Your great driving record should work for you

Newmarket Era

Whether you’ve been on the road for years or you’ve recently passed your road test, a clean record should work in your favour when shopping for auto insurance. Many insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who’ve never been in an accident and it’s important to be aware of the deductions you may be  eligible for before you look for insurance.

In addition to discounts, a bit of background knowledge can go a long way when shopping for a policy. First things first, insuring your vehicle will mean selecting one of three main categories of coverage. In Canada, all vehicles must have liability insurance to protect the driver should they cause injury or property damage to a third party while driving.

Most drivers will have to choose between collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage insures a vehicle against damage in an accident. It’s a good option if the value of your vehicle is not great, and if replacing it on your own in the event of theft is an option. As the name suggests, comprehensive plans go beyond coverage in an accident, also insuring vehicles from theft and vandalism.

Auto insurance policies vary quite a bit from one insurance company to the next, so make sure to look out for particular features that may be important to you, like emergency roadside assistance in an accident or backup transportation while your vehicle is being repaired.
