Do I have to add my child who just got their beginner license?
-
A driver who still has a Beginners or Learner’s license does not need to be listed on a car insurance policy until they have passed their road test and obtained their full License.
As long as they have their Learner’s License they need to have an experienced operator in the vehicle with them at all times so they do not need to be listed on the policy. Once they pass their road test, and get their drivers license, they need to be added to your policy.

-
I’m going on vacation and will be renting a car. Do I have coverage?
-
Your car insurance policy can usually be endorsed to include SEF27 – Liability for Damage to Unowned Vehicles.
You can add this coverage to your car insurance policy for a minimal fee. As long as your rental is staying within New Brunswick, Canada, or USA, you would be covered for any damage which may happen to the rental vehicle.
Some companies even include the coverage for free! Most policies place a dollar limit on this coverage, such as $40,000 or $50,000 per claim, so check with us for specific details to make sure you have adequate coverage.

How are car insurance premiums calculated?
-
While several factors determine the cost of your car insurance, here are the top three factors that insurance companies consider:
- Statistical data about the make, model, and year of your vehicle

I don’t have any accidents or convictions, why are my rates still going up?
-
A major impact on today’s car insurance rates is the cost of repairs. Modern vehicles are equipped with more technology than ever – think of all the cameras and sensors built into our bumpers – which means even minor collisions can result in significant repair costs.
Distracted Driving is also a concern; primarily for the safety and well-being of our communities, and also because it is responsible for an increase in car insurance claims. Simply put: when insurers pay out more for auto repairs, your costs go up, also.
