How Ontario Car Insurance Rates Are Calculated
Ontario car insurance rates are influenced by several key factors, including the car you drive, your driving habits, and your location. Vehicles with larger engines, higher values, or lower safety ratings often come with higher auto insurance premiums. If you drive long distances or commute daily, you may pay more than someone who only uses their vehicle for occasional trips. Your driver profile— including age, driving experience, past tickets, and accidents—also impacts your rate. The coverage options you select , such as comprehensive or collision insurance, can add to your premium, while car insurance discounts for multi‐vehicle policies, safe driving, and bundling home and auto can help reduce costs. Our experienced brokers can guide you through the process and help you find the right coverage 80pxfor your needs.

Pay Yearly
