A new report finds Alberta drivers are paying much more to insure their vehicles, adding fuel to the fire of the opposition's suspicions that the government is gouging residents.

Ernst and Young to look into the issueThe report came out with 30 customer profiles of varying ages and driving experience and determined Alberta drivers pay far and above what other Canadians do to get behind the wheel.

One example from the study was an 18-year-old with two years driving experience, with a 2012 Honda Civic LX with no claims or convictions. While that individual would pay just $1,100 in Saskatchewan, an auto policy would cost him $5,900 in Alberta."They are hurting affordability for regular Albertans," Alberta NDP leader Rachel Notley said Monday.Premier Danielle Smith says her government will "take a look at what is happening."When the NDP was in charge, it instituted a cap on auto insurance premiums, but the UCP government removed it.

Ah yes, I remember when my insurance went down when Notley was running the show. LOL!

reid_henry conservatives voted for this, conservatives wanted this.

My car insurance is significantly cheaper in Alberta than it was in Ontario

I wouldn't mind to have government auto insurance just like Manitoba or BC..., private insurers are ripping people off

Anyone remember when JK said he’d get rid of photo radar. Anyone remember when the Auto dealers were the biggest contributors to the UCP..

Alberta drivers are worse drivers and love oil and gas that’s why they pay more. 🤣

Was fine until the UCP removed the NDP caps.

That's cause half of Ontario moved here and trust me Ontarians don't know how to drive .

UCP will make excuses.

The government doesn't decide how mucn your insurance costs.

Ucp only priority is anti Ottawa crap, not Albertans. Wasted 3 years

How about you compare the prices for a 30 year old driver!

😡😡😡😡😡😡
