What is 5-Year New Vehicle Protection coverage?

Recommended if you have a new vehicle

This coverage protects your vehicle against depreciation for up to 5 years.

  • In the event of a total loss, your vehicle will be replaced with a new vehicle with the same specifications and equipment
  • In the event of a partial loss, your vehicle will be repaired with new parts

What is Liability for Damage to Non-Owned Automobiles coverage?
(Endorsement 27)

Recommended if you often rent a car when you travel

Provides coverage in the event that you damage a short-term rental or borrowed automobile anywhere in Canada or the United States.

  • Rental vehicle must be for personal use
  • Check your insurance policy to find out if you have this coverage. If you do, you won't need the additional insurance offered by the rental company.
  • Depending on the type of vehicle you rent, you may not need the insurance offered by the rental company
  • This coverage is included in the Worry-Free Option™

For example, if you rent a vehicle for a short trip and hit a tree, you’ll be covered for the damage caused to the vehicle.

What if you damage someone else’s property?

The Liability coverage included in your auto insurance policy covers damage to other people’s property.

Planning a trip to South America?

Your auto insurance policy doesn’t cover you when you travel outside Canada or the United States. However, you may have coverage through your credit card. Find out!

  • Taxi or public transit fare while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced following loss or damage covered by your policy
  • This coverage is included in the Worry-Free Option™
