Understanding car insurance rates in Canada

Buckle up — car insurance premiums are on the rise, and 2025 is no exception. Rates have jumped by 13.2% across Canada in the past year, according to Applied Systems, with many drivers feeling the pinch. 

What’s causing the spike? It’s a mix of factors: modern vehicles with more technology in them that are expensive to repair, more frequent and costly claims due to increasing traffic around the country, inflation, rising theft (especially high-end SUVs), and extreme weather. It’s a perfect storm that’s driving premiums higher. 

Back in 1990, insurers covered $6 billion in vehicle damage annually. By 2022, that number had soared to $16 billion — a clear sign of growing costs in the industry. 

Location also plays a big role, too; the average premiums in 2025 ranged from $1,112 in Quebec to $2,443 in Alberta, with Saskatchewan and Ontario falling in between. Where you live can make a big difference in what you pay. 

If your premium feels too high, don’t worry — you have options. A trusted insurance advisor like Surex can help you compare policies, find savings, and get the coverage you need. 

Car insurance in Canada – FAQs

There are three types of car insurance available in Canada. They are:

Collision car insurance:

If you collide with another vehicle or stationary object, you’ll receive financial compensation to cover the cost of the vehicle repair.

Comprehensive car insurance:

You never know what’s waiting around the next turn or bend in the road. Comprehensive car insurance provides peace of mind for those moments. Comprehensive car insurance cover incidents such as:

  • Hitting an animal
  • Fire or smoke damage
  • Theft and vandalism
  • Flood damage

Liability:

Liability car insurance is required, by law, for all drivers in Canada. Liability insurance protects others from damages you cause while driving a vehicle. This covers a variety of losses including property damage, bodily injury and death. The price is based on your personal driving habits, so all of the vehicles you drive will have the same liability insurance rate. This is the cheapest auto insurance available in Canada, which means it has the lowest coverage.

An insurance premium is an amount one pays per month (or agreed upon term) for an auto insurance policy on their vehicle in Canada. An insurance deductible is the amount of money the insured party is required to pay - out of pocket - before their insurance company will step in and cover damages.

The amount on your policy can vary. A higher deductible usually means a lower premium (per month cost for your car insurance policy). It is essential to make sure you can reasonably afford your auto insurance deductible. In the case of an accident, if you cannot pay your deductible, your insurance company will not be able to help with your overall costs.
