What Our Customers Have to Say

Lisa MacRobbie has been my Ostic Group Insurance broker for many years. She is courteous and very professional. She responds to my inquiries promptly and explains the different options I have regarding my home and automotive insurance. One year, she even reminded me to adjust the insurance for my summer car that I had already put away for the winter. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Lisa as an insurance broker.

Been a customer for almost 35 years now (Guess that alone ages me!!)Never a problem with any of the staff really. The odd thing is missed or is incorrect. However, they are quick to fix anything you need.My regular agent went off on maternity if my memory serves me correctly, and lately, I have been working with James. He has gone above and beyond and is relatively quick at resolving inconsistencies.We would and have recommended Ostic to others.Take care everyone at Ostic!R. LOWE

Our family has been dealing with OSTIC insurance for nearly 35 years. When we had the misfortune of experiencing a car accident a number of years ago, our agent Lisa, was exceptionally courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and prompt in dealing with our many questions and eventual car replacement. If Lisa doesn’t have a “quick answer” to any of our questions, she is very thorough in her investigation, and usually responds within 24 hours! Hats off to Lisa, and the other wonderful staff, at OSTIC insurance in Guelph.

I recently purchased my first car and needed insurance. My friend referred me to The Ostic Group and I am so happy they did. Jessica Dewey was so helpful and went out of her way to get insurance for me, even offering to stay late on a Friday to get the paperwork filled out! Being a first time car owner, I didn't know where to start or what was the best plan for me. Jessica was very informative and made me feel very comfortable throughout the application process. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Property and Home Insurance

Why do I need home insurance?

If you own or rent a property, it is incredibly important to have home insurance or personal property insurance. Home insurance is designed to cover you from liability exposures associated with property ownership or rental. This may include a wide range of risks, including personal injury, natural disasters, crime, and much more.

Without home insurance, you will not be covered for possessions lost in a fire or burglary. If someone is injured on your property, you may be responsible for paying the medical bills. These scenarios are just a few examples of why you need personal property insurance.

For more information, contact our insurance team today.

What is typically covered by home insurance?

Home insurance can provide coverage against a wide range of risks, depending on the type of insurance and the coverage selected with your policy.Homeowner’s insurance will typically provide coverage for your primary property, its contents, and premises, as well as providing liability protection for you and members of your immediate family.

If your primary property is a condominium, then we recommend condominium insurance, which will offer similar coverage for condo owners. Similarly, if you live in a rural area, then we have a product specifically designed for country home insurance, which may differ in significant ways from traditional home insurance.

Landlord insurance or rented dwelling insurance will offer coverage for a residential rental property, which is typically a secondary or even tertiary property. It can be bundled with your main home insurance policy, or have its own individual policy.

Cottage insurance or seasonal dwelling insurance is typically used to cover a seasonal property like a cottage or a winter cabin. This type of policy will vary greatly depending on the type of property that is being covered.

Tenants’ insurance or renters’ insurance will typically provide basic coverage for personal belongings in a rental property, as well as liability protection for the tenants or renters.

The value of your property
The type of property that you own
The value of your possessions
