lonerider Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Like @gcsrt says, insurance is expensive in Canada. I have only the bare minimum basic liability on my bike in Ontario and it costs me more then $800 a year. 51 year old male with 25 years of experience, no tickets and clean driving record. 45 years old, full coverage (250$ deductible) 306.15$ Intact Assurance. Here, in the province of Quebec, insurance's cost is less expensive. But vehicule registration is 571.48$. I think it's lower in Ontario. Take time to shop around, i got quotes almost twice higher. past bikes: WR250X, KLR650, V-Strom 1000, DR650, FZ-6, SV650S, Seca II, GS400S, Seca 750, YZ80.

bmwpowere36m3 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 One thing to keep in mind… the cheapest insurance isn't always the "cheapest". As @yotaman02 alluded to, some insurance companies can be a bear to deal with, when you actually need them… not that we ever plan on needing them.

Cruizin Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 My experience with insurance companies is that they are all pretty much the same. Some have better staffed customer service dept's answering the phones, but they all follow about the same practices and are heavily regulated to operate the same way. I used to only go with local agents, but found that when it was time to collect, the agents are then worthless, they are only authorized to sign people up and then collect money. It's always someone who you will never meet that handles the claims. So, I go for lower price almost every time. And right now, Markel Insurance has the lowest rates I can find in the USA. Plus, my brother in law has them, had a claim on his Harley and he got paid quick and he liked the experience. So Markel sounds pretty darn good to me and they just earned my business.

It's insured via Intact Insurance. My previous bike was at Jevco, but they couldn't compete. Also tried State Farm but they quoted $1500 for just with basic liability, so without Collision and Comprehensive And there are not many more companies actually offering motorcycle insurance in Ontario. You are right, vehicle registration is cheap, I think something like $42 for a motorcycle and $110 for a car. I'd have to look it up because I have a long list of vehicles to do on my birthday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I got my quote online and then called to sign up. I think area and theft rates/accident rates or each area has alot to do with it too. population numbers feed right into those. Live where there's no neighbors for miles and yer rates will be lower. what's comical, I could move a couple of miles and over the city line here. Not much would look different, but my insurance would go down as I'd be living in a borough instead of a city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the finance company require you to have X amount of coverage? I had this big drama with my finance company and insurance when I moved from Los Angeles to Scottsdale.

shadowcat Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 progressive is renewing this year and paying $947 compared to $1051 last year same coverage. Dairyland quoted me $10468 an markel quoted over 4k for coverage. 1 have 1 at fault accident from last year but those quotes are just retarded. the accident was in my car.

For that much it would be a no brainer for me. The difference for me was about $300 for a $500 deductible to cover collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
