Optional physical damage should be compared by peril and deductible
Collision and comprehensive protect against different causes of loss. Compare the actual deductible, exclusions, endorsements and vehicle value rather than treating them as one generic upgrade.
Territory is a rating input, not a citywide average premium
A statistical territory can influence a company's rating structure, but it does not justify publishing an invented St. John's or Corner Brook average without a defensible dataset.
Vehicle claims experience can change relative cost
CLEAR and vehicle rate-group updates help insurers reflect differences in claims cost among vehicles. Canada Rate Lab uses those signals to explain relative risk without turning a rate group into a made-up annual quote.
