Saved $120

Very easy and clear policy creation process. It's my first experience with Squareone. Their step-by-step policy wizard saved me aprox $120 a year over my existing TD Insurance policy

Buyers Beware

It may be easy to get a policy with Square One, however, do not expect to get good customer service. They only believe in taking your money and not giving you anything in return. God help you if you actually have to make a claim. I know people who had to battle, for excessively long periods of time, with them to get covered what was rightfully outlined in their policy. As fast as they will take your money and give you a policy they will take it away even if it is due to their error. They will argue with you on the phone, talk over you and will not even try to listen to you. This includes managers as well as customer service reps. This was my experience - they cancelled my policy due to their systems inability to process payment from my visa. They cancelled my policy immediately without any grace period. I even offered to provide proof from my bank that it was their error and they would not even listen. When I asked to speak to the manager and the manager kept talking over me, would not even listen and kept blaming me. When I asked how it is my fault if their system couldn't process my payment (one of their own employees admitted that their system has difficulties processing certain credit cards) they said it was my responsibility to ensure payment was made. If I gave the correct payment info and the funds were available, how am I responsible for their systems error??? If I could give them a negative rating I would. Stay away from this company!

Poor Sales Support

by irate on Jul 15, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

I was pleasantly surprised by the online experience when requesting a quote from Square One, the questions were comprehensive and clear. The resulting quote was reasonable, but I was directed to speak with a representative to finalize the purchase. After answering (again) most of the questions I had filled-out online the resulting quote came-in nearly 50% higher than the online quote, what a waste of time.

From that point forward my experience with sales/support team was infuriating. I received nothing but short unhelpful email replies. I honestly felt as if they did not want my business. I certainly went elsewhere, and I'm very very pleased to have saved $600 annually by insuring with someone else.

Thanks for wasting my time Square One.

No one else would cover me!

by Ari C. on Jul 12, 2016
4 out of 5 stars

I'm a Vancouver renter in the Millennial age bracket with a good job and when I moved in with three roommates to save money, my insurance company of seven years refused to cover me any longer. SquareOne was the only company that would write me a policy! Nicole Neufeld was enormously helpful and the whole process was super-easy.

Great service

I've been without any home insurance for 2 years because the prices were too high. Now that I'm renewing my mortgage I need insurance. Square one offered me a competitive quote and allowed me to maximize all deductibles to minimize cost. Living in Vancouver where 90% of my net worth is in the land rather than any structures, it makes sense to minimize coverage and and annual insurance costs.

Households in Alberta pay, on average, approximately $60/month in homeowners’ insurance costs. We can help to push these costs even further down. Get a house insurance quote today to start saving today. Rates start at $20/month.

Awesome Madison Lynch!

by Mainur Rashid on Apr 29, 2016

I had been with a major company for property insurance for 17 years. However, in the last couple of years their customer services had gone down the drain whereas the premiums went skyrocketing. It seemed that they have taken me for granted. So after 17 years I went for insurance shopping online and came into contact with Square one. What a pleasant shock and experience it was! The Agent, Madison Lynch, handled my case with extreme patience, care, empathy and professional expertise. I was tremendously impressed with the way she calmly explained everything that the policy should cover and the choices I had. At the end, I bought the policy with much lower premium and through a tremendous customer experience. Keep it up Madison!

unreliable quote via Kanetix

Not sure if this is common experience.
I got a home insurance quote from Square One via Kanetix. Then I contacted Square One via Kanetix. My final quote became much more, as much as 50% more. Liability and deductible are the same. I did not choose any optional offer.
