If you want to be sure that you are paying the cheapest rates possible for car insurance, it’s important to consider the various factors that can affect the rate you get.

4 factors that affect car insurance rates in Ontario

Your driving record: It’s pretty common knowledge that how you drive affects what you pay for insurance. If you’ve been in an accident (or several), whether you’ve received tickets and of course any driving convictions. High risk drivers will pay higher rates.

Where you live: Those that live in Toronto will pay different rates from those that live in Timmins. The more population in the area you live in, the more cars there are on the road and the greater chance that you could be involved in an accident. Likelihood of car theft also plays a role here.

Your car: The type of car you drive makes a difference. Insurance companies will consider how expensive it is to repair your vehicle as well as how enticing your car is to potential car thieves.

How long you’ve been driving: If you’re a young driver, you’re considered a higher risk and will pay more to insure your car. You can learn more about getting the best rates as a young driver here.
