Stay Away

by Stay Away from Square One on Mar 3, 2017
1 out of 5 stars

I was with Square One for several years. One reason I went with them was their competitive rates. When I signed with them you were able to choose ( within a window) the insured value of your home. They said that was what made them different. Slowly this insured value began to increase until it was 25- 30 more than other Brokers. My renewal last year had an increase of over 100 %. Also, the staff do not have the knowledge to answer simple questions. It is like they are reading from a prgrammed set of answers. For example, I installed a sump pump. I got numerous email questions on what was powering the pump, etc. After they finally made the change to my policy my rate INCREASED! I could not get a reasonable answer as to why so I deleted the pump and my rate when back DOWN. I had too many problems to mention. I just cancelled my policies and went with another Broker.
Stay away from Squqre One!

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

No one else would cover me!

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.

Awesome Madison Lynch!

by Mainur Rashid on Apr 29, 2016
5 out of 5 stars

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!

Farran promptly replied my email inquiry the following business day and I was able to work get instructions on calculating for some information that I needed. I have decided to purchase an insurance policy with your company for my new apartment starting Oct 22, 2015

Almost Perfect

by Stephen G. on Oct 7, 2015
4 out of 5 stars

Very user friendly, easy, straightforward application process. I came for a quote and since it was good I bought (which was equally easy). The only suggestion I have is the question about alarm systems. When you say "activated regularly" does that mean turned on (alarm is set?) or does that mean triggered (smoke detector goes off due to smoke or burglar alarm due to break-in). I assume the former but it was a little unclear and since my quote didn't change I just said No.

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.

Applying & purchasing was easy

My insurance renewal was mailed to me and it seemed like it was too expensive. I found Square One by searching on the internet and when it said you could get a quote online I thought I'll give it a try. Often these free quote things are really just a way to mine your contact information so someone can phone you, but with Square One it was a detailed, but understandable questionnaire resulting in an actual quote! The quote saved me 25% over the price of my renewal and furthermore I was able to convert the quote into a policy with just a few keystrokes. The true measure of an insurance company is always how they handle a claim, but unless you have prior claims you never know that until something happens, but from the point of view of obtaining a quote and purchasing a policy from the comfort of your own computer Square One is a winner!
