Canadian financial holding company primarily engaged in property and casualty insurance and reinsurance.
I compared dozens of quotes and Fairfax Financial offered the best balance of coverage and price. The policy wording is clear about what's included and excluded, which I appreciate. Haven't had to claim yet but the reviews from others who have give me confidence. Easy to recommend.
Pros: Competitive pricing, clear policy wording, good coverage
Cons: Haven't tested claims process yet
I have my home, car, and life insurance all with Fairfax Financial. Multi-policy discounts are generous, and the online management portal makes it easy to view and update all policies. When I needed to adjust my coverage, the process was seamless. Renewal quotes have been competitive year after year.
Pros: Multi-policy discounts, easy management, competitive renewals
Cons: Phone wait times can be long
Insured with Fairfax Financial for five years across motor and home policies. Premiums have been reasonable, and the one claim I made was handled professionally. The online quote system is straightforward and the documentation is clear. Auto-renewal means I never worry about gaps in coverage.
Pros: Fair pricing, professional claims handling, clear docs
Cons: Auto-renewal price can creep up if you don't check
I never thought I'd be enthusiastic about an insurance company but Fairfax Financial exceeded all expectations. When I needed to make a claim after a burglary, the process was smooth, the assessor was fair, and the payout was processed within 10 days. Communication throughout was excellent. That's exactly what you pay insurance for.
Pros: Fast claims processing, fair assessment, great communication
Cons: Premium is slightly above average
