HOW TO BUY A POLICY
VEHICLE
- If your vehicle is used outside of Quebec, for more than 7 consecutive weeks, you must notify your insurance broker prior to departure.
- Ask
your Broker how much you'll save with an anti-ignition alarm system
installed in your vehicle.
- Ask
your Broker if you have a "Loss of Use Endorsement". This endorsement
will compensate you for a rental vehicle, up to a certain limit, should
your vehicle require repairs following an accident that is covered under
your policy.
- You
can add an endorsement to your automobile insurance policy, for a small
fee, which will cover you when operating a non-owned automobile, such
as a rental vehicle. Rental companies will charge you between $15 and
$20 a day for the same coverage.
- The
above mentioned optional endorsements are also available in one package
at a very reasonable premium.
- When
you purchase a new vehicle, request information on Replacement Value
options from your Broker and car dealer.
- When
you plan to travel outside the Province, verify with your broker that
you are insured for damage to your vehicle, should you have a non-responsible
accident.

RESIDENTIAL
- Enquire
about a water damage endorsement, if you do not already have one on
your residential policy.
- Verify
that your current policy covers you against lost caused by collapse
due to weight of ice or snow. Most Broad Form policies include this
coverage. However, it is excluded on most Standard Forms.
- Above
ground swimming pools must be added to your policy in order to be covered.
- Other
optional coverages include: guaranteed replacement cost on dwellings,
earthquake, reduced deductible for glass breakage, boats and motors
and fair rental value for landlords.
- Ultra
Option - enhanced internal limits endorsement.
- Scheduled
Articles: bicycles, cameras, C.B. radios and cellular phones, coins
collections, contact lens, firearms, hearing aids, musical instruments,
silverware, goldware and pewterware, stamp collections, jewellery and
furs.
IMPORTANT - 80% CO-INSURANCE CLAUSE
This clause states that you are required to be insured to at least 80%
of the actual replacement value of your dwelling. If you are not insured
to at least 80% and you sustain a partial loss, you will share in the
loss to the proportion that you are insured to value. In the event of
a total loss the limit on the policy applies.

COMMERCIAL
- Commercial
policy rates often fluctuate. Therefore, we recommend that you verify
your rates every 2-3 years.
- Does your present
policy cover you for loss of revenu? This optional coverage will compensate
you if your business is temporarily closed due to an insured loss.
