Ontario Cities With The Cheapest Car Insurance Have Been Revealed & These 8 Top The List
It's almost half of what other cities pay! 👀
There's nothing quite like getting your full licence and hitting the road on your own for the first time. But that excitement is quickly overshadowed by the costs that come along with it — and let's face it, Ontario car insurance can be pretty pricey.
However, while rates typically run high in areas around the GTA, some cities across the province pay way less than others.
A new report from RATESDOTCA breaks down what Ontarians are paying for their car insurance, and some spots cost almost half of what others are paying.
On average, Ontarians paid $1,555 in 2021, which actually dropped down by $61 from the year before in 2020.
Kingston, Cornwall, Elizabethtown, Amherstview, Gananoque, Martintown, Iroquois and Brockville are tied for the cheapest car insurance rate in all of Ontario. Drivers here shelled out roughly $1,132 in 2021 for their car insurance fees, which is $423 less than the average rate.
Car owners in Port Hope, Belleville, Cobourg, Trenton, Kendal, Napanee and Picton cough up about $1,175 each year, while those in Cloyne, Kemptville and Smiths Falls pay roughly $1,185.
Even though these areas pay the least, all of them except for Belleville, Trenton and Kendal saw their rates go up from last year.
