If you have an umbrella policy the next time you go to a fancy cocktail party, walk up to the first person you meet and say: “Reginald and I balked at the idea of course, but really, who doesn’t have an umbrella policy these days?” And then throw your head back, laugh and walk away. If you don’t have one, you know what to do.

What Our Customers Are Saying

AirBear Cj

Best brokers ever!!! I have been using brokers for about 11 years now. Last year I met Jon Borrello and he saved me big bucks!! I was clearly over paying with my other brokers even tho they promised me the best rate possible. I have since sent over 50 friends and family members to him and the Mc Dougall brokers and everyone has switched over. Even on my friends commercial insurance they were able to offer more coverage for less. They have affiliations with all the top insurance companies and will find you the best rate guaranteed. Not only that but I switch my vehicles around a lot and Jon is always there to quote me or help me with any questions any time of the day. Even when he is home late at night he still answers any questions I have within minutes. I can honestly say I will never use another broker other then Jon @ Mc Dougall again. Best customer service I have ever had!

Deb Johns

We recently had a minor flood in the crawlspace under our home. While, in the final analysis, it was minor, at the time when we had the full municipal water line seemingly pouring into the space, we were feeling that, at any time, the house would start to float. In the middle of the chaos, on a Saturday afternoon, I decided to just contact Mike Cunha from your Oshawa office just to give him a heads up for Monday morning. To my amazement, he replied within minutes and stayed in touch throughout the weekend and into this week, providing advice, guidance, support and assistance with a cleanup crew. I cannot imagine anybody providing better customer service than this. We sure didn't want the flood but when things go wrong, it sure was inspiring to have someone on the other end to help us to the extent that Mike. Great service that was very much appreciated. I'm passing his name to any friends and family that are ready to switch insurance. Thanks again.

Mike Cunha has been my "insurance guy" for the past couple of years and has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. Mike has quoted me on auto insurance, our home, and on our trailer insurance.

Mary Vanderpas

We had a very positive experience when we met with Dean Coulter. Once all the preliminary reviews were completed Dean went through a very detailed analysis of our insurable items and went to work to find the best rates that would meet our requirements. After presenting the breakdown we were amazed that would be saving hundreds of dollars against our prior company who we had been with for over 25 years. We asked our son to get his insurance evaluated and again saved literally hundreds of dollars a year in costs. There is no question that Dean and the McDougall Insurance group spend the time and resources to get their clients the best rates. We recommended that you take the time to call and have your insurance evaluated by Dean and his team. You will not be disappointed.

Cynthia Top

The great people at McDougall insurance are the best in the business!! Tammy is awesome!!

I have had great experiences with Brister/McDougall. My insurance rate goes down every year. I am contacted and told of other options available to me. My boyfriend just changed to Brister/Mcdougall and it cut his monthly payment in half. Couldn't be happier.

My experience with McDougall Insurance & Financial has been nothing but A+ service! The first time I called McDougall I was searching for auto insurance rates as my current policy elsewhere was soon ending & Mike Cunha was helping me with options for my renewal. Six months later when my policy was up Mike called me to let me know he had found me a great policy, not only did he go out of his way to remember me six months later but he also found me the best rate going! I was more then impressed & signed right away, since then have also referred all my family & friends.

I was referred to Preston Perry at McDougall Insurance about 3 years ago for home & auto insurance when I moved to the area. He was extremely professional & knowledgeable about his business. I have since moved all of my insurance business (home, auto, health, life & commercial) to McDougall insurance, and am extremely pleased with the service, rates & communication received from the company. I would highly recommend this insurance brokerage, and continue to send referrals to Preston regularly.

PROFESSIONAL AND TIMELY SERVICE NEEDED INSURANCE ON A NEW SEADOO LATE ONE FRIDAY SO I COULD TAKE IT OUT ON THE WEEKEND - WAS DONE IN LESS THAN AN HOUR AND I WAS OUT ON THE WATER!!! THANKS MCDOUGALL

Wayne Lazary

I have had my auto and home insurance with Darlene Hughes of McDougall Ins. for about 12 yrs. and have been completely satisfied . Darlene has done an exceptional job for me in every way and is always there to answer any question I may have. I would highly recommend McDougall Ins. to anyone.

Danny Tavares

Becky Sottana

We have had nothing but positive experiences with McDougall! The level of service provided, the attention to detail, the efficiency in returning phone calls and emails lends themselves to being an superb company. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

John Lennox

My spouse and I utilized McDougall/ Brister Insurance when our previous insurance company gave us an insane quote for our home purchase. We contacted Shannon Leblanc since they were local, and began the process. Shannon was able to secure us Home Insurance for $1000 less per year than what our previous insurer wanted. We completed everything online through email eliminating the need to drive to their office or play telephone tag. This was really convenient for us as I work nights. I also got my motorcycle insurance through Shannon based on my pleasant experience with my home policy. Many insurance companies and brokers will only treat you like a policy number, where Shannon will treat you how a customer should be treated - with respect and courtesy. I highly recommend this brokerage for anyone in Ontario. From motorcycle insurance to home policies, no other company can compete with the quality of service you will receive from them.

Jason Lloyd

I have been a long time customer of the McDougall Insurance Pembroke office. I received quotes from another broker a few years ago, but I decided to stay loyal to McDougall Insurance in Pembroke. The service and professionalism was better, the price was better and every year they discuss my insurance options with me. I insurance my business and my personal interests with McDougall in Pembroke, and I have zero worries. This is the best insurance office in Pembroke/Petawawa, hands down.

Jason Lafave

I recently made the switch from my long time insurance company for home and auto. Blake was very helpful and made the extra effort to get me a great deal and the insurance I need. Working with the team at DLK Brockville, I'm more than happy with the insurance coverage and rates I now have. The process has been easy and dealing with them locally makes it extremely convenient. Overall, the product and service have been spectacular. Would recommend anybody shopping for insurance to contact DLK in Brockville.

