Open ProvincesCar insurance in Yukon: what is compulsory and where to buy it
How car insurance works in Yukon: 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: auto insurance is mandatory and bought from a private insurer, not the government. To register a vehicle at a Motor Vehicles office you must bring proof of valid insurance. We could not read the general minimum liability limit (the Motor Vehicles Act has a minimum liability insurance provision, s. 72): ask Motor Vehicles or your insurer.

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.
