Pros and cons

Pros

  • One quote flow covers auto, home and renters, so car, home and life buyers can start in the same place.
  • Monthly payments are available, which spreads a premium across the year instead of one bill.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is available by phone, email or the help centre.
  • The site is built around expats, so expats have cover laid out in one place rather than by provider.

Cons

  • Entry premiums start at CAD 185, above the €2.92 to €29.72 range most listed providers sit at.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, with no live chat in the list.
  • Pricing runs on monthly payments, so the cost is spread across the year rather than settled in one go.

Frequently asked questions

What is Kanetix.ca?+

Kanetix.ca is a comparison site, not an insurer, and it trades under the legal entity Rates.ca Group Ltd in Canada. It has been running since 1999 and passes your details to several providers so you can see quotes side by side rather than one at a time.

What is the cheapest premium here?+

Entry premiums start at CAD 185 on this site. Most providers in the wider listing sit at €2.92 to €29.72, so the opening figure here is a high floor. You can still run a quote to see whether a provider comes in lower for your own details.

Can I pay monthly instead of yearly?+

Yes, monthly payments are available, and the pricing model is monthly. That suits anyone who would rather spread the cost across the year than pay one premium up front. The amount comes from the quote returned for your details rather than from a fixed price list.

What kinds of insurance can I quote?+

You can quote across auto, home and renters in one place. That means auto, home, renters, life, travel, pet and motorcycle cover, which suits a household holding more than one policy and wanting the comparison done together rather than provider by provider.

How do I get help with a quote?+

Help runs on email, phone and help centre, so you can reach the team by email or phone, or work through the help centre on your own. There is no live chat in that list, which matters if you prefer putting a quote question in writing while you compare.

Who is the site aimed at?+

The site is built around expats, so newcomers and expats are the group it is aimed at. If you have just moved to Canada and need auto, renters or travel cover set up quickly, running one quote across auto, home and renters saves contacting providers one by one.

Is it regulated?+

Kanetix.ca is a comparison site, comparison site, rather than an insurer, and the broker registration listed for Canada sits with the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO). Your cover is arranged with whichever provider returns the quote, so read the policy terms with them before signing.

How does it rank on price?+

On entry premium it ranks at 224 of 251 brands listed, so the cheapest policy here is not the cheapest you will find elsewhere. Its overall score is 1.2, with cost at 1.2, which points to price as the weak spot.
