The Ontario real premium index

What Ontario drivers actually pay, submitted by drivers. No quotes, no brokers.

Why this exists

Every published Ontario premium figure comes from a source with something to sell — a comparison site, a broker, or an insurer. There is no independent record of what drivers actually pay for a given car in a given city. This is an attempt to build one from the only reliable source: real policies.

What we will and will not do with this

Submit what you actually pay

About a minute. Nothing identifies you.

Aggregates only, published only once volume makes individual entries unidentifiable. See our privacy policy.

✓ Recorded — thank you

Real premiums are the only way this becomes accurate. Every submission makes the next person’s estimate better.

The index

This is where the published index will appear. It is empty because nothing has been collected yet.

Not enough submissions yet

Nothing here is modelled, estimated or filled in from industry averages. When enough real premiums have been submitted, the medians by city and vehicle appear here. Until then this stays empty on purpose.

Why real premiums matter more than estimates

Our own insurance cost estimator is built from publicly known rating factors — territory, vehicle, experience, record, coverage. It is a model. It has never been checked against a large set of real Ontario quotes, and we say so on the tool itself.

Real submitted premiums are the only thing that can fix that. With enough of them, the territory base rates behind every estimate on this site can be corrected against reality rather than inference. That is the whole purpose of this page.

What makes a submission useful

If you pay monthly, multiply by twelve rather than entering the monthly figure — monthly billing usually carries a small financing charge, which is worth capturing consistently.

Step 5 of 5 · Real premiums

Done

That's all five steps.

These figures are modelled from Ontario rating factors and calibrated to published averages — not quotes. See exactly how they are calculated.

Common questions

Is this a quote comparison site?

No. Comparison sites show you quotes and earn a commission when you buy. This page does neither. It collects what drivers actually pay for a given vehicle in a given city and, once there is enough volume, publishes the medians openly. There is no quoting engine, no insurer relationship behind it and nothing to buy.

Why do you want real premiums?

Because our own estimator is a model. It is built from the rating factors Ontario insurers publicly use, and while the logic is sound it has never been checked against a large set of real premiums. Real submitted figures are the only way to correct the territory base rates behind every estimate on this site. We would rather say that plainly than imply an accuracy we have not earned.

Do you share submissions with insurers or brokers?

No, and that is a firm commitment. Submissions are never sold or shared with insurers, brokers or anyone else. Only aggregate figures are ever published, and only once there is enough volume that no individual entry could be identified from them. The form deliberately collects no name, email, policy number or licence number.

What if not enough people submit?

Then nothing gets published. The results section stays exactly as it is now. We will not fill it with modelled numbers, industry averages or figures derived from our own estimator, because a dataset that mixes collected and invented data is worse than no dataset at all.
