Keeping the same insurer for 10 years. Premiums rise by 5 to 12% each year for no apparent reason. Shopping every 1-2 years protects you from that silent climbing. A broker does this work for free.

Mistakes to avoid when you want to save money

⚠️

Never sacrifice your essential protections

To save $50, some people take out excess liability or collision coverage without having the means to repair their vehicle. Always keep $2 million in civil liability. Save elsewhere: franchising, multi-product, shopping. A broker helps you cut in the right place.

What does NOT work to save?

❌

Hiding an accident

Insurers consult the FCSA (Central Claims File). Omitting = risk of policy cancellation.

❌

Lying about mileage

Detectable at renewal or in the event of a claim. May lead to the denial of compensation.

❌

Put another name as the main

Insurance fraud. Criminal consequences and cancellation of policy.

How much can I really save on my car insurance in 2026?
By applying several of the 12 tips above, you can reduce your premium by 15-40%. Our Assur360 customers save an average of $200 to $500 per year just by shopping with a broker.
What is the best tip to apply first?
Shop with a broker from our partner firms every 1-2 years. A single step allows you to compare 9+ insurers. Frequent differences from $500 to $1,200/year for the same profile. Compare for free.
Is it true that combining a car and a home saves money?
Yes — automatic discount of 10-15% on both policies with most insurers. For a combined premium of $2,000/year, that’s $200 to $300 in instant savings.
Does increasing my deductible really reduce my premium?
Yes. Increase the deductible from $250 to $500 = 8% to 12%. Increase to $1,000 = 15% to 20%. Be careful: make sure you can pay the deductible in the event of a claim.
Are anti-theft devices worth it?
Yes, especially in urban areas. An approved immobilizer system gives up to 15% off. The installation cost ($200-600) is often amortized in 1-2 years of savings.
Does the annual vs. monthly payment really make a difference?
Yes, 3 to 5% off by paying the full annual premium at once. For a $1,200 premium, that’s $36 to $60 in savings per year.
Does declaring low mileage help?
Absolutely. Less than 12,000 km/year: up to 15% off. Less than 8,000 km/year: even more. Retirees and teleworkers are particularly benefiting.
Can I save on my deductible without increasing it?
Yes, by choosing zero-deductible endorsements for glass breakage, theft, or major claims. Some companies offer them for free or at a low cost.
Can changing your vehicle really reduce my premium?
Yes. Models with automatic braking, blind spot detection, and a rearview camera cost 5 to 15 percent less to insure. Luxury or sporty vehicles cost much more.
