"What are the car insurance laws and registration laws for vehicles in Canada? Inspection stations? Cost?

Troy Staton: What Province or Territory has the least mandates on car insurance or none?

Ramona Pago: It varies from a province to another. The difference might be huge. Let me know where exactly in Canada you're talking about so that I can provide you with a good answer.

Dick Maisenbacher: Each province has its own motor vehicle laws regarding insurance and inspection, and there can be a large difference in them. Perhaps even within a province. I live in BC. In urban areas, your car must be inspected for emissions. In rural areas, you don't need that. Yes, there are many malls in Canada, naturally the bigger the place the more there are, and there are just as many shops in Canada as any place in the world has for its population, including thrift shops.

Nona Lentini: Car registration is handled separately by each province/territory. The rules vary a fair bit from place to place. Several provinces (BC, Manitoba, not sure which others) has a combined reg! istration/government insurance policy.Normally, when you get your plate, you have to register yearly, and you get a sticker to put on your plate. Some places let you buy a 2 year sticker. Prices vary, but $50-75 per year would be typical. All vehicles must have at least PLPD insurance - that covers others in an accident. Most insurance here is "no fault" - an accident rarely involves lawsuits. Some provinces require inspections - Ontario requires an exhaust check every 2nd year for cars over a certain age. Some require a safety inspection when they are sold to someone else. In others (like Yukon), if your car actually makes it to the office (the liquor store in Dawson City!), you are pretty much good to go.All places require both registrations, and insurance to be able to put a vehicle on the road.There are malls everywhere! 85% of Canadians live in cities, and malls are a way of life here for most people. Yes, there are also thrift stores, again, all over the place...! .Show more

Christopher Calcano: Canada is a huge country! (larger than the US) made up of ten provinces and three territories. Each has its own car insurance laws, registration laws and inspection stations. If you would care to be a bit more specific, I would be pleased to help you.
