Compare auto insurance across 26 Alberta cities. Provincial average: CA$150/month (CA$1,800/year). Insurance system: private. Regulator: AIC.
Alberta operates a private insurance system regulated by AIC. All drivers must carry minimum Third-Party Liability of CA$200,000. The mandatory coverage package includes Accident Benefits, Standard Accident Benefits, and SEF 44 (Family Protection Endorsement).
Alberta's 2024 premium cap of 7.5% per annual renewal period limits carrier increases but does not prevent increases entirely. The provincial government has committed to a no-fault system transition by 2027 — a move that will significantly change how injury claims are compensated and how rates are calculated. Drivers seeking competitive rates should comparison shop before the transition takes full effect.
