29 years comparing insurance, now in Ontario.
AccesDirect was founded in 1997 by Antonino Vella and Alain Bellemare, then acquired by Jean Boissonneault in 2000. Since then, we connect Canadians to licensed partner brokerages to compare the best rates — no obligation, no cost.
From Thetford Mines to Toronto
We started in Thetford Mines, Quebec, with a simple mission: offer consumers an independent, transparent, fast way to compare insurance rates from multiple Canadian carriers. Over two decades, we refined our platform serving Quebecers — auto, home, motorcycle, RV, travel, business.
In 2026, we’re expanding our proven model to Ontario. Ontario residents now access our network via RIBO-licensed partner brokerages (Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario) regulated by FSRA. Whether you’re in Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Windsor or Brampton, our comparison takes 3 minutes and delivers quotes from multiple Canadian carriers — independent, free, no obligation.
What hasn’t changed since 1997
- Independence: we’re not an insurer, we don’t sell policies. We connect.
- Free service: no cost to consumers, ever.
- Multi-carrier: 20+ partner carriers compared per request.
- Transparency: side-by-side comparable quotes, your choice remains yours.
