5 Reasons Ontarians are Choosing a Modern-day Broker Experience

Having opened its online operation in Canada’s most populous province a shade over two months ago, people in Ontario are seeing the Surex advantage and making the switch to Canada’s fastest growing online insurance brokerage.

We can highlight our placing 5th on the 2017 Top 10 Brokerages in Canada list by Insurance Business or our 30th place recognition on the 2016 Startup 50 Canada list by Canadian Business and PROFIT, but how does that benefit you?!

Here are 5 reasons to choose Surex and our modern-day broker experience.

Multiple offers in one quote

Your time is valuable. We know this.

Instead of sitting back and just saying that, we went out and did something about it.

We have partnered with nine insurers in Ontario, including four-of-the-five largest insurers in Canada. Our partners actively manage over $20 billion in insurance premiums annually.

 

It takes 5-10 minutes to do an online auto, home or condo/tenant quote. You can do the quote 24/7 and receive up to nine quotes, which represent our partners offering prices for your business.

How long would it take for you to hit the pavement and get nine quotes?! Could you get the quotes at midnight on a Saturday?!

We are 100% transparent with pricing

‘’But what is the absolute best price you can do for me?’’

With Surex, there is no need to ask or wonder this question. We believe in being 100% transparent with our customers, which is why you – the customer – will see the exact ‘’Compare Offers’’ page your Surex broker sees.

Included on the ‘’Compare Offers’’ page are our automated discounts.

Every insurance company will have different discounts they offer, as well as different percentages off for the discounts they offer.

When your personal broker is verifying your quote, they will ask and confirm a few questions, just to make sure you’re taking advantage of all the available discounts to you.

Personal broker experience

Once you start a quote, you will be assigned to a personal broker. Your broker will be there to help you through the quote process (if needed), answer any questions you have and try to find as many discounts as they can for you.

The best part?!

The broker who helped you throughout the purchase process, who you have developed a working relationship with, will always be your broker!

If you’re a month, a year or 10 years into your policy with us and need to make a change or update, you’ll be dealing with the same person, who is familiar with you and your policy.

Quote, compare & buy 100% online

You have seen how you can get your quote online and compare it to other quotes. Now you need to purchase your policy.

You do that online, too!

Using your smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop, you will sign for your insurance documents through e-signature. After that, you will have access to instant proof of insurance.

Fill a void in the marketplace

As technology continues to shape and benefit how we live our lives, the void for a full-service online insurance brokerage in Ontario was clear.

‘’The demand for an online insurance broker platform in Ontario has been noticeable for years,’’ Ryan Kirk, VP of Operations (East) for Surex, said. ‘’Clients moving from Western Canada to Ontario were disappointed when they found out our services – or anything similar – weren’t available to them. That void has now been filled.’’

‘’Making a customer take time out of their day to walk into an office, sit at a desk – on someone else’s schedule – and manually provide information to obtain a product, that no one likes to buy, really dates traditional brokerages,’’ Alison Daniels, Licensed Insurance Broker for Surex, said. ‘’I have been in the insurance industry for 15 years. The ease of use for the customer – on their time and their schedule – with Surex is leading Canada forward into the digital revolution!’’

Alison joined Surex on April 3, 2017 (Ontario opening date).

Spend 5-10 minutes and see if making the switch to Surex, like Alison, is in your best interest.
