Types of Auto Insurance Coverage
Types of Auto Insurance Coverage
Established by provincial and territorial governments, mandatory auto insurance is the minimum amount of coverage every vehicle owner must have. Additional auto insurance coverages you may consider include:
Collision
Specified perils
Comprehensive
All perils
Collision
Your vehicle flips over on the road and is damaged. You lose control of your vehicle on icy asphalt and hit a guardrail. This coverage pays for damage to your vehicle caused by upset or a collision with another object.
Specified Perils
Your vehicle is stolen and never recovered or recovered with substantial damage. Fire engulfs your next-door neighbour’s house, spreads to your garage and destroys your insured car or truck. Specified perils pays only for losses caused by perils specifically listed in your policy. These perils are:
Fire
Theft or attempted theft
Lightning
Hail
Rising water
Earthquake
Windstorm
An explosion, riot or civil disturbance
The falling or forced landing of aircraft or parts of aircraft
The stranding, sinking, burning, derailment or collision of any kind of transport in, or upon which, a described automobile is being carried on land or water
Comprehensive
High winds cause flying debris that damages your car. Vandals break into your garage and damage your truck. Comprehensive coverage includes all perils, except for collision, or upset of the automobile, or damage caused by theft by a person residing with your or who repair your car.
All Perils
If damage is caused while your vehicle was stolen by someone in your household or someone you’ve hired to drive your vehicle (e.g., an employee), with all perils, this would be covered.
