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.

Our Latest Advice
Do You Need Classic Car Insurance?
For many car enthusiasts, the idea of owning a classic car is enough to get their hearts racing. However, owning a classic car means taking a different approach to its care. Not all repair shops will know how to care for the engine; they may only be equipped for running diagnostics on today’s highly computerized cars.
If you are thinking about getting involved in the world of “old” cars, you should learn the various car classifications: antique, vintage and classic. Each class has its own meaning and mastering these is one of the most basic concepts of learning this hobby. While some of these classifications are open to interpretation and can vary, there are attempts to create conformity. In fact, in some cases there are state laws that regulate how these words are used. In other situations, there are definitions set by car collector groups.
Here are a few things to know before you buy:
Antique, Classic or Vintage?
While the terms antique, classic and vintage seem interchangeable, they are very separate designations. Antique cars, for example, are usually cars that are more than 45 years old and are maintained to keep the original manufacturer specifications.
Vintage cars may be antiques, and some antiques may be vintage – but that’s not always the case. Usually cars are considered vintage if they were manufactured between 1919 and 1930, though some classifications end the vintage designation at 1925. Learn more about the difference between vintage and classic cars here.
Classic cars must be at least 20 years old, but no older than 40 years old. As with antiques, cars should stay true to the original design – but those that are modified with aftermarket touches, may still qualify as a true classic car.
Classic Car Coverage
When it comes to insuring your classic, antique or vintage car, you will quickly find out it’s not the same as insuring the family car. If your car is a collectible, you’ll want to look into a policy designed specifically for collectibles. While your regular car is insured with the idea that it is depreciating in value almost immediately after you buy it, a classic or antique car may appreciate in value – particularly if you are planning to put work into restoring it.
Surprisingly, you may find the premium is lower on your classic or antique car, even though it might carry a higher replacement cost. That’s because collectibles such as classic, vintage and antique autos tend to spend more time in the garage than they spend on the road.
Depending on its designation, your car may be restricted for driving only at certain car club events, parades or other special occasions. When exploring coverage options, it is important to know if your car is mainly going to be used for shows rather than regular driving.
Since insurance rates can vary, make sure you talk with your agent about whether your car is antique, vintage or classic.
