Mandatory auto insurance coverage
While insurance plans vary by province, here are the most common types of coverage you must have:
Liability
If you are involved in a collision and are held legally liable for other people’s injuries, or for damage to another person’s vehicle or property, your insurance company will pay up to the total amount listed on your policy.
Accident Benefits
This covers medical expenses not covered by a provincial health plan, plus loss of income as the result of a collision. In some provinces, you may be entitled to additional benefits if you are someone's caregiver. Not available in Quebec.
Uninsured Automobile
This coverage protects you and your family if you are injured or killed by a hit-and-run driver or an uninsured motorist. It also covers damage to your vehicle caused by an uninsured driver. Coverage is not available in Quebec. Vehicle damage is not covered in Alberta, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.
Direct Compensation Property Damage
This covers the cost of loss or damage to your car in a collision for which you were not entirely responsible. Available in Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
Top up your coverage
You may want additional coverage to be sure you’re fully protected in case of a theft or damage. Here are some coverage options to consider:
Collision
You are covered for the cost of repairs or the actual cash value of your vehicle in the event of a collision subject to your deductible.
Specified Perils
This covers you for specific perils such as fire, lightning, theft*, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion, riot, and more.
Comprehensive
You are covered for losses to your vehicle other than those covered by Collision. Some examples include vandalism, falling or flying objects, and theft.*
*Comprehensive and Specified Perils do not insure your car against theft if a member of your household steals your car, or if an employee whose job involved using or maintaining the car steals your vehicle.
All Perils
All Perils combines Collision and Comprehensive coverage and protects your vehicle against theft by a person who lives in your household or an employee.
Get additional optional coverage
For extra protection, add the following to your insurance policy:
Accident Protection
If you qualify, the first collision on your policy won’t affect your insurance rates. In Quebec, this coverage is included in the provincial coverage plan, but not available separately.
Loss of Use
If your vehicle is damaged in a collision, stolen or destroyed, this endorsement covers the costs of temporary transportation, such as renting a vehicle or taking a bus.
Legal Liability for Damage to Non-owned Automobiles
This endorsement may cover you if you damage a vehicle you don’t own while it was in your care and control, such as a rental vehicle.
Family Protection
Receive additional benefits if you’re involved in a collision with a driver who doesn’t have enough coverage to pay a claim for injury or death.
Limited Waiver of Depreciation
This coverage protects against the loss of value or depreciation of a new vehicle if, as a result of a collision, your vehicle is beyond repair and must be replaced. This coverage is available up to the first five years of a vehicle lease or ownership.
Additional coverage
You can also buy insurance for a stereo or other components installed in your vehicle.
