Since 2020, auto insurance companies in Alberta have taken in over
$2.9 BILLION
in pre-tax profit!
Alberta auto insurance premiums are designed to target a 7% profit for insurance companies. But insurers have been regularly exceeding that without consequences.
In 2021 alone, profits in the insurance industry were $1.1 billion over the target. And yet driver premiums remain high.
Had a 7% premium profit cap been applied since 2020, a typical Alberta household would have saved the following in premiums:
- $378 in 2020
- $691 in 2021
- $161 (at least) in 2022

It’s time that regulators in Alberta put in place more consumer protections to regulate the insurance industry and create a FAIR balance between insurer profits and affordable auto insurance premiums.

Affordability and cost of living increases are key issues facing Alberta families. Large premium increases for auto insurance are one more strain on many Albertans who continue to struggle with the ongoing affordability crisis.
FAIR believes regulators should make the 7% profit target on premiums real and legislate that profits on policies cannot exceed this benchmark. Any extra profits could be paid into a fund to protect Albertans from large increases in future years.
