What The Dominion can offer

The Dominion auto insurance is available for both personal and recreational vehicles, which include:

  • Private passenger insurance
  • Classic car insurance for cars between 15 and 30 years old in good condition
  • Antique car insurance for cars older than 25 years old and used for display purposes
  • Motorhome insurance not being uses as permanent residences
  • Recreational insurance covering four-wheel, all-terrain vehicles, snowmobiles and personal use campers or utility vehicles

Drivers can also receive special discounts when using The Dominion car insurance. Those include driver training courses, having a clear driving record over (no convictions during the past three years and no at-fault accidents in the past six years).

If you live in Ontario and you are retired, The Dominion auto insurance will provide special discounts. Finally, children of The Dominion clients have limited access to the insured vehicles while attending a post-secondary institution.

Other special offers available to drivers in Ontario are through Chieftain Insurance. Chieftain is a special insurance product originally from Dominion (which The Dominion acquired in 2013). It’s designed for drivers whose car insurance needs are considered straight forward.

Other advantages available to drivers through The Dominion car insurance include having continuous coverage that never expires unless cancelled. No renewal needed. Just set it and forget it.

Premiums are reviewed every month so you can look for ways to save more than just once a year and finally drivers using The Dominion auto insurance can pay monthly premiums online with credit or by phone.

The Dominion rate changes

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario, as a regulator, makes sure insurance companies’ proposed rates are fair and not excessive.

Insurers need approval from the FRSA to change the rates they use to calculate premiums for their customers.

Approved rate changes and effective renewal dates can be found on the company’s website, here.

In the current market, FRSA says that several factors are driving up costs, including inflation and people driving more. Any decreases observed in the effective renewal approvals are mostly below two percent and even lower than one percent.
