Why do I need insurance in Mississauga?
Although insurance might not be mandatory for every Mississauga resident, it offers protection and peace of mind. After all, the purpose of any type of insurance is to help mitigate risk. Whether you are looking to protect yourself on the road, protect your home from damage, or protect your business from lawsuits, insurance is here. For example, when you purchase an auto insurance policy, you can protect yourself and your vehicle from the financial fallout of an accident (e.g. car repair bills, medical expenses associated with bodily injury, legal fees, and more). Meanwhile, a great home insurance policy can help you avoid paying for damage to your home out of pocket. If part of your house burns down in a fire or a thief steals expensive jewellery or electronics from your home, your insurance provider may step in to cover the costs if you have home insurance.
Is insurance mandatory in Mississauga?
Many Mississauga residents wonder if insurance is mandatory. The reality is that some types of insurance are mandatory while others are not. First, car insurance is provincially-regulated, and the provincial government of Ontario has made it mandatory for all Ontario drivers. Therefore, if you drive a car in Mississauga, you are legally required to purchase a valid auto insurance policy. Failure to do so can result in hefty fines and a suspension of your driver’s license. So if you are currently driving without insurance, we recommend contacting a BrokerLink insurance advisor as soon as possible. We will explain what the minimum coverage requirements are in Ontario and find you a policy that meets them so that you can legally get behind the wheel.
Although car insurance might be the only type that is government-mandated in Mississauga, that doesn’t mean that it’s the only type that is required. For example, mortgage lenders and landlords can require that homeowners and tenants purchase insurance. In the case of a mortgage lender, the borrower purchasing home insurance might be a stipulation of the mortgage loan. Similarly, in the case of a landlord, they might require all tenants to purchase tenant’s insurance as a stipulation of the lease agreement. Both parties are within their rights to do so. Therefore, in certain circumstances, home insurance or renters insurance may also be mandatory. Contact BrokerLink to learn more about mandatory insurance in your province.
Four factors impacting Mississauga insurance costs
A few factors that might impact the cost of Mississauga insurance are listed below:
- Ontario has some of the highest car insurance rates in Canada. This will have a direct impact on how much you pay for car insurance in Mississauga.
- Mississauga is known for its harsh winters, with temperatures falling into the negatives for months on end. These extreme temperatures can be tough on water pipes and indoor plumbing, especially in old homes. Your walls must be well insulated to avoid frozen pipes bursting. Get in touch with a BrokerLink insurance broker about water damage coverage so that you don’t end up paying for costly repairs if something goes wrong in your Mississauga home.
- The Greater Toronto Area (of which Mississauga is part) is one of the safest areas in the country, with a lower crime rate than many other major cities in Canada (including Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and more). That said, crime rates can change quickly and a rise in car theft or breaking and entering incidents can lead to more expensive insurance rates.
- The coverages, limits, and policy deductibles you choose will also impact how much you pay for Mississauga insurance. The types of coverage included with your policy, as well as the limits to each coverage type and the policy deductibles you select, will all affect the price of your policy.
Ultimately, the best way to find out how much Mississauga insurance will cost you is to contact BrokerLink. Though we don’t set insurance premiums (those are set by insurance companies), we can provide free insurance quotes to give you a better idea of how much an insurance policy will cost. We can also explain your coverage options and go into detail about the other factors that might impact your rates. For example, if you are looking to buy car insurance, you might find it helpful to know that factors like your claims history, age, location, gender, marital status, driving record, and the make, model, and year of the vehicle you drive can all affect how much you will pay.
Tips to save money on Mississauga insurance
Want to learn how to save money on insurance in Mississauga? BrokerLink can help. We are committed to helping Mississauga residents find dynamic insurance solutions at competitive rates. Beyond reaching out to Ontario’s top insurance companies, comparing rates, and unlocking discounts, our insurance brokers are happy to provide their expert tips on how to save money on insurance - no matter what type of insurance you are in the market for. Check out this list of money-saving tips below:
Increase your policy deductible
The first tip for saving money on Mississauga insurance is to raise your policy deductible. All insurance policies have deductibles, and the higher yours is, the lower your premium is likely to be. Insurance companies like to reward policyholders for taking on more financial responsibility, so if you can afford to increase your deductible and want to save money on your policy, this can be a great option. That said, It is important to ensure that your deductible is within your means in the event that an incident should arise. Contact BrokerLink to learn more about how deductibles work and the pros and cons of increasing yours.
Choose annual payments over monthly payments
Another way to save money on Mississauga insurance is by paying for your policy annually rather than monthly. Though insurance providers typically give customers the option of paying for their policy annually or monthly, the latter often ends up being more expensive. This is because many Mississauga insurance companies charge an administrative fee with each payment, so paying for your policy in one annual instalment is usually cheaper than paying for it in twelve monthly instalments.
Bundle multiple insurance policies
Another tip to save money on Mississauga insurance is to bundle insurance policies together. Insurance companies are likely to reward policyholders for their loyalty if they purchase more than one policy from them. So if you are looking to insure more than one vehicle in your household or buy multiple types of insurance (e.g. home insurance + car insurance or business insurance + car insurance), buying it all from the same provider could save up to 15% per policy.
Install winter tires on your car
One final money-saving tip is to install winter tires on your car (this tip pertains to car insurance, specifically). Equipping your car with snow tires during the cold months could result in a car insurance discount of up to 5%. Insurance providers like to reward policyholders who take extra steps to increase their safety, like installing winter tires on their vehicles. They understand that doing so reduces the odds of an accident, and may give you a discount if you can show proof of this. If you are interested in a winter tire auto insurance discount, speak to a BrokerLink insurance advisor today. One of our friendly brokers can inform you about the specific conditions that must be met to qualify for such a discount (e.g. some insurers might stipulate that all four winter tires must be the same model or that the tires must remain on your vehicle for a set time period).
