Hello all,
I'm trying to put together a group buy for insurance in Ontario. I started with a handful of my own customers but I have recently been getting a number of en-queries from other drivers. SO, if you aren't happy with your current insurance, think you are paying too much, worried about getting dropped or are just curious about shopping around please get in touch with me by e-mail. I'll send you a form e-mail with info that is needed by underwriters and submit the list (which is hopefully huge) number of brokers I work with.
Cheers

Gore: none at all and they will not renew grandfathered policies
North Waterloo Farmer's mutual: No
Intact: no

Wow, that is not good progress. Hopefully someone comes with a gift for Christmas!

Not at all good progress.. but I've got a lot more work to do. I've had a lot of customers get angry enough in the past that their brokers/insurers have made special case exemptions to FISCO rules and written policies for JDMs. Never underestimate the power of a strongly worded letter!

I'm hoping that a big group is tempting enough for exemptions even if a rule has been filed.

I have found a couple of new markets for commercial JDM insurance though.

Is insurance in Ontario very expensive for Delicas?
