    How do car insurance companies calculate my auto insurance premium?

    When it comes to determining the price you pay for your auto insurance policy, Canadian insurers use the following criteria to figure out what you should be paying as a car insurance premium:

    Your vehicle’s profile

    The year that your car manufactured, the number of kilometers you anticipate driving, vehicle class (sedan, SUV, pickup truck, etc.), and the CLEAR rating, which includes the vehicle’s safety rating, are all considered when calculating insurance premiums.

    The more miles you put on your car, the higher your premium might be. Insurance companies factor the time you spend on the road as a metric to determine the likeliness of you having an accident.

    The area you live in

    Insurance companies will take into account the area you live in as a factor to calculate your monthly car insurance cost. Local accident statistics and population density allow an insurer to determine the level of risk they’ll be taking on when they insure your vehicle.

    How you use your vehicle

    No matter if you use your car for business, as your method for commuting daily, or if you strictly drive on weekends, each of these scenarios affects how your premiums are calculated. The more you drive, the more you will pay for insurance in most cases.

    Your driving record

    Being a safe driver pays. If you have a clean driving record, the actuarial department can take it into consideration when calculating your insurance premiums. Good drivers have a history behind them that proves to an insurance provider that they can be trusted and that it will be less likely that they could be the cause of an accident.

    The opposite is also true. A driver with a bad record may be susceptible to higher premiums as the risk of them getting into an accident is higher.

    Your credit history

    In specific provinces, certain credit information can help an insurance company predict the likelihood of future insurance claims. By submitting to a credit check, someone with a good credit history could save on their car insurance premiums. Talk to an insurance agent to see if this applies for the province you live in.

    Any discounts you may be eligible for

    The better an insurance agent understands your situation, the more discounts they can apply to your insurance coverage. If you have an exceptional driving record, or drive a low number of kilometers per year, you could be eligible for a reduced insurance premium.

What can you do to reduce your auto insurance premiums?

There are a few strategies that can help you reduce your car insurance premiums:

Store your car in a safe place
Storing your vehicle in a garage or private parking lot can prevent theft, vandalism, fender benders, and damage caused by bad weather.

Ask for a higher deductible
With a higher deductible, an insurance agent may be able to reduce the price of your premium.

Keep a good driving record
Safe drivers statistically pay less in premiums because they are less likely to cause accidents.

Consider bundling your insurance coverage
Bundling coverage with a single insurance company could help bring down the price of your premium and make your life a little easier!
