Essential Forest Car Insurance Coverage
Drivers in Ontario are required to carry several areas of coverage. Learn more about each of these to ensure you’re driving safely and legally. Regardless of how you wish to alter your auto coverage, choose a Forest car insurance policy that contains these mandatory coverages:
- Uninsured automobile
- Direct compensation - property damage
- Statutory accident benefits
- Third-party liability
Uninsured automobile covers you in the event of an accident with a driver who is underinsured, uninsured or is not identified. Direct compensation - property damage is paid to you from the insurer, rather than the other driver’s insurer. It’s used in situations where the other driver is at fault and covers property damage.
Statutory accident benefits are used to cover caregiving and income costs after an accident. If you require assistance or are unable to work after a serious accident, this coverage determines the amount of income replacement and other expenses you qualify for.
Finally, third-party liability covers you when you’re found responsible for the accident. As the responsible party, you may be required to pay for property damage and other compensation related to an auto accident.
Now that you understand the basics of mandatory Forest car insurance, learn more about two optional coverages that you may include or adjust: comprehensive and collision.
Collision coverage is used in most situations when your vehicle is damaged while operating. If you’re involved in a collision with another driver, a stationary object or other accidents, your collision coverage should compensate you for the repair costs.
Because collision doesn’t cover any damage that occurs to your vehicle while it’s parked and not in use, comprehensive coverage is also required to fully insure against most situations. Comprehensive covers falling branches and objects, fire damage, vandalism, theft, broken windshields and other issues.
Always discuss your collision and comprehensive coverage with your insurance provider. At HUB International, we offer both of these extra layers of coverage independently or together to offer a wide range of coverage. If you’re concerned about a specific peril, you can receive more affordable collision or comprehensive coverage. All peril coverage typically comes with a higher premium, but offers significantly more protection.
Work with an insurance provider who understands the factors to consider when insuring your vehicle. Explore options related to the type of vehicle, your driving habits and other possible coverages.
A classic car or a car with extensive aftermarket accessories and electronic equipment may require additional coverage. Be sure to communicate the replacement cost of your car, including any additions or other factors.
Driving outside of Canada may require a worldwide coverage plan. If you frequently commute to the United States or are planning another international trip, ask your team at HUB International about coverage adjustments.
