Many high-risk drivers wonder if insurance companies can refuse to provide them with auto insurance in Halifax. Unfortunately, the answer is yes.
Drivers who find themselves labelled as "high-risk" often also find that their insurance company refuses to renew their policy and that other insurance companies refuse to provide them with new coverage. At Eisenhauer Insurance Inc., we provide high-risk car insurance in Nova Scotia, and we feel that it's important for drivers to know why they may be considered "high-risk," as well as how they can find car insurance that is right for them. What is a High-Risk Driver? There are many reasons why a driver may have a "high-risk" designation. It can often result from receiving multiple traffic tickets or from getting one's license suspended. Other times, a high-risk driver may be someone who has gotten into too many accidents and has had to make frequent claims. This is often the case with new drivers who do not have enough experience behind the wheel. An impaired-driving record can also lead to a driver becoming "high-risk."
