Example Calculation
Let's calculate an example monthly premium for a driver in Ontario:
For a $30,000 vehicle with comprehensive coverage, a 30-year-old driver with 5 years of experience and a good driving record:
- Vehicle Value: $30,000
- Coverage Factor: 1.2 (comprehensive)
- Age Factor: 1.1 (30 years old)
- Driving Record Factor: 0.9 (good record)
