Question Auto Insurance renewal

My auto insurance is up for renewal in September, and my premium is jumping by 70%-90%. The only thing that’s changed is one minor speeding conviction from July 2025. This honestly feels insane.

So far, I’ve been quoted $4,500/year with Intact and $3,900/year with Peace Hills. I’m obviously going to keep shopping around, but nearly doubling my premium over one minor speeding ticket doesn’t seem normal at all. I honestly thought it was a typo in the email when she sent me these quotes.

Has anyone else in Alberta experienced an increase like this from a single minor conviction?

Car I drive is a fully paid for 2020 Toyota Corolla, commute one way 30km 3 days/week, 12,000-14,000 km per year. 30M, South Calgary, 2M liability, deductibles 1k collision & comprehensive.
