Accident Benefits
Provides benefits if you are injured or killed in an accident anywhere in Canada and the United States regardless of who caused it.
Learn more about the importance of Accident Benefits.
Uninsured Auto
Protects you if you are injured or killed by an uninsured motorist or hit-and-run driver to the extent you were not at fault.
Direct Compensation Property Damage (DCPD)
To the extent that you are not at fault in an accident with another vehicle, your own insurer will pay for damage to your vehicle and its contents. There are options to increase the deductible to save money.
Bodily Injury and Property Damage
Physical injury and damage to property as a result of a car collision.

OPCF 44
Protects you, or an eligible family member, to the same limits as your Liability coverage if you are involved in an accident where you are not at fault, with someone who carries less or no insurance, or is unidentified (e.g. a hit and run)
OPCF 20
Covers the cost of a rental vehicle while your vehicle is being repaired, if the damage or loss is caused by a peril for which you are insured.
OPCF 27
Provides physical damage coverage (subject to a deductible) to vehicles that you may operate but do not own – such as a vehicle you have rented or borrowed.
OPCF 43
Removes the insurer’s right to deduct depreciation from the value of your vehicle when settling a claim for loss or damage for which you are insured.
Keep in Mind
While the above coverages are not required, if you owe money on your vehicle your lienholder/lessor may require you to have collision and comprehensive coverage to protect their interest in the vehicle.
Your Other Vehicles
Your ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles have the same coverage options as your automobile.
Claims Foregiveness
Your first claim is treated as if it never happened. You will keep your claims-free discount as long as you stay with your current insurance company.
Minor Conviction Protection
Protect your good driving record. By having your first minor conviction forgiven, it will not raise your insurance premium upon renewal.
