Well, that depends on a few things. We look at several key factors when calculating your auto insurance premium (and so do other insurance companies):

How you drive your car in addition to the number of kilometers you drive every year, including daily commute and business use.
-
Your driving record, which includes things like the number of years you've all been licensed for, speeding tickets, and accidents.

How Do I Save On Car Insurance in the Northwest Territories?
Here are a few simple tips to save on car insurance in the Northwest Territories:
- Insure all your cars with us so you can make the most of our "multi-vehicle discount."
- Insure both your car and home with us so that you qualify for a "multi-line discount."
- Increase your deductible – insurance is really meant to cover you for damages you could never afford on your own. Generally speaking, a higher deductible can mean a lower premium.
- Think about removing collision coverage if you drive an older car. This means weighing the cost of collision coverage with the value of your car and chosen deductibles.
- Maintain a great driving record by remaining claims-free and conviction-free.
- Consider driving "low-risk" vehicle. Vehicles with a widespread history of theft are more likely to have a higher premium. Read more here.

How Does Car Insurance Work in the Northwest Territories?
Once you've decided on the right kind of auto insurance coverage and deductible amounts with your insurance provider, you will pay for an insurance premium. This will provide you financial protection against physical damage or bodily injury that can happen from traffic collisions. It can also cover liability costs if you ever injure someone else or their property in a car accident. With enhanced and special coverage options, you can explore ways to add extra protection also.
Car Insurance Eligibility and Restrictions
To be eligible for auto insurance, you (and all drivers you wish to include in the policy) must have a valid driver's license. Insurance companies will look at your prior driving record to determine eligibility and rates. Other eligibility restrictions may arise from past convictions. This too will vary depending on when your last conviction occurred and the nature of the conviction.
Other insurance conditions may arise depending on the type of vehicle, its use, and any customizations or modifications made to the vehicle. For example, if you've altered your vehicle to enhance its performance or appearance, most insurance companies would need to assess the vehicle to determine if they could insure it. If you plan on modifying your vehicle, call us first! We will let you know if the changes you plan on making could have an impact on your policy and your premiums.

†National – Car – Percentage
Nationally, the 606 new TD Insurance customers who were surveyed between March 11th, 2022 to March 29th, 2022 and August 8th, 2022 to August 17th, 2022, who reported their annual car insurance premiums paid to their previous insurance provider and who reported their annual car insurance premiums payable to TD Insurance upon switching their car insurance policy, reported an average annual premium savings of approximately 24%. The survey sample consisted of new customers who switched their car insurance policies to TD Insurance between September 2021 to August 2022. It was conducted with a 95% confidence interval and produced a 3% margin of error. These survey results do not include customers in British Columbia, Manitoba or Saskatchewan. Savings amounts are not guaranteed; actual annual premium savings obtained nationally from switching car insurance policies to TD Insurance varies based on each customer's individual insurance profile and province of residence. Certain conditions, limitations and exclusions apply to all offers.
