What you need to know about getting insurance in Canada

Insurance touches many aspects of our lives, so it's important to have a good understanding of what it is and how it works. Your need for insurance is dependent on your lifestyle.

You must have car insurance if you want to drive. Home insurance protects your property and commercial insurance ensures your business has protection. While on vacation it's important to have travel insurance so you can relax, knowing you're covered. Life insurance creates financial security for your family.

We know insurance can also be confusing. There’s a lot of terminology and difficult concepts to understand. But we have you covered. Here is a basic overview of what all Canadians should know about insurance:

Insurance is an important form of financial protection for individuals and businesses. It is available in several forms, but its essence is the same. You receive protection from loss or threats you may encounter for your car, house, business, and other types of insurance, in exchange for paying a premium.

Insurance is a contract between you and your insurance provider. It's in the form of a policy. This outlines the types of protection you have and the perils you are protected against. You have coverage up to your policy limits. How much you pay and the types of threats you are have protection against will vary based on your plan details.

The Government of Canada defines insurance as:

“Insurance is a contract, called a policy, between you and an insurance provider, under which you can be compensated for certain losses. You pay a fee called a premium. In exchange, the insurance company agrees to pay you a certain amount of money if the event you are insured against happens during the term of the policy.”

Insurance can be mandatory or optional and you can customize it to serve your specific purpose. For example, auto insurance is a requirement in all provinces to drive. Home insurance is not mandatory, but if you have a mortgage, coverage will be required by the lender. Business insurance may be required based on your industry and business type. Life and travel insurance are optional but are recommended. So, your need for insurance depends on the product.
An insurance quote is an estimate of your insurance policy premium. Quotes are based on the specific information you provided during the quote process. It's important to provide precise information to get an accurate idea of how much your insurance will cost. Quotes are estimates and can differ from the final premium presented to you by an insurer.

Comparing insurance quotes provides you with the opportunity to shop for solutions from a variety of insurance providers.

The concept of insurance is actually rather simple. You make payments in exchange for protection against certain risks and threats. You pay an insurance company, who then agrees to pay you (or beneficiaries) in the event of a loss event.

The amount of money you are entitled to will depend on your insurance policy limits, coverage selection, and other details in your insurance contract.

All people are inherently exposed to a certain level of risk. Insurance can provide you with protection in many areas of your life.

If you drive, there is a risk of a car accident, theft, or damage to your vehicle. Businesses and homeowners are at risk of damage from storms; break-ins, and liability issues if someone is injured on their property.

There are many other unforeseen events, threats and risks you need to protect yourself against. Insurance provides you with protection against common threats and perils. Insurance provides you with:

  • Protection for you and your family: Insurance helps protect you and your family when driving, relaxing at home, travelling, and in many other situations.
  • Financial security: Insurance helps protect you financially if damage is caused to your property, belongings, or vehicle. Rather than fully pay out of pocket, your insurance will cover some or all the costs related to a claim.
  • Reduced risk, liability, and loss: Insurance provides you with risk management. It protects you against life’s uncertainties.
  • Peace of mind: Life can be stressful. Insurance gives you peace of mind in knowing you are covered if something unforeseen occurs. Protect the life you’ve built with strong insurance policies.
Yes. The insurance industry is regulated at the federal and provincial level. Rules and regulations vary based on where you are in the country, including minimum and mandatory insurance requirements. Each province has a regulating body that oversees insurance companies and brokers.

For example, Ontario has the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO) and Alberta has Alberta Automobile Insurance Rate Board (AIRB).

There are a number of ways you can shop for insurance and buy it in Canada. All options are not created equal. Here’s an overview of how each option works:

Use a direct insurer

Some insurers sell their products directly to consumers. But you are limited in your choices. You also will not know for sure if you are getting the best deal because you didn’t compare prices.

Use an aggregator

While aggregators offer you choices, you may be limited in the number of insurance partners they work with. Aggregators are not insurers and they don't provide coverage or insurance advice. They are lead generation sites that show estimates of premiums from brokers and insurance companies that buy the leads.

Use an insurance broker

Insurance brokers offer one-stop shopping for insurance. You can compare insurance quotes from many insurance companies, allowing you to find the cheapest rates. Brokers will then ensure you have proper coverage and help you buy your policy. You get advice on all your insurance matters and have access to customer service when you need it. Make sure you find out how many companies your broker works with. ThinkInsure has a very large selection of over 50 providers you can get insured with.

Save more by comparing insurance quotes

Insurance rates are always changing. The rates you were quoted a few years ago could be different today. They could be higher or lower.

