SUMMARY OF KEY CHANGES FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES – Ontario

We previously shared with you that Royal & Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (“RSA”) was acquired by Intact Financial Corporation. As a result, your RSA insurance policy is being transferred to Intact Insurance Company (“Intact Insurance”) on your policy‘s renewal date.    

  

As part of the transition to Intact Insurance, certain coverages on your existing policy may have been reduced/removed or enhanced/increased. The main coverage changes are listed below; please read the content carefully.

This is only a summary of the changes that may impact your coverage. Please refer to your insurance policy which provides the full details of your coverage, including a full list of conditions and exclusions. If you have questions about your policy or these changes, please contact your broker.

 

Deductible changes

Your deductibles may have changed. If the deductible you had previously at RSA is not available at Intact Insurance, it has been changed to the next lowest available. Deductibles are based upon vehicle weight and value with minimum requirements.

 

For Light Commercial Vehicles

·         If your previous deductible was below $500 for all perils or collision, it is now a minimum of $500.

·         If your previous deductible was below $300 for comprehensive or specified perils, it is now a minimum of $300.

For Heavy Commercial Vehicles

·         If your previous deductible was below $1,000 for all perils, collision, comprehensive or specified perils, it is now a minimum of $1,000.

·         For heavy commercial vehicles, List Price New (LPN) is also used to determine minimum deductible requirements. LPN is the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) at the time of purchasing a new vehicle, excluding tax. It also includes the installed cost of any permanently attached equipment.

o   Vehicles with an LPN greater than $100,000 will have a deductible equal to 5% of the LPN – excluding rating Class 61, 62, 63, 64 units.

o   Rating class 61, 62, 63, 64 with an LPN of $100,000 up to $200,000 a minimum deductible of $5,000 applies.

o   Vehicles with an LPN greater than $200,000 will have a deductible equal to 5% of the LPN.
