Do car insurance companies typically match quotes from other companies? What's your experience on that?Quote:

I guess you have to take them at their word. I know some are wary of insurance companies having access to too much of your info but it would be legally treacherous for them to go against what they've stated.Quote:

Auto insurance rates are non-negotiable. Auto insurance rates must be filed with the Financial Services Commission of Ontario and adhered to like scripture.Quote:

I'm also gonna try a broker to see if I can get a better rate somewhere. But if belair can give me a better quote with/without automerit, I might switch. Is there a disadvantage of switching insurance companies only after 2 years? Won't they be like "what's wrong with this dude...keeps switching companies"?
I don't think they care about switching as long as you haven't been denied insurance or had your policy cancelled/revokedQuote:

Got my renewal coming up and I'm going from 333 a month to 302 a month. Not bad but still sucks lol. 24 now in Brampton.
Might be worth mentioning that raising your liability from $1M to $2M is not a lot of money. It was something like $50/year extra for me. Just in case of any unforeseen serious Bodily Injury claims.... They can get very expensive.
$243/mo Desjardins - 23 years old, male, north York, clean record. Collision coverage, no claims history.
I also agreed to a higher deductible when I first started out with my own insurance to keep my premium a bit lower.
No discount through my work so I went with Desjardins as it was the cheapest I was quoted.
The first million is the expensive part. 2nd million is always cheap because chances of needing it are very low. For me it was an extra $12
Some of you pay so much for insurance :S
@Thrizzl3 and I are combining our car insurance (moving in together) and we got quoted $277/month... Toronto, $2 million liability, collision coverage, depreciation waiver, accident forgiveness, but $1000 deductible. He now pays $261/month alone lol.
I ended up getting it because of a near accident with a Jay walking pedestrian downtown. It was freaky close....Quote:

When I go to look at other quotes, it's more expensive than the renewal. This is really bizarre...
put my speed back on the road and my insurance dropped this year, went from $255 to $174 in one year. cant complain.
just got my renewal with RBC insurance and dropped from 289 to 227 with the speed now to can't complain.
21 Clean record Halton Hills 300 comp, 500 collision
Just got my renewal paperwork. $147/month with Belair. $1M liability, $500 deductible comp and collision, and waiver of depreciation.
36, single, clean record, Mississauga.
13 speed3 and paying 350 a month clean record. I guess the fact that I'm 19 doesn't help
The renewal came in the mail the other day. Last year it was $501 monthly which is full coverage. Starting on the 20th of April it's 440. Ooo don't get scared with that price. That's for me and the miss' 06 mz3 and 11 golf

Speed3 was only $5 more than my 3 a month when I bought mine at 19.Quote:

$440?! Have you shopped around lately? Seems really high, unless you don't have the multi vehicle discount?Quote:
