    How to Save Money on Commercial Auto Insurance in Ontario

    Keeping premiums affordable while maintaining strong protection is possible. At Regal Insurance, we help Ontario businesses reduce their costs with proven strategies:

    Bundle Policies

    Combine commercial auto with property, liability, or other business policies to unlock multi-policy savings.

    Maintain a Clean Driving Record

    Claims history and traffic violations directly impact premiums. Safer drivers = lower costs.

    Install Telematics & GPS Tracking

    Monitor driver habits and vehicle usage. Insurers often reward safe driving behavior with discounts.

    Choose the Right Deductible

    Higher deductibles typically mean lower premiums. We’ll help you find the right balance between monthly cost and financial risk.

    Reassess as Your Business Evolves

    Your operations, assets, and risk profile change over time. Reviewing your policy annually ensures you’re not overpaying for outdated or excessive coverage.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does commercial auto insurance cover?

    Commercial auto insurance protects your business vehicles, drivers, and cargo against a wide range of risks. This includes coverage for:

    • Liability: Pays for bodily injury and property damage your vehicles cause to others in an accident
    • Accident Benefits: Covers medical care, rehabilitation, and lost wages for injured drivers or passengers
    • Collision Coverage: Pays for repairs or replacement if your vehicle is damaged in a collision
    • Comprehensive Coverage: Protects against theft, vandalism, fire, or weather-related damage
    • Cargo Coverage: Provides protection for goods and equipment your vehicles transport.

    Standard commercial auto policies don’t always include add-ons like non-owned auto coverage or loss of use unless specifically added. Normal wear and tear or intentional damage are excluded.

    Is commercial auto insurance required by law in Ontario?

    Yes. Ontario law requires all vehicles on the road — including those used for business — to carry auto insurance. For commercial use, however, the minimum coverage required by law may not be enough to protect your business adequately. In addition, many contracts, leases, or client agreements mandate proof of sufficient commercial auto insurance before work can begin. Beyond legal compliance, carrying this insurance is critical to shield your business from the high costs of accidents or claims.

    Who needs commercial auto insurance?

    Any business that owns, leases, or operates vehicles for work purposes should consider commercial auto insurance. This includes:

    • Contractors and Trades: Vans, pickup trucks, and trailers carrying tools and supplies
    • Delivery Services: Cars, vans, or trucks transporting packages or goods
    • Real Estate and Sales Professionals: Vehicles used for client visits and business travel
    • Service Providers: Plumbers, electricians, cleaners, and others relying on business vehicles.

    Even if you use your personal car for business purposes, personal auto insurance may not cover work-related claims. Commercial coverage provides the proper protection.”

    How much does commercial auto insurance cost in Ontario?

    Premiums vary based on vehicle type, number of vehicles, how they’re used, driver history, and coverage limits. A small business insuring one or two vans may pay a few hundred dollars annually, while companies operating fleets can expect significantly higher costs.

    What factors affect my commercial auto insurance premium?

    Several key factors influence the cost of your commercial auto insurance:

    • Vehicle Type and Usage: Larger vehicles or those driven long distances for deliveries typically cost more to insure
    • Number of Drivers and Their Records: More drivers or poor driving histories lead to higher premiums
    • Location: Operating in areas with higher accident or theft rates can increase costs
    • Coverage Limits and Deductibles: Higher coverage limits raise premiums, while higher deductibles may lower them
    • Claims History: A record of frequent claims signals higher risk and raises premiums
    • Risk Management Practices: Using GPS, telematics, or dashcams to monitor driver behavior may reduce costs.
    Can I reduce the cost of my commercial auto insurance?

    Yes. Several strategies can help lower your premiums:

    • Increase Your Deductible: Raising your deductible lowers your premium, provided the amount is still manageable
    • Maintain a Clean Driving Record: Fewer accidents and violations result in more affordable coverage
    • Bundle Policies: Combining auto coverage with property or liability insurance often yields discounts
    • Install Telematics and Security Features: Monitoring driving habits and installing theft-prevention systems can reduce risk and premiums
    • Regularly Review Your Policy: Adjust coverage to reflect current vehicles, drivers, and business needs

    Working with a broker ensures your policy is optimized for cost savings while maintaining essential coverage.

    What’s the difference between commercial auto insurance and personal auto insurance?

    Commercial auto insurance is designed specifically for vehicles used in business operations. It covers higher liability risks, multiple drivers, cargo, and specialized equipment that personal policies usually exclude.

    Personal auto insurance only applies to private use, like commuting or family trips. If you use your personal car for work purposes — such as deliveries, transporting clients, or carrying tools — personal coverage may deny claims. In these cases, commercial auto insurance is essential to ensure your vehicle and business are properly protected.

    Can I combine commercial auto insurance with other business coverage?

    Yes. Many insurers allow businesses to bundle commercial auto with other coverages such as:

    • Commercial Property Insurance: Protects your building, equipment, and inventory
    • General Liability Insurance: Covers legal costs if your business causes third-party injury or property damage
    • Business Interruption Insurance: Replaces lost income and operating expenses if your operations are disrupted by a covered event

    Bundling these policies under a single insurer often simplifies management and provides premium savings.

    Does Regal Insurance work with small businesses?

    Absolutely. Regal Insurance Brokers has been serving Ontario businesses since 1984, offering tailored solutions for contractors, freelancers, startups, and growing companies alike. Whether you operate a single service van, a rideshare vehicle, or a full delivery fleet, our brokers understand the unique challenges small businesses face.

Our brokers provide ongoing policy management, including annual reviews, adjustments as you add or retire vehicles, and guidance through the claims process.

    Yes. Regal Insurance Brokers is fully licensed in Ontario. All of our brokers are regulated under the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario (RIBO) program and maintain ongoing education to provide expert, compliant service.
