Alberta Car Insurance Rate Tracker

Find out which Alberta auto insurance companies had rate increases or decreases this quarter.

Alberta auto insurance rate changes

In Alberta, the Alberta Insurance Rate Board (AIRB) regulates auto insurance rating programs. AIRB makes rate changes publicly available and publishes them on a quarterly basis. We keep track of the approved changes from each of the last four quarters (one year) to help you keep an eye on the latest Alberta auto insurance rate trends.

Quickly and easily view each company's approved rate changes for the last year with the RATESDOTCA Alberta Auto insurance Rate Tracker.

Full or simplified filing

With a “full filing” the insurance company is required to send more detailed information, such as actuarial data to support the required rate changes. A full filing is required when there are things like rate changes and underwriting changes being implemented.

With a “simplified filing” the insurance company isn’t required to provide as much information, as long as there has been a “full filing” submitted to AIRB within the last three years and the rate increase being applied for is not over 5%.
