No Surprises: Understanding All-In Vehicle Pricing In Ontario
We’ve all been there: you’re scrolling through car listings in Scarborough, you find a Nissan Kicks or Rogue at a price that seems too good to pass up. Suddenly, when you get to the dealership, the price grows. A "doc fee" here, a "security package" there, and before you know it, you’re looking at a completely different number.
At Morningside Nissan, we think that’s a terrible way to start a relationship.
In 2026, Ontario car buyers are more wary of hidden fees than ever before. That’s why we’ve built our business on an honest, all-in price philosophy. When you shop with us, the price you see is the price you pay—period.
What Exactly is OMVIC All-In Pricing?
In Ontario, the Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council (OMVIC) regulates how we advertise. The law is simple: when we advertise the price for a vehicle, that price must include every single fee we intend to charge, except for HST and licensing.
We don’t just follow this law because we have to; we do it because we value your time.
Our advertised "All-In Price" includes:
- Freight and PDI: The cost to ship the vehicle and perform the Pre-Delivery Inspection.
- Administration Fees: All the paperwork and processing costs.
- Air Conditioning Tax: The mandatory $100 federal levy.
- Tire Stewardship Fees: The Ontario environmental levies for tires.
- Installed Accessories: If the car on our lot has mudguards or wheel locks already on it, those are already in the price you see online.
The Only Extras: The only things we add to our advertised price are HST (13%) and the licensing fee (the actual cost of your plates and registration with the Ministry of Transportation).
Why Our "Out-The-Door" Price Builds Trust
We know that for many of our neighbours in the East GTA, buying a car is the second-largest purchase you’ll ever make. You deserve a transparent car-buying process.
When we talk about the "out-the-door price," we mean the final bottom line. By being upfront, we eliminate the stress of the "finance office surprise." This allows you to focus on what actually matters: whether the car fits your lifestyle, how it handles on the 401, and if the monthly payments truly fit your budget.
