SUMMARY OF KEY CHANGES FOR COMMERCIAL VEHICLES – Newfoundland

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 deductible 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 value. The minimum deductible requirements are outlined below:

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

·         If your previous deductible was below $250 for comprehensive or specified perils, it is now a minimum of $250 or more.
