VERDICT

Should I use VIU by HUB?

Skip to main content - viubyhub.ca

Depends. Buy if you are a consumer who wants free online auto, home, or cyber quotes with app-based policy management backed by HUB International. Skip if you want a proven track record — public user feedback is nearly nonexistent, so confidence is low.

Confidence

Low. Based on 14 public sources; user-review evidence is very thin.

Best for

  • Consumers comparing auto and home quotes
  • App-first policy management users
  • Canadians shopping cyber insurance
  • Employers adding insurance as a benefit

Not for

  • Shoppers wanting proven reviews — one Trustpilot review exists
  • Buyers of CRM or analytics software — wrong category entirely
  • Direct-carrier loyalists who dislike broker marketplaces
  • Anyone avoiding commission-based sales channels

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Guess: free quotes imply a commission-based model; carrier premiums vary by state and record

medium

Brand relaunched in Canada May 2026; long-term service record unproven

medium

Support quality publicly unproven; phone quoting offered, but no reviews attest claims service

low

US and Canadian sites are separate; product availability differs by region
