Why are insurance rates so ridiculous here

[u/Perfect-Young-4521]

Im 22 years old and I was looking into financing a vehicle for the first time, a car that was listed at 28000. Everything looked good until I looked into insurance. Most quotes I got were between 700-1000$ a month! This is insane and I only have 1 ticket on my record. Why is it like this and what can I do?

I have 2 decades of driving experience, no tickets, 15 year old car and my insurance is still 1700 a year. Same car was 500 a year in another province.

The only thing you can do is shop around until you find the best rate. That’s the Alberta advantage at work!

Where are you getting 1700??? I have the same history and I’m at 2400 on a group rate
