Auto Insurance 101
The pricing of an automobile insurance policy is fairly complicated but understanding the things that you’re in control of is simple. Yes, it is true that safer drivers with fewer claims and/or convictions pay less, but there’s more to it than that. The kind of car you drive can also have a significant impact on your rates. We find it is cheaper to insure domestic over imported vehicles, trucks are often better. There are other things that are not necessarily in your control; where you live, how your neighbours drive, or the instances of crime in your neighbourhood, all of these can have a significant impact on the price you pay for car insurance. Thankfully the experts at First Durham Insurance have a good handle on the Pickering car insurance market and are available to help find coverage for you.

As Your Life Evolves, So Should Your Coverage
As life changes, is your current coverage keeping up? When we buy our first car, it gives us such a feeling of freedom. Of course, for most of us, we bought a used vehicle that was affordable and purchased a basic policy that covered the basic necessities. Later on, as you start to earn more money, various life scenarios arise – you upgrade your vehicle(s) -you have children, grown children leave the house, dependent parents now live with you, or maybe you travel and spend 6 months in Florida. Has anyone told you that in all of these situations that your policy options look different? How has your policy evolved with your needs over the years? Maybe you’re dealing with the wrong insurance company. Either way, our expert brokers dealing with car insurance in Ajax and Pickering at First Durham are here to help. Call us or get a quote today!

Does OHIP Cover Car Accidents?
Despite what people think, OHIP or other Government agencies do not cover most of the expenses when someone is injured in a car accident. Many medical costs, especially those related to the purchase of devices, are paid for by your auto insurance. Depending on what you have purchased there are so many other costs your policy can cover, such as the costs related to looking after you, your children and dependents. Customize your policy to better suit your needs, you may or may not need this, has anyone taken the time to explain these things to you? Do you know how your current policy stacks up? Want to know more about what kinds of coverage you should be considering for your car insurance? Pickering and Ajax residents can connect with one of our licensed experts who will be happy to walk you through all of your options.

“Jacqueline, we got our Jeep back about a week ago and I wanted to reach out to thank you for all your support with this. With the exception of the insurance fellow I spoke with the night of the accident and the nightmare tow truck driver, our experience was excellent.
Both you and Assured and Enterprise were wonderful to deal with and I would recommend all three to others. Thanks again.”