Darren McCaskie

I was with my prior currier from 10 years before switching to McDougall Insurance. They have great customer service and very competitive rates. They would be happy to give you a quote.

Val Huckstep

My experience with McDougall Insurance has been amazing right from the start! I got in contact with Jon Borello a few months ago, and have been overly pleased with his service! As this is my first time on insurance, Jon has made the experience super easy for me, and completely stress free! I've been more than pleased with the prices he's worked out for me and the over all service he provides. I couldn't be happier with the decision I made to go with McDougall, and I don't ever plan on changing companies!!

Riley Sexsmith

I was referred here by a friend and was delighted with the service. My broker Blake Trickey was fantastic, not only getting me the best rate around, but he made the experience super easy and hassle free. I would (and do very often) recommend McDougall to anyone tired of overpaying for the auto insurance.

Kathy Grier

Glenn Haarbosch in the Brockville office has been our insurance broker for over 20 years. He insures our business and our farm. When we need him, he is always a call away. Exceptional service!

I had been insured by my previous broker for over 30 years and was very surprised to find that McDougall Insurance was able to provide me with better coverage at a lower premium! The staff is very knowledgable and make recommendations to better improve my coverages as required. Thank you for the great service!

When I was buying my new car I called Blake @ McDougall DLK Insurance in Brockville- he was very professional and gave me many options to choose from , he had time to answer all my questions and explained everything to me thoroughly so I would understand what I needed and didn’t need.I highly recommend McDougall DLK Insurance to anyone who is looking for insurance.

We brought our commercial to McDougall Insurance 8 years ago. Kristen Fletcher has been our broker since day one. The service we have received from her has been second to none. The folks at McDougall have been extremely responsive and as we have grown Kristen has kept up with the changes and growth in our business. We also brought over all of our personal policies and have received the same level of service. I give them an A+

Ashleigh Jones

I have been a client of McDougall Insurance for just over a year now. At the beginning of the summer I was in an accident that wrote my car off. I called my broker Mike Cunha right away and he was just leaving for the day but told me to call back as soon as things were settled. When I called back Mike had left all my info with his colleagues and they were waiting for me! They helped me talk to the right people and get everything done quickly and efficiently! I have never had such great service!! 🙂 A big thank you to everyone at McDougall and especially Mike for all the help! I would definitely recommend McDougall to all my friends and family!

Dean was very professional and knowledgeable. He was able to quickly find me alternative insurance at a significant savings. He was very responsive and answered all my questions and made the transition over to the new plan seamless. I would highly recommend working with McDougal Insurance and in particular with Dean. We are about to purchase a new vehicle so I will be chatting with him again soon!

Cassandra Musclow

I have been with this company for 20 years of varying insurance needs from home, auto to atv, landlords insurance and contents for storage. Darren McCaskie has always helped, gone above and beyond expectations, he even reached out to me when I had neglected to update my license when renewing my plates which the licence office didn't even mention to me. He certainly saved me from what could have been an expensive fine if caught driving 🙂Michelle Dausett was invaluable in my decision making process when I seeking quick quotes for cars as I was shopping for a new vehicle.I love the multifaceted communications approach, the ease of seeking information and the ability to get quick responses from all avenues which include calls, emails, messaging and texting.McDougall Insurance - Bancroft has streamlined the process and have hired incredible staff which makes arranging insurance a much easier administrative process than with any other provider I use corporately.I can tell you that every single encounter with this business has proven to be a successful, worthwhile endeavor and I would highly recommend them for all of your insurance needs.When in doubt, it is always worth a comparison to your current provider.

Mike Martino

I dealt with Blake Trickey in the Brockville Office - I called dozens of brokerages in Ontario looking for Right hand drive insurance for my vehicle I imported from Japan, with no luck or high rates were my only results - I then found Blake's name online and contacted him, within hours he had quotes back to me and within 2 days I had policy ready to go for my right hand drive vehicle and my other daily use vehicles as well! I strongly recommend Blake and the whole team at McDougall DLK Insurance.

Our Insurance for our home and vehicles was expiring with another company who we had been with for eight years. We decided maybe it was time to get a different quote for our insurance.We contact Dean Coulter at McDougall Insurance in Bancroft. Dean gathered all our information and was able to give us a quote for our insurance which was 1200.00 cheaper for the year with the same coverage that we previously had for our vehicles with the other insurance company.Dean was professional, quick and efficient in dealing with us. We are very happy that we switched to McDougall Insurance and the service we received from Dean. Wish we would have done it sooner.

Switching to McDougall insurance, courtesy of Lance Holoway, has been very rewarding. Since the time we've moved our house, rental property, and cars to McDougall we've saved a substantial amount of money. Lance recruited us several years ago and we couldn't be happier to have him represent us. He is constantly looking for the best coverage options that not only saves us a significant amount of money, but more importantly gives us piece of mind that our important investments are taken care of in case of need. Thank you to Lance and the McDougall team for taking care of my family.

Colin Gillis

Excellent brokerage to deal with! Friendly people and lots of options!

Ashley S

Before working with McDougall/Bickerton I had been with my previous broker for years - a half decade or more I think - and I didn't feel like I was getting the best deal anymore. I contacted Jon Borrello and right away I knew I'd found someone I could trust not only to find me a great deal, but to go to bat for me. Jon ended up saving me hundreds, and my coverage is excellent. I'm so happy with the service I have received that I happily refer my friends to him whenever they ask if I "know a guy in insurance". Yeah, I know a guy. And he's awesome!

Karen Heuer

I have been a customer for over 20 years. The service has been excellent and I have been very well taken care of!
