Living in Grimsby would be most people’s dream come true. A lakeside city that is minutes from hiking at Beamer Memorial Conservation Area is ideal. However, it could also feel rather isolated with only Queen Elizabeth Way heading in and out of town. With thirty minutes to Hamilton and an hour and a half to Toronto, that is a lot of highway driving. To be sure you are protected when driving in Grimsby, you need the best Auto Insurance possible. Plus, with gas prices the way they are, you need the best rates you can get.

As we have mentioned, Grimsby is a lakefront city. It is also located along Queen Elizabeth Way. Highway 81 is the other road that runs east to west through the area before you get to the woods of Beamer Memorial Conservations Area. Highways 12 and 14 lead south through the area and take you to these cities.

Beamsville

Driving east from Grimsby on Highway 81, you can take a slight detour before getting into town proper. On Mountainview Road, you can find several wineries to sample tastings and enjoy experiences at Angel’s Gate, Hidden Bench Estate, and Organized Crime Winery, to name a few. And if you are a fan of toys, just south of town on Highway 18, you can find Canada’s Farm Toy Museum.

Vineland

Just when you thought we were done talking about wineries, we visit a town with vine in its name. There are even more wineries on this list, but a few extras come with visiting this town. We get some beautiful waters and several BnBs. First, let us mention Twenty Mile Creek. Once you get closer to the body of water, you begin to discover many Bed and Breakfasts, including wineries like Alvento that have packages including stayovers.

Smithville

Smithville is a tiny community in the township of West Lincoln on Highway 14, south of Grimsby. They have two amazing parks to offer. One of them is the West Lincoln Arena and Community Center. It hosts many events, from a movie or music in the park to holiday events like the annual Christmas Parade. The area also has a skate park and a sports complex. The other is the West Smithfield Sports Complex. This is an area where many league games are played.

If your car is older and you do not have a loan on it, you might consider dropping the collision coverage. Just be aware that you may not have coverage for damage to your car depending on the circumstances of an accident.

Finally, shop around for auto insurance on occasion. Auto insurers are always looking for ways to lower their premiums. You might find that another insurance company offers a better rate than the one you are currently getting.
