Who is considered a high-risk driver?

A driver will be labelled high-risk by an insurance company if they’re deemed more likely to file an auto insurance claim than the average driver. There are a number of factors that can land a person in this category, including:

Multiple speeding tickets
Multiple at - fault accidents
New Drivers to Canada
An impaired driving conviction
A careless driving conviction
License suspensions
Newly licensed drivers
A stunt driving conviction
Frequent auto insurance claims

In addition, a driver who has failed to pay previous insurance bills will also be considered high-risk.

Who needs high-risk car insurance?

High-risk auto insurance is generally the only type of insurance available to those who fall into the category of high-risk drivers. Often, people are forced to seek high-risk car insurance after their existing insurer refuses to renew their insurance or cancels their policy outright.

 

At Eisenhauer Insurance, we understand that a variety of individual factors and circumstances — and sometimes just plain bad luck — lead to a driver being labelled high-risk. We also believe that everyone deserves a second chance. If you’ve been labelled a high-risk driver, let our brokers use their years of experience to help you find an auto insurance policy that works for you.

How do you get out of the high-risk category?

The only way to get out of the high-risk category is to improve your driving record. In Nova Scotia, traffic tickets remain on a driver’s record for two years and at-fault accidents stay for six years. Once they’ve been expunged, however, insurance companies can no longer penalize drivers for previous infractions or accidents.

 

If you’ve been deemed a high-risk driver and want to get rid of this label, it’s crucial for you to avoid traffic convictions and causing accidents going forward.

Can high-risk auto insurance be affordable?

Since insurance companies consider high-risk drivers more likely to file a claim, their coverage tends to be pricey. However, there are ways that high-risk drivers can reduce their insurance expenses.

 

One option is to lower their premium in exchange for a higher deductible. They can also opt for minimal coverage that includes limited liability insurance and little to no comprehensive insurance.

 

However, an ideal option for high-risk drivers is to work with a dependable insurance company like Eisenhauer Insurance. Our brokers can help you find the best price for high-risk car insurance and offer expert advice on how to lower your monthly premium.
