Advice for retirees

Accurately report your actual annual mileage. Many retirees overestimate their use and pay too much. Do the math: typical journeys × 52 weeks. If you drive less than 10,000 km/year, you are entitled to a significant discount that is often not applied by default.

Common mistakes 55+ make with their insurance

Never shop

Keeping the same company for 20 years out of habit costs an average of $2,000 to $5,000 too much over 10 years. Shop every 1-2 years.

Forgetting to mention retirement

Changing your status from active to retired changes your mileage and therefore your premium. Notify your broker as soon as you retire.

Accept auto-renewal

The insurer will never spontaneously offer you its best price. A call to a broker = immediate comparison.

Frequently asked questions — Car insurance for people aged 55 and over

Is there really a car insurance discount for those 55 and over?
Yes. Most Quebec insurers offer a senior discount of 5 to 20% starting at age 55 or 65, depending on the company. This discount reflects the fact that experienced drivers statistically have fewer accidents than young drivers.
At what age does the senior discount start?
It varies: some insurers start at age 50, others at age 55, 60 or 65. A broker from our Assur360 partner firms identifies which insurer applies the discount the earliest for your profile.
Will my premium automatically decrease at age 55?
Not always. Some insurers apply the discount automatically, others do not. You often have to ask for it or shop elsewhere. This is one of the main reasons why 55+ gain from comparing each year.
Am I entitled to discounts if I am retired?
Yes. Retirees typically drive fewer kilometres per year (no commute to work), which significantly reduces risk and premiums. Report your low annual mileage — many insurers offer up to 15% off.
Can I lose my senior discount after an accident?
The age discount doesn’t go away, but your overall premium can increase by 15 to 40 percent after an at-fault accident. A broker can help you find a company that is less severe with claims files.
Is there special coverage for recreational vehicles (RVs, convertibles)?
Yes. RVs, motorhomes and classic vehicles have dedicated policies with often advantageous rates for 55+ who use them seasonally. Assur360 compares several RV specialists.
Do I have to take a driving test again after the age of 75?
The SAAQ requires a medical examination at the age of 75 and 80, and then every 2 years. No practical driving test is systematic. As long as your licence is valid, your insurer will normally cover you.
How to get the best price at 60-70 years old?
1) Shop around every 1-2 years — premiums vary wildly between insurers for 60+. 2) Combine car + home. 3) Report your low mileage. 4) Take advantage of the retiree discount. Compare 9+ insurers in 3 minutes.
Do 55+ really pay less than 30-50 year olds?
Statistically, yes — until the age of 70-75. After age 75, premiums may rise slightly due to a higher risk of minor losses. But they are almost always lower than at 25-35 years old.
