What makes you a high-risk driver?
All drivers in Ontario (even high-risk ones) have a right to coverage. We can help you lower your rates through telematics and more. Here are some things that might make you a high-risk driver:
Three or more tickets
Two or more at-fault accidents
Being cancelled for non-payment
A serious conviction like a DUI or distracted driving
A license suspension
Being cancelled for lying
There are combinations as well. For example, one at-fault accident and two tickets might do it. Being under 25 or a new driver won’t make you high-risk by themselves, but they also don’t help.
What can you expect once you’re labelled high-risk?
Some companies will refuse to insure you, and others may quote you double or triple your old rate, depending on your record.
The good news is that there are insurers that specialize in high-risk auto insurance, and they will offer you the best possible rates given your record.
Saving on high-risk auto insurance may not be as easy as saving on a normal policy, but it’s still possible and we can help.

Good to know: Common questions about high-risk auto insurance
How much is high-risk insurance?
Your price will depend on your record, and high-risk insurance will almost always cost more than standard insurance. But instead of paying double or triple your regular premium, we might be able to limit the increase to 50%.
Will being high-risk affect my coverage?
The high-risk label also means that most insurance companies will limit the amount of coverage they offer. You won’t get accident forgiveness.
When will my premium come down?
Once you become a Mitch customer, we track when your tickets and at-fault accidents come off your record, and you can rest assured that we’ll place you with a regular market insurer as soon as we can.
- Tickets (even DUIs) stay on your record for three years
- Suspensions stay three years from the end of the suspension
- Cancellations stay for three years
- At-fault accidents usually stay for six years
