The Alberta auto insurance difference
Alberta auto insurance companies rate cars based on the claim history of that vehicle. They look at things like accident frequency, repair costs, theft, vandalism and safety ratings for each make and model. The less money insurance companies have to pay in claims for a particular vehicle, the less expensive it is to insure.
