Car Insurance in Burlington - What You Need to Know

  • Know your highways: Burlington is home to many major highway routes, including the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW), Highway 403, Highway 407, and the nearby Highway 401. Before using one of these busy throughways, make sure you plan your route in advance and are prepared to handle highway speeds, congestion, semi-truck traffic, and driving conditions that can make navigating the major routes very difficult.
  • Take the leisurely way: If you’re not in a hurry, leave yourself a little extra time and drive along the scenic Lakeshore Road. Passing south of Highway 403 — and hugging the shore of Lake Ontario — Lakeshore Road is home to a multitude of sprawling estates, popular trails, and lively parks and green spaces.
  • Consider parking: Heading to beautiful downtown Burlington is a great way to spend a summer day. The waterfront, shops, parks, and boulevards are world-class, just make sure you leave extra time to find parking. Downtown Burlington is a popular destination for regional tourists and getting a parking spot for the day can be difficult.
  • Festival season: Burlington is known to put on some of the area’s most popular music festivals, including the Burlington Sound of Music Festival. If you’re planning to take in some of the festivities, be extra careful when navigating the downtown areas — the intersections are crowded, kids and cyclists are everywhere, and some streets may be temporarily closed to allow for foot traffic.
  • Combining your policies: If you own a vehicle and a home — or even if you rent your residence — you should consider bundling your insurance policies with the same online auto insurance company. Combining your policies can result in significant savings to your annual premiums, often up to 15% for your car insurance and up to 10% for your property (home/tenant/condo) insurance. Ask your Dedicated Insurance Assistant what price breaks you should expect to see by bundling.
  • Review your policy annually: Car insurance rates in Burlington are never static, nor is your driving situation. Because many of the variables that affect premiums can and do change, it’s imperative that Oakville and Burlington drivers get an updated auto insurance quote once per year, prior to their current policy renewal date. Rate comparison sites like Surex allow drivers to quickly compare insurance companies, coverages and prices from many of Canada’s leading insurance companies — an easy practice that could lead to a significantly lower premium.
  • Ask about discounts: Most drivers are aware of bundling and winter tire discounts, but did you know there are many more ways to save on your premium? Before closing your policy, ask your Dedicated Insurance Assistant about what discounts you qualify for. Here are a few discounts to keep in mind: Early Renewal, Electric Vehicle, Private Parking, Anti-Theft & Safety Technology, Retiree Discounts, Loyalty Discounts, Driver’s Education, CAA Membership, Occupational Discounts, Good Student, Telematics, and Claims-Free Driving.
  • Consider make and model: Different vehicle types attract different kinds of drivers. Because of this, insurance companies may view some new vehicles as more ‘high-risk’ than others, based on who is likely to purchase and drive the vehicle. So before selecting your next car, do your homework. Is a sports car going to be more expensive to insure than a safety-first sedan? It probably is, but the only way to find out is to get insurance online using the different makes and models.

At Surex, our three-step process will ensure that you end up with the best car insurance in Burlington. Here’s how it works:

Do you have questions about car insurance in Burlington?

Getting the best car insurance in Burlington can be a very expensive undertaking, which is why it’s so important for drivers to compare options online and find a policy that meets their needs and fits their budget.

In addition to shopping around for low cost auto insurance rates, drivers can lower their rate by installing winter tires during the cold months, increasing their deductible, keeping an accident-free driving record, avoiding making minor claims, keeping their car in secure parking (if possible), bundling their policies with the same auto insurance company, and asking their Dedicated Insurance Assistant if they qualify for discounts.

The top rated car insurance companies in Ontario (including Burlington) offer a variety of coverages and a range of rates. The top rated car insurance companies in Ontario also offer drivers affordable car insurance discounts. Because of these reasons, it’s difficult to identify which car insurance is the best. Different drivers require different coverages, and will end up paying different amounts for their policies, based on a range of personal factors. So instead of getting too attached to a single car insurance company or coverage type, it’s important that drivers educate themselves by shopping around and speaking with the best insurance broker about their unique insurance needs.

The top rated insurance companies in Ontario (including Burlington) are not allowed to access the credit history of their customers, nor are they allowed to set their rates based on income. So technically, employment status does not affect car insurance premiums; all that matters to insurance companies is that policyholders pay their premiums on time.

However, if you are unemployed, your Dedicated Insurance Assistant may be able to assist you in lowering your premium by offering you some cost-saving tips, such as putting fewer kilometres on your car, installing winter tires, or bundling your different insurance policies.

Drivers in Burlington are required by the provincial law to have the following basic auto insurance coverages:

Third Party Liability Coverage: covers drivers for damages they cause to third parties.

Statutory Accident Benefits Coverage: covers drivers for uncovered healthcare costs, income replacement, etc., in the wake of a no-fault vehicle accident.

Uninsured Automobile Insurance Coverage: protects drivers if they’re involved in an accident with an uninsured or unidentified third party.

Direct Compensation & Property Damage Coverage: covers the costs of the policyholder’s vehicle and its contents if damaged by another driver.

Beyond these mandatory auto insurance coverages, drivers can opt to include a range of additional coverages to their policy — such as Comprehensive and Collision — that will protect them against a range of non-accident related damages.

Generally speaking, if your vehicle is damaged by road debris, it’s going to be covered under either Collision (if it’s debris that was on the road, thus technically you could have avoided it) or Comprehensive (if it’s debris that was flying, and thus was unavoidable).

If the online insurance claim is made with Collision, there’s a good chance that your rate will increase, as it will be considered an at-fault claim. On the other hand, if the claim is made with Comprehensive, it should not affect your rates, as the incident will be considered unavoidable. In either case, be prepared to pay the deductible before collecting the payout.
