    Mandatory Auto Insurance Coverage in Ontario

    Third-Party Liability Coverage

    Covers bodily injury or property damage you cause to others in a collision. The legal minimum in Ontario is $200,000, but this limit is rarely adequate. Most drivers increase coverage to $1 million or $2 million to protect against lawsuits, especially in high-cost injury claims. This is the core of civil liability protection in your auto policy.

    Statutory Accident Benefits

    Provides a package of no-fault benefits—medical and rehabilitation expenses, caregiver and non-earner benefits, income replacement, and funeral costs—if you’re injured in a collision. These apply whether you’re at fault or not and supplement the gaps in government health care. Optional upgrades to the standard SABS benefits are available for those seeking extended limits.

    Direct Compensation Property Damage

    Pays to repair your vehicle when another party is at fault for the accident and the incident occurs in Ontario. With DCPD, you deal directly with your own insurer instead of pursuing compensation from the other driver’s provider. This ensures faster claims processing and less red tape.

    Uninsured Automobile Coverage

    Protects you and your family if you’re hit by a driver with no valid insurance or involved in a hit-and-run. This part of the policy also provides compensation in the event of death or serious injury, even if the at-fault driver can’t be identified. It’s critical protection in a worst-case scenario.

    Optional Car Insurance Coverage in Ontario

    Collision 
Coverage

    Pays for repairs or replacement if you crash into another car, a pole, or any stationary object—even if you’re at fault. This coverage is often required by lenders when leasing or financing a vehicle. Deductibles usually range from $500 to $1,000, and choosing a higher deductible can reduce your premiums.

    Comprehensive Coverage

    Covers non-collision events that cause physical damage to your vehicle—like fire, theft, vandalism, weather events (hail, windstorms, flooding), or falling objects (like tree branches or ice). It’s essential if your vehicle has high market value or you park on the street.

    Loss of Use (Rental Vehicle Coverage)

    Covers the cost of a rental car or alternative transportation while your vehicle is being repaired after a covered claim. Without it, you’d be on the hook for transit or rental costs during downtime. Coverage kicks in immediately after a claim is filed and is typically capped by dollar value or duration.

    Waiver of Depreciation

    Ensures that if your new vehicle (typically less than 24–30 months old) is written off in a claim, you receive the full original purchase price, not the depreciated market value. This is especially valuable for vehicles that lose value quickly and helps you avoid an out-of-pocket gap when replacing a written-off car.

    Ways to Save on Car Insurance in Ontario

    Raising your deductible, bundling policies, driving safely, or switching to usage-based insurance—these are just a few simple ways Ontario drivers can lower their premiums. A Regal broker can help you choose the right mix for real savings without sacrificing coverage.

    Bundle Home & Auto

    Combine your home and auto insurance to maximize your savings.

    Increase Your Deductible

    Raising your deductible lowers your premium, but be sure it’s an amount you’re comfortable covering in a claim.

    Use a Broker

    Brokers shop the market for you, saving time and often hundreds in premiums.

    Join a Usage-Based Program

    If you’re a safe driver, telematics programs can reward you with major discounts.

    Review Your Policy Annually

    Life changes fast, so make sure your insurance keeps up.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What kind of car insurance coverage is required by law in Ontario?

    In Ontario, all drivers are required to carry third-party liability coverage. This coverage protects you if you cause injury to others or damage their property in an accident. It’s part of the mandatory insurance requirements for all drivers.

    How does my driving history affect my car insurance rates in Ontario?

    Your driving history is a crucial factor in determining your insurance rates. Traffic violations, at-fault accidents, and claims can lead to higher premiums. Convictions remain on your driving record for three years, impacting your rates during that time.

    What factors affect my car insurance rates in Ontario?

    Several factors influence your car insurance rates, including:

    • The make and model of your vehicle
    • Your driving history
    • How long you’ve been insured
    • Your location and postal code
    • The type of coverage you choose

    Each of these factors plays a role in the final premium you pay.

    What should I do if I am involved in a car accident in Ontario?

    If you happen to be involved in a car accident in Ontario, remain at the scene and check for injuries. Ensuring the health and safety of those involved should always be your first priority. If anyone looks to be suffering from an injury, call 9-1-1 immediately.

    Make sure to exchange driver’s licence and insurance information with the other driver(s) and gather evidence, including pictures and witness contact information, that may be useful to your auto insurance provider. In situations where there have been injuries, and/or the damages look to exceed $2000, you are legally required to call the police.

    Contact your insurance company and provide them with the details of the accident.

    Can I customize my car insurance policy to fit my specific needs?

    At Regal Insurance, we offer flexible options to tailor your car insurance policy to your exact needs and budget. From adjusting your deductible to adding optional coverage like collision or comprehensive, we make sure you get the right protection.

    What is a high-risk driver, and do I need special insurance in Ontario?

    High-risk drivers typically have a history of accidents, traffic violations, or other risk factors. If you fall into this category, you may need high-risk auto insurance. Our brokers can help you find the right policy and explain the options available for high-risk drivers in Ontario.

    What does a deductible mean in car insurance?

    A deductible is the amount you agree to pay out-of-pocket when you make a claim. For example, if you have a $500 deductible, you’ll pay the first $500 of the repair costs, and your insurance will cover the rest. Choosing the right deductible helps balance premium cost and coverage.

    Does my car insurance cover rental vehicles?

    Many auto insurance policies offer coverage for rental cars, but it’s essential to confirm with your broker. Some policies may not cover rentals, or they may offer limited coverage. It’s always best to check with your insurer before renting a car.

    How do I know if I need additional coverage like collision or comprehensive?

    Collision insurance covers repairs to your vehicle if you’re at fault in an accident. Comprehensive insurance covers damages caused by non-collision incidents like theft, vandalism, or weather events. These types of coverage are often recommended for newer or higher-value cars.

    How often should I review my car insurance policy?

    It’s a good idea to review your car insurance policy annually or when significant life changes occur, like moving or purchasing a new vehicle. Regular reviews ensure your coverage still meets your needs and that you’re not overpaying for unnecessary coverage.
