Our verdict
Best for
Homeowners and renters who want to pay only for the coverage they actually need
Not for
Anyone who wants auto insurance bundled with home, which Square One does not offer
What we like
- Coverage is itemised rather than bundled, so you can see what each element costs
- Online quotes and policy management
- Available across most provinces
Where it could improve
- Home and tenant only, so no auto bundling discount
- Not available in every province
Products
One block per product, each with its own numbers. Never blended into a single range.
Coverage types
Home, condo, tenant and car
Good to know: Quotes take about five minutes and claims are filed online through your account. Home, condo and tenant cover is sold in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, while car insurance is available only in Ontario and Quebec.
