How does Whitby car insurance work?

Car insurance works the same no matter where you live in the province, including Whitby. All drivers are legally required to follow Ontario car insurance laws and regulations. Here’s a quick summary of how things work:

Insurance is mandatory, and you need it to drive.
A minimum of $200,000 in third-party liability is required. You cannot get a policy with less than this amount. You can get additional coverage, but this will increase your costs.
You can buy policies through a private insurance company via an insurance broker.
No-fault insurance applies. This means you work with your insurer for all car insurance claims.
Fines start at $5,000 if you get a ticket for driving without insurance

Ready out to our insurer brokers if you have additional questions about how insurance works.

What is included in mandatory car insurance in Whitby?

A mandatory minimum amount of insurance is in place to protect all drivers. Every insurer driver on the road will have at least the following coverage:

Third party liability: You have $200,000 in coverage. Most drivers increase this to at least $1 million in coverage because the cost of liability claims is increasing.
Accident benefits: This covers the costs of medical assistance if you or any passengers are injured in an accident. This includes recovery (attendant care, rehabilitation, and other associated care)
Uninsured motorist: This covers you if an uninsured driver causes an accident. You also have hit-and-run coverage.
Direct compensation property damage: DCPD covers damage when you are not at fault for an accident. As of January 1, 2024, DCPD is not mandatory. You can opt out of this coverage. However, your policy will automatically include it until you remove it.

What optional car insurance coverage in Whitby should I consider?

All drivers can customize their auto insurance. You can select add-ons to maximize protection, alter your policy, and choose budget-friendly solutions. Here are the most common optional coverage our customers choose to include:

Collision insurance: This covers vehicle damage from accidents with other vehicles and objects (trees, street signs, medians and barriers).
Comprehensive insurance: This provides protection from non-driving events. For example, theft and vandalism.
All perils insurance: This combines comprehensive and collision coverage so you have protection from all types of damage.
Specified perils insurance: You have coverage for threats that are listed in your policy. If they are not listed, they are not covered. This is a more affordable option.
Insurance endorsements: Also referred to as riders, these allow you to add specific types of coverage or alter existing coverage limits.

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 !!
