Coverages
In Ontario, auto insurance is mandatory and all drivers are required to carry a minimum level of coverage. The mandatory coverage includes:
Third-Party Liability Coverage
This coverage is mandatory and provides protection if you injure someone or damage their property in a car accident. The minimum required limit is $200,000, but most drivers opt for higher limits.
Accident Benefits Coverage
Also mandatory, this coverage provides benefits for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and income replacement in case you or your passengers are injured in an accident, regardless of fault.
Uninsured Automobile Coverage
This coverage protects you if you're involved in an accident with an uninsured or unidentified (hit-and-run) driver. It ensures you can still receive compensation for injuries and damages.
Direct Compensation
This coverage is mandatory for damage to your vehicle and covers the cost of repairs or replacement if your car is damaged in an accident for which you are not at fault.
Optional Coverages
In addition to the mandatory coverages, drivers in Ontario have the option to purchase various additional coverages to enhance their auto insurance policy. These optional coverages can provide added protection and peace of mind.
Collision Coverage
This coverage pays for the repair or replacement of your vehicle if it's damaged in a collision, regardless of fault.
Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle against non-collision-related damage, such as theft, vandalism, fire, or falling objects.

With accident forgiveness, your insurance premium won't increase after your first at-fault accident. It helps you maintain your good driver discount.

how to save money
Top 5 Ways to Save Money on Your Insurance Premium
Shop Around for Quotes
Don't settle for the first insurance quote you receive. Get quotes from multiple insurance providers and compare them to find the best rate. Prices can vary significantly between companies.
Increase Your Deductible
By choosing a higher deductible (the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage kicks in), you can lower your premium. Just be sure you can comfortably cover the deductible if you need to make a claim.
Maintain a Clean Driving Record:
Safe driving is one of the most effective ways to keep your insurance costs down. Avoid accidents and traffic violations, as a good driving record can qualify you for discounts.
Bundle Your Policies
Consider bundling your auto insurance with other insurance policies like home or renters insurance under the same provider. Many insurers offer discounts for bundling multiple policies.
Take Advantage of Discounts
Ask your broker about available discounts with your insurance provider. These can include safe driver discounts, good student discounts (for young drivers with good grades), discounts for safety features in your vehicle, and loyalty discounts for long-term customers.
