Liability and Other Mandatory Car Insurance

In various places in the world, car insurance is optional, but look at the problems that causes. In Canada, car insurance is mandatory, I mean even if it wasn’t, why wouldn’t you want it? Look at all that it covers!

  • Liability:
    • Say you’re driving your car and happen to cross someone’s property, and you accidentally hit them with your automobile. Or what if you hit their garage because you weren’t paying attention? What would you do? How could you possibly pay off something like that? Well that’s where your insurance comes in handy. If someone is injured or killed because of your automobile, or their property is damaged because of you, don’t worry you’re covered and protected. Liability coverage protects you financially if you are legally liable for injuring someone or causing damage to their property while operating your vehicle.
  • Protection Against Injury or Death:
    • Let’s say you’re driving your vehicle and you happen to get in an accident. Well, accident benefits coverage can help replace lost income, or even pay for your medical attention, rehabilitation, and other expenses that aren’t covered by government health insurance. Not only that, but if you’re travelling with your family and happen to get in an accident, and let’s say you are killed, accident benefits coverage will also provide benefits to your partner or spouse and any dependant children.
  • Direct Compensation for Property Damage:
    • With direct compensation for property damage, you have coverage that protects you if damage to your car or contents inside the car are damaged and another vehicle is responsible.
  • Protection Against Uninsured or Unidentified Drivers:
    • What were to happen if an unidentified or uninsured vehicle were to damage your vehicle or injure you family or you? Well, uninsured vehicle coverage provides benefits to both you and your family if an uninsured or unidentified vehicle injures or kills you. It even helps cover damages to your vehicle if it is damaged by an unidentified vehicle.

Collision and Comprehensive Car Insurance

As a driver, no matter how safe you try to be, you really don’t know what’s going to happen next. That’s why it’s so important to get collision and comprehensive car insurance. With this insurance the following will be covered:

  • Collision:
    • If your car ever obtains damage after a collision, this car insurance covers the expenses to fix your car if it’s damaged after the collision.
  • Comprehensive:
    • If damage to your car is obtained by any hazards other than collision, it will be covered under comprehensive car insurance, and the damage will be payed off. Hazards that result in loss and damage can include broken glass, theft, fire, as well as vandalism.
  • Family Protection:
    • Obviously, protecting your family is just as important as protecting yourself. That’s why it’s important to get family protection through collision and comprehensive car insurance. It provides coverage and protects your family up to the same limits as your own liability coverage. For example, if you are involved in an accident with someone who carries less or no insurance, or is unidentified, then you are not at fault

Additional Protection

In addition to mandatory car insurance and collision and comprehensive car insurance, there’s also the choice of additional protection. Additional protection includes the following:

  • Loss of Use: If your own vehicle is being repaired after claims, and you need a rental car, don’t worry, additional protection covers that, and will pay for your rental vehicle.
  • Accidental Claims Protector: This prevents your premium from increasing after first ‘at fault’ accident.
  • Waiver of Depreciation: Depreciation is not applied to the value of your car after a claim.

How is my automotive insurance premium determined?

Your automotive insurance premium is set by the following:

  • Driving records
  • Type of coverage and deductible
  • Type and model year of vehicles
  • If you can use your vehicle for personal use, business use or both
  • Distance driven each year
  • Number of drivers in your household and their ages

Ride-Sharing Insurance

Okay, so you have your own vehicle, that covers you and your family, but what happens if you’re a part-time driver for companies such as Uber or Lyft, picking up and dropping off strangers from place to place? Well, there’s an insurance perfectly designed for just that too. Ride-sharing insurance is designed for part-time drivers who use their own vehicles to carry paying passengers.

Uber, Lyft, and various other companies with similar services are becoming widely popular, which is why it’s important to find the appropriate insurance. However, since this is a new concept in Ontario, many insurers feel unsure about fulfilling your insurance needs with ride-sharing. However, we know that the insurance and financial need of people are always changing, which is why we want to let you know that you can count on us.

At Xeed we assure you that we will find the right insurance for you, no matter what your circumstances are.

Why Do You Need Insurance in the Ride-Sharing Business?
