Auto Insurance in Canada
In Canada, the law requires all licensed drivers to have auto insurance. But the rates consumers are charged depend on a wide variety of variables, all of which are assessed independently by every insurance company.
Auto insurance companies look at your driving profile, which includes things like the make and model of car you drive, your age, your gender, where you live, the number of tickets and accidents on your record, etc.; and use that information to assess the risk of you making a claim in the future which then determines your rates.
There are also differences across Canada in terms of how the auto insurance industry is administered and regulated depending on the province. In British Columbia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan, auto insurance is administered by the government. In Ontario, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and all other provinces except Quebec, auto insurance is administered by the private sector and a large number of private insurers. Finally, Quebec has a hybrid model: The government insures against injuries to people, and private insurers cover you for property damage.
Why Have Auto Insurance?
As with all types of insurance, auto insurance exists to protect consumers against future losses. By pooling the risks of individual consumers and charging each a small premium, insurance companies ensure that there are adequate funds available to pay the claims made by a subset of those risks. The types of things typically covered under a standard auto insurance policy in Canada include:
• Third-Party Liability. This coverage protects you in the event of an accident causing loss or damage to another person when you are at fault.
• Accident Benefits. This coverage offers benefits to protect you if you are injured in an accident regardless of who caused the accident.
• Uninsured Automobile Coverage. This coverage protects you in the event of death or injury caused by an uninsured motorist or by a hit-and-run.
• Loss or Damage Coverage. This would include: All Perils, Collision, Comprehensive and Specified Perils. You can purchase a combination of these to protect you against loss of or damage to your automobile caused by collision, fire, theft, and a variety of other unpredictable risks.
