The best way to purchase auto insurance in Ontario is to consult a licensed insurance broker. You will need to provide the necessary information, including the make and model of your vehicle, as well as your personal or commercial driving record. When considering which insurance broker to deal with, you should first ensure the agent is licensed to provide insurance in Ontario. You can verify this on the Registered Insurance Brokers of Ontario website . You should also question your broker's professional accreditations and length of working history with her or his current brokerage firm. The most credible insurance brokers have usually been with the same firm for a number of years or at least have not moved around too much. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous players in the insurance industry, and it behooves you to verify who you are dealing with.
