Frequently Asked Questions About Non-Standard Auto Insurance

What is non-standard auto insurance?

Non-standard auto insurance (also called “high-risk” or “malus” insurance) is for drivers who have a driving record or history deemed riskier by traditional insurance companies. This may include license suspensions, a criminal record, repeat accidents, serious infractions, or a history of non-payment of premiums. 

Why is my record considered “high risk”?

Insurers assess various factors to determine the risk associated with each driver: 

  • Number of at-fault accidents and previous claims
  • Traffic violations under the Highway Safety Code
  • Suspensions or license revocations issued by the SAAQ
  • History of non-payment or policy cancellations

If your record has several of these factors, you may be classified as “non-standard.” 

How do I find a non-standard auto insurer?

Many brokers and insurers specialize in this type of risk. One of the first steps to increase your chances of obtaining auto insurance with a non-standard profile is to complete a quote request on ClickInsurance. Our partners will be able to find a solution that lets you insure your vehicle. 

Will I pay a lot more compared to standard insurance?

Generally, yes. Non-standard drivers pay higher premiums because they’re seen as more likely to have a claim. Rates can vary greatly from one insurer to another, which is why it’s a good idea to shop around and compare multiple offers through the ClickInsurance comparison tool.

How can I improve my record and return to standard insurance?

To improve your record and eventually get better conditions: 

  • Follow the Highway Safety Code to avoid tickets and demerit points.
  • Avoid unnecessary claims: if possible, pay for minor damages yourself to keep your claims history clean.
  • Maintain a good payment history: make sure to pay your premiums on time.
  • Drive safely and rack up claim-free years. 

After a certain period without incidents, your risk profile may improve, potentially allowing you to switch to standard insurance. 

Does non-standard auto insurance cover damage to my vehicle?

Yes, if you add optional coverages such as collision, rollover, theft, etc. However, because of the higher risk, premiums and deductibles are generally more expensive. Be sure to review your policy details to understand the scope of your coverage. 

Can I still be refused by a non-standard insurer?

Yes. Even specialized insurers reserve the right to refuse coverage if a driver is deemed too high-risk (multiple criminal convictions, numerous serious infractions, etc.). 

In Conclusion

Non-standard auto insurance primarily aims to provide protection to drivers who, due to their record, are refused by traditional insurers. While premiums are higher and conditions may be stricter, this is often a temporary step. As you improve your record over time, you may eventually switch to a more affordable and less restrictive standard insurance policy.
