In reference to automobile insurance, there are many different rate classifications that exist. Insurance Companies rate and subsequently charge a premium based on how your vehicle is being used. The more frequent the vehicle is being driven or used, the higher the premium charged to account for the increased exposure and possibility of a claim.
Although there is some variation in class definitions among Alberta automobile Insurers, there are many that are considered to be standard. We thought that it would be beneficial to define some of the most common:
Class 01 – Pleasure Use
– Principal operator must be 25 years of age, or older
– The vehicle may not be used for professional or vocational purposes
– The vehicle may have only two drivers, excluding Occasional Drivers
– Each driver must be licenced for a minimum of three years
– The vehicle may not be driven to work
– The vehicle may be driven a maximum of 16,000km per year
Class 02 – Commuting/Pleasure
– Principal operator must be 25 years of age, or older
– The vehicle may have only two drivers, excluding Occasional Drivers
– The vehicle may be driven a maximum of 25km to work, one way
Class 03 – Commuting/Pleasure
– Principal operator must be 25 years of age, or older
– Business use for dentists, doctors, lawyers or professional engineers
– No drivers under 25 years of age unless a separate Occasional Driver premium is charged
– This classification is also used in the event there are more than two drivers over 25 years of age, or if the vehicle is driven to work more than 25km one way
Class 05 – Occasional Driver (Female)
