What Is Car Insurance?
Car insurance is your way of being able to cover the expenses that come up in the event that you’re driving and you injure someone or cause damage to their property. Auto insurance also can provide coverage if you get hurt and need medical attention. This type of insurance is referred to as liability insurance and is legally required if you want to drive in Ontario. There are also additional coverage options including additional coverage for damage to your vehicle caused by collision, or protection against theft or vandalism. The types of coverage options vary from insurance company and this can be overwhelming. Champlain Insurance brokers have the expertise to understand your requirements, explain your options and provide recommendations.
Why Do I Need Car Insurance?
Auto Insurance is there to protect you and those around you. If you injure someone in their vehicle, the costs of that person’s medical bills can be astronomical! In addition, if they cannot work they may not have a source of income leaving their dependents in need of financial support. The majority of the population do not have hundreds of thousands of dollars available to cover those costs. Your car insurance liability coverage can provide this.
Similarly, if you’ve caused damage to someone’s car, their repairs or replacement vehicle need to be covered. Your auto insurance can help cover these costs.
In Ontario, this is the minimum amount of required coverage you need to legally have:
- Liability Coverage
- Direct Compensation: Covers damages to your car in a no-fault accident
- Uninsured Automobile Coverage: Covers medical costs and damage if caused by an uninsured driver
- Accident Benefits Coverage: Coverage for medical and other expenses
Although car insurance is mandatory, there are several options that your insurance can recommend to protect yourself. Speak to a licensed insurance broker at Champlain Insurance who will be able to talk you through the coverage as well as shop for the best price.
Who Has to Get Auto Insurance?
In Ontario, it is mandatory to have auto insurance on your vehicle. Although there are some minimum requirements, our brokers can compare vehicle insurance on your behalf to find cheap car insurance that meets your coverage requirements.
When Do I Need to Have Car Insurance?
From the moment you’re handed the keys to the car you call your own, you should have vehicle insurance. This is regardless of the frequency of the usage, your mileage or even if you just have it stored in the garage. If you own a car, you need to insure it.
How Much Does Insurance Cost?
Everyone’s insurance premium reflects their unique situation. When we calculate your premium, we look at a lot of factors. This includes the theft and crime rates in your area, how often and how far you’ll be driving, the type of car you’ll be driving, and your driving record. Certain factors will pose a higher risk for claims such as if you are in an area with a high accident or theft rate. If there is a higher risk, this will increase your premiums. These factors can also include personal information such as how long you’ve been driving.
The seven core factors that insurance companies take into consideration when calculating your rate are:
- Your car
- How often you drive
- Any commercial usage
- Your driving records
- Where you live
- The type of coverage
- Preferential group discounts
If you’re looking for cheap car insurance, it’s important to make sure this isn’t coming with insufficient coverage. Oftentimes you can get cheap car insurance if you are willing to pay a higher deductible but you have to make sure you’d be able to cover this amount in the event of a claim. Your Champlain Insurance broker will be able to discuss these options with you.
