About New Brunswick Auto Insurance

New Brunswick operates a private insurance system regulated by FCNB. All drivers must carry minimum Third-Party Liability of CA$200,000. The mandatory coverage package includes Accident Benefits, Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Protection, and Direct Compensation-Property Damage (DCPD).

New Brunswick's FCNB has taken steps to increase carrier competition in 2025–2026, with new carrier approvals in under-served smaller markets. The province's Atlantic Canada climate exposure — particularly ice storms, fog, and heavy snow — continues to drive higher-than-average comprehensive claims frequency in coastal and inland markets alike.

New Brunswick operates a tort-based system where fault determination affects claims outcomes. The province has been working to modernise its rate regulation framework to increase carrier competition and reduce premiums.
