# Can I Get Car Insurance With a Non-Standard License?

**Short Answer**

Yep — even if you’ve got a higher-class license (like Class 1 for trucks, or Class 2–4 for buses and commercial vehicles), you’re still covered to drive a regular car. That’s because those licenses automatically include **General Class** **passenger privileges** for your province.

**What to Do on Insurance Forms**

When you’re filling out an auto insurance form and it asks for your license class:

* Select **Class 5** (for Alberta) or the **equivalent passenger class** in your province.
* If the form asks for GDL stage dates (learner, probationary, full), just use the **same full-license date** across all three — higher-class licenses don’t show separate GDL stage dates.

**Alberta Example**

* **You have a Class 1 license** (transport truck).
* This automatically includes **Class 5** (passenger vehicle).
* On the form, pick **Class 5**.
* Enter your **full-license date** in all the date boxes.

**Other Provinces (Quick Reference)**

* **Ontario** → G1, G2, G for cars. A–F for commercial. Pick **G**.
* **BC, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Quebec, Atlantic provinces** → Class 5 for cars, Class 1–4 for commercial. Pick **Class 5**.

**Pro Tip**

Can’t remember the date you got your full license? That’s normal.

* Give your **best guess**, but make sure the **year is correct**.
* Or request a **driver’s abstract** from your province’s licensing office to get the exact date.

**Bottom Line**

If you’ve got a commercial license, you can totally insure your car. Just pick your **passenger license class (G or 5)** and use the same full-license date across the stages.
