The price is increased year after year so even if you get a better quote initially you'll end up paying way more (they refer to this as "standard practice"). The policy changes yearly as well and of course for the worst for you.
All of the fake reviews they have here speak volume how badly they need to cover up for their service.
I was pleasantly surprised by the online experience when requesting a quote from Square One, the questions were comprehensive and clear. The resulting quote was reasonable, but I was directed to speak with a representative to finalize the purchase. After answering (again) most of the questions I had filled-out online the resulting quote came-in nearly 50% higher than the online quote, what a waste of time.
From that point forward my experience with sales/support team was infuriating. I received nothing but short unhelpful email replies. I honestly felt as if they did not want my business. I certainly went elsewhere, and I'm very very pleased to have saved $600 annually by insuring with someone else.
Thanks for wasting my time Square One.
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.
Square One's customer relationship management is to be applauded. Great follow ups, seamless transition between online quotes and phone conversations, and a no-hassle way of getting a policy in place with a minimum of overhead. Rates came across as very competitive. Luckily, we haven't had to make a claim yet, so I can't comment on the claims side - I hope the standard is as high there.
Square One has really impressed me. I did tons of research on home insurance and determined Square One was the best option for me. I was so impressed with their product, their rates, their online presence, and customer service. So naturally I was really upset when they denied me coverage because my older home needs a new roof and some exterior work.
I expressed disappointment online, and in a matter of minutes was contacted by a rep who worked with me to get the coverage I wanted (Thanks Jeffrey!). Very pleased with their prompt, helpful service and flexibility.
It's so easy and I could customize my coverage. Took even more coverage from the previous policy and saved $500.00 annually. I realized I was being ripped off by my previous broker. I recommend this hassle free tool to every one. Please note in two occasions my home policy was cancelled due to miscommunications (having no fault of mine). But I was forced to pay extra last two years. With Square One, I really now have a peace of mind. Nevertheless, not sure how would they behave once I need them most. Overall, it looks Square One would be good.
Canadians pay, on average, approximately $20 per month in tenants insurance. Do you rent or plan to rent a property and want to reduce insurance costs? We will help you get a cheap tenant insurance quote today.
I purchased my online policy in 20 minutes and saved over $140 yearly. I would highly recommend you try out sq1.
I have been with SquareOne for the last four years. Last year, when I went from a rental to a condo, they readjusted my policy for the new place. The cost was almost double which I thought just made sense given that there are additional items to insure when it came to a condo (~$95/m).
Recently, my policy is up for renewal again so I started doing some shopping. Sonnet gave me a quote of ~$50. I thought there was something wrong so I called Sonnet. They walked me through the comparison and the coverage was the same. After that, I called SquareOne to complain and they lowered my policy $30 to $65 the same day. Normally I would be happy about this but I found it very strange they were able to do that so quickly. Tells me they were gouging me. I will likely be moving onto Sonnet.
Quick and easy, seamless policy, knowledgeable staff. Price was fair. Will recommend to friends and family

Denied my water claim even though I have full coverage. Scam bam bunch of dishonest people. The other reviews say it all. Good prices are good for nothing.
The price looks good for the first year, and it increases every year, did not make a claim yet.
