Meet Johnson Insurance
Boasting over 100 years of experience, this St. John’s-based company provides auto, home, and travel insurance to most of Canada, with the exception of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and the territories.
Johnson Insurance products are now entirely web-based. That means policyholders can purchase insurance and manage their policy through Johnson’s members-only website without ever going through an agent or broker. And customers like it this way: in 2017, Johnson was rated the second best auto insurer in Alberta, according to J.D. Power.
Johnson offers customers a good array of coverage options and perks. These include discounts for policyholders who renew with Johnson and extra rewards through its corporate partnership with Air Miles.
The company offers a variety of discounts, all of which reward safe driving: drivers with clean driving records will pay lower rates, as will drivers who have more years of driving experience under their belt.

The Johnson advantage
Johnson customers can also earn one Air Miles reward mile for every $20 paid on their premium— including taxes. Last but not least, the company offers a range of discounts on rates, including:
- Bundling auto and home insurance policies together
- Insuring multiple vehicles with Johnson
- Discounts for safe and experienced drivers
- Discounts for groups, including associations, employers, and academic institutions
First accident forgiveness - If your driving record is otherwise stellar, the company won’t increase your premium rate after your first accident.
Members-only website - Manage your policy at your own convenience using Johnson’s website for policyholders.
Yes, there is. The Johnson Insurance app is available for Android and iOS devices. You can view your policy documents, claims history, as well as any correspondences you’ve had with the company.
