The Wawanesa customer service number for the United States is 800-640-2920, and it serves existing car, home, condo and renters policies written for that market, which now trades under a new name after the American business was sold in 2024. A Canadian policy is a different company: Wawanesa Mutual in Canada has its own service and claims numbers on the Canadian section of the website, so check which country issued your policy before you call.

Have the policy number, the date of loss and the claim number in front of you, and note the name of the person you speak to. Ask for anything important to be confirmed by email, because a home or car claim is decided on what can be shown later.

Wawanesa Mutual sold its United States subsidiary to the insurer affiliated with the Automobile Club of Southern California, and the sale closed in March 2024. The American business has since been renamed and now trades as W Insurance, while Wawanesa Mutual continues to write home, car and property cover in Canada as a separate company.

The companies said at the time that policy terms, premiums, discounts and claims handling were not changing, and that insurance cards issued in the old name stayed valid until they expired. Even so, check the declarations page of the policy you hold now: the name on it decides which company answers a service question, which one takes a new claim and which regulator hears a complaint if the dispute goes that far. A loss that happened while the earlier policy was in force is still dealt with under that policy.

Report the loss as early as you can and get a claim number the same day, because after a widespread storm or wildfire the queue is set by the order claims come in. Give the policy number, the date, what is damaged and whether the property is safe to live in, and ask directly about cover for temporary accommodation and for emergency repairs, since that is the money you need first.

Photograph and film every room and the outside of the property before anything is cleared away, keep damaged items until they have been seen, and keep receipts for tarpaulins, boarding, drying and hotel nights. Then get your own written estimate from a local contractor rather than accepting a single figure, and compare it with the adjuster estimate line by line: the disagreement is nearly always about quantities and unit prices, not about whether the damage happened.

Read the coverage summary for the rebuild amount, the deductible and any separate wind, hail or catastrophe deductible before you agree to a settlement figure, and ask for any reduction or refusal in writing with the policy wording behind it.

A non renewal is not a cancellation: the insurer lets the current term run to its end and declines to write the next one, and the notice period is set by law where you live. The usual reasons are the risk profile of the area after storm or wildfire losses, the claims history on the property or the drivers, the age or condition of the roof, wiring or heating, an inspection finding, or the insurer withdrawing from a region altogether.

Ask in writing for the specific reason and for any report the decision relied on. In the United States you can request a copy of the consumer reports and loss history reports an insurer used about you, and you can have errors in them corrected, which matters because a claim recorded against the wrong address or a claim someone else made is a common and fixable cause. Start shopping immediately, ask your state insurance department what options exist for property that cannot get cover in the ordinary market, and keep the non renewal letter, because the next insurer will ask about it.

Policy not renewed because of where you live? Start it through our complaint process and our trained AI opens a case and keeps coaching you: what to reply, when to push again, and how to escalate if nothing happens.

Nothing has been reported about Wawanesa Insurance here yet. Our research shows what typically goes wrong at a home and car insurer of this kind: long queues for an adjuster after widespread storm or wildfire damage, settlement values that fall below local repair and rebuild costs, disagreements about which perils the policy actually includes, write off valuations on vehicles that look low against the local market, premium and deductible changes at renewal, and policies not renewed in higher risk areas.

Recognise the settlement below local rebuild costs, the write off value on the car or the policy dropped because of the region? Be the first to report it: your case opens the record for the next household in the same position, and other policyholders in your region can back it up and say how theirs was handled.
