How to read your estimate

The figure is a monthly midpoint. Real quotes will land above or below it depending on details this tool cannot see, such as your exact postal code, mileage, and the specific vehicle. Treat anything within about 25 percent as normal variation, and treat a quote far above your estimate as a signal to shop around.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is an online insurance estimate?

An estimate gives you a realistic ballpark for budgeting and comparison, but only a real quote from an insurer, based on your full profile, is binding. Use the estimate to know roughly what to expect, then compare actual quotes.

What raises my premium the most?

A recent at-fault accident or ticket, being a young or newly licensed driver, living in a high-claims area, and insuring an expensive or theft-prone vehicle. Coverage level and deductible also matter.

Does my credit score affect car insurance?

In many US states, yes, insurers use a credit-based insurance score. In most of Canada, auto insurers do not use credit for pricing, though some optional products may.

How often should I re-estimate?

At every renewal and after any life change, moving, a new car, a clean record milestone, or adding or removing a driver. These can all shift your rate.

Is my information saved?

No. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you enter is sent to or stored on our servers.
