Nova Scotia's Best
Insurance Rates.
Compare in 2 Minutes.

Your rate is influenced by your driving history, vehicle make and model, annual mileage, where you live in Nova Scotia, your age, and prior insurance cancellations. Nova Scotia uses a merit-based system, so a clean record can earn you significant discounts.

Yes. All drivers in Nova Scotia must carry a minimum of $500,000 in third-party liability coverage. Driving uninsured is illegal and can result in fines, licence suspension, and personal financial liability.

Liability-only covers damage or injury you cause to others. Full coverage adds comprehensive (theft, weather, fire) and collision (damage to your own vehicle in an accident) on top of liability. If you have a car loan or lease, your lender typically requires full coverage.

Bundle your auto and home insurance, maintain a clean driving record, complete a defensive driving course, increase your deductible, and shop around using a comparison tool like NovaQuote. Even small changes can save hundreds per year.

Ensure everyone is safe and call 911 if there are injuries. Exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver. Document the scene with photos. Report the accident to your insurer within 24 hours, even if you weren't at fault.

A standard policy covers your dwelling (the physical structure), personal property (contents), additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable, and personal liability if someone is injured on your property. It typically covers fire, theft, wind, and certain water damage.

Standard home insurance in Nova Scotia does not automatically cover overland flood damage. However, many insurers now offer overland water protection as an add-on. Ask your broker whether your property is at risk and if this endorsement is available in your area.

Insurers look at your home's replacement cost, age and type of construction, location, heating system (oil tanks can raise rates), your claims history, and your deductible. An oil-heated home with an older tank typically costs more to insure than one with electric heat.

Your landlord's insurance covers the building itself, not your personal belongings or liability. Tenant insurance (renter's insurance) is affordable and protects your contents against theft, fire, and water damage. Many landlords in Nova Scotia now require proof of tenant insurance.

Bundle with your auto policy for a multi-line discount, install a monitored alarm system, update older plumbing and electrical, replace an aging oil tank, increase your deductible, and compare quotes across multiple insurers using NovaQuote.
