Car insurance laws in Newfoundland.

Newfoundland and Labrador drivers must be in possession of legally determined minimum insurance coverage to drive on our roads. These minimum limits have been enacted to ensure drivers are financially responsible if an at-fault accident occurs.

Current limits for auto insurance in Newfoundland are:

  • $200,000 in liability coverage per accident
  • Uninsured and unidentified motorist coverage

Newfoundland drivers are not required to carry accident benefits coverage, although most do choose to buy this coverage, which includes coverage for medical payments, disability coverage, and death benefits coverage. This type of insurance is mandatory in other provinces. Many drivers in Newfoundland also opt to increase their liability coverage to limit risk and financial exposure.

There are also other optional coverages that can be purchased. These include comprehensive and collision coverage to protect in the event of an at-fault accident or non-accident scenario such as theft.

How is fault determined by insurance companies in Newfoundland and Labrador?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

In Newfoundland, the adjusters for the insurance companies involved in the claim will determine who is at fault. Each insurance company uses its own guidelines to come up with a fault determination.

Newfoundland is unusual in Canada in that it has no type of no-fault benefits. The insurance company for the at-fault driver is responsible for paying out on damages to the other driver’s vehicle as well as for injuries. Accident benefits are not a mandatory coverage in Newfoundland but are available to drivers who choose to add them to their insurance policy.

The handling of claims is governed by insurance regulations; the 2004 reforms helped to reduce the cost of lawsuits, but drivers can still be sued for pain and suffering.

What insurance system does Newfoundland and Labrador adhere to?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

Newfoundland and Labrador operates under the tort system. This lets you sue an at-fault driver for your pain and suffering, wage losses, and other damages related to an accident.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s auto insurance rates are low. Why?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

Auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador are on the lower side of the spectrum thanks, in large part, to the reforms enacted by the government in 2004. These auto insurance reforms helped reduce rates across the province. But according to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, additional reforms are necessary to maintain rate stability. Problems that allow for large pain and suffering awards for relatively minor injuries continue to exist in the province’s auto insurance system.

How do auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador compare to other provinces?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

What are the factors used to determine auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

Auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador are determined by a variety of factors:

  • Your driving record
  • The type and age of your car
  • Your insurance claims record
  • Your annual mileage and territory of use
  • How you use your car (personal or business)
  • Whether or not any other drivers in the household use your car

The 2004 auto insurance reform prevents auto insurance companies from denying coverage or increasing rates solely on the basis of any of these factors:

  • Age and gender
  • Age of the vehicle
  • Accidents in which you were not at fault
  • Lapses in insurance except when tied to a license suspension for a violation of traffic laws
  • Previously being refused insurance by another company
  • Being insured with Facility Association
In Newfoundland and Labrador, who determines auto insurance rates?2022-09-23T14:09:35-02:30

In Newfoundland and Labrador, individual insurers set auto insurance rates, which are then regulated and approved by the Newfoundland and Labrador Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities. Among the top factors that go into determining your rate are your driving record including tickets or at-fault accidents, the value of the car you drive as well as the make and model, and your driving habits including the length of your daily commute.
