Whether your auto insurance renewal is around the corner, or just want to familiarize yourself with the process, this blog is for you! Renewing your insurance or making changes to your policy on time is not only a matter of legal compliance but also a critical step in protecting yourself, your loved ones, and your vehicle on the road. Let’s explore auto insurance renewal in Saskatchewan with MySGI.
What is MySGI?
First things first, let’s talk about MySGI. This is a digital tool in your insurance management kit. It’s a platform provided by SGI (Saskatchewan Government Insurance) that lets you handle your auto insurance needs at the click of a button. On the MySGI platform, you have access to services you’ve previously accessed with Westland Insurance.
How to get a MySGI account
If you’re not already signed up, your first step is registering your email. Connect with our team if you have questions or need help registering, all you need is a Sask. driver’s licence or SGI insurance policy. An activation code will be sent to your email, and you can then use it on the MySGI page to register your account. Then you’ll follow the steps they give to set everything up. If you need extra help, our team would be happy to guide you through the process.
Steps to renew vehicle plate insurance with MySGI
1. Log in to MySGI
Enter your MySGI account by visiting MySGI. Sign into your account to start your renewal process.
2. Locating the renewal section
Navigate to the Renewals section. If you have multiple vehicles under your account, you’ll find each listed in your renewal section. Select “My Vehicles” on the top menu bar then click “Renew my registration” to view any vehicles due for renewal.
If you would like to see all your vehicles select “View my vehicles” under that same “My Vehicles” section. Any vehicles due for renewal will also display on the home page under the “Notification Centre”.
3. Registration eligibility
Through the MySGI portal, you’ll answer eligibility questions that relate to the vehicles eligibility to be registered and insured in Saskatchewan. The plate registration comes with basic insurance of a $700 deductible and $200,000 Third Party Liability. All lower deductibles and extra coverage are sold on a separate auto extension policy.
If you have an SGI Canada Auto policy in place already you will be able to view that on your “My Policy” section of My SGI, but if it’s with a different company you will need to contact your Westland insurance advisor to review.
