  • A good driving record including claims and convictions free
  • Selecting a higher deductible which will reduce your collision and comprehensive premiums

  • Multi policy (home and auto insurance bundled)
  • Driving school discount for young drivers
  • Drivers over 50 or experienced drivers

What is a deductible and how does it work?

A deductible is the amount you will be responsible to pay in the event of collision or comprehensive loss. This is the amount the insurance company deducts from the total amount of the damage claimed and the insurance company will pay the remainder. There are different deductible limits offered. The higher the deductible, the lower your premium. Please be sure to discuss with your broker which deductible options are best suited for you.

What do I do when I have to make a claim?

As your broker we will do our best to make your claims experience as smooth as possible. During regular business hours, please contact our office to notify us about your claim. In the event you are faced with an after hours claims emergency, please refer to the 24/7 emergency claim phone numbers on our website.

My vehicle was in an accident. What are my options for getting the damage appraised?

After a claim, you deserve to have your vehicle repaired quickly, properly and the repair work guaranteed. Our quality Insurance Companies use a national network of high quality repair shops which they stand behind and guaranty the repairs. They will encourage you to choose a repair shop they recommend to have your damage appraised and repaired quickly. You do have the option to select a repair shop of your choice to have your vehicle damage appraised and repaired. You should inquire with the repair shop you choose about the guaranty and warranty of their repair work.

If my vehicle was involved in an accident how does rental coverage work?

Should your vehicle become not drivable as a result of an insured collision loss, the Loss of Use endorsement (SEF 20) will provide reimbursement for reasonable costs incurred for use of a rental vehicle while your vehicle is being repaired or replaced. We recommend that you review your limit of insurance for this endorsement with your broker to ensure you have adequate coverage.

What is accident forgiveness?

Many of our insurance markets offer an optional endorsement to provide coverage for accident forgiveness. This endorsement protects your premium from increasing as a result of a first at fault accident. This endorsement may be purchased for an additional premium and the driver/operator must qualify for the endorsement to be applied.

What is liability coverage?

Third Party Liability coverage pays for injury to others and damage to their property, resulting from an accident that you are at fault for. Every car insurance policy includes liability coverage, to help protect you financially. With some liability awards exceeding $1 million dollars, it is our recommendation that you opt for a minimum of $2,000,000 liability coverage.

What are comprehensive and collision coverage?

Comprehensive coverage provides coverage for fire, theft, vandalism, theft of parts, and other losses that are not insured under collision coverage. Collision coverage provides physical damage coverage for your vehicle in the event of a collision with another vehicle, person or object.

What are comprehensive and collision coverage?

Comprehensive coverage provides coverage for fire, theft, vandalism, theft of parts, and other losses that are not insured under collision coverage. Collision coverage provides physical damage coverage for your vehicle in the event of a collision with another vehicle, person or object.

What is Limited Glass Endorsement?

Limited Glass endorsement (SEF 13D) excludes coverage for chips and cracks to your windows, which also aids in reducing your comprehensive premium if you purchase this endorsement. However, this endorsement still provides coverage for specific perils such as fire, lightning, theft, or attempt threat, windstorm, earthquake, hail, explosion, riot or civil commotion, and rising water, for all glass on a vehicle and in addition vandalism to windows other than vandalism to the front windshield.

Is there full replacement cost coverage for my brand new vehicle?

Insurance companies do not offer full replacement of a brand new vehicle in the event of a total loss. They offer an endorsement coverage, known as Limited Waiver of Depreciation (SEF 43R) which removes the right to deduct depreciation from the purchase price on your bill of sale. With the purchase of this endorsement you will be reimbursed for the original purchase price of the vehicle. To be eligible to purchase this endorsement, the insured must be the original owner of the vehicle and the vehicle must be less than 30 months old. Demonstrator vehicles with less than 5000 km may also qualify for this coverage.

Who can drive my vehicle?

Any person with a valid driver’s license who has your permission may drive your vehicle. However, if they are involved in an at fault accident this may affect your insurance premiums because the insurance follows the vehicle and not the driver. If any person regularly drives your vehicle or is a licensed driver in your home, you should inquire with your broker whether they should be added to your policy.

Is someone else allowed to borrow my vehicle?

If you allow a person with a valid drivers license to borrow your vehicle you are lending them your insurance. It is your automobile insurance policy that will respond in the event of an insured loss. Should the loss be a chargeable claim it is your policy premiums that will be affected.

Does my insurance include insurance coverage on a rental car while on vacation?

You can purchase the Legal Liability for Non Owned Autos endorsement (SEF 27). This endorsement extends physical damage coverage to the vehicle you are renting for a maximum 30 day period. This saves you from buying insurance from the rental car company. Coverage is limited to the insured and listed drivers on the policy only and has a limit of insurance that is applied. This endorsement is only valid in Canada & Continental United States. Please inquire to your broker to confirm you are adequately covered if planning on renting a vehicle.

Can I drive my car in the United States?

You are insured to drive in the United States. It is recommended that you consider a minimum of $2 million third party liability, especially if you regularly drive to the United States. This is due to the fact that in the United Sates they have different liability laws than we do in Canada.

Does my car insurance cover me while I am hauling my recreational vehicle or watercraft with my utility trailer?

The third party liability from your automobile policy will extend at no extra cost from the vehicle you are hauling your trailer with. However, any physical damage to the trailer, recreational vehicle or watercraft is not covered. Physical damage for those items you’re hauling including the utility trailer must be purchased under separate coverage.

The above are general guidelines and may not apply in all cases. Every case is unique and proper advice should be attained from your insurance representative. Please contact your broker for further information.

Had insurance with this company years ago and will go back once my auto/home are up for renewal. There was a reporting error that I needed corrected and this team went all out to help me even though they were not obligated to reduce the fee owed for a customer they had not had for several years. I was so impressed by their exceptional customer service (manager of this location was very kind) they just won my business back by their award winning kindness, compassion, friendliness and willingness to go the extra mile. Thanks to the whole team at Alberta Best.
