Mandatory Car Insurance Coverage for Ontario

In Ontario, it is required by the government that individuals must carry the following coverage:

Here are some of the most common optional coverages that we recommend for your auto insurance

Accident Benefits (AB)

The Accident Benefits section provides compensation if your injured in a car accident, regardless of who was at fault. This portion of the premium is what pays your rehabilitation, income replacement, caregiver and other services required.

DCPD

Apart of your Mandatory Liability Portion of your Auto Insurance. This portion of your policy pays out to fix your vehicle in the event of a not at fault claim.

Uninsured Motorist(UI)

Uninsured automobile coverage is a part of your car insurance policy that protects the policy holder if they are involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist.

Collision

If you are in a car accident, and deemed to be at fault(even partially), you will need collision coverage to fix the damages to your vehicle.  Also covered under this coverage is hit and run accidents where the driver of the other vehicle is unidentified.  Generally this coverage is subject to a deductible.  Some companies OFFER $0.00 deductibles, the most common deductibles are $500 or $1000.

Comprehensive

Provides coverage from damage caused a result of, Theft, Fire, Wind Damage, Vandalism, Falling Object, and Animal collisions.  This coverage is also what will cover glass breakage, such as cracks in your windshield.

Loss of use (OPCF 20)

Loss of use will provide you with a rental car while your car is being repaired, as a result of collision or comprehensive claim.  Without this coverage you would have to pay for your own rental, or find transportation during those repairs.

This endorsement is for the client who rents vehicles. It automatically extends coverage for a rental vehicle up to a specified amount (normally $50,000 or $75,000) anywhere in Canada or the US. It saves you from paying the pricey insurance rates that the rental company charges.
