Alberta’s Automobile Insurance Rate Board issued Bulletin 09-2026 on September 16, with industry benchmark schedules effective October 1, 2026. They cover private passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and motorcycles, following the board’s annual review of industry experience through December 31, 2025. Insurers preparing rate filings should use the applicable current schedule and distinguish the board’s benchmark assumptions from any particular driver’s premium or claim entitlement. This is a regulatory rate-setting update, not a change to insurance coverage.
