1. Business insurance

Finding the right insurance coverage for small and large businesses can seem impossible. After all, no two businesses are the same, which is why a one-size-fits-all commercial policy simply won’t do. BrokerLink knows this, which is why we specialize in tailor-made business insurance coverage. When you work with a Dryden insurance broker, they will take the time to find a policy that suits the specific and unique risks your business faces. From standard coverage like commercial property insurance and commercial general liability insurance to additional comprehensive coverage that pertains to your industry (e.g. pollution liability, professional liability, or cyber liability coverage), we promise to work alongside you so that we can find you a plan with the best possible coverage.

How much does Dryden commercial insurance cost?

Dryden commercial insurance costs vary widely between companies. Business owners should prepare for insurance providers in Ontario to use the following information when calculating the cost of their commercial insurance policies:

• Where your business is located
• Whether your business is small, medium, or large
• The number of people employed by your business
• The annual and projected revenue of your business
• Your years of experience in the industry that your business operates within
• Your insurance claims history
• The deductibles, coverage, and limits you select for your commercial insurance plan

2. Property insurance

The reality is that living in Dryden isn’t without risk. When you own a major asset like a home, it is important to protect yourself financially. House insurance can help you do that. There are homeowner’s insurance policies to suit all kinds of Dryden homeowners. For example, you can find a policy that protects your property and its contents from perils like hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes, water damage, fire, theft, power outages, vandalism, and more. You can even find a policy that features extra coverage to safeguard against appliance failures (equipment breakdown coverage), sewer backups (sewer backup coverage), or flooding (overland water coverage). BrokerLink Dryden can also provide home insurance solutions to local renters.

How much does Dryden home insurance cost?

The cost of home insurance varies in Dryden. To help you better understand how insurance premiums are calculated, we have put together a list of factors that insurers consider when calculating rates:

• Your claims history
• The precise location of your property (e.g. the city, neighbourhood, and exact address where it is located)
• How much your property is worth
• How many square feet your property is
• The number of people who live on your property
• How old your property’s roof is
• The age and condition of the electrical system in your property
• The age and condition of the plumbing system in your property
• The age and condition of the heating system in your property
• Your deductibles

Given all the other costs that come with driving (e.g. gas, maintenance, etc.), our goal is to help you keep car insurance costs down.

How much does Dryden car insurance cost?

Dryden car insurance typically costs between $1,200 and $2,000. The reason for this wide range is that insurance companies take into account a multitude of factors when calculating car insurance premiums. Such factors may include:

• Where you live (and anywhere else you frequently drive)
• Your age
• Your driving record
• Your driving experience
• Your insurance claims history
• How many kilometres you drive each year
• The make, model, and year of the car you drive

Do I need to buy insurance in Dryden?

In some cases, yes, but in others, no. The rules and regulations surrounding insurance vary depending on the type of insurance being discussed. For example, car insurance in Dryden is mandatory for all drivers, but home insurance may only be mandatory for some tenants and homeowners. We dive further into the topic of Dryden insurance requirements below:

Do I need Homeowner's Insurance?

Let’s kick things off with homeowner’s insurance. Home insurance in Dryden is required situationally, which means sometimes it’s mandatory and sometimes it isn’t. When is it mandatory, you might be wondering? Generally speaking, buyers who purchase their homes with a mortgage are required by their mortgage lender or bank to have a valid home insurance plan. In this vein, those who lease their Dryden homes (e.g. renters) may also be required to purchase a form of home insurance known as tenant insurance in accordance with their lease agreements. Please note that even if no one is requiring you to purchase home insurance, purchase coverage, even basic coverage is still recommended due to the benefits it offers.

Do I need Car Insurance?

Moving on to car insurance. Explaining the Dryden requirements surrounding car insurance is a little easier because it is mandated by the government. In other words, the provincial government of Ontario legally requires all drivers to purchase auto insurance plans. This is the law, no matter where in Ontario you live, your age, your gender, or the type of car you drive. Choosing to drive without insurance is therefore illegal and can have grave consequences, like a fine of up to $50,000, or the temporary suspension of your driver's licence. Don’t run the risk of getting caught without car insurance. Instead, call BrokerLink Dryden for help finding quality car insurance coverage.

Do I need Business Insurance?

Finally, like home insurance, business insurance may also be required situationally. Your profession or the industry you work in might determine whether or not you need commercial insurance, as well as what type. Further, your clientele can also determine this, as some clients may require you to have business insurance if you want to work with them. Ultimately, although commercial insurance may not be a legal requirement in Dryden like car insurance, you will be hard-pressed to find a business that does not have at least basic coverage.

The Insurance brokers at BrokerLink have first-hand knowledge about a wide range of insurance products. This makes them an invaluable resource if you’re looking to avoid overspending on an insurance plan. A broker can inform you about any discounts you may be eligible for and research a variety of insurance products within your budget. For more information on how to find competitive insurance rates in Dryden, keep reading:

1. Reach out to a Dryden insurance broker for help

Step one to finding a great insurance rate? Contact BrokerLink Dryden. An insurance broker will use their years of experience to find you the best possible coverage within your budget (they can also find you great insurance bundles). If cheap rates are what you're after, enlist the help of an insurance broker today.

2. Regularly review insurance coverage

Many policyholders in Dryden and beyond purchase their policies, never look at them again, and allow them to renew year after year. While doing so certainly sounds convenient, this often isn’t in your best interests. Why? Insurance needs change with time. For example, vehicles depreciate in value with age, which means the insurance coverage you purchased when you bought your brand new car may not be necessary five or ten years down the road. To ensure you are never paying for coverage you no longer need, review your policy every time it is up for renewal. Think carefully about whether you need the same coverages, limits, and deductibles. If you can remove certain coverages, lower your limits, or increase your deductibles, you might be able to save money. If you are having trouble determining whether your insurance coverage is still working for you or not, contact BrokerLink Dryden. One of our dedicated brokers would be pleased to review your policy on your behalf and offer suggestions on the best way to proceed.

3. Equip your vehicle, property, or workspace with anti-theft and security devices

Safety pays. The more ways that you can increase the safety of your home, car, or workplace, and decrease the odds of an incident such as theft, the better your insurance rate is likely to be. For example, some insurance companies in Canada offer discounts to Dryden homeowners or business owners who install security or alarm systems in their homes and places of business, respectively. Similarly, installing an anti-theft device in your car or buying a car with lots of safety features may also bring down your premium. Get in touch with BrokerLink Dryden to learn more about the various safety discounts that may be available to you.

4. Pay down your mortgage as quickly as possible

Buying a home without a mortgage or paying down an existing mortgage could mean cheaper home insurance. Mortgage-free customers are viewed as being more financially responsible, and as such, an insurer may be more likely to offer you a cheaper property insurance rate.

5. Select a higher deductible

If you are willing to buy a policy with a higher deductible, your insurance company may lower your premium as a result. Why? A customer who selects a higher deductible is willing to take on more financial responsibility in the event of a claim. In exchange for this, an insurance provider is likely to lower your rates.

6. Pay for your policy in one installment

Just because an insurer gives you the option of paying for your policy monthly doesn’t mean you should take it. Although this might seem like the more enticing option, the reality is that some insurers charge extra money every time you make a payment. This additional charge sometimes appears as a transaction or administrative fee on your bill. Therefore, if you opt to pay for your Dryden insurance plan on a monthly basis, you may end up paying more by the end of the year than if you had paid for it annually, in one lump sum payment. If you have a strong preference for monthly payments, be sure to check with your insurance provider about any hidden fees that may apply.
