How can I purchase Intact home insurance?

There are two ways you can purchase Intact home insurance. You can get an Intact home insurance quote for your house, condo, or apartment directly from Belair Direct online or by phone. Your other option is to use one of Intact Canada’s approved insurance brokerages, for instance, Surex Direct. Brokerages are certified resellers of insurance products for various insurers across Canada. Each brokerage establishes agreements with individual insurance companies to offer different home insurance products suited to every individual.

The benefit of purchasing directly is that you are connecting with the source, but the drawback is that they are on selling what they have on offer and their expertise will generally fall within their own products. Alternatively, buying home insurance from a broker is that they have a better understanding of what’s in the market and can provide you with the best home insurance for your specific needs. The main drawback of purchasing insurance from a broker is it may cost you a bit more than if you had chosen to purchase directly from the insurer. However, a broker may be able to find you a better price with another insurer. As always, we recommend you take the time to shop and compare home insurance providers to make sure you are getting the best policy for the right price to meet your needs.
