February 19, 2007, Halifax, N.S. – The owners of 47,000 vehicles insured through the Aviva Canada group in Nova Scotia started paying lower automobile insurance rates as of February. Approval was received by the Nova Scotia Insurance Review Board for Aviva to reduce its rates for drivers in the Province, effective January 1, 2007, for new business and February 1, 2007, for renewals.
Overall, Aviva is reducing its rates by 11% for private passenger vehicles in Nova Scotia. The amount each policyholder receives will differ depending on policy, geographic and risk details. For example, rates in Halifax are decreasing, on average, by over 15%.
