Auto Insurance Tips for people moving

to C anada

If you are planning to own a car in C anada, you must purchase car insurance. It is illegal to drive without insurance. Follow these easy steps and get the coverage you need and avoid unpleasant surprises by asking your insurance representative some key questions before you buy your auto insurance in C anada.

The first thing you should do is to get a letter of experience from you former auto insurance company from where you used to live. Some of the C anadian auto insurance companies could consider you previous insurance experience when they determine your rates and your premium. The more auto insurance experience you have the lower your rates will be, but they are not obligated to recognize any foreign auto insurance experience.

The difference here is the United States. Since driving conditions across the border are similar to Canada, auto insurance companies will often acknowledge that you have a clean American driving record.

The second thing is that you have to have a valid C anadian driver’s licence, as most auto insurance companies would not provide coverage for people with international licences.

The third thing is that you have to shop around for the best auto insurance rates. If your are moving to B ritish C olumbia, S askatchewan or M anitoba where insurance is provided by government agencies, you have a long list of insurance companies to choose from. As each auto insurance company sets its own rates you have to shop around to find the lowest and most suitable premium for you and your family.

The fourth thing to understand is how to arrange for the payment of your insurance coverage. Some of the auto insurance companies will let you set up your auto insurance and then make the payment over the telephone. While others want you to send in the signed documents and they may even want you to make a deposit on your coverage. The best thing is to allow some weeks before your auto insurance starts so that you will have time to complete all the paperwork.

The fifth thing is to always keep your auto insurance document with you. Your auto insurance company will send you your auto insurance papers in the mail and in the package there will be a wallet-sized card. This card is pink and is your proof of insurance. Keep this on you at all times. If you are stopped by the police and you do not have your pink card with you, you may receive a ticket and that fine could affect your auto insurance rates in the future.
