Car insurance in Airdrie, Alberta 

Airdrie is the fifth largest city in Alberta following Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Red Deer. It is considered part of the Calgary Region and a member of the Calgary Region Metropolitan Board.  

In Alberta, basic automobile insurance (accident benefits and third-party liability) is required by law. Additional insurance coverage (such as collision and comprehensive) is not required by law. Airdrie car insurance is regulated by The Automobile Insurance Rate Board (AIRB), which regulates automobile insurance rates in all of Alberta. The AIRB approves all rating programs for insurers selling basic and additional coverage to Albertans. 

Because optional coverage is not mandated by law in Alberta, The AIRB has not set a price ceiling on Airdrie car insurance rates, unlike basic coverage for which there is a price cap. 

Factors that determine your car insurance rates in Airdrie

Not all drivers or situations are equal. The following factors may weigh into determining how much you will pay for Airdrie car insurance: 

Car insurance rates for Airdrie seniors

With age comes wisdom – and better driving skills according to Airdrie car insurance providers. Drivers who are in the 50 to 65 age range are in the sweet spot for auto insurance premiums as they are considered the safest and most experienced. 

Drivers older than 70 might see their rates climb up again as increased age could lead to risk of accidents. This could also lead to more claims from drivers in that age category making it expensive for Airdrie auto insurance providers. 

If you are a senior who has seen your auto insurance premium increase with age, comparing rates with different companies may yield savings. Use LowestRates.ca's online quote tool above to get started.

Car insurance rates for Airdrie students

Students have it rough in the insurance game. Their age combined with their lack of driving record/experience leads Airdrie auto insurance providers to consider them a very high-risk category. This could lead to accidents and a greater number of claims. 

This starts to change by your mid-20s when insurance companies begin to ease up on rates and, in fact, start to decrease over time. 

There are some ways you can control your student car insurance costs. For example: 

Car insurance for new immigrants in Airdrie

Newcomers to Alberta can get auto insurance right away with a valid driver’s licence. However, you will need an Alberta driver’s licence eventually. You’ll have a 90-window from the time you arrive, which also may require a new driver’s and knowledge test. 

You can visit the Government of Alberta website to learn more about which country’s licences are accepted and/or have further requirements to obtain an Alberta licence. 

Car insurance for high-risk drivers in Airdrie. 

Even if you’re prone to infractions and have a relatively unsafe driving record, you will need Airdrie auto insurance. The problem is that you will likely pay more than your safer car brethren. 

There are providers that will offer you coverage. LowestRates.ca partners with the best high-risk car insurance providers to ensure you can obtain the coverage you need at the lowest rate available.

How to get the cheapest car insurance in Airdrie

Getting the cheapest car insurance in Airdrie can be achieved with some of the following tips:

Shop

Comparison shopping on sites like LowestRates.ca provides current Airdrie quotes from the top providers in the area. You can also talk to your agent or broker about competitive Airdrie auto insurance quotes. 

Appropriate Coverage

Ensure that you are paying for the insurance you need. Talk to your insurance provider about whether mandatory or optional coverage fits your needs, for example. Also, reviewing your policy once a year will allow you to see if you are paying for what you need and/or if you can renegotiate your premiums.

Driver’s Education

Most Airdrie auto insurance companies look favourably on driver education. It reduces risk (meaning potential for claims), and it sharpens your skills as a driver. The extra “experience” can help reduce premiums. 

Bundling

Taking out all your insurance needs from one provider can save you money. Life and home, bundled with your car insurance, gives an incentive to your Airdrie car insurance provider to reduce rates and reward your loyalty.

Paying on time/Pay upfront

Higher crime rate areas might induce higher Airdrie auto insurance premiums. If possible, keep your car locked in a secure area when not in use and avoid areas that are prone to theft and/or vandalism. 

Driving record

The safer you are and are able to maintain a clean driving record, the more your insurance company will keep premiums to a minimum. It’s good road practice and it helps save you money. 

Tires

Many Airdrie auto insurance companies will provide discounts for winter tire usage.

Other discounts

Members of associations, alumni and other groups can find discounts among Airdrie car insurance companies. Ask your provider to see if you qualify.
