Is Insurance Mandatory in Toronto?

For optional coverage for your car, read through our Auto Insurance page for details.
What Happens if you don’t have Adequate Insurance in Toronto?
If you drive around without proper insurance or risk owning a home or renting without insurance, you won’t be protected if the worst happens. For example, if you get stopped by the police and you don’t have insurance, you’ll get handed:
- A license suspension
- Multiple fines
- Your car impounded
Most people lack money to rebuild their home, repair their car, or pay for a third-party’s injuries. This latter could amount to thousands of dollars! Don’t leave out the details in your plan and expect the unexpected.
