)

  • Abhishek Rawat

I would like to thank Ms Bhawana for always helping me out with my concerns related to my auto insurance. She always take care of all the things going right and correctly on time. Because of her i got my documents verified on time. I would definitely recommend James clarkson Desjardins to my family and friends.

  • Oriana Metaxas

I decided to insure my motorcycle with David Carvell because the insurance premium was significantly cheaper than any of the quotes I had received elsewhere. Since then I have received nothing but outstanding service, and everyone that I have spoken to from the agency has been extremely friendly and helpful.

  • Brianne D

I would just like to thank James and his office for the great job they do in taking care of my insurance! My family and I love working with James for our home and car insurance policies. They always answer the phone with a smile and take good care whenever we have questions or concerns. Thanks James!

James Clarkson and his team had been an amazing support with insurance and financial services for me and my family. Since day one they'd been always looking for the best choice among their portfolio of options for my our needs. I totally recommend James Clarkson as the best option.

We have switched to this agency a year ago and are glad we made the effort. Not only are we saving a substantial amount annually, we get the same agent every time we have inquiries. Consistency; congeniality, and reliability are so important for our confidence.

I can't say enough good about this insurance agency. I dealt with David Carvell who was responsive, professional, and a true asset to this office. He understood my unique situation and found the best path forward. I cannot recommend this agency or David enough.

I dealt directly with James but everybody in his office is very nice, very charismatic, and easy to deal with. Out of all the insurance brokers I talked before, James provided me with the best prices and best service as an advisor.
