Quick answer
In Ontario, 60 people were killed or injured with a drinking driver aged 21 to 34 and 75 hit-and-run fatal or injury collisions were recorded in 2023 (OTS). Ontario drivers are priced on their record, mileage, vehicle and coverage choices, and different carriers price the same driver very differently — which is why we compare, and why the free two-minute quote is the only number that is actually yours.

Not insurance rates or quotes.
An SR-22 is not a type of insurance. It is a certificate your carrier files with the California DMV proving you carry at least state-minimum liability, usually required after a suspension, a DUI, too many points or an at-fault accident while uninsured. Auto World writes the policy and sends the filing for Ontario drivers.
Ontario & San Bernardino County
27 cyclists were killed or injured on Ontario streets that year, and a cyclist injury is a liability claim long before it is anything else. 89 fatal or injury collisions in Ontario happened between 9pm and 3am, the hours when a single bad decision can become a claim and a conviction at once. 4% of Ontario households do not have a vehicle at all, which is one reason non-owner and named-operator policies come up here. 33.4% of households here keep three or more vehicles, so who drives which car is a question worth settling on the application in Ontario. The average one-way commute in Ontario runs about 32 minutes, and mileage is one of the few rating factors you can actually change. 15.5% of Ontario commuters spend an hour or more getting to work each way, which is a different risk picture from a short local drive.
