What does Bundle Insurance cover?
Bundle Insurance in Canada offers combined coverage for both an individual’s home and automobile. Here’s a breakdown of what is typically covered under each component of this bundled insurance:
Auto Insurance Coverage:
- Third-Party Liability:Covers costs if you're legally responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property with your vehicle. This is mandatory in all Canadian provinces and territories.
- Collision:Pays for repair or replacement costs of your vehicle if it's damaged in a collision with another vehicle or object.
- Comprehensive:Covers damage to your car caused by events other than collisions, such as theft, vandalism, fire, natural disasters, etc.
- Accident Benefits/Bodily Injury:Provides benefits like medical treatment and income replacement if you're injured in an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
- Uninsured Motorist:Protects you if you're involved in an accident with an uninsured driver or in a hit-and-run situation.
Home Insurance Coverage:
- Dwelling Building: Covers the cost to repair or rebuild your home if it's damaged by insured perils like fire, wind, or theft.
- Personal Property/Contents:Provides coverage for the loss or damage of personal belongings inside the home, such as furniture, electronics, and clothing.
- Personal Liability:Protects you financially if someone is injured on your property or if you unintentionally cause damage to someone else's property.
- Additional Living Expenses: Covers the costs of living elsewhere (like a hotel) if your home becomes uninhabitable due to an insured peril.
- Detached Private Structures:Covers structures on your property that aren't attached to your home, like a garage or shed.
- Optional Endorsements:Additional coverages you can purchase, such as sewer backup, flood coverage, or increased limits for valuable items like jewelry or artwork.
It’s important to note that while the above coverages are standard in many policies, the specifics can vary based on the insurance provider, the chosen policy, and any additional endorsements or riders added. Policyholders should always read their policy documents carefully and consult with their insurance agent or broker to ensure they understand their coverages and any exclusions or limitations.
