This was the smoothest online buying experience I have ever had. Before Square One came to my attention, I suffered through a number of long-winded and frustrating review processes with other brand name insurers, only to be informed at the end of the process that they do not provide short-term renters insurance! Square One not only provides very cost-effective coverage, but the process was exceptionally painless. Highly recommended!
These guys are terrific! The entire online experience of purchasing was the easiest ever, and they blow the 'big guys' out of the water! The customer reps are exceptionally friendly, kind, and patient... I can't even begin to tell you. I also dealt with Rachel LaHay... she was outstanding and deserves a raise, recognition, and promotion. Not to mention, Square One is the cheapest quote I saw anywhere in Toronto. Thanks guys!
This entire process was the most painless I've experienced while getting auto insurance. The two folks I spoke with, Eran and Stephanie were delightful and absolutely helpful. 10/10 would do it again.
I was hesitant at first but once I got to the end, I realized that I could play around with deductibles and add or take away things I don’t need right now. I felt much better and my quote went down a couple hundred a year. I also really liked the fact that I didn’t have to talk to anyone or wait for a phone call. Once I was happy with my quote and ready to “sign on the dotted line” I clicked the button, paid the fee, and I’m done! Thanks for making it so easy!! :)
Eran Azan was the most helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. He provided clear, thorough answers to all of my questions and concerns. Very assuring of all of the features of Square One, and is even going over the top - investigating a unique situation I have. I did not feel rushed or that any of my questions were not worthy. Eran made the whole experience feel incredibly empowering. Square One certainly is a competitor in the market of house insurance and I feel very confident with this coverage. Thank you so much, Eran, for such a pleasant call.
Square One is unique, not only in terms of affordability and customization, but also in the platform they've built - it's easy to use, easy to navigate, all policies are clearly laid out, and if you need customer support, they are very responsive by phone. I specifically spoke with Eric Smith who helped me complete my insurance purchase in no time.
Fantastic price and a totally hassle-free experience! Everything is super user-friendly and runs smoothly. I love how convenient it is — I can do it all online without having to talk to anyone. No surprises, no random fees — just consistent, affordable payments. So transparent and straightforward, it’s a breath of fresh air. I’m not even thinking about going anywhere else. Well done, Square One! You should be seriously proud!
I recently got tenant insurance with Square One, and I’m really impressed! Not only is their coverage comprehensive, but their prices are the cheapest I could find. The sign-up process was quick, and the customer service team was super helpful. I feel confident knowing my belongings are protected without breaking the bank. Highly recommend for anyone looking for affordable tenant insurance!
The website is incredibly user-friendly, making it easy to navigate and customize my policy. Everything was laid out clearly, from the types of coverage to the pricing, so I knew exactly what I was getting. The process was quick, straightforward, and stress-free—something I truly appreciate when dealing with insurance. It’s refreshing to see a company that prioritizes simplicity and transparency. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable, easy-to-manage insurance!
An easy and efficient process. The walk-through procedure and additional details on the question helped me understand the coverage. Also, before proceeding, I had the opportunity to make subtle changes and see how it impacted the cost, providing the ability for refinement to suit my needs and budgeting. I recommend trying the process yourself to understand how easy insurance can be.
