Definitely. That is why my Sonata costs so much having to drive into the GTA with all those imported drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my 2017 grand touring Se with TD still (only vehicle I have there and it is just slightly over 600 a year with monthly install payments, full coverage with 1 million liability and collision and 500 deductibles all around, except theft and fire is 300 I believe. Atv is only 375 a year with farm broker going to ask about sled, when he comes by in a few weeks. Has full coverage too and 2 Million on atv. TD limit is 1 million.

XTC500 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 I learned a couple hard lessons about insurance over the years. Back when we were first married my wife drove a little Mazda GLC. She wasn't a well coordinated driver & in a period of a few months she rounded off 3 of the corners of that car in separate incidents. Cost was high enough that we put them through insurance. Our next insurance renewal, all with the Cooperators, her car insurance cost doubled (and rightly so) my truck & snowmobile insurance also went way up. (don't remember exactly how much) Since then I have made it a point to never have any of my vehicles insured with the same company. Of course loosing out on any multi discounts. Close to 20 years later my son needed a car to get to work. (just out of high school & living at home) Being the good dad we bought the car in my name and the insurance was in his name. My thinking was the car would get turned over to the next child eventually. Well my son had an accident or 2. Costing the insurance company some $$ & his rates went through the roof. A year later the boy moved to TO & didn't need the car so we sold it. About a year after that I get a call from the insurance company. Where is your son, does he drive, & who is his insurance carrier?? He didn't have a car or insurance in TO, so they informed me that because his previous car was in my name, the increased insurance rates that he would have been paying would be passed on to me. So my rates doubled. A few years after that I insured a new snowmobile in the fall of the year with TD. I think I did the transaction over the phone. They asked if any one else's name should be on the policy. (no charge to add the names) So I put the names of both my sons on the policy. No questions were asked. Later, when the snow was on the ground, approximately early January, I get a call from TD, stating that my son (the one I bought the car for) had multiple speeding tickets. Because this was not declared on the insurance application my snowmobile insurance was canceled. I tried to explain that my son does not necessarily disclose all his tickets to me and I didn't know. Didn't matter. So there I was scrambling in January to get sled insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All insurance companies want to know how many licensed drivers are in the household and who they are - namely - because of use and operation and consent, whether it be implied or not. The simple approach you could have taken is to add a 28A excluded driver end. to your snowmobile policy and be done with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets say you have a son or daughter that is driving but they have their own car and insurance, do you still have to mention them and potentially there bad records will affects your rates, even if they have always had their own policies and ownership, unless you add this 28A that sounds like it basically informs the Ins that under no circumstances will driver A or B listed on the 28A will use your vehicles?

Dealing with TD over the phone most non insurance employed people would not know about it. Can you please explain a little more about what the 28A actually does. Just as an aside, I tried calling TD insurance last Friday at 8:02 (2 minutes after they opened) to cancel my policy which was set to renew Nov. 9th. I was on hold for over 38 minutes and decided to hang up and mail the cancellation notice to them. I've had to be on hold for many companies but never for that long and with no updates. They must have got really busy in the first 2 minutes they were open. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is the link to the endorsement and details. I see them quite regularly on the claims side and actually check for them on every auto liability claim when we are assigned them. https://www.fsco.gov.on.ca/en/auto/forms/Documents/OAP-1-Application-and-Endorsement-Forms/1069E.pdf As for the customer service, it sounds terrible and I would not be happy about it either. Talk to a broker - they'll answer you're call and do the work for you. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they handled it poorly - firstly - you didn't "lie" about anything - if you don't know - you don't know - they can run an abstract and have it back in less than an hour and find out for themselves - they chose not too and/or possibly failed to ask the question. If the questions were: 1. How many drivers in the household - Answer - honestly 2. Who are the drivers - names - ages - relationship? 3. Will those drivers be driving the insured vehicles? If you failed to answer those honestly, then that's a different story. It's not reasonable for your know the driving history of everyone, household or not - I don't know if my own wife has tickets - she might? I don't know.... - so that's on them - you didn't lie about anything - and if you cared enough - you could take that up with the ombudsman - but I would say move along and if it's an issue anywhere else - either have him chip and pay the extra or get the 28A and he's on his own.

In your example - if your kid lives in THE SAME HOUSEHOLD and YOU KNOW they have a piss poor driving record - and they have their own car and insurance - then I would 100% add them as a 28A - excluded driver and save yourself the headache and premium - but of course - talk to a broker, but I would.

In past they had a max value that they wouldn’t go above, not sure if that is still case or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
