Ontario Home and Auto Insurance Bundling: Discounts, Savings & How It Works
Bundling your Ontario home and auto insurance typically saves 10-15%. Here's how multi-policy discounts work, what to compare, and when unbundling wins.
What 'bundling' actually means in Ontario
Bundling — sometimes called a multi-policy or multi-line discount — means placing your home and auto insurance with the same insurer (or the same broker's preferred carrier). Almost every major Ontario carrier offers a bundled rate, and the discount is applied to both policies, not just one.
The typical Ontario multi-policy discount ranges from 10% to 15%, though some carriers go as high as 20% when you add a third policy such as a tenant, condo, or umbrella liability policy.
Why insurers reward bundled customers
Customers who bundle stay longer, file fewer nuisance claims, and cost less to service. Insurers pass part of that saving back as a discount to keep the relationship sticky.
For you, bundling also means one renewal date, one broker, one claims contact, and — often — waived deductibles when a single event damages both your car and your home (for example, a hailstorm).
How to compare bundled vs. separate quotes
Always get two comparisons: (1) the best home-and-auto bundle from one insurer, and (2) the best standalone auto quote plus the best standalone home quote from two different insurers. Compare the total annual premium of each scenario.
In roughly 8 out of 10 Ontario cases, bundling wins. But in higher-risk auto territories like Brampton or Vaughan, a specialist auto carrier can beat a bundled rate even after the discount is applied to the home policy.
Bundling checklist before you switch
Confirm the discount percentage on both policies, verify replacement cost coverage on the home policy is not reduced to hit the bundle price, check that your auto coverage limits (liability, collision, comprehensive) match your current policy, and ask about the multi-policy claim-free deductible waiver.
A RIBO-licensed broker can run both the bundled and unbundled scenarios across 20+ Ontario carriers in one quote — that's the fastest way to know which structure actually saves you money.