Shopping around and exploring your insurance rate choices is just part of being a smart consumer. There is no "one-size fits all" solution out there. When you compare you are in a better position to reduce your payments. Here’s why you should assess your options with different insurance companies:

  • Coverage varies by insurer: The type of coverage, endorsements, and plans are different. Some insurers specialize in a particular type of protection while others offer more far-reaching solutions.
  • Rates are different for each company: Insurers use different formulas to determine rates. They use a range of factors and weigh things differently. This means two companies could use the same information and produce completely different prices.
  • Insurers are competing for you: Insurers operate independently. They are competing to have you as a customer. When there is competition, you can get a better rate.
  • Find more discounts: The types of discounts offered are different for each company. Some may offer you a lot of savings, while others may not.
  • Compare to make the best choice: How much you pay for insurance can change by hundreds of dollars based on the insurer. Reviewing your options allows you to see what is being offered so you can make a good decision based on your specific situation.

What are the best ways to save on insurance?

Getting affordable insurance quotes is important. Why spend more money on insurance than you need to, right? Getting cheap insurance doesn’t always happen overnight. It's important to be proactive and consistently take the right steps to lower your insurance rates over time.

Here are some tips to help you save and get a cheaper insurance quote:

icon of dollar signs on documents

Shop around and compare your options

No two insurers offer the same products, coverage and pricing. Shopping around and assessing your insurance choices can help you gain a better understanding of the options and pricing available to you before you select a policy.

Icon of tools to customize

Compare quotes upon renewal

Insurance renewal time is your chance to lower your insurance rates. Providers change their rates often so comparing quotes before your policy renews is an effective way to save.

Icon of stop watch and checkmark

Combine your policies to save more

It's common for people to have many types of insurance. When you combine multiple types of insurance with the same provider you will qualify for significant savings. Bundling policies can save you 25% or more.

Icon of man speaking

Don’t over insure

You can over-insure. Regardless of the insurance type, having too much will only result in you paying more for something you don’t require. Remember, you can always add to your coverage if you believe your current level is not enough.

Icon of man speaking

Choose the best payment option

How you pay for insurance can affect your total premium amount. Most people assume paying monthly is the only option. If you have the financial means, pay in full. This will save you on administrative and interest fees.

Icon of man speaking

Find ways to minimize potential threats

Everyone is predisposed to a certain number of threats. There are threats when you buy a home, drive your car, and operate your business. It's important to take steps to eliminate threats you can control. When you do this, you will lower your insurance rate.

Icon of man speaking

Review and update your policy annually

Things change. When they do, you should adjust your insurance to reflect these changes, or you could find yourself with coverage gaps. Assess each year when your policy comes up for renewal to ensure it reflects your requirements. You could uncover new savings opportunities.

Icon of man speaking

Take advantage of discounts

Insurance companies offer many different types of discounts. Be sure to ask your advisor about the discounts you qualify for. You could save hundreds of dollars on your insurance.

Icon of man speaking

Stay claims-free

Minimizing risks when driving and maintaining your home and property will reduce your chances of needing to make a claim. Maintaining a claims-free status helps you avoid potential insurance rate increases.

Questions and answers about insurance in Canada

Your insurance quote is an estimate of how much your coverage will cost. It is as accurate as the information you provide when you fill out the quotation form. A licenced advisor must verify the final premium.

Ideally, you want to have enough insurance to financially protect yourself in the event you file a claim. For example, you want to set your limits high enough to cover the total cost of your vehicle if it is totalled or the cost to rebuild your home if it required a complete rebuild. Our experts can help you assess your requirements to ensure you have enough protection built into your policy.

Your insurance quote does not have a specific expiry date. Depending on the insurer your quote could be good for up to 30 days. It is best to act quickly once you get an affordable estimate to lock in the price. Check with your advisor to see how long your quote is valid.

Insurance companies have a different approach to how they calculate premiums and assess your level of risk. No two policies offered are the same. Some companies may include coverages that others do not. Your limits could also vary. Therefore, you should compare the price, protection, and overall value of the plan before deciding.

No. Companies do not typically match quotes. They use a formula to set the premiums for the coverage they specifically offer. Shopping around and checking out your possibilities allows you to get the lowest prices available.

Changing insurance plans or carriers is dependent on your situation. Many people stay with the same insurer for years, while others change more frequently. While it is different for each person, you can get the answer to this question by reviewing your needs annually and spending some time shopping around for the best price, discounts, and plan.

Always think about the overall value offered in a plan and don't choose a policy based on price alone.

Absolutely! At ThinkInsure, we respect your privacy and safeguard the personal information you provide during the quotation process. It is completely safe to get an online insurance quote.

Insurance rates can go up for many of reasons. Companies could have been granted a rate increase by FSRAO. There could have been an increase in risk in your region. Your situation could have changed since you first received a quote. Something as simple as moving to a new address can have a big impact on how much you pay.
