Reforms bring lower auto premiums for Alberta drivers
Alberta announces new auto insurance reforms with geographic grids and caps. Smaller centres like Medicine Hat see substantial savings up to 75 percent for new drivers while seasoned drivers gain about 5 percent. Young drivers benefit most as age prejudice fades, and an Auto Insurance Rate Board will guide annual rate limits. The plan, effective October, aims to save drivers about 200 million annually and may permit cross province competition in the future.
