Where Do I Go To Find Ratings For Car Insurance Companies In Canada?

Question by gerces | Posted in Insurance & Registration


Answer: You do realize there are about 600 of them I presume! Some are in several provinces, some in only one. You don't mention whether you are looking for ratings for reserves, claims payments, premiums, but insurance brokerages have access to large books of ratings in many different areas, most of which are incomprehensible to persons who haven't completed several university level courses in insurance.
 
 

Anyone Know Insurance Companies That Would Cover My Car While In Canada?

Question by wish | Posted in Insurance & Registration

I'm a US citizen on a temporary work permit in Ontario. I'm trying to figure out the best way to register my car. If I can find insurance that would cover me in Canada I could maintain registration in Calif. Does anyone know about this? Is there an insurance company that will cover my car while I'm registered in Calif/driving in Ontario? Thanks!

Answer: If you are legally entitled to keep your California registration, then you keep your California insurance for the time you are in Canada. You do have to notify your insurance company of your temporary re-location of course. Of course, you have not imported your car, it is a visitor as well, so you cannot sell it or trade it in while you are on temporary permit.

Do Police In Canada Report Car Accidents To Insurance Companies?

Question by TunaFishTaco | Posted in Safety

I was involved in a car accident and the other driver wanted to settle without going through the insurance companies. I didn't like the idea to begin with, but I also think there was no point. I was told by my insurance company that since there was a police report filed, the insurance companies will find out anyways. The other driver is saying that even though the police know, they won't tell the insurance companies, and these companies wouldn't know about the accident if I hadn't called them

Answer: Not directly, but the information about the accident is entered into the police data base and the insurance company will find out..

Help! Car Insurance Company (in Canada) Now Denying Coverage After Said OK To Buy Car! Car Bought! NOW WHAT??

Question by Natalieeee! | Posted in Insurance & Registration

My friend bought a car for her live-in boyfriend to drive in the winter (we're in Canada) as his Mustang was no good in the cold.

Before she bought it (second-hand), she called her Insurance company (broker) to make sure they would cover him. She gave them all the info they needed in order to make a proper assessment, INCLUDING the fact that he has three speeding tickets under his belt. The broker said that he was OK and gave her a rate, & the go-ahead to buy the car.

Answer: To begin with, I doubt the insurance company said the words "You are authorized to buy a car" because that isn't something they do. Ever.

And if you call your insurance company to ask about adding someone to your insurance, and give the information about the person you want to add, the numbers they give you are an estimate based on the information you gave, not something carved in stone. Once they investigated further they didn't want to take the risk he presented. And notified her of that in writing.

If he drives a Mustang during the warm weather, who insures that? Why not add the second car to that policy?

If he does drive the car,
