Use total policy cost
Compare the amount due across the entire year, including deposits and scheduled payments, rather than the smallest monthly figure.
Deductibles change the equation
Higher deductible options may lower the premium but increase out-of-pocket costs when a claim is made.
Do not downgrade needed coverage
A less expensive product that fails to cover relevant medical risks or IRCC requirements can be a false economy.
