Just read an interesting stat this morning. Auto claims in CA have fallen around 70% for the 4 weeks of the lock down saving the insurance companies over a Billion in claims.
I'm with Allstate and they just announced that they are refunding a total of $600 million in auto insurance premiums. It will be interesting to see what the actual amount per person is. With some quick back of the napkin math I would think its around 20-25% of my monthly premium.
Never though I would get anything back from an insurance company... LOL

i don't know, insurance companies have such bad reps that i am inclined to think that, yes, they may do something in terms or refunds of premiums, but part of me thinks it would all just be a PR stunt and they will want to recoup those refund over the next few years once things get back to normal.
Same as for oil/gas... yeah we're paying 0.70-0.80 a liter right now, but i have a sneaky feeling we'll be paying close to $2 a liter come end of year....
whatever,
I called TD and discussed our changed driving habits (obviously much less since the vehicle isn't being used for work any longer), they reduced my premium by $70.
what a scam.

I am of the same mindset. I think there will be a lot of price hikes and blame on COVID-19...then it will become new norm and prices won't go down, same as usual Canadian taking it up the behind.
Ha, Ha. Waiting with baited breath. I was thinking I could take my wife out for a few drinks but you can't get out...
Did you see the news clip where a reporter wanted to ask Fauci a question and Trump wouldn't let him answer? Bull**** baffles brains.
That would be a non-essential trip. Just sayin'
I'm talking about in the future.
Easy solution to the blockades. Just pass the stalled bills in the various legislatures that the conservatives were pushing for.

Insurance offered 15% discount from March 16-April 30 to be applied to May's payment.
One time discount works out to less than $30. Not much, but it's something.
If they keep it rolling throughout the year, it could be significant enough, I guess. But I'm not holding my breath.

For insurance and couples with two vehicles....you can always drop one down to fire and theft and leave it parked for the duration. Adding liability back on is just a phone call away when it comes time...
I thought about it, but I don't want my wife driving around crashing my car into stuff.

I've got the kids during the day while my wife is at work. Not really interested in the uninsured rush to the hospital in the odd chance it is required. Drive my car once a week to keep it from seizing up. Kind of crappy that insurance is full pop for that usage cycle.For insurance and couples with two vehicles....you can always drop one down to fire and theft and leave it parked for the duration.

I pay out as dividends so I am not eligible for JT's CEBA. I'm ok with that. My choice, my problem.
I was shocked when I read it but very happy. Let’s see if anyone else follows suit.I like it.
