Why do we need car insurance in Ontario?

Car owners in Ontario are required by law to have car insurance. This is in part because Ontario operates on a no-fault insurance system, which means drivers go through their own insurance company no matter who is at fault in an accident or incident. Beyond this, car insurance is important in the unfortunate event that you are ever involved in an accident. It helps to ensure that you, your vehicle, and your passengers are protected.

From a legal perspective, if you’re pulled over by law enforcement you’ll be asked to show your license, registration, and proof of insurance. Your proof of insurance is your “pink slip,” which is provided to you when you purchase or renew your auto insurance. It contains the name of your insurance provider, your policy number, and the names and addresses of the insured parties.

If you fail to provide your pink slip, not only can you face hefty fines, but your auto insurance rates may also go up! Be sure to keep your pink slip in your vehicle at all times, as mandated by the Auto Insurance Consumers’ Bill of Rights. This will also be helpful in the event you need to provide another driver with your insurance details.

What is the average car insurance rate in Ontario?

Ontario drivers pay an average of $1,445 per year for car insurance, according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada. While the province no longer holds the title of most expensive car insurance in the country (that crown now goes to British Columbia), Ontario drivers still face rates higher than the majority of Canadians.

This is why provincial regulators recommend comparing Ontario auto insurance rates before you purchase a policy. It’s the best way to ensure you’re getting the cheapest rate available.
