Why compare car insurance quotes from different insurance companies?
Comparing car insurance rates from different companies is the easiest way to save on car insurance, plain and simple. Different companies offer substantially different rates for the same coverage and to the same driver. Here’s why comparing insurance quotes from different insurance companies matters:
- Car insurance companies compete: Car insurance providers are regulated under their provincial governing body, but in private markets such as in Ontario, Alberta, and the majority of Canada, car insurance companies operate independently from one another and compete just like any other business.
- Your car insurance rates depend in part on your company’s claims: A company’s ability to offer you great rates depends not just on your insurance record and driving history, but on their claims history as well. If they’ve processed a lot of claims, their average premiums will be higher.
- Your car insurance rates also depend in part on your risk group at that particular company: All insurance companies put you in a risk group based on statistical data combined with your age, marital status, driving record and insurance history. Some groups are more likely to make insurance claims than other groups. Let’s say you’re considered part of a particular risk group that happens to make a lot of claims with that particular insurance company, that means you’d face higher premiums at that company than you might at others.
- Your risk group might be less at another insurer: Just because one insurer has processed a lot of claims for your particular risk group, doesn’t mean they all have. If you find a significantly lower rate with another company, it may be in part because that company has had better luck with your risk group.
- Standard auto insurance policies are the same: The basic auto insurance coverage mandated by your province is the same at all companies, which means all insurance companies are quoting you on the same thing.
In markets such as in the United Kingdom, comparing car insurance quotes on aggregator sites such as this one is the most popular way to shop for insurance. We’re slower to adapt in North America, but more and more, savvy shoppers are recognizing the value of comparison shopping every day.

Comparing home insurance quotes has never been this fast and easy!
Whether you are renting a property or own one, join more than 1 million Canadians who have saved on their home insurance at InsuranceHotline.com. Compare quotes for the following types of insurance:
Homeowners
Homeowners insurance protects your home, family and possessions, if you’re the owner. Though not legally mandatory in Canada, if you’re planning to take out a mortgage, your lender will require you to have it.
Tenant
Also known as ‘renter’s insurance,’ tenant insurance protects you and your possessions if you’re renting someone else’s property. Most landlords require tenants to purchase their own insurance as a condition of their lease.
Condo
Condo corporations rarely provide insurance coverage to condo owners, which is why you should purchase your own. It's similar to homeowners insurance, except that it also accounts for the risks associated with condo buildings.

If you're wondering how our service works, check out the answers to some of the most common questions we've heard from our customers.
Can I compare quotes online for every type of insurance?
Yes. No matter what type of insurance you’re looking for—whether it’s auto, home, travel or life insurance—you can, and should, compare quotes online. It’s the easiest way to find the best coverage for the best price possible.
Will my insurance quotes be accurate?
Yes! The quotes you get are the same quotes you would get if you called each of our insurance partners directly. There is no catch, and you’ll save oodles of time in the process. The insurance quotes are all personalised and unique to you, based on the details you provide. But remember, the quotes are only as accurate as the details you provide, so if any information changes once you’re chatting with the insurance company, your rate may change too.
Will my insurance quotes expire?
The insurance quotations you get today don’t have a set expiry date per se, but that doesn’t mean they won’t change in the days or weeks ahead. If you’ve found a great price on a package that suits your needs, it’s best that you act on it as soon as possible.
How are my insurance quotes calculated?
The insurance quotes you get are no accident. They are all personalised and unique to you, based on the details you provide. The insurance quotes you get are calculated by taking four main factors into consideration:
- Your personal details
- Amount of coverage you’re seeking to get
- The deductibles (if any) that you choose
- The insurance company that you end up selecting
These four factors are common to virtually all insurance products; the insurance quotes work in a similar manner whether you’re looking for auto insurance, home insurance or travel insurance.
Why does one insurer offer me a better rate than another?
Each insurance company has its own way of estimating the amounts it will pay out in claims. These amounts determine your insurance premium. The industry-wide rule is that more claims mean higher rates. So, if one company has had more claims than the other, then their rate will be higher.
Why are my insurance quotes so different?
Insurance quotes can vary considerably from company to company and there’s a whole host of reasons why quotes are different between insurers. Peel it back however, and part of the reason quotes vary typically comes down to three financial factors unique to each insurer:
1. Their claims experience with the group of people they cover
2. The likelihood you’ll submit a claim
3. The competition they face
Together, these factors make it so that each insurer is unique in the price they offer for the product they’re selling, and shopping around for your insurance is the only way to ensure you’re not overpaying for the coverage you need.
How many insurance quotes do I get to compare online simultaneously?
