| Question about car insurance
Long story short, my boss is moving offices to somewhere close to a skytrain station, and we have a semi-spare car that's already insured at a cheaper rate. I have been driving to work daily, but my insurance discount rate is only at 25%. I'm thinking of just taking the skytrain to work since it's so convenient and using our other spare car to drive to other places so I can cancel my car insurance to save some $$
Problem is that my car is always parked outside the house in the street. Is there some sort of insurance I can buy just to be insured for theft?

You can buy a storage permit, that covers comprehensive/collision but only if your car is on private property. You cannot leave it on the street.

Can it be stored in a open-faced garage? or in fact parked behind the garage?

Storage insurance comes with basic $200,000 third party liability. You can add Specified Perils to cover Fire and Theft.
If you want Fire, Theft and Vandalism, get the Comprehensive coverage for a few bucks more.

Its not too expensive. Like $10/ mth for storage, if that.

This is the problem. I have no option but to leave it out in the streets.
