We’re making updates as part of the continuing enhancement to our auto insurance offering in Ontario.
IRCA
We have made adjustments to our IRCA offering as a result of refined pricing segmentation initiatives to ensure that we continue to provide you and your customers with a competitive solution for their commercial auto needs.
As a result, you will see that many policies will decrease and some will increase, based on individual risk characteristics. The overall impact of these updates is +2.2% and is effective December 18, 2023 for new business and February 10, 2024 for renewals.
