What to do in Ontario
- Quote the exact year and trim with your Ontario address and driving record.
- If you finance or lease, your lender will require full coverage.
- Ask your credit union or insurer about GAP before buying it from the dealer.
- Compare at least two quotes; the same car can price very differently.
How it actually works
What an insurer is really pricing
A premium is an insurer's estimate of what it expects to pay out on your policy, plus costs. For a Ram ProMaster in Ontario, that estimate blends three things: the car (what it costs to repair or replace, and how often that model is claimed on), the place (local traffic, theft and repair costs), and you (driving record, coverage limits and deductible).
California doesn't allow insurers to use your credit score to set auto rates, so the driver part leans on your record, miles driven and years of experience.
Why GAP exists, in one picture
A new car loses value fastest in its first years, while a long loan pays down slowly. For a while the line for "what you owe" sits above the line for "what the car is worth." If the car is totaled in that window, insurance pays the value, not the loan — GAP covers the space between the lines. A big down payment or a short loan can close that gap on its own, which is why GAP is optional and worth pricing outside the dealer too.
The deductible trade-off
Raising your deductible lowers the premium because you're taking on the small claims yourself. It only pays off if you can comfortably cover that deductible in cash on a bad day. Get quotes at two deductible levels on the exact ProMaster and compare the yearly difference to the extra risk.

About the Ram ProMaster
ProMaster is Ram's answer for tradespeople, delivery fleets and van converters, and its front-wheel-drive layout is the reason to consider it: a lower, flatter load floor than the rear-wheel-drive Transit or Sprinter. That's a real, practical advantage for anyone in and out of the cargo area repeatedly, and it deserves to be weighed against the other two on that basis specifically.
Who it fits and who should skip it
- Delivery and trade businesses that load and unload frequently and value the lower step-in and floor height.
- Van converters (camper builds, mobile businesses) who want a flat, low floor to build on.
- Buyers who don't need all-wheel or rear-wheel drive traction for off-pavement or heavy snow use.
- Skip it if your work regularly involves dirt roads, job sites without pavement, or towing a trailer behind the van itself — the front-wheel-drive layout is a genuine limitation there compared to the Transit or Sprinter.
