    You are right. I am an insurance underwriter. I can tell you that in my case it is at least $700 more than what I paid last year for my Versa. I live in British Columbia which is the the most expensive place for auto insurance in Canada.

    You must have very basic coverage. I just received my renewal at just over $2,000 with ICBC and I am in my early 60's and I have never ever had an accident.

    A smart man compares a few carriers every 2 years to see if his agent is keeping him honest.

    True but not in B C where ICBC is government owned monopoly. There are options that can be explored

    You are getting ripped off plain and simple, even if it is your only choice. Some of the US carriers have shown that it shouldn't cost anywhere near this to make them a profit.
