Car insurance in New Brunswick: what is compulsory and where to buy it

How car insurance works in New Brunswick: public or private model, the compulsory coverage and the proof you need to register a vehicle, from the official pages.

Compulsory insurance and where to buy it

Private insurance, compulsory: every registered vehicle must be insured, with a $200,000 minimum liability, accident benefits (no-fault, paid by your own insurer) and uninsured/unidentified automobile coverage. Service New Brunswick will not register a vehicle without evidence of a policy, and you must carry your liability insurance card.

Minimum liability limits are the legal floor: most drivers buy more. Some figures come from older handbooks or archived copies of the law, as noted: confirm with the registry or regulator before relying on them. Your premium depends on your record, vehicle and territory, and shopping around is allowed where insurance is private. Rules, fees and programs change and were read on 2026-11-14: confirm with the official source. General information, not legal advice. Quebec follows its own rules: see atlasquebec.ca.
