Easiest rental insurance.

I have only ever used Square One for my rental insurance. They have such an easy straightforward way of doing things through their website. It really makes it easy to choose what you need and what you don't. Moving is a breeze, just change your address and your settings are all saved for you. All at an affordable price? Can't go wrong!

Excellent service.

I've been using Square One since I switched from another company in 2019, and I have nothing but positive things to say. Customer service is always excellent, tweaking and updating my policy online is a breeze, and the price is excellent for what I have on my policy.

Happy with Square One.

Thank you for the easy renewal for our home insurance. We have been very happy with Square One and were really happy that upon renewal our home insurance went down. I can not remember the last time, if ever, that upon renewing home insurance our policy for the year was less than the year before.

Process is simple and clear, and help was readily available.

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.

Very knowledgeable and helpful agents.

I called various insurance providers to get quotes for my home insurance, but once I spoke to Kayla at Square One, it was clear that she had an in-depth knowledge of Square One products. Kayla had the patience to understand my needs and guide me through the entire process, an exceptionally intuitive approach and she tweaked the policy to my specific needs. I ended up switching home insurance for my other house too which I hadn’t planned. Thanks to Kayla for helping me save money without compromising my core needs.

Easy peasy.

When I phoned, Alaina was super helpful to me as a first-time buyer and patiently explained anything I had questions about. Then I thought it was pretty cool you could customize it and mull it over online before purchasing.

Incredible, from start to finish.

I had the unfortunate experience of navigating a flood shortly after moving into our new apartment. It's supposed to be a pain in the rear to go through the claims process. It's confusing, it even feels a bit embarrassing—but the team at Square One (and their partners) were incredible to deal with. They made a really bad situation good(-ish). Super responsive, sympathetic to what happened, treated me like a human. I'm a customer for life ... if only they offered more than just property insurance!

Efficient and polite.

The people I dealt with were polite, understandable, and especially patient and clear in explaining options or choices. They were never pushy, patronizing or arrogant. It was a pleasure.

So easy and thorough.

I literally set up new rental insurance at my new place in less than 10 minutes online. The questioning was easy, thorough and concise. I had my new policy by email just a minute after completing it online. Pricing was very fair with yearly and monthly payment options. Highly recommend!

Nailed it.

Had 7 minutes to get this done while riding the SkyTrain home and got it completed as I rolled into my stop. Kudos!

Different than other providers

home insurance customers love and trust

4.7 out of 5. That's how customers rate Square One Insurance Services after writing 25,764 reviews. And with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, people clearly love the way we're changing home insurance.

Digital platform

With Square One, you can get a quote, buy a policy and even submit a claim – all online, from the comfort of your own home. Quotes and policies are managed through your online account, but if you need help, expert assistance from one of our licensed insurance agents is just a webchat or phone call away.

Superior protection

All policies from Square One represent the highest level of protection currently available in Canada. We make it easy for you to protect your home against common perils (such as water damage and theft) and we even cover the costs of rebuilding your home to meet the latest bylaw or code changes.

Guaranteed building replacement coverage

Get the peace of mind you deserve. Simply insure your home to Square One’s suggested limit and, if you experience a loss, we’ll rebuild your home, even if the cost of doing so exceeds your limit of insurance.

Personalized coverage

All policies protect most common personal property items including laptops, smartphones and furniture. If you own specialty property (such as bicycles or fine arts) you can also add coverage to your policy. That way, you only pay to insure what you actually own.

Need to make a claim?

Making a claim with Square One is easy. In fact, most of the process can be done online. You'll get your own dedicated adjuster to work with you from start to finish to make sure you’re back on your feet in no time. And, Square One pays out on 90% of all claims submitted.

Interest-free monthly payments

We’re confident you’ll love our service and stay with us. That’s why we don’t lock you into a contract. With us, you can pay monthly or annually and there’s no fixed-term contract. You can also change your payment preferences through your online account.

Thousands choose us every month
