A survey of insurance brokerage customers, including Scoop Insurance and NFP, an Aon company, was conducted by Pollara Strategic Insights, Canada’s premier research project leader. The Best Home and Auto Insurance survey considers many factors to determine which insurer performs the best in each category. This includes:
The Best Home and Auto Insurance Awards survey was completed between August 18, 2023, and September 18, 2023, using an online survey methodology.
A total sample size of 8,875 auto insurance customers in Ontario and Alberta – the two largest markets for private auto insurance in anglophone Canada – responded to the survey.
Margin of Error calculations were adjusted to reflect the total number of customer records available based on the population size. As part of the survey, it was observed that 860 respondents of the total sample size of 8,875 customers filed for an auto insurance claim in the past year. The survey does not report results of claims experience for insurers with a margin of error of ±11% or higher.
The actual distribution of responses closely matched NFP and Scoop’s customer distribution by age, gender and province. As such, Pollara Strategic Insights did not apply any weighting to overall results. Results specific to NFP and Scoop customers, which are not included in this report, are weighted by market, to represent the actual distribution of each market within the brokerage.
Some percentages reported may not add up to 100% due to round figures.
A total sample size of 8,875 auto insurance customers in Ontario and Alberta participated in the Best Home and Auto Insurance survey. Pollara Strategic Insights found 44% of the respondents identified as female, 55% identified as male, and 1% as other.
