Questions to Ask While Shopping for High Risk Driving Insurance
As a high risk driver in Ontario, your options with insurers are limited compared with drivers with clean driving records. However, this does not mean you are without a choice. In fact, there is a lot to consider when shopping for high risk driving insurance. Here are important questions to ask insurance professionals when choosing a high risk insurance partner.
1. What happens when my driving offenses drop off my record and I have a clean driving record again?
Look for an insurance partner who has a plan to get you back to a clean driver rate as soon as possible.

2. How does the insurance brokerage view High Risk Drivers? Where does it fit with their business?
If you are a newer high risk driver, you may have heard “we will be unable to continue your insurance upon renewal”, “we don’t insure high-risk drivers”, or may have simply felt your insurance company left you feeling lesser than when dealing with them.
At Bryson, we know friends, family, and even co-workers who have been deemed as high-risk drivers at some point in their past. Does it make them a bad person? Absolutely not, it just means they made a mistake. We are all humans; we have all made mistakes. Brokers at Bryson understand this. Our goal is your goal – to provide you the best insurance coverage at the best rate.

3. What options for insurance do I have as a high risk driver?
The market for high risk drivers is already limited when compared with drivers who have clean driving records. As a high risk driver, you want to make sure you have a company that can shop for a competitive high risk rate. It is also important to consider what happens when you have a clean driving record. Does your insurance company have standard rate options too?
4. What options do I have to lower my high risk insurance premium?
Regardless of whether you are applying for standard vehicle insurance or high risk vehicle insurance, there are many options to help lower your premium. Because the premiums are increased for high risk driving insurance, each option to save money has a greater impact on the overall cost.
