Company profile
researched Aug 2026APOLLO Insurance (apollocover.com) is a Canadian online insurance provider that sells personal and commercial coverage directly through a digital platform. Its personal lines include tenant (renters), student tenant, condo and home insurance, while its commercial offering includes products such as professional liability insurance bundled with commercial general liability, non-owned auto liability, business contents and business interruption coverage. Quotes are generated from limited customer inputs (address, name, email, phone), purchases can be completed online in under two minutes with monthly or annual payment options, and policy documents and proof of insurance are delivered by email immediately after purchase.
The company underwrites through partner insurers that it describes as carrying A+ to A- financial strength ratings, and uses independent third-party adjusters for claims handling. Customers are automatically enrolled in a web Customer Portal where they can view policy information, modify coverage, update contact details and manage payments. The company also publishes consumer-education content under the name APOLLO Magazine, covering insurance, finance and related personal-finance topics.
Alongside its direct-to-consumer channel, APOLLO markets a program for property managers and real estate investment trusts, positioning tenant insurance integration as a way to streamline leasing, reach full tenant insurance compliance and thereby reduce property insurance costs and improve landlords' risk profiles.
Business model
APOLLO distributes insurance policies online to consumers and small businesses, with coverage placed with third-party partner insurers rather than being underwritten in-house; claims are administered via independent third-party adjusters. A secondary channel targets property managers and REITs, which partner with APOLLO to have residents insured as part of the leasing process.
Customers buy policies directly online and pay premiums either monthly or as a single annual payment; example listed premiums include tenant insurance at $14.60 per month, condo insurance at $43.08 per month, student tenant insurance at $275.70 annually and professional liability insurance at $96.22 per month.
Traction
The company states it has been trusted by more than 500,000 Canadians for tenant, home and business insurance and has delivered more than 1,000,000 quotes. Its site displays a 4.7 rating across 4,717 reviews; Traders Union reports a Trustpilot rating of 3.1 across 2,075 reviews, of which about 84% are five-star and 5% one-star.

Technology

Go-to-market
Direct online self-service quoting and purchase, supported by price-beat guarantees on tenant insurance and value/price-comparison claims, content marketing through APOLLO Magazine, and partnership distribution with property managers and REITs that embed tenant insurance in the leasing process.
Canadian renters and students, condo and homeowners, and small businesses needing commercial liability coverage; institutional partners include property managers and REITs.
Geography
Canada, with example policies issued in British Columbia (Vancouver), Ontario (Thorold) and Nova Scotia (Clementsvale); a third-party profile lists Canada as the registration country.
Risks & controversies
Customer sentiment measured across platforms diverges: the company's own site shows a 4.7 rating, while third-party aggregation of Trustpilot data reports 3.1 out of 5 across 2,075 reviews with roughly 5% one-star ratings. As a distributor relying on partner insurers and independent adjusters, service outcomes depend in part on those third parties.
