The news is grim for Ontario’s car insurance consumers. For the second quarter in a row, kanetix.ca saw a year-over-year increase in the average of the lowest car insurance premiums quoted.
TORONTO,CANADA, Jan 28,2008--Today, kanetix (http://www.kanetix.ca), Canadas insurance marketplace, announced the results of their quarterly car insurance premium study and the news is going to dishearten car insurance consumers. The study showed that the rates quoted for car insurance have risen, on average 5.3 per cent.
By comparing the average of the lowest car insurance premiums quoted online for Ontario shoppers through http://www.kanetix.ca/car-insurance in Q4 2007—October, November and December—with the average from the same period in 2006, kanetix found that the average lowest price had increased by 5.3 per cent. This is significantly higher than the previous quarter, where a 1.5% increase was noted; a first since the studys inception.
"Whether or not two quarters, 6 months, makes it a trend is up for debate,” muses Gregory Ellis, Co-founder of kanetix.ca. “But it certainly suggests that auto insurance consumers should watch their renewal notices closely. The silver lining is that car insurance consumers have options in that they can easily shop around and get competing quotes to ensure they’re getting the best price.”
Even if your rates do not go up on your next renewal, by comparing quotes from competing companies every year, you will always know how your rates stack up to quotes from competing companies. At http://www.kanetix.ca/car-insurance, kanetix offers consumers a better and quicker way to shop for car insurance.
