Our Auto Insurance for Young Drivers in Ontario

No matter your driving experience, the government of Canada mandates that all motorists carry specific insurance coverages that includes; Liability for Bodily Injury, Liability for Property Damage, Direct Compensation, Uninsured Motorists and Accident Benefits.

While these are mandatory there are still many other optional coverages that drivers can choose from like; collision, comprehensive, loss of use as well as many others. As a young driver knowledge of insurance coverages are typically low and so this is where the young driver insurance broker advantage comes in. A professional broker can explain the coverages and guide you through the process of obtaining the right auto insurance coverages for you as each person has different requirements.

Student Driver Insurance

As a student finding affordable car insurance can be difficult. This is because you have less experience and your driving history is not as established as someone who is older. With such little history and experience it is difficult for insurance companies to provide a rate that truly reflects your driving habits and ability. This is why they charge a higher premium until you get more experience under your belt. Luckily for you we have access to some markets that offer discounts or tips and tricks to help your student car insurance rates.

Tips & Tricks For Student Drivers

Get Added to a Policy Right Away:

Parents listen up! As soon as your child receives their G2 you should be listening them as an operator on your policy. Depending on your company you may see an increase in your rates initially but believe us when we say you will save money for your child in the future. As soon as you list a new driver on a policy they begin building their insurance history. This means when your child goes to get their own vehicle one day their rates will be a lot cheaper. Make sure they say thank you!

Purchase Affordable, Safe Vehicles:

A big factor in determining the premium you are going to pay actually involves the vehicle you purchase. I know as a student you want to be cool and drive the fancy, expensive sports car or jacked up truck, but let us let you in on a little secret. It’s not cool! You will be paying way more in your insurance premium. Instead look for vehicles like SUV’s or 4 door sedan’s with high safety ratings. Your wallet will thank you!

Student Car Insurance Discounts

Driver Training Courses

The best way to save money when you become a brand new student is complete a certified driver training course. Not only do these courses help you become a better, more responsible driver, but they also help you save money on your car insurance. When you start out driving you have a 0 star driving record. Unless of course you complete a driver training course. If you complete the course you will be awarded a 3 start driving record. This means better rates available from the insurance companies.

Graduated Licensing Discount

Insurance companies also tend to favour individuals who complete their G1, G2 and G licensing as quickly as possible. This indicates to the insurance company that you are a responsible driver and had no issues passing your driving test. Different companies offer different discounts but it is worth it to get your full G license as quickly as possible.

Good Student Discount

Are you a good student with an above 80% average? A select few of our carriers actually provide a discount to students with good grades. It is their way of saying keep up the good work!

Best brokers ever!!! I have been using brokers for about 11 years now. Last year I met Jon Borrello and he saved me big bucks!! I was clearly over paying with my other brokers even tho they promised me the best rate possible. I have since sent over 50 friends and family members to him and the Mc Dougall brokers and everyone has switched over. Even on my friends commercial insurance they were able to offer more coverage for less. They have affiliations with all the top insurance companies and will find you the best rate guaranteed. Not only that but I switch my vehicles around a lot and Jon is always there to quote me or help me with any questions any time of the day. Even when he is home late at night he still answers any questions I have within minutes. I can honestly say I will never use another broker other then Jon @ Mc Dougall again. Best customer service I have ever had!
