Important
We’re receiving a very high number of calls right now
To avoid the wait, you can file a claim, update your insurance and much more in your Online Services account.
Here are a few examples of when you should update your auto insurance information.
You add or remove a driver from your policy
Your kid is all grown up, has their licence and wants to use your car. Better call your insurance company first and have them added as a driver. If they get into an accident driving your car and they’re not on your policy, you will have trouble filing a claim. Basically, anyone who regularly or occasionally drives your car should be listed on your policy.
The same is true in reverse: don’t keep someone listed on your policy if they’re not driving your car anymore. It might actually be impacting your premium for nothing!
Tip: When you’re insured with us, you can add a driver directly from your Online Services account. Simple, quick and effective.
You’re adding or replacing a vehicle
You need to let your insurance company know right away if you get a new car. If you’re insured with us, you can do this yourself in Online Services so you get coverage as soon as possible.
You start using your car for work
If you start using your car as part of your professional life, you need to let your insurance company know what kind of business you’ll be using it for, where, how often (mileage) and when (time of day).
