I’ve insured two properties now with Square One Insurance. Their rates are always cheaper than the other companies, and I’m always able to contact a representative quickly without being on hold for hours. My recent investment property was insured in literally 10 minutes, with the amazing assistance from insurance agent C. Kathy Vallance. She was so sweet, personable and very knowledgeable when it came to everything related to short-term rental insurance and condo fees, etc. Thanks Kathy and Square One for making insurance needs so easy and stress-free.
Fabio Baida helped me at Square One. Figuring out coverage can be a bit daunting for newbies like me and making sure we interpret strata docs correctly. Square One has a super slick interface that's self-serve and has a great UI, but sometimes you just need someone to answer a couple questions to connect the dots. So I emailed Square One and Fabio followed up and we hopped on the phone and quickly figured it out. Really happy! Great easy-to-use modern interface, best
I spent a while looking at options for rental insurance. Even called a local broker. Square One provided, by far, the best process. The online forms clearly indicate what your options are, allow you to weigh the pros and cons of your selections against alternatives, and provide immediate feedback on price. The wording on the policy itself is also clear and easy to understand, and when I requested a callback to ask about coverage limits, I received a call right away, and the fellow I spoke with was super helpful.
Every time I’ve needed to change my policy they do it so quickly for me and so easily. They set it up online and I just review it! Also, I had a claim one time and they were so nice and helpful and paid out the claim ASAP! Recommend these guys to friends always.
We just renewed our insurance in less than 10 minutes! Square One makes it easy to understand what's in the policy we choose, how it affects the monthly premium, and what the exclusions are. Their materials are clear, easy to click through and select, and changes we made from last year's policy to this year's are clearly summarized. Love it! Highly recommend using!
Nothing but the best experiences with Square One. Knowledgeable Staff, so kind and courteous to deal with. Great products, simple user interface. I look forward to using them for our entire real estate portfolio. Great job, way to change the landscape of the industry, keep up the amazing work.
I love that it tailors the policy to your needs. I was able to easily answer questions online to ensure adequate coverage for items like our expensive bicycles and opt for less coverage for things we don’t have like expensive art or jewellery. The best quote I’ve gotten so far, while still ensuring adequate coverage. I signed up. Well done Square One! I’ll be sure to share the good word with my cycling community!
I was terrified in having to find insurance for a condo with a $250k strata deductible as I didn't even know what a strata deductible is... plus we want to rent out this condo short term, (and insurance companies don't cover that), all this was making my head spin. Then I got Birgitta on the phone—calm, smiling, and patient she explained everything and took me through the process. I can not express my gratitude as I was really dreading this task I had. Thank you Square One for being able to cover a complicated case. And Birgitta for helping me understand all without making me feel lost .
Just like they say in their advertising, it takes only 5 minutes to get a quote and buy a policy. The forms are easy to understand and complete. The questions are short and pertinent and you can reduce or opt out of some coverages if they are not applicable to your situation. When I phoned the office for some clarification my call was answered right away by Josh, who was very professional and helpful. I like the fact that the office is here in Vancouver and not back
I had the absolute pleasure and good fortune to speak directly with Darragh on the phone. He is absolutely patient, professional, and highly knowledgeable with the products Square One offers. I did not have any previous home insurance and Darragh helped me to compile a proposed policy catered to my home insurance needs. I am more than pleased with the quotes he came through with and I am confidently stating that I will be joining Square One Insurance as a new member. Thank you again, Darragh!

The insurance industry doesn't have the greatest reputation when it comes to claims. Many people fear their insurer will go to any length possible to avoid paying claims. At Square One, we’re different. We're there when you need us most.
How different? Legal jargon can be confusing, so we've created a transparency page to translate the legal language of your policy into plain English.
We're committed to changing how you think of insurance. We'll make sure your claim is handled quickly and fairly.
