25 is no magic "instant lower my insurance" now, didn't do for me. |

I just changed my auto insurance policy to PC Financial Insurance. I saved a hell lot of money. They're new, and have awesome rates. You could get a quote from www.pcinsurance.ca |
Fokkers won't give me a quote online - so no business from me. |

and if you dont want to insure your car all year round, best bet is with co-operators, as far as i know, they are the only ones that will give you 6 months |
Doesn't State Farm offer car insurance for 6 month terms as well? |

I have mine throught State Farm and do 6 month terms.
Students: If your average is about 80% State Farm gives you 10% off.
$380 / month for me ($4500) for an SVT Focus. Turn 25 in 45 days, premium will drop 50%. |

Our family just changed car insurance to Wawanesa Insurance and saved lot.
We have two cars, 94 Pontiac Transport and 93 Honda Accord, the insurance premium is $3900 for whole family of 4.
Although we already have signed insurance coverage with Wawanesa TD Insurance gave us little cheaper quotation.
TD sends quotation very late compared to other insurance companies.
One tip to shop an auto insurance is you need to shop around a lot.
Even someone said one company is cheap it maybe lot different to you cause insurance premium change according to what car you drive and your driving record.
I know it's pain in the ass to get an auto insurance these days so for someone who needs it i list few companies which gave us good enough quotation.

I'm with The Personnal....I've got my car & condo insured through them...I work at the TTC and they get like a corporate rate BUT my brother told me to check out... http://www.kanetics.com/website/qb_...tml?employee_id I was really surprised that I got an even CHEAPER rate with RBC insurance...Kanetics.com is the BEST insurance quote website because it tells you all the other insurance company quotes (from cheapest to most expensive...depending on your situation)...My quote from RBC will acutally be $150 cheaper per year then The Personnal.
Anyway it does help to shop around and www.kanetics.com is a very helpful tool...
Good luck;)

| I pay $1600 a year as a primary driver on a '95 dodge stratus. That's good considering I'm 23 and male and it's my first car. I get a discount through my professional association though suckas! Average rate for me elsewhere was 2600. Check out johnson insurance, they ofer good rates. |

Ya, and if you have a claim, they can deny it.
The whole purpose of insurance is to step in if you have a catastrophic loss (Ie. you accidently hit some kid)... Let me assure you that if that happens, they will find out that you lied on your application and totally deny the claim due to mis-representation - and it would be totally true.
Shop around. Find the company that offers the cheapest rates for you (cuz the rates are determined partly on your age and driving recors and partly on the type of car you drive.
Different companies target different types of people. Meloche Monnex targets younger drivers, Progressive looks for people who don't have tickets, Chubb targets people who have expensive cars. If you fall into a company's target market, they tend to offer more competitive rates. If you don't, their rates are higher.
One word of advice. Shop around, but make sure you get at least one quote from a broker... They know what they are doing and you probably don't have a clue. Then use their quote to get your own "direct" quotes.
Good luck.

Thanks so much for this.
I love TA and its searches. I got a new car and now I have PC insurance for very cheap. All the bells and whistles, for less than 1500 for a 2000 Honda Civic Si.
Other companies are giving me the really high quotes and my current insurance are a bunch of idiots. |
