Opinions on Echelon

Hey all,

I'm considering getting motorcycle insurance with Echelon via Dalton Timmis. I have a couple of speeding tickets and am a new rider so my options are limited. My only concern is the number of very negative reviews (well over 100) I see of Echelon on Google:

Google Maps

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

I'd like to know what experiences the GTA motorcycle community has had with Echelon. Great, good, bad, horrible? Would you recommend them?

Thanks in advance!
 
I was with them for several years
premiums just kept going up and up - no tickets or claims

this year I moved to Wawanesa - 2 bikes for less than one with Echelon
my broker - M&W was losing them anyway
I hear they were bought out by CAA
didn't think brokers were quoting them anymore

I just moved the other way, from Wawanesa to Echelon. I don't remember much about the enrollment process, which is probably a good sign. I will switch insurance companies at the drop of a hat, though - as soon as that increase letter hits my mailbox I start checking out quotes again
 
Been with them for 6 years now, zero complaints and my premium is dirt cheap. But then, I have a spotless driving record and an undesirable, oldballs bike.
 
Been with Echelon for about 14 years. Get other quotes every couple of years and they are usually the lowest or only a few dollars more than other companies so not worth switching to me. I'm over 65 and have one speeding ticket on my record. Ride a 1700cc cruiser style bike.
 
My car is with Desjardins. Bikes are with Echelon (3 yrs) through Dalton Timmis. I find their billing system a little antiquated. I can't get direct withdrawal. I paid on time the last two years but they still sent me a notice stating I was going to be cancelled for non-payment. I had to call Timmis and straighten it out each year. I get the impression they're on a shoe-string budget.

Don't expect an intelligent response from that user. Called them for a insurance quote when I needed to renew, was bluntly told I can't help you.
