A poor driving record can lead to the cancellation of your car insurance policy due to \u201cincreased risk\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding a new insurer can then become a difficult and expensive task. You might have to turn to an insurer that specializes in \u201cnon-standard\u201d cases, which often results in higher premiums and limited coverage.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you having trouble insuring your vehicle? <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/\">Assurance Multi-Risques<\/a> is here to answer your questions and help you find <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/personal\/vehicle\/car\/\">car insurance<\/a> despite a complex profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is a High-Risk Driver?\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A high-risk driver is someone who is considered by an insurer to be at a greater risk of accidents or violations. This can be due to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/tips-and-advice\/insurance-and-criminal-records-how-to-avoid-being-refused\/\"><strong>A criminal record<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Including a history of drunk driving or hit-and-run offenses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/tips-and-advice\/frequent-claims\/\"><strong>Too many claims<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Multiple claims, even for minor incidents, can label you as high-risk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/tips-and-advice\/does-your-credit-score-affect-your-insurance-premiums\/\"><strong>Poor credit history<\/strong><\/a><strong>:<\/strong> Insurers have found that people with below-average credit ratings are more likely to make a claim.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A licence suspension:<\/strong> For speeding, <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/tips-and-advice\/impaired-driving-criminal-record-and-automobile-insurance\/\">impaired driving<\/a>, or unpaid fines.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Termination of insurance:<\/strong> For <a href=\"https:\/\/multi-risques.com\/en\/tips-and-advice\/insurance-cancellation-insurer-consequences-interruption\/\">non-payment of premiums<\/a> or false declarations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, each insurer has its own criteria and definitions of what constitutes a high-risk driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Impact on Your Insurance Premium<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your history can have a significant financial impact on the calculation of your premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High-risk drivers are considered more likely to make a claim in the event of an accident or offense. To compensate for this risk, your insurance premium increases and will be higher than that of a driver with a standard profile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce your premium, you can opt for basic coverage, such as civil liability insurance, rather than all risk insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Get Insured Despite a Complex Profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your driving history, your driving behavior, and your financial difficulties have a direct impact on your insurance file. It can be more difficult to get insured with a high-risk profile, but there are always solutions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Transparent<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is crucial to always be transparent with your insurer or damage insurance broker. Provide complete and honest information regarding your driving record, criminal record, and the reasons for your insurance difficulties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Omitting important information can lead to the cancellation of your contract or a denial of claim in the event of a loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paying a slightly higher premium for valid insurance is better than having low-cost insurance that does not protect you when you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare Your File<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be ready to provide all necessary documents to your insurer so they can properly assess your situation. If necessary, request your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec.ca\/en\/justice-and-civil-status\/services\/consult-court-record\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">criminal record with a selective index<\/a> from the courthouse or have a copy of your <a href=\"https:\/\/saaq.gouv.qc.ca\/en\/drivers-licences\/driving-record-request\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">SAAQ driving record<\/a> ready.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adopt Responsible Driving Habits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Restoring your image with insurers requires time, patience, and clean driving. Some serious offenses can remain on your record for several years, so respect the Highway Safety Code, avoid speeding, and drive carefully. Most importantly, avoid worsening your situation with new infractions on your record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good behavior on the road will allow you to gradually regain a good driver profile. After a period without incidents, you will be able to renegotiate the terms of your insurance contract or reduce your premiums.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to Do If You Still Aren\u2019t Insured?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact a Specialized Insurance Broker<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At AMR, our independent brokers are experienced in working with insurers who accept high-risk profiles.
