Keep us informed
Given that auto insurance premiums are influenced by a number of factors, we recommend you call us to review your policy if your situation changes. You may qualify for a lower rate if, for example, there's a change in the distance you commute to work or if you are on maternity or a parental leave.

Optional auto enhancements
Accident Forgiveness
In Alberta, drivers are rewarded for their good driving record and experience. Many companies refer to the way they classify a driver by awarding them “stars” based on their experience. The highest of these is referred to as a 6-star driving record.

Are you currently rated as a six-star driver? If so, you are eligible to protect your six-star preferred rating in the event of an at-fault loss for an additional annual premium of $25 or $35 per vehicle depending upon driving class. With the Six Star Protector, even if you are deemed to be at-fault in a future accident, your driving record and claims-free rating will remain unchanged. As far as your insurance is concerned, it's like the accident never happened — your premiums will not increase!* Without this protection, if you are a six-star driver and have an at-fault loss, your driving record may change to a five-star rating and your premium may increase 10–15% per year for five years (*Certain restrictions apply).

Car Rental Endorsement
In the event of an accident, you may need a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired. You have the option of purchasing basic rental car coverage up to a maximum of $900 per occurrence. Our enhanced coverage provides a rental vehicle to a maximum of $2,500 per occurrence, allowing you greater flexibility to rent the style of car you enjoy.

Satellite — Driver Assistance that Revolves Around You
When you're on the road and need help, the Satellite program comes to the rescue — anywhere in Canada or the continental United States. Need a tow or a boost? Maybe you've run out of gas or locked your keys in the car. Would unique features such as advice on vehicle maintenance or repair or directions if you're lost be helpful? How about discounts on hotels and car rentals? The Satellite program covers emergencies and more — for just pennies a day. Ask us today about how you can add Satellite to your coverage.

Accident Benefits
The government of Alberta provides a mandatory level of accident benefits coverage upon the issuance of an automobile insurance policy.

Anti-theft Device Program
If your vehicle is less than six years old, you may qualify to have a state-of-the-art ignition disabler installed for only $24.99 (regular retail value $79.95). Once installed, you may receive a discount of 3–5% off the comprehensive / all-perils coverage on your automobile policy. The device will make your vehicle virtually theft proof and save you money on your automobile insurance!

  • Increased liability limits (an additional $1 million to $5 million)
  • Additional coverage for automobiles driven outside of Canada or the U.S.
  • Coverage for your involvement as a director or officer of a non-profit group
