Car Insurance Discount to Ontario Drivers with Winter Tires

Canadian winters can be harsh and at times dangerous. We all know that having winter tires on is a great way to ensure some extra safety and traction while driving in unpredictable conditions.

Did You Know?
In 2016, the Ontario government created a new rule that pushed insurance companies in the province to provide a discount to drivers who buy and install winter tires. This discount is not just about saving money, but more about reducing potential danger on our roads. By having winter tires on your vehicle, both yourself and the insurance company benefit. That is why insurance companies offer a 5% discount if your vehicle is equipped with winter tires.

Here’s How:
To take advantage of this discount, call your insurance company and ask for the following details: 

• What are the general winter tire requirements
• What are the dates in which my winter tires must be on my vehicle? (In Ontario, the majority of insurance companies request you have your tires on before December 1st)
• How do I show proof that I have winter tires installed
• ​How much do I save
• How do I receive the savings, ie: check in the mail or automatic deduction
