  1. The increased rates in Alberta might also be attributed to how people find favorable insurance rates in Alberta compared to that of Ontario. This might not be too much of a great impact for those planning to get car insurance coverage since the rates in Alberta are not as serious as it sounds. I’ve had my car covered by Surex in Alberta and the rates thus far are not something to cause worry or any concern about. Overall, Alberta would still be in a favorable spot for those seeking car insurance than that of Ontario. This was a great read. Thank you.
