How does living in Sudbury affect my rates?

Insurers take a number of factors into consideration when determining your auto insurance rate, one of which is where you live. In general, rural areas tend to be cheaper than urban areas due to the lower density of the population, less cars on the road, and a decreased likelihood of a claim. Since Sudbury and the surrounding area contains a little bit of both, your neighbourhood can have an impact on your rates.

Insurance rates also differ depending on your personal driving record, which includes tickets, collisions, years licensed and insured, and licence suspensions, for example. 

While getting quotes at InsuranceHotline.com:

  • Almost 70.5 per cent of Sudbury drivers indicated they have a clean driving history with no tickets, accidents or licence suspensions;
  • 14 per cent of drivers admit to having at least one traffic ticket;
  • 9.2 per cent admit to having been involved in at least one collision, and

What else goes into determining the cost of my auto insurance policy?

Car insurance rates are always changing and if you don’t regularly compare car insurance quotes there’s a good chance you’re overpaying for the coverage you need.

In addition to where you live, your driving record and driving history, there are several other factors that go into determining your auto insurance rate including:

  • The type of car you drive. Like individual drivers, each vehicle is rated differently too. Insurers factor in things like how susceptible your vehicle is to theft, it’s safety ratings, security measures and so on. 
  • How often and how far you drive. The more time you spend on the road the more likely it will affect your insurance rate.
  • The deductibles you choose. Deductibles are the portion you pay in the event of a claim. The higher your deductibles, the lower your rate.
  • The coverages you choose. In addition to the required minimums, you can opt to increase your coverage, or choose to have optional coverages included in your policy which will factor into your rate. Some of these optional coverages, for example, include collision and comprehensive coverage.
