Automobile Insurance Coverage

Have You Considered These Possibilities?

HIGHER ACCIDENT BENEFIT LIMITS
If you are concerned that the standard Accident Benefit Limits may not be adequate to meet your needs following an automobile accident, increased limits can be purchased.

PROTECTION PLUS!
If purchased, this option protects your good driving record if you are at least six years accident free. In the event of your first “at fault” accident, you keep your accident free rating! (This protection cannot be applied to accidents resulting in any criminal code or major Highway Traffic Act violations.)

EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE!
This coverage reimburses you for towing and emergency service up to $50 per emergency. The coverage pays in excess of (or in absence of) any auto club, manufacturers or dealers warranties or credit card programs. The cost of parts or fuel does not qualify.
This coverage is included at no additional charge when your private passenger vehicle is insured for “Collision and Comprehensive” or “All Perils” physical damage coverages.

TRANSPORTATION REPLACEMENT!
If purchased, this option pays for the rental of a substitute vehicle while your vehicle is out of service due to a loss that your vehicle is insured against.
