Loan Repayment Insurance
Total protection against financial breakdown
Whether your vehicle is new or pre-owned, you're going to enjoy it for a very long time. You've chosen wisely and budgeted carefully, but the one option you shouldn't overlook is loan repayment insurance. It's an option that will protect your investment in case of a financial breakdown.
Unfortunately, when something unexpected happens to you such as unemployment, disability, critical illness, or even death, finance or lease payments for your vehicle still need to be made. You or your family may consider selling your vehicle, but you will most likely still have to make up the deficiency. If you or your family still need the vehicle, keeping up with the monthly payments could be a major hardship. Protecting your investment, by insuring your monthly loan payments, is a sound choice. For more than 45 years, we've been offering Canadians flexible, competitively priced insurance options. And through our group buying power, you can protect your vehicle investment and feel safe and secure about your financial commitments, for just pennies a day.
The power of protection:
There are those who feel that even at a low price, loan repayment is an unnecessary "luxury". The "it could never happen to me" attitude is understandable when your health is good and you're in the prime of life. Nevertheless, the statistics on disability and death cannot be ignored.
Reducing the impact on your family
The best way to achieve peace of mind is to plan ahead. So it's good to know that the insurance coverage you choose will reduce the financial impact on your loved ones if anything should happen to you:
If you were to suffer a fatal injury or illness or become accidentally dismembered, life coverage will pay off the insured portion of your loan.
If you are diagnosed with a covered condition, critical illness coverage provides a lump sum payment that will pay off the insured portion of your loan. A 'Living Life' benefit, critical illness insurance is designed to eliminate the financial strain of a vehicle loan, giving you the freedom to focus on getting well.
If you become totally disable through illness or as a result of injury, "Accident and Sickness" disability coverage will take care of your loan payments.
If you become totally disabled as a result of injury, or become unemployed involuntarily, the "Accidental Plus" coverage will cover up the equivalent of six insured monthly payments per incident for the duration of your coverage term.
- Of all loans that become delinquent in Canada, 3% are due to the unexpected death of the main household income earner, and 50% are due to loss of income related to a disabling accident or illness.
- Canadians between the ages of 20 & 65 have a 50% chance of having disability that lasts longer than 3 months
- 55% of working adult Canadians have no disability coverage
- Accidents are the leading cause of death for Canadians 45 years of age and under
- 1 in 3 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
