How car insurance in Mississauga, Ontario works

Matt Hands, VP, Insurance and MoneySense

October 5, 2023

Mississauga is the sixth-largest city in Canada and its multicultural population grows exponentially each year. With 7 major highways nearby and 3 of them being major arteries into the city of Toronto, it’s no wonder 25% of people in Mississauga commute into Toronto every day.

The rapid population growth has led to the construction of new major roadways paving the way for all the new commuters. If you’re not on one of the many highways, make sure you slow down. These new construction projects, municipal zones, and community zones can regulate your speed down to 40km/h from a street where you were going twice as fast.

Whether it's the speed zones, the population surge, or the growing number of red-light cameras but Mississauga drivers pay some the most for car insurance in Canada, consistently ranking in the top 5 cities in Ontario for costly insurance premiums.

Why should you care?

Car insurance in Mississauga, and across Ontario is a requirement for all drivers. In order to get the best car insurance rates it's critical to understand how it works.

First, Mississauga operates in a no-fault insurance system. No-fault means you only ever deal with your own insurance company for a claim or following an accident, not that you can't be found at-fault following a crash.

Ontario auto insurance is provided by private insurance carriers. Those companies are regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRAO). FSRAO ensures rate increases are substantiated. In plain words, no insurance company can raise rates without prior approval. c

Car insurance coverage is broken down into two categories - mandatory and optional.

Mandatory auto insurance coverage includes:

Third-party liability
Accident benefits
Uninsured automobile insurance
Direct Compensation Property Damage (DCPD)

Optional car insurance coverage includes:

Collision insurance
Comprehensive car insurance
Specified perils
All perils

Also available in any city in Ontario are Optional Policy Change Forms (OPCF) which are coverage enhancements. Here are 4 common Ontario endorsements.

OPCF 20 - covers the cost of a rental vehicle while yours is being repaired or replaced
OPCF 27 - Ports your existing insurance to a rental car or car you borrow
OPCF 39 - Your insurer forgives your first accident claim so it doesn't impact your insurance rate
OPCF 43 - Removes depreciation in calculating the value of your car when settling a claim

Factors that impact your Mississauga car insurance rates

It pays to shop around to find cheap car insurance in Mississauga. Even though an insurance application is fairly standard you will find that different insurance companies offer different rates based on their existing users, the number of active claims on their fiscal books, and overall risk tolerance calculations. Furthermore, there are several factors beyond your control that impact a risk tolerance calculation, like if you live in an area with higher than average levels of insurance fraud. Here are seven factors auto insurance companies consider before offering personal car insurance in Mississauga:

Driver demographics

Where you live

Vehicle type

Driving history

Driving activity

Type of insurance coverage

Applicable discounts

How to get cheap car insurance in Mississauga

Shop and compare
Research which company provides cheap car insurance in Mississauga, and also the best value for you and your vehicle. Rates may change up to four times a year, but lucky for you comparing Mississauga car insurance quotes with us is free.
Stay with your current insurer
Some Mississauga car insurance companies will give loyalty discounts to drivers who remain active with them for years. Especially if they add family members or multiple vehicles to their policy.
Bundle your policies
If you use the same insurance company for both your home and auto insurance needs, your insurer will often thank you with a dip in premiums.
Get a multi car discount
If you have multiple drivers and vehicles in the same household, by putting them all on one policy can save you money.
Increase your deductible
Your deductible is the portion you pay when settling a claim before your insurer will pay the rest. If you’re willing to double your deductible, it could save you money.

Ask about discounts
If you’re a member of a large corporation, union, or a school alumnus, it could help you get cheaper Mississauga car insurance.
Pay premiums annually, instead of monthly
Paying monthly adds administrative costs to your insurer, so if you’re able to pay in full annually you can lower your premiums.
Maintain a good driving record
If you’re a safe driver, obey the rules of the road and drive according to road conditions you can reduce your chances of an accident. Car crashes stay on your insurance record for up to ten years and can result in higher premiums.
Install winter tires
You can save up to 3-5% simply by adding winter tires to your car.

Frequently asked Mississauga auto insurance questions

How much is car insurance in Mississauga?

What are the best insurance companies in Mississauga?

Which car has the lowest insurance in Mississauga?

The car you drive is one of many factors that go into your Mississauga insurance quote. That said, inexpensive, used cars with good safety ratings and low rates of theft generally yield cheaper insurance costs. Minivans and SUVs can be cheaper than sedans because of their risk profile based on the typical drivers. In other words, experienced drivers who may have a family tend to drive more cautiously. Here is our list of the cheapest cars and the cost to insure them.

Where do I get the cheapest car insurance quotes in Mississauga?

Insurance companies charge based on risk. If they have a high number of risky clients, they'll balance it out by offering lower car insurance to safer drivers. So, finding your cheapest rate depends on many factors, including the current status of the insurance provider themselves.

Insurance companies aren't in the business of winning on price alone, they market their values, ease-of-use, and the discounts they've worked out with different groups like unions or university alumni.

However, as much as you want to save money, you probably don't want cheap car insurance. Ideally, you find the right price for the coverage you desire. Cheap car insurance can cost you much more if you're in an accident.

Use our quote to find your best price. We'll connect you with a Mississauga insurance broker to finalize the deal and explain all the coverage details so you get exactly what you want without sacrificing your safety.
