Frequently Asked Questions

Is a Guaranteed Replacement Cost Endorsement the Same?

A replacement cost endorsement is not the same as our car replacement insurance. A guaranteed replacement cost endorsement is only available on brand-new vehicles through your primary insurer. Coverage can increase in cost significantly year after year. Your primary insurer can also end it after several minor claims or not renew it for many reasons. If you switch insurers to save premiums, you lose the coverage.

In comparison, replacement cost insurance is valid for a fixed term of up to seven years. The premium is one price for the entire term, and it can be bought for new or used vehicles.

Do I qualify for vehicle replacement coverage?

You can purchase our new car replacement insurance in Canada if you live in British Columbia or Alberta. Vehicles up to 5 model years old qualify.

What is a Car Replacement Insurance or Value Insurance policy?

Replacement cost, also known as replacement value, is an add-on insurance coverage that will help to replace a written-off or stolen vehicle with a brand-new one that is identical or very similar. The core idea of a replacement value policy is to provide a brand-new vehicle that is close to the original without the insured being out of pocket for depreciation. The policy underwriter considers the current price of the same or similar brand-new model when determining replacement cost or value insurance settlements.

How does vehicle replacement cost insurance work?

In the event of a write-off, your primary insurance settlement will pay the vehicle’s Actual Cash Value (ACV). A new vehicle can lose up to 50% of its value in four years. The policy helps protect your significant cash investment from this depreciation. It covers the difference between the cost of a new vehicle and the payout from your primary insurer, up to $60,000.

What else does new car replacement cost auto insurance include?

The policy includes deductible reimbursement of up to $500. In addition, you can add OEM Parts coverage. In an accident, this gets you original parts instead of cheap third-party ones. The plus package includes rental car reimbursement, key fob replacement, and deductible payback. Note: The vehicle does not have to be a write-off for OEM parts and plus-package coverage to take effect. You can also add diminished value coverage. If your car has significant repairs after an accident, it loses its resale value. This add-on will give you a cash settlement for 10% of the vehicle’s value.

The cost stays the same for the duration of the contract, and the coverage period can last up to seven years. You can cancel it at any time for a proportional refund.

Can I get a payment plan for replacement value car insurance?

Yes. Depending on your policy length, you can choose up to a 60-month plan. You can pay by credit card or direct debit from your account.

When do I need new vehicle replacement insurance?

If you have a loan or lease on your vehicle you will need to keep making those payments even if it is a write-off. Your primary car insurance likely will not cover any additional payments owed on your vehicle.

Your primary insurance coverage won’t cover the replacement value of your vehicle. If you cannot afford to replace your car or pay for the difference in the cost of a new one, our coverage is for you.

What is the difference between gap insurance and new car replacement?

If your car is totalled, gap insurance will ensure you don’t need to pay for a car you no longer have. It pays the difference between your remaining car loan balance and the amount paid (the “gap”) from your primary insurance provider. Gap insurance won’t pay for a new car.

Replacement cost car insurance coverage pays to replace your vehicle with a new one of the same make and model. With our replacement insurance, you can add loan protection coverage that will act like GAP insurance, covering any remaining loan balance up to a certain amount.
