Why Calgary drivers pay different prices for the same car
Alberta has a private auto insurance market, so two neighbours with the same vehicle and the same clean record can be quoted very different premiums depending on which company they ask. Calgary adds its own factors: hail claims, commuting distance across the city, overnight parking, and where the vehicle is garaged by postal code.
The only reliable way to know whether you are overpaying is to put the same information in front of several licensed agents at once and compare what comes back.
