The Toronto-Dominion Bank Group is a Toronto-based bank founded in 1955 when the Bank of Toronto (founded 1855) and The Dominion Bank (founded 1869) merged. TD Bank Group is the largest bank in Canada. TD introduced many innovations in banking to Toronto, including widespread locations, ease of access, and branches that remain open on the weekends to offer a full-range of banking products. In 2000, it merged with Canada Trust and shortly after, founded TD Insurance.

Premiums are calculated based on many factors, including the driving record and number of drivers on the policy; the make, model and year of the vehicle; annual mileage; and location of home and work. A recent study compared the cost of car insurance through TD in major Canadian cities for a 35-year old male residing in the downtown area of the city and driving a 2012 Honda Civic. The study found that Vaughan ($4,768 annually) and Hamilton ($3,947) had the highest quotes for car insurance; Montreal ($765) and Quebec ($613) had the lowest.

TD also offer many discounts, including if 2 or more vehicles are insured with TD; if there is a single driver listed on multi-car policies; if an occasional driver listed is a full-time student; if you bundle home and auto insurance; no accidents; an anti-theft device attached to the vehicle; if the vehicle is electric or hybrid; use of winter tires; if the driver is over 65.
