Get quotes online or over the phone: Policies can be purchased through a private insurance company via an insurance broker.
No-fault insurance applies: You deal with your insurer for all claims.

Here’s a breakdown of the mandatory car insurance coverage. All of the following is included in all policies at a minimum:

Third-party liability: All policies include $200,000 in coverage. However, most drivers carry at least $1 million.
Accident benefits: You get medical assistance and care, including attendant care and rehabilitation, if you or any passengers are injured in an accident.
Uninsured motorist: You have protection if an uninsured driver hits your vehicle or injures you. You also have hit-and-run coverage.
Direct compensation property damage: DCPD covers accident damage when you are not at-fault. It was mandatory until January 1, 2024. However, it’s still included in your plan unless you opt out.

Optional car insurance in Cornwall

i used thinkinsure to navigate a complicated car insurance situation after my prior broker could not find me the insurance i required. Denise Snyder Phillips was my agent and she was extremely helpful, efficient and responsive. Highly recommend thinkinsure for your insurance needs and ask for Denise!

I was shopping around for some new auto insurance rates as my current policy was ending soon and was looking for cheaper premiums. I called ThinkInsure, and Todd helped me with the process start to finish. Communication with him after my initial phone call was flawless through email, often replying right away during business hours. He was easy to ask questions and provided multiple quotes to me when I needed to make some changes. I ended up getting better coverage for a much lower premium compared to my current provider with ThinkInsure. Thanks Todd for the seamless experience and helping me get setup!

I had been in the market for new insurance for a while, not getting many great quotes and then I come to find Todd Allen through ThinkInsure and have only great things to say about my experience. Knowledgeable, honest, responsive and made insuring my vehicle a breeze. Within 4 emails back and forth, signing e documents and a final email to confirm I was set up and ready to go. Could not recommend his services enough! Thanks Todd !!

Cornwall car insurance FAQs

Why are Cornwall car insurance prices higher than the provincial average?

You would think that rates in Cornwall would be cheaper than the provincial average because the city is smaller. However, as a border town with a large crossing to the United States, significant traffic passes through the area daily. The volume of trucks and drivers unfamiliar with the area increases driving risks. This is reflected in car insurance premiums for local drivers.

Is my Cornwall car insurance policy valid in the United States?

Your car insurance policy is valid if you drive in the United States. However, before you cross the border, speak with your insurer to get clarification about if anything changes about your coverage when in another country.

How do I get cheaper car insurance in Cornwall?

Even with rising auto insurance prices, you can do many things to lower your costs. Here are some ideas for ways to pay less:

Compare quotes annually at renewal time
Have a pristine driving record - stay accident and claims-free
Sign up for usage based insurance
Keep your car safe by adding extra security features
Bundle home and auto insurance and save on both!
