Insurers evaluate applications based on the likelihood of a claim and how much the claim will cost. When you purchase insurance in Ontario, insurers consider your place of residence, type of vehicle, car usage, and driving record in determining that amount of premium that you will pay. You should know as well that the price of your premium is affected by such factors like competition, market forces, health care costs, legal expenses, taxes, economic conditions, and catastrophic events.
