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.
Newfoundland car insurance – your questions answered.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, who determines auto insurance rates?
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.
What are the factors used to determine auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador?
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
How do auto insurance rates in Newfoundland and Labrador compare to other provinces?
Newfoundland and Labrador auto insurance premiums fall in the lower half of the national rate spectrum.
- Ontario $1445
- British Columbia $1680
- Alberta $1251
- Manitoba $1080
- North West Territories $978
- Nunavut $963
- Nova Scotia $847
- Saskatchewan $936
- New Brunswick $819
- Prince Edward Island $796
- Quebec $661

Newfoundland and Labrador’s auto insurance rates are low. Why?
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.
What can I do to find cheap auto insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador?
There are many ways to get cheap auto insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador:
- Work with an independent broker who can help you find the best policy
- Always pay your premiums on time
- Choose a vehicle with less susceptibility to theft
- Choose a vehicle with more safety and security features
- Maintain a good driving history
- Obey the rules of the road and avoid speeding tickets
- Understand and choose the right type of insurance coverage
- Shop around for the best policy
Is auto insurance mandatory in Newfoundland and Labrador?
Yes. The law requires motorists to carry insurance on their vehicle.
In Newfoundland and Labrador, what are the penalties for driving without auto insurance?
If you’re convicted of driving without insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador, you’ll have to pay a fine that ranges from $2,000 to $4,000 for your first offence. The fine increases to a range of $3,000 to $5,000 for second and subsequent offences. And there are other penalties that may accompany your fine. If you’re charged for driving without insurance in Newfoundland and Labrador, you may also have your driver’s license suspended and your vehicle impounded for 90 days.
What insurance system does Newfoundland and Labrador adhere to?
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.
How is fault determined by insurance companies in Newfoundland and Labrador?
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.
As one of Atlantic Canada’s largest independent brokers, we work for you – not the insurance company. So we always have your best interests at heart. That’s why we will shop around to find you the best insurance at the best price.
Our Latest Advice
National Road Safety Week 2021
National Road Safety Week 2021
Due to the high potential for injury and death, drivers hold a lot of responsibility when operating an automobile. Therefore, it is everyone’s responsibility to take the necessary steps to keep our roads safe; we can do this by understanding and following all respective rules and regulations.
The Canadian Safety Council has designated May 18-24, 2021 as National Road Safety Week. Accordingly, we have compiled a list of 7 road safety practices to help keep our communities safer.
#1 Don’t Drive Impaired.
Driving while under the influence of alcohol and drugs is dangerous and has severe consequences for you and the people around you.
Between 1,250 and 1,500 people are killed, and more than 63,000 are injured each year in Canada by impairment-related crashes.
Do not drive under the influence. Instead, plan ahead – arrange for a designated driver or call a taxi/ride-sharing service.
# 2 Obey the “Move Over” Law
The “Move Over” Law is designed to protect those who drive emergency and other designated vehicles.
Upon approaching emergency vehicles, including tow trucks, that are stopped on a highway with their emergency lights on, drivers must slow down and proceed with caution, and move to another lane if it is safe to do so.
#3 Be Careful in Construction Zones
-Watch for construction zones*
-Use caution
-Slow down
-Obey construction zone signs
-Obey traffic-control personnel
*Remember – Fines double in construction zones.
#4 Zipper Merge
The “zipper merge” is a late merge strategy where all available lanes of traffic are used right up to the lane closure, where drivers then alternate into the open lane.
This looks like teeth on a zipper coming together. It’s faster, safer, and will reduce congestion.
Please do not try to merge before the bottleneck.
# 5 Obey Posted Speed Limits
Always be aware of the posted speed limit of the road you are driving on, and ensure you are abiding by it.
In fact, 27% of traffic fatalities on Canadian roads are the direct result of speeding.
But remember, posted speed limits are set for ideal driving conditions. Therefore, you will need to reduce your speed in unfavourable conditions, such as rain, fog, or snow.
#6 Watch for Wildlife.
Atlantic Canada has a lot of beautiful wildlife; however, these animals can cause havoc on our roadways. Over 45,000 non-fatal collisions with wildlife occur each year.
Most wildlife collisions occur between dawn and dusk in rural areas. So, be sure to watch your speed and scan the environment ahead.
#7 Establish a Reverse Parking Policy at your Office.
Reverse parking is significantly safer and prevents drivers from having to blindly back out of a parking spot.
Rear-end crashes are the most frequently occurring type of collision, accounting for almost 30% of all crashes.
Make your workplace as safe as it can be by preventing employees from driving head-on into a parking spot.
