Value Found in a Standard PC Car Insurance Policy
Liability Insurance
Liability insurance is mandatory for all Canadian drivers. This coverage will protect you from financial burden in the event that you are responsible for personal injury or property damage. For example, liability insurance will save you from having to pay for damages out of pocket should you hit a traffic post with your vehicle or accidentally injure someone while you’re driving.
Accident Benefits
In the event that you’re injured in a collision, accident benefits will cover the costs of recovery that exceed Ontario health. Regardless of who is at fault, accident benefits will protect you, your passenger, or whoever is injured.
Uninsured Automobile Coverage
Should personal injury or property damage be caused by an uninsured driver or a hit-and-run, uninsured automobile coverage will have you covered.
Direct Compensation and Property Damage Coverage
PC only offers this type of coverage in Ontario. DCPD offers financial protection if the other driver causes a collision and damages your car and its contents. In the event that you’re 50% responsible, this policy will cover 50% of the costs to repair your car.
Optional Coverage
Collision Insurance
As the name suggests, this covers the cost of replacing or repairing your car in the event that it’s involved in a collision. Opting for collision coverage will add an additional amount to your premium.
Comprehensive Insurance
Comprehensive insurance will protect you from the risks other than a collision that are out of your control, including fire, theft, vandalism, falling objects, and more.
