Financial relief measures and premium adjustments

1. COVID 19 is causing me to experience financial challenges – what can I do?

If you submitted a car insurance relief request on or before May 31, you will receive a refund within 30 days that your request is approved. This is a one-time payment and the price of your insurance will not change.

Though our temporary relief measures have ended, we recognize that our support remains critical for those customers most impacted by the pandemic.

Please contact us to discuss options that best meet your needs.

2. I am driving less as a result of COVID-19. Am I eligible for a premium reduction?

If you are driving less, please contact us to ensure your coverage reflects your driving habits.

3. I have been laid off and might consider doing deliveries for work. Do I need to change my policy?

If you plan on using, or have been and wish to keep using, your car for food delivery purposes, please contact us at 1-888-758-5600 to discuss and obtain the appropriate coverage, as you may need changes to your policy.

4. I am providing temporary childcare services for parents who are considered an essential service. Do I need to change my policy?

We are also providing flexibility for those who are using their homes during the crisis for different purposes like running a business from home.

For example, if you are an existing customer who will be temporarily providing childcare or babysitting services to the maximum number of children established by the provincial guidelines in order to assist families impacted by COVID-19, during the immediate crisis period we are temporarily extending coverage to this exposure at no charge.

Communities

11. This is a difficult time for communities. What is your company doing?

Our commitment to helping people goes beyond our promise to provide an outstanding customer experience.

In addition to focusing on the well-being of our employees and customers, we are committed to helping our communities be resilient during this challenging time and for many years to come.

Since the start of the pandemic, we've responded to our customers and society's needs, providing more than $7 million to target the immediate needs of individuals and families who are most vulnerable to the social, health and economic effects of this pandemic. This included a CAD$500,000 donation to Breakfast Club of Canada's Emergency Club Fund, US$500,000 to Feed America and local charities in 22 communities across the United States where we do business, as well as $500,000 to support critical research underway with CHU Sainte-Justine and partner hospitals to develop and test a treatment for COVID-19.

Our employees also played a key role in supporting our efforts to help the communities most impacted by participating in our annual Generosity in Action campaign in collaboration with the United Way. Combining their generosity with our corporate match, we raised over $5.2 million nationally. These funds are helping families living in poverty and supporting worthy organizations to help their communities through the pandemic.
