27th June 2021 – If you drive a car in Brampton, you must be aware of the high rates of auto-insurance in the City. You are probably seeing a yearly increase in the insurance rates despite your no-claim status from the past year. One of the reasons which insurance companies give you is your postal code.

Now, the City of Brampton is asking for a fair deal for auto insurance for Brampton drivers. Keeping in mind that auto-insurance makes a big hole in monthly budgets of Brampton families and the fact that Brampton drivers pay 123% higher costs than the province’s average, the City is requesting the Province of Ontario to expedite the auto-insurance rates reform in Ontario. In 2019, Bill 42 was introduced to Provincial Parliament to prohibit insurance companies from using postal codes as primary factor in setting insurance rates.
