Dare to Compare

Whatever you’re driving, regardless of whether you own or lease, regardless of when your insurance renews, these 2 steps will drastically improve your drive along the highway of life.

So buckle up…here’s how to drive the car you want, and pay next to nothing for your car insurance.

Pay Less, For More

Step 1: Determine what you want to drive:

It doesn’t matter whether you want a new or used vehicle. Even if you’re in a lease, you can still get exactly the kind of vehicle you want. Step 2 will show you how.

But first, click on the link below and select the “make” then “model” of the car, new or used, that you’d love to be driving, and get the cost at Driving.ca.

Step 2: Appraise Your Trade-In:

Regardless of whether your car is leased or owned, you’ll need to know what it’s worth as a trade-in.  Below is a link that will calculate the “low” and “high” values for your current vehicle. This is the dollar range a dealer would look at.

To do this, click the link below, and then click on the “Appraise Your Trade-In” link located at the bottom right-hand side of the page. This will instantly estimate the cost of your vehicle:

Your Leased Vehicle

You’ll need to know how much you owe on your current lease. Call and ask your leasing company, “what is the payout of my current lease before taxes?"

Once you know the amount of your payout, click here and e-mail the following details about your lease:

  • Number of months left on your lease, and interest rate.
  • High to low appraisal value, type of vehicle, and year.
  • Current kms, and your phone number.

You will then find out if you can get the vehicle you’d like to be driving at the same cost, or for less than what you’re paying now.

If You Own Your Vehicle

If you own your car, you may be able to trade it in for an amount somewhere between the low and high value, and put it towards the purchase or lease of a new or used vehicle. To find out, email the make, model and year of the vehicle you want to trade-in and the vehicle you want to purchase, by clicking here.

Insurance Rate Decreases

The insurance rate market is the most competitive it’s been since 2002. InsuranceHotline.com is updating new, lower rates weekly from the 30 top Canadian insurance companies.

Here’s why you may be overpaying:

In 2003 insurance rates took a 13.7% hike. In 2004 they took a 14.5% hike. A 30% rate hike overall.

In 2005, many companies would not offer their lower rates to certain driving profiles. The “take all comers” rule had vanished.

In 2006, rates have become very competitive because the insurance companies have been making huge profits. Now it’s your turn to profit.

InsuranceHotline.com has found drivers up to 54% off what they were presently paying for their car insurance because of these rate cuts.

See what it costs to insure the car that you might want to buy. Or compare the cost of insurance for the car you’re presently driving. The rate may have dropped so much that you’ll have money to play with:
