A Confederacy of Dunces
I would like to know if anyone has information to a reliable company for car insurance. I am trying to help out a friend who has not been driving a car for years, he is 31 and is going for his driving test this February. He has never had an accident when he previously had his license it's just the time away from being a regular driver that might work against him. Actually, he was quoted a rate of $4500 from a source in Ottawa but will be moving to Toronto in the Summer. Would it matter on location?

Any sort of advice I can pass along would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
In location, yes...

To insure a car in Aurora is considerably cheaper than in TO.

Annual mileage will factor in as well as commuting distance.
 
I am with CAA, but you have to have a CAA membership to get a discount, and I have my house with them too so it maks it cheaper. I have heard State Farm has pretty good rates. Stay awy from Co Operaters, what a bunch of rip off assholes they are
 
From the sounds of it (going for his licence in Feb) he is and will be treated as a new driver.

He is going to get reamed wholly and completely.

$4500.00 sounds about right for an average vehicle.
 
Location does count. From experience, downtown Toronto will be about 40% higher than suburban Ottawa. I know someone who has just moved from the Beaches out to somewhere near Mississauga and got an instant rate reduction of about 15%...
