Which Auto Insurance do you use?

[newcanuck2021]

Hello Everyone, I just moved to Canada this week to the GTA. Which auto insurance do you folks use and how much do you pay monthly?
I wanted to get an idea of what people are paying to evaluate the quotes I'm getting.
Thank you!

Will partially depend on where you live, you age and what you drive. Rates can be pretty shockingespecially if you are a young male in places like Brampton.

It will be because you have no driver record in Canada. You are treated as a new driver. Plus Canadian rates are more in general.

I'm 34 year old male, moving to Canada by a month or 2.

Will it help when I bring a document from my Dutch insurance company which states that I have a clean driving record?

Canadian car insurance is expensive. Don’t know what province you are moving to but you will need to shop around for insurance. Some insurers will treat you as a new driver.

It depends on the province, I only pay $150/month...and that's on the higher end.

We have public insurance here, that's why. We even got rebates around $100 this year and expecting them next year too.

Car insurance rates in Canada, at least Toronto, are ridiculous. I am over 30 but just got my G2 last year, literally bought a slow car to commute work-home/home-work. I received quotes in the CAD-400-600/month range. Added my spouse and it dropped to CAD 350/month, as females are considered "less risky" than males.

I pay $75 a month..all included, even a rental car if mine is damaged.

I suspect not in Toronto, previous driving experience and not a single male on the policy?

Of course not..PEI, 34 years of driving, and I am the only male driving. My wife has her own car.

Just an example that not everything in Canada is expensive. If immigrants want affordability, do not go and live in Toronto or Vancouver. There are lots of other areas where you can have a great life.
