    Standard High Risk Insurance Coverage in Ontario

    Liability Coverage

    Protects you if you’re held legally responsible for causing injury to others or damage to their property. This is a core component across high risk auto, property, and commercial policies, helping cover legal fees, settlements, and claims.

    Property Coverage

    Provides protection for physical assets such as your home, building, or business property. Coverage applies to risks like fire, theft, and certain types of damage, depending on the policy and insurer.

    Accident Benefits or Injury Coverage

    For high risk auto policies, this coverage provides compensation if you’re injured in an accident, regardless of fault. It can include medical care, rehabilitation, income replacement, and other recovery-related expenses.

    Basic Contents Coverage

    Covers personal belongings or business contents against insured risks. In high risk policies, limits and conditions may be more restricted than standard policies.

    Water Damage Coverage (Property)

    Optional protection for risks like sewer backup or overland water, which may be limited or excluded in high risk property policies.

    Business Interruption Coverage

    For high risk commercial policies, this helps replace lost income if your business operations are disrupted due to a covered claim.

    Equipment Breakdown Coverage

    Covers sudden and accidental failure of mechanical or electrical equipment, which can be especially valuable for high risk commercial operations.

    Policy Endorsements for Unique Risks

    High risk insurance is often customized with endorsements tailored to your specific situation, whether that’s a vacant property, prior claims history, or specialized business operations.

    How to Save Money on High Risk Insurance in Ontario

    High risk insurance can be more expensive, but there are still ways to reduce your premiums over time. Regal Insurance helps you take practical steps to improve your profile and lower costs where possible.

    Work Toward a Better Risk Profile

    Over time, maintaining a clean record, avoiding claims, and demonstrating stability can help you move back into standard insurance markets with lower premiums.

    Bundle Your Coverage

    Combining multiple policies, such as auto and property, can unlock discounts even within high risk insurance programs.

    Choose the Right Coverage Limits

    We’ll help you balance affordability with protection by selecting coverage limits and deductibles that suit your situation.

    Increase Your Deductible

    Opting for a higher deductible can help reduce your premium, as long as it aligns with your financial comfort level.

    Improve Risk Management

    Installing security systems, maintaining your property, or taking defensive driving courses can demonstrate reduced risk and may lead to savings.

    Review Your Policy Regularly

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is considered high risk insurance in Ontario?

    High risk insurance refers to coverage for individuals or businesses that may not qualify for standard insurance due to factors such as prior claims, traffic violations, policy cancellations, lapses in coverage, or operating in higher-risk environments. It provides access to protection when traditional insurers may decline coverage.

    Why would I be classified as a high risk driver or policyholder?

    You may be considered high risk if you have a history of at-fault accidents, speeding tickets, DUI convictions, insurance cancellations, or gaps in coverage. For property or commercial insurance, risk factors may include frequent claims, vacant properties, or high-risk business operations.

    Can I still get insurance if I’ve been declined by other companies?

    Yes. Even if you’ve been declined or non-renewed by standard insurers, specialty high risk insurance providers may still offer coverage. At Regal Insurance, we work with both standard and specialty markets to help find solutions for difficult-to-place risks.

    How much does high risk insurance cost in Ontario?

    High risk insurance typically costs more than standard coverage because insurers are taking on a greater level of risk. However, premiums vary based on your situation, claims history, coverage type, and risk factors. We shop multiple providers to find the most competitive rate available to you.

    Can high risk insurance rates go down over time?

    Yes. As your driving record, claims history, or property risk profile improves, you may become eligible for lower premiums or a transition back into standard insurance markets. Maintaining a clean record over time is one of the best ways to reduce your rates.

    What types of coverage are included in high risk insurance?

    Coverage depends on the policy type but typically includes liability protection, property coverage, and optional add-ons such as collision, comprehensive, water damage protection, or business interruption coverage. Limits and availability may vary based on risk level.

    Can I get high risk insurance for both auto and property?

    Yes. High risk insurance is available for both auto and property needs. Whether you are considered high risk as a driver, homeowner, landlord, or business owner, we can help tailor coverage across multiple policy types.

    What can I do to lower my high risk insurance premiums?

    You may be able to reduce your premiums by maintaining a clean record, increasing your deductible, bundling policies, installing safety or security features, and regularly reviewing your coverage. Over time, improving your risk profile can also help reduce costs.

    How long do high risk insurance classifications last?

    The duration depends on the reason for your classification. For example, driving convictions typically affect your record for several years, while insurance cancellations or claims history may impact your profile until sufficient time has passed without incidents.

    Do I need a special broker for high risk insurance?

    Working with an experienced broker is highly recommended. High risk insurance often requires access to specialty markets and carriers that are not available directly to consumers. A broker can help you compare options and secure appropriate coverage.
