Get reliable car insurance coverage tailored to you with Brokerlink.
As a disabled driver, your vehicle is more than just transportation; it’s your independence. Whether you drive a modified car or use specialized equipment, having the right car insurance is key to staying protected on the road. That’s where BrokerLink comes in. We’ll help you find a policy that fits your unique needs and budget as a driver with disabilities.
BrokerLink compares rates from a wide range of providers, ensuring you get the best deals available.
If you’re a driver with a physical or mental disability, you’ll want car insurance that covers any modifications to your vehicle and any specialized equipment you might need to transport.
According to the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) Canada, insurance companies can’t deny you coverage just because you have a disability, and they can’t charge you extra without a valid reason. That said, you'll likely need higher coverage limits to ensure that your policy will cover the cost of repairing or replacing your modified vehicle.
That’s where car insurance for disabled drivers comes in. It’s designed to give you the coverage you need to drive safely and legally, just like any other driver.
Car insurance is required in Canada, no matter who is behind the wheel. However, the coverage you need depends on where you live in Canada, since insurance rules vary by province.
Regardless of your location, all drivers are required to have third-party liability insurance; however, the minimum liability limits vary by province. Accident benefits coverage is also required in almost every province and territory.
Many provinces also require uninsured motorist coverage. And if you’re in a no-fault insurance province like Alberta or Nova Scotia, you may need direct compensation-property damage coverage as well.
When you buy car insurance as a driver with a disability, you're paying for coverage that protects both you and your adapted vehicle. Whether you choose basic coverage or a more comprehensive plan depends on your province and any additional protections you may need. Here are some of the most common coverage options available in a disability car insurance policy:
Third-party liability coverage
Accident benefits coverage
Uninsured motorist coverage
Direct compensation-property damage coverage
Collision coverage
Comprehensive coverage
Accident forgiveness coverage
Waiver of depreciation
Loss of use coverage
Third-party liability coverage protects you if you're found responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property in an accident. This coverage helps with medical bills, vehicle repairs, legal fees, and court costs.
If you, your passengers, or even a pedestrian need medical care after a collision, this coverage helps with medical expenses, rehabilitation, and lost income, no matter who was at fault.
If you're hit by a driver without insurance, an underinsured driver, or involved in a hit-and-run, this coverage helps protect you and your passengers.
If you're in an accident that wasn’t your fault, this coverage helps cover repair costs for your vehicle by going through your own insurer instead of dealing with the other driver's insurance.
If you're in an accident or hit an object like a pole or tree, collision coverage helps pay for repairs or replacement. Given the high cost of vehicle conversion for accessibility, this coverage can be very helpful.
Comprehensive coverage protects your vehicle against risks beyond collisions, such as theft, vandalism, fire, and weather damage. This is another optional coverage that can be very beneficial for drivers with disabilities.
Accident forgiveness helps protect your driving record and prevent your insurance premiums from increasing if you have an at-fault accident claim.
If you're buying a new car, adding this coverage to your policy is worth considering. It ensures you're covered for the full value of your vehicle without factoring in depreciation. That means if your car is stolen or totalled, you'll be reimbursed for the cost of a brand-new vehicle—not just what it's worth after wear and tear.
If you ever get into an accident and your car needs repairs, loss of use coverage has your back. While your car is in the shop, this coverage helps pay for other ways to get around—whether that's hopping on public transit, using ride shares, or renting a car. It can be a real lifesaver, especially if your car ends up being out of commission for days or even weeks.

At BrokerLink, we understand that insuring a modified or adapted vehicle shouldn’t cost a fortune. That’s why our expert insurance advisors have gathered some valuable tips to help disabled drivers save on their car insurance premiums.
Do you have home or tenant insurance? Or maybe you share a household with another vehicle and a primary driver? If so, consider bundling your car insurance with another policy. It can be a great way to save as many insurers offer discounts when you combine multiple policies.
Driving safely isn’t just good for keeping the roads safe—it’s good for your wallet, too! The fewer tickets, demerit points, and accident claims on your record, the more you’ll save on insurance in the long run.
Living in a high-theft area can raise your insurance rates, but adding anti-theft devices can help lower them. Some cars are bigger targets for theft, so taking extra precautions, like installing security cameras where you park, can also work in your favour.
If you’re in a province with a private insurance system, one of the best ways to save on your disability car insurance is to shop around. Getting quotes from different providers can help you find the right coverage at the best price. Each insurer determines premiums differently, so you should always get several quotes before you decide.
Your deductible is what you pay out of pocket before your insurance covers the rest. Raising it means you’ll take on more of the cost if you ever file a claim, but it can also lower your monthly premiums.
Insurance providers offer a variety of discounts for drivers, so make sure you're taking advantage of whatever ones you can, like discounts for installing safety features like dash cams and winter tires, belonging to certain groups or memberships, seniors discounts, and more.
When it comes to disability car insurance, insurance companies calculate your premium based on several factors. While every insurance company has its own formula, most will consider things like:
