“Covered for water backups and more”

Other providers can leave you feeling unprotected at the worst possible time. Most policies charge you extra for critical water backup protection. The comprehensive policies offered by Square One protect against all types of loss, including:

  • Break-ins
  • Burst pipes
  • Fires

“Love that I only pay for what I need”

The core protection you get with Square One is a great start compared to most other home insurance providers. Common personal property is automatically covered so you don’t have to itemize everything. But you might want to make sure you have protection for specialty property, like bikes, sporting equipment, jewellery, musical instruments and more.

When you get your quote online, it’s easy to quickly select any additional items you want to insure. No more unnecessary dollars spent on coverage you don’t need. We call this relevant protection.

“A company focused on satisfaction”

The professionals that started Square One have more than a combined 100 years of experience in the insurance industry. They recognized that traditional home insurance wasn’t meeting the needs of customers. So, they designed a completely new program from scratch. As a result, you can now:

  • Choose exactly what you want to insure and for how much
  • Buy directly online or save for later
  • Get instant coverage the minute you buy
