Insurance quotes

by Trevor H. on May 2, 2015
5 out of 5 stars

Square One's customer relationship management is to be applauded. Great follow ups, seamless transition between online quotes and phone conversations, and a no-hassle way of getting a policy in place with a minimum of overhead. Rates came across as very competitive. Luckily, we haven't had to make a claim yet, so I can't comment on the claims side - I hope the standard is as high there.

This company impressed me

Square One has really impressed me. I did tons of research on home insurance and determined Square One was the best option for me. I was so impressed with their product, their rates, their online presence, and customer service. So naturally I was really upset when they denied me coverage because my older home needs a new roof and some exterior work.

I expressed disappointment online, and in a matter of minutes was contacted by a rep who worked with me to get the coverage I wanted (Thanks Jeffrey!). Very pleased with their prompt, helpful service and flexibility.

NEGATIVE OPTION BILLING

by andrew on May 1, 2015
1 out of 5 stars

I had insurance with them for a year with no problem. After the year they sent me a new policy, even though I had not requested it. I called Square One because it seemed strange to send me a complete policy and not just a notice of renewal, they told me to ignore the renewal if I didn't want to continue with the policy.

Of course 2 weeks later Square One illegally withdrew the funds from my bank account without notifying me. I found out when I bounced a cheque. They agreed they made a mistake, but have not issued me a refund. I called my bank and after 30 mins they said I would have to go to the branch to fill out some forms, which are not available online, then it could take weeks to investigate and get a refund.

Square One is using NEGATIVE OPTION BILLING PRACTICES that are illegal in BC. How do they get away with this?!

Are you a condo unit tenant? Remember that neither your condominium corporations' policy nor your landlord's insurance policy protects you as a tenant (3rd part liability, contents, etc.). If you do not have your own insurance policy, get your condominium insurance quote today.

Awesome overall exprience

The quote I get from SquareOne may not be the lowest, but I didn't hesitate to buy from them because of these pleasant experiences:
* Obtain quote and make purchase online.
* All records are kept online
* Clear explanation of policy and choices
* The policy is more tailored for condo insurance, such as covering Condo property deductible assessments.
* Helpful webchat
* Positive feedbacks from multiple channels, including insureye, google review etc.

Thank you for the quick and friendly service

I was told by my regular house insurer that they couldn't cover me when I started renting my property out. I also spent 30 mins on hold with a major bank's insurance department before being told they couldn't help me before finding Square One online. I was delighted when I could apply for a policy with Square One online and speak with a knowledgeable advisor over the phone.

Quick and easy.

Quick and easy form to fill out. I like that the form state gets saved for each section that is filled so that I come back to it at a later time.

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.

The online quote was easy to follow, yet comprehensive. Explains what each coverage in clear and concise way. Takes the hassles out of insurance quoting and buying experience. Highly recommended.

Nice, helpful and really knowledgeable.

Dustin was great! He helped me with what I needed, gave me a great rate. I then got married so I wasn't able to get back to him for a while, but he did follow up. Once I had the time I went back to my follow up email from Dustin told him to give me a call and then he waited patiently on the phone with me to get my banking information to set up my policy today. I believe there should be a press one and it should lead to Dustin because he was nice, helpful and really knowledgeable. Thank you!

With so many different choices this ended up to be the cheapest rate by far and I still feel extremely comfortable with the amount of coverage! Also very easy and convenient to buy the policy online with different payment options.
