Affordable car insurance in Windsor

Getting affordable car insurance in Windsor is crucial when you’re trying to balance your budget. There are a few things you can do to find the most affordable car insurance:

• Choose the right car
  Insurers use the Canadian Loss Experience Automobile Rating (CLEAR) system to determine the likelihood of your car being involved in a claim, and how much it might cost. Choosing one with a lower CLEAR number can help you get the cheapest insurance possible.
• Adjust your coverage to reflect your needs
  You can decrease the amount of coverage, increase your deductible, or remove optional endorsements to shave a little extra off your monthly cost. Remember though, you may pay more out of pocket when you make a claim, and you may have less protection when decreasing coverages.
• Bundle your home and auto insurance
  Most providers will offer significantly discounted rates when you insure your home and car(s) with them.
• Take advantage of discounts
  Most providers offer discounts for things like being claims-free, insuring multiple cars, and installing winter tires. Find one that puts the most money back in your pocket. See Onlia’s car insurance discounts.
