Insurance In Etobicoke vs Scarborough
Hi there
Rates can vary substantially from one area to another. This is because the auto insurers keep detailed statistics of claims in each postal area (usually by the first 3-4 of 6 digits). Based on these statistics, they have determined that some areas have more claims than others and therefore they charge higher rates in those areas.
Hope that helps?
