The Best Car Insurance Options in Canada for 2023

A vehicle insurance quotation is a calculation of the premium you’ll pay for a policy. The quotation is based on the information you submit, such as your age, the vehicle you drive, your driving history, and your zip code. Every insurer calculates your personal auto insurance quotation using a separate algorithm, so even if you supply the same information to many insurers, no two estimates will be the same.

An insurance company’s next step when you apply for a coverage is to determine how much risk you represent to them – how often are you to be involved in a vehicle accident and how costly will the damage be? To measure risk, insurance firms employ a similar process. The following are the primary factors that affect your rate:

} What is your age?
} Your area for advance sorting (the first three letters of your postal code)
} How long have you had your driver’s license?
} The kind of vehicle you want to insure
} Your insurance background

Insurers will assign you to a certain rating group based on your responses (people who have similar profiles). The amount you pay for insurance is determined by your rating group. Insurance firms frequently target a certain demographic of customers. The lowest rates are usually reserved for experienced drivers over the age of 50. Some businesses, on the other hand, are ready to take on additional risk in order to provide coverage to novice drivers at reasonable prices.

Here are my top 5 picks for Canadian insurers.

1. The Co-operators

The Co-operators Group Limited was named the obvious winner among auto insurance carriers in Canada by Carsurance because it “performs admirably in the most critical sectors.” It was given a five-star rating overall, with five stars for customer service, discounts, and optional coverages, four stars for pricing, and three stars for financial strength. Customers in Alberta, Atlantic Canada, and Ontario are the most happy, with JD Power’s 2019 Canada Auto Insurance Satisfaction Study awarding the insurer five stars across the board.

2. The Personal Insurance

Personal Insurance was ranked second in Carsurance’s rankings, with a five-star overall rating. Customer service, pricing, and financial soundness scored five stars, but discounts and optional coverages received three stars. Customers in Quebec and Ontario love it, giving it five and four stars in the JD Power research, respectively. Despite great client feedback, it was not able to gain the top rank owing to its restricted availability, since it only covers its affiliated firms. The group auto insurance from Personal Insurance includes both basic and optional coverage. Third-party liability, accidents, accident compensation, and uninsured motorist coverage are all included in the regular policy. It also provides full coverage for loss or damage to the policyholder’s car in non-collision scenarios.

3. Intact Insurance

With a four-star rating, Intact Financial Corporation came in third. It also received five stars for financial stability, four stars for pricing and discounts, and three stars for customer service. However, depending on geography, it scored four stars in the Atlantic, three stars in Quebec and Ontario, and two stars in Alberta. Intact Insurance also offers a “my Drive” program that pays policyholders for driving safely and offers personalized driving recommendations. It covers Uber drivers and Turo car-sharing services in addition to the normal policies.

4. Desjardins

Desjardins Group received a four-star rating overall. Financial strength, pricing, discounts, and optional coverages all scored five stars, but customer service received three stars. In the JD Power evaluation, it scored three stars in the Quebec area for customer service. Comprehensive, third-party liability, collision and upset, accident benefits, uninsured car coverage, family protection, and direct compensation property damage are all included in Desjardins’ basic auto insurance policy (DCPD). Meanwhile, it offers five-year new vehicle protection, a trouble-free option, a $0 deductible option, responsibility for damage to non-owned autos, transportation replacement, and accident-free protection as optional car insurance coverage.

5. Belairdirect

With a four-star overall rating, Belairdirect made it to the top five. Belairdirect received five stars for financial strength, four stars for customer service, pricing, discounts, and optional coverages, and five stars for financial strength, prices, and discounts and optional coverages, according to Carsurance. It received four stars in Ontario and three stars in Quebec for its customer service department. Liability coverage (bodily injury and property damage), accident benefits, direct compensation (property damage), and uninsured motorist coverage are all included in its regular auto insurance plan. Accident forgiveness, autocomfort, collision insurance coverage, comprehensive insurance coverage and Belairdirect roadside assistance are among the available features.
