"I'm glad that I've made the switch to Square One. I notified my previous carrier that I was shopping around for a better deal. On 2 separate calls to my old carrier, I was not warned that I would be hit with a huge cancellation fee despite continuing my long time emergency vehicle/roadside service insurance! ... " Read more I was told that there would be roughly a 30 day grace period to renew. So, I continued to do my due diligence looking for the best possible deal. Square One offered excellent advice and explained which features I did and did not need and how they would be processed if a claim was raised. I went back to the old carrier to negotiate but their policies were fixed and couldn't be adjusted except on the building value (i.e. pay for unnecessary coverage). Square One's website for developing a policy is very helpful, especially if you're trying to stay within a certain monthly budget or you need to see the itemized allocations. Plus there is no additional finance charge for paying on a monthly basis (not like the other guys!) and Square One offer notify the other party of the cancellation. They gave me a standard form that I completed and I faxed it to the old carrier. Simple. I saved over $300. The old carrier badgered my husband to pay a $95.61 cancellation fee over the phone the day after. (We were 3 days past the expiry date but the charge for the coverage was not pro rata.) I followed up with Visa. They were sympathetic but did not want to charge an additional $10 to dispute the charges as my husband did accept the charges over the phone albeit under duress. They suggested that I report the incident to the BBB or Consumer Protection Services so others don't get misled. If I knew of the possible charge, I would definitely have paid more and extended the coverage for another year. i.e. made the switch at the next renewal date. Square One does not charge customers for cancelling policies. I am very pleased with the customer service I have experienced thus far dealing with Jas Sandhu and Sheilagh Middleton at Square One. They were knowledgeable, professional, friendly and prompt to reply to my calls and emails. Complaints regarding the excessive cancellation fee was received by the old carrier and the agent acknowledged that they should have given me fair warning. I explained that I wasn't expecting a complete reversal and that perhaps a nominal fee would be okay. I was told that my request would be forwarded to the old carrier's supervisor, but no phone call, email or letter with their response was given. I'm so happy I didn't have to make a claim with that company. I will recommend Square One to my friends and family. Thanks for your help!"
