Most multivehicle discount run between 15-20%, not 5%

All companies offer multi vehicle discount. Not sure what you are referring too. Also the coverage in Austrailia, US , AB or Manitoba have little to no injury coverage which is a gigantic difference. Look at your premium breakdown and see how much you pay for Third party Liabilit and Accident...

The physical damage payments the insurance companies make is not what is causing your rates to increase its the injury costs. Also no fault is a good system as you are taken care of right away by your insurance company regardless of fault. For example in Alberta, if you get into an accident...

There definitely be some back hiccups when two companies merge or is taken over. I remember having my bank access card disable when TD and Canada Trust merge. They also changed my account from a value account to an executive account that must keep a balance of $5000 to maintain no fees(I was a...

What are you expecting the insurance company to look out for?? They have to look at the expected future costs, that is the whole premise of insurance. Insurance is no different then any other business you buy a product or service from. You think it cost Tim's $1.50 to make that coffee...

I read the entire document. Which is why I agree with the S.C.C. Somehow you have stated that I disagree with their view. I don't, I believe this is the best method that we have at this time. If something else comes along that is better then giddy up. My point was that there are lots of...
