Frequently Asked Questions
Because each person's situation is unique, there isn't a single answer to this question. Insurance companies calculate your car insurance premium taking into account a variety of factors:
- Type and amount of coverage you want,
- Make, model, and year of your vehicle
- Your driving record—including claims and traffic ticket convictions
- Where you live, and
- Vehicle use (business, commuting, or pleasure driving)
The following coverages are mandatory in Ontario:
- Liability coverage
- Accident Benefits coverage
- Uninsured Motorist or Uninsured Automobile coverage
- Direct Compensation for Property Damage coverage
You can also add other coverages for even more protection. Your policy becomes effective after you select your coverages and pay your first premium.
Vehicles that are less expensive to repair will typically cost less to insure.
