Our Business Operations
With the significant and growing concern in Canada surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we wish to provide you with an update on how Axxium Insurance is handling this situation as it relates to our customers, employees and the communities we service.
We are fully operational. Our business is equipped and designed to service you in situations such as this. Axxium Insurance has invested in systems so that we are able to continue to service you by phone, email, online and through digital policy management.
In an effort to help slow the spread of the virus, we’ve suspended walk-in and in-person appointments. Please call 1-514-664-5080 or email info@axxiumassurance.com for your service request.
For your Personal Home and Auto insurance, we encourage you to download our Client Access Centre mobile app (available on the App Store and Google Play). You can also access the Client Access Centre on your desktop computer to download your policy documents and request changes to your policies.
We are communicating with our employees on a regular basis, promoting social distancing and cancelling business travel. Our employees are equipped to work from home for as long as required.
FAQ's
I’ve been impacted by COVID-19. How can my Axxium broker help?
Axxium is working with our insurance providers to help our customers navigate what options are available and while there is no single solution that applies to every customer we are helping our customers find the savings that are available on a case by case basis.
In our experience insurance companies are working with existing customers whose needs have changed or are experiencing financial hardship.
My vehicle coverage needs have changed
- I’m not driving at all
If you are no longer using your vehicle during this time, and there is no loan or lease on your vehicle, we can request the removal of your coverage which would generate a credit on your premium. It’s important to note that credits will vary based on your current coverage and how far into your insurance policy term you are.
You will also need to advise us when your commuting needs go back to normal so we can re-instate your coverage to reflect your updated commute.
We do recommend maintaining comprehensive coverage to protect your parked vehicle from vandalism, fire or theft.
Once
- I still drive a little but am not commuting to school or work
We can apply for a reduction based on your current usage, the credits will vary based on your current coverage and how far into your insurance policy term you are. You will also need to advise us when your commuting needs go back to normal.
My income has been impacted by COVID-19, can you help?
Customers who are experiencing financial difficulty and are unable to pay their insurance premiums should reach out by phone 1-514-664-5080 or email info@axxiumassurance.com and we can help you find options through a coverage review and payment options.
Insurance companies are also:
- Temporarily waiving non-sufficient funds fee (NSF) for customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Stopping the issuance of notices of cancellation for non-payment for our personal property and personal auto insurance customers. They will not be re-issuing policy documents that have already been issued.
Will renewals continue to be issued?
I am working from home for an extended period due to COVID-19, is it considered business use? Do I need to update my insurance broker?
What is the best way for me to make a payment during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Giving Back
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, our local food banks are experiencing a significant increase in usage, matched by a decline in food donations due to social distancing. As a corporate partner of Feed Nova Scotia and local food banks across the country we want to help.
In addition to a $5 donation for each personal policy review requested, Axxium has committed to corporate donations to local food banks in the communities we serve across Canada and will match all donations to Canadian food banks through our Give Back fundraising campaign, up to $40,000.
Axxium CEO, Jamie Reid, has also committed to personally matching an additional donation of $40,000 in support of this initiative.
