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’ve been connecting Canadians with licensed partner brokers to compare the best rates — no commitment, no fees.
From Thetford Mines to Toronto
We started in Thetford Mines, Quebec, with a simple mission: give consumers an independent, transparent and fast way to compare insurance rates from multiple Canadian insurers. For over two decades, we refined our platform serving Quebecers — car, home, motorcycle, RV, travel, and business insurance.
In 2026, we’re expanding our proven model to Ontario. Ontario residents now access our network through licensed RIBO broker partners (Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario) and regulated by the FSRA. Whether you’re in Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, London, Windsor or Brampton, our comparison takes 3 minutes and you get quotes from multiple Canadian insurers — independent, free, no commitment.
What hasn’t changed since 1997
- Independence: we’re not an insurer, we don’t sell policies. We connect.
- Free: no fees for consumers, ever.
- Multi-insurer: 20+ partner companies compared with every request.
- Transparency: comparable quotes side-by-side, your choice remains yours.
