Our Reviews
I have nothing but exceptional service from Ashley Bushfield at Surex, quickly responds and takes cares of anything I need for my insurance needs… prices are amazing too… thanks for everything you do!! Highly recommended!!
Mostly great help but I feel when your contract wasn’t renewed for car insurance contacting your customers by email should have at least should got a phone call to their customers when the email wasn’t acknowledged by customer for whatever reasons… but something as important as having no insurance should have required a phone call by the company and the broker should have an alternative option for it’s customers
I had a great experience with Ashley at Surex. She was able to get me insured the same day and sent over my policy right away. The process was quick, and smooth. I’m very happy with the quality of her work and the service, I’d definitely recommend Ashley and Surex to anyone in Ontario looking for reliable insurance.
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Veronique Abbott, with Surex!!!I have spoke to her on the phone and through email!! She is always a pleasure to speak with, so prompt at getting back to me and answering any questions I have!! I had a few advisor with Surex and Veronique is a 11 out of 10! I would definitely recommend Veronique to anyone!!
Boat Insurance in Alberta
A popular and fun summertime activity is boating, even though in most provinces you only use your boat for a few months out of the year, it is still important to have it insured all year round.
Boating is a popular recreational activity in Alberta, as well as a mode of transportation for some! From canoeing to jet boating you can find a wide range of boating preferences here. Although Alberta is a landlocked province, there are still many lakes and rivers to enjoy. There are 600 freshwater lakes and 245 rivers, and many of them are boat-friendly. Alberta has many beautiful clean, iconic lakes for people to enjoy, from glacier-fed Lake Minnewanka, located in the Rockies of Banff National Park, to wake surfing on Lake Newell or canoeing on the picturesque Lake Louise (power boating is not permitted on this lake), Alberta has something for everyone!
No two boats are alike so make sure you speak with one of our Advisors to get the best advice. We'll provide you up to 10+ quotes from Canada's top boat insurance providers, getting you the coverage you need, for the best price possible.
Boat Insurance in Alberta
Boat insurance covers you in the event of a loss or damage to your watercraft. It covers most watercraft with motors, including fishing boats, paddle boats, leisure crafts, even yachts (for you high rollers!). For smaller boats, you may find some limited coverage under your homeowner's policy, so it's best to chat with your Surex Advisor about what you're covered for and what you need to add to your policy when you buy a boat.
Yes, you do need a boating licence in Alberta to legally drive any type of motorized boat in the province. It is also referred to as a pleasure craft operator card or PCOC. The Canadian PCOC is required across the country for all ages, types of motorized boats, and engine sizes. You can also check this post on how to register a boat in Alberta.
The amount of boat insurance you will need depends on a number of factors such as the value of the boat, the motor size, the age and how you use it (speed boat vs a pleasure cruiser). For example, if you bought a new high-performance speed boat, you will need more coverage for bodily injury and property damage liability than you would if you had a pleasure cruiser.
Surex insurance tips & advice
Before hitting Canada’s trails, ensure your ATV is maintained and properly insured to protect against accidents, theft, or damage during the riding season.
Riding a motorcycle is thrilling, but in Ontario, insurance is required. Learn the basics—especially if you need high-risk motorcycle coverage due to your driving history.
Electric bikes are a fun, eco-friendly way to get around Alberta, but riders must follow specific provincial laws—just like with any motor vehicle.
