What factors cause the price to vary depending on the brand?

🔧 Cost of repairs

The parts of a BMW or Mercedes cost 2 to 4 times more than those of a Honda or Toyota. Insurers pass this cost directly on to the premium.

🔒 Flight frequency

Some brands and models are more targeted by thieves. Recent Hyundais and KIA have seen their premiums increase due to their vulnerability to theft.

⭐ Security Clearance

Vehicles with a high IIHS or NHTSA rating (5 stars) receive reduced bonuses. ADAS (automatic braking, blind spot detection) systems also help.

💰 Value of the vehicle

The more expensive the vehicle, the more collision and comprehensive coverage costs. An $80,000 luxury SUV logically costs more to insure than a $25,000 sedan.

🏎️ Engine power

High-horsepower vehicles (V8, turbo) are associated with more serious accidents. A Dodge Charger costs more to insure than a Dodge Journey.

📊 Claims history

Insurers analyze claim statistics by make and model. A model with a high loss rate will see its premium increase for all its owners.

💡 Broker’s Advice — Before You Buy Your Next Vehicle

Get an insurance quote before you buy your car, not after. The premium difference between two similar models can be as high as $500 to $1,500 per year. For example, a Honda CR-V costs significantly less to insure than an Acura RDX, even though they share the same platform.

Frequently Asked Questions — Insurance Rates by Brand

Why are some brands more expensive to insure?
Luxury or sports brands (BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Porsche) are more expensive due to the high cost of spare parts, the complexity of repairs and the increased risk of theft. Popular brands like Honda and Toyota have abundant and affordable parts.
What is the cheapest brand to insure in Quebec?
The Japanese and Korean economy brands: Hyundai, KIA, Mazda and Nissan for compact sedans, and Honda and Toyota for the best reliability/cost ratio. Premiums between $650 and $1,000 for a claim-free driver.
Does the color of the vehicle affect the price of the insurance?
No, it’s a widespread myth. Insurers do not take colour into account. The determining factors are the make, model, year, engine power, safety equipment and your driver profile.
Do electric vehicles cost more to insure?
Yes, on average 15 to 30% more expensive. The main reason is the cost of replacing the battery ($10,000 to $25,000) and the need for specialized technicians. However, some insurers offer “green vehicle” discounts.
Does an SUV cost more to insure than a sedan of the same brand?
Generally yes, 10 to 25% more expensive due to the higher replacement value and higher mass. However, some compact SUVs with excellent safety ratings (Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4) have very competitive premiums.
How does the frequency of flight affect my award?
Frequently stolen models see their premium increase significantly. In Quebec, the most stolen models include some Honda CR-V, Lexus RX, Toyota Highlander and Dodge RAM. A certified ignition interlock or GPS tracking device can reduce the impact.
Do I have to change insurers if I change car make?
Not necessarily, but it’s a great time to compare. Some insurers specialize in luxury vehicles and offer better rates for BMW or Audi, while others excel for popular brands.
Does the Assur360 comparator cover all brands?
Yes, Assur360 compares prices for all brands sold in Canada — from economy (Hyundai, KIA) to luxury (BMW, Mercedes, Porsche) to electric (Tesla, Polestar). Our 30+ partner insurers cover the entire market.
