Re: Car insurance

I had the same problem 3 years ago when I landed in Ottawa. The best quote I got for a new car was from Belair Direct. $1400 for a year. I've been with them ever since.

Sounds about the same price as mine, I pay $20 a month for $25,000 on contents. Not sure about my liability though.
