How to Control the Cost of Your Car Insurance
Car insurance is mandatory for all drivers in Nova Scotia, but that doesn’t mean you should be paying more than you need to. Whether you’re commuting to Halifax, running errands in a small town, or heading out on scenic drives along the Cabot Trail, there are practical ways to keep your premiums under control while staying fully protected.
1. Work with a Local Broker
Insurance rates vary between providers. As a Broker, we can help you compare options from multiple insurers. This ensures you get coverage that suits your driving habits and lifestyle without paying extra.
2. Opt for a Higher Deductibles
Increasing your deductibles for Collision and Comprehensive can reduce your monthly premium. Make sure you select an amount you could comfortably pay in case of a claim.
3. Maintain a Clean Driving Record
Safe driving matters. Avoiding tickets, at-fault accidents, or distracted driving incidents helps you qualify for better rates and claims-free discounts. Consider Accident Forgiveness insurance to protect your rate in the event of your first accident.
4. Bundle Your Policies
Many clients save by bundling their car insurance with home or tenant coverage. Ask us about potential savings when you keep multiple policies with the same provider.
5. Ask About Discounts
Insurers often provide discounts for features like winter tires, anti-theft devices, driver training courses, or low annual mileage. Your broker can help you identify all available savings.
6. Review Your Policy Regularly
Life changes, and so do your insurance needs. Whether you’ve moved to a new part of Nova Scotia, added a driver, or reduced your driving, reviewing your policy each year ensures you’re not paying for coverage you don’t need.
