  • Permanent disabilities result from an accident.

Replacement cost coverage (Q.E.F. No. 5)

Replacement cost coverage (Q.E.F. No. 5) is an optional policy to your primary auto insurance policy. If your vehicle is declared a total loss or is stolen, this coverage provides additional compensation to help replace your vehicle and offset depreciation.

The amount you receive depends on the condition of the vehicle at the time of purchase and the terms of your policy.

  • New vehicle: You are compensated based on the value of a similar new vehicle from the current model year, without depreciation applied.
  • Used vehicle:
    • Purchased from a dealer: You are compensated based on the purchase price, plus an indexed percentage for each year of ownership.
    • Private purchase: You are entitled to a supplementary amount to the compensation from your primary insurer.

  • No deductible in the event of a total loss
  • Reimbursement of the deductible in the event of a partial loss, depending on the option chosen
  •  A courtesy vehicle during the claims process
  • Premium guaranteed for the entire duration of coverage
  • Financing terms available from 12 to 84 months

  • TAG discount: Is your vehicle equipped with a tracking system? A discount is applied directly to your premium. The system must be installed within the timeframe specified in the contract for the discount to apply.

  • Automobiles
  • Motorcycles and three-wheel models
  • Snowmobiles 
  • All-terrain vehicles (ATVs, quads, and side-by-sides) 
  • Recreational vehicles (RVs) 
  • Trailers and tent trailers
  • Travel trailers and motorhomes

This coverage can be especially valuable during the first years of ownership, when depreciation is at its highest. It may allow you to receive more than your vehicle’s actual cash value in the event of a covered loss.
