Frequently Asked Questions on Online Client Services
Can I make a claim online?
You can inform us of a home or auto loss at any time of the day or night using our Online Client Services—it only takes a few moments.

Are there any fees charged for cancelling my policy?
If you cancel your policy at your renewal date, no fees are charged. Your policy will be cancelled on a pro rata basis.
However, if you need to cancel your policy during the term, the policy may be cancelled on a short rate basis, which includes additional administrative fees1.
1 A short rate cancellation refers to a policy that has been cancelled by you during the term of the policy, and that includes a recovery of some administrative costs charged for the time your policy has been active during the current term.
How do I cancel my policy?
Before cancelling your policy, we encourage you to speak with an agent to review your situation and determine if there are any other options we can offer you.
If the policy must be cancelled, the agent will be able to process your request over the phone. Alternatively, you may also request the cancellation of your policy by sending us a request in writing by mail or fax.

Can I change my address online?
If you’re a tenant and you’re moving to a new apartment, you can change your address entirely online using our Online Client Services.
Otherwise, you can start your change of address online and an agent will contact you afterwards for more information concerning your new home.
Please note that your change of address may affect your home or auto insurance premium.

Why do I have to pay administrative fees when cancelling a policy?
There are administrative costs for the setting up and maintaining of your policy that are part of your annual premium. Rather than charging for these costs upfront when your policy is issued, we spread them over the term of the policy.
When a policy is cancelled mid-term, we have not recovered these costs in full, and the short rate cancellation is used to collect the remainder.
How much is the short rate fee?
The amount of the administrative fees depends on the number of days the policy has been active in the current term. In order to determine the amount of the fee, if applicable, please contact us and speak with an insurance agent.
