Well, that depends on a few things. We look at several key factors when calculating your auto insurance premium (and so do other insurance companies):
- Your car make, model, and year are taken into consideration when quoting you a price. The kind of car you have determines its value, safety features, and how much it would cost to repair damages.
- How you drive your car in addition to the number of kilometers you drive every year, including daily commute and business use.
- Your driving record, which includes things like the number of years you’ve all been licensed for, speeding tickets, and accidents.
- The area in which you live affects premiums – whether it’s Toronto, Mississauga, or Bolton.
- The coverage and add-ons you choose might cost more but can provide you with additional benefits that could save you money in the event of an accident.
- We offer ways to save with preferred rates for professionals and alumni being one of the ways. Check out the section below for more information on how to save on your insurance.

Here are a few simple tips to save on car insurance in Ontario:
- Insure all your cars with us so you can make the most of our multi-vehicle discount.
- Insure both your car and home with us so that you qualify for a multi-line discount.
- Increase your deductible – insurance is really meant to cover you for damages you could never afford on your own. If you can afford a $1,000 repair job, then raise your deductible to $1,000 and pay less for your insurance.
- Think about removing collision coverage if you drive an older car. This means weighing the cost of collision coverage with the value of your car and chosen deductibles.
- Maintain a great driving record – the safer you drive, the more you could save. By downloading and using the TD MyAdvantage app, which collects and analyzes your driving data, you could save up to an additional 25% on your premium!
- Consider driving a “low-risk” vehicle. Insurance premiums are based on previous claim history, so the more likely the vehicle is to be stolen or in an accident, the more you’ll pay for insurance.
- If you’re a new driver, take a driver’s training course.
- Have an approved, factory-installed anti-theft device installed in your car. We will automatically take this into account when deciding your premium. You would have to opt to have this installed after you get your car, though.
