Ontario auto-insurance guide

How to compare Ontario auto insurance quotes properly

The lowest quoted premium is not necessarily the same policy, especially after the July 2026 accident-benefit reforms.

Match liability limits

A quote with $1 million liability is not directly comparable with one using another limit.

Match accident-benefit selections

Check which newly optional 2026 benefits are included, excluded or set at different limits.

Match physical-damage coverage

Collision, comprehensive and deductibles should be consistent.

Match endorsements

OPCF 20, 27, 43, 44R and other endorsements can materially change coverage.

Compare total payment cost

Monthly payment plans may include financing or service charges that differ from an annual-pay quote.

Ontario-specific educational summary. Your actual rights and coverage come from the Insurance Act, regulations, the current Ontario Automobile Policy (OAP 1), your certificate, endorsements and the facts of the claim. Do not change coverage based only on a general web article.
