Purchasing auto insurance

  • With Onlia, you can do everything online, from getting a quote to purchasing your policy.Some situations will require you to speak to an Onlia insurance broker team, but otherwise you can get an insurance quote and policy anytime online.

    If you have an Onlia account, and looking to add a product, ensure you are signed into your account or give us a ring at 1 844-472-7905.

  • Only the registered owner(s) of either the home or car can purchase insurance for that item. Insurance is a legal contract, and unfortunately, you can not agree to a contract on behalf of someone else. This ensures that if something happens where a claim needs to be filed, the right people are getting the help they need.

  • We've made applying for and buying insurance an easy process that can be completed online or by giving us a call. By completing an application for insurance with us, you agree to all the legal rules and regulations that come with insurance policies in Ontario.

    You can set up your insurance quickly, and when it's convenient for you 😊

  • The addresses we have available are acquired from Canada Post records. Sometimes we’re unable to find addresses, make sure you’re entering your address properly and check again.If the address still isn't showing, just give us a call at 1 844-472-7905.

    Please keep in mind that you need to have a valid mailing address. A P.O. Box is a legitimate mailing address.

  • The price in your quote is based on the information you have entered. When finalizing your policy, we'll check with official records to verify certain details about your driving and insurance history. If there's a discrepancy, we may update your price to reflect what's officially on record.

  • Try going back to the start of your quote where you entered your vehicle details, and add your VIN into the vehicle search bar. This will give you the exact match.

  • We offer insurance to those who finance or lease their cars. However, you can’t purchase insurance for someone else.

  • Give us a call at 1-844-472-7905 and we'll try to find the best option for you. That being said, there are certain situations where we can’t offer insurance for people. This can be due to numerous factors, including the kind of car someone has, or their driving and insurance history.

  • When you confirm your purchase, you'll receive temporary documents via email that you can use to show your dealership.

    You can also view these online in your account by navigating to the Risks and Policies tab and selecting the policy you'd like to view. From here, you can click on the documents you want to view and download.

  • Effective dates can be as early as the next day and purchased up to 30 days in advance. Simply select the date that you want the coverage to take effect and confirm all the required steps in the process.

  • Once your purchase is confirmed, you're covered from the day you selected as your effective date. You'll be sent an email with temporary documents so you can begin driving right away, and you can also find this in your account once the effective date passes. You should print this out and keep it with you when you drive.

  • Unfortunately, we can’t cancel a policy with another company for you. Like buying a policy, only the policy owner can do that.
