Personal Umbrella Liability

With Personal Umbrella Liability, you can add between $1 million to $5 million of liability coverage over and above your current policy limits, and with no deductible. While this is a valuable addition to your home policy, the extended liability coverage also applies to your auto, seasonal, watercraft policies and more.2

Optional insurance

Extra insurance options can be added to your insurance plan as endorsements. An endorsement is an add-on to your insurance policy that covers a specific item or event.

 

Scheduled personal articles

Regular personal property, such as a television or personal use computer, is covered under your policy up to your personal property limit. Special limits are set on items like jewellery or fine arts. If these items are worth more than the limit specified, you may want to insure them as scheduled personal articles. Scheduled personal articles provides all risk coverage with some exclusions.

Jewellery, gems, watches and furs

Home insurance policies contain special limits that apply to items such as jewellery, gems, watches and furs. We recommend that you insure your higher value items, such as an engagement ring, separately as a scheduled personal article. This ensures you have the coverage you require, allows you to select a deductible for this valuable item and leaves the limit built in your policy available to cover your remaining pieces.

 

Escape of fuel oil

If you use oil to heat your home, this optional insurance covers you for damages caused by oil leaking from your tank.

 

Comprehensive water

Comprehensive water coverage insures various types of water damage including water, septic or sewer backups, storm surge, and flooding from the overflow of a natural or man-made body of water.


See our Quebec home insurance section for details in Quebec

 

Earthquake

This extra coverage extends your policy to cover damage caused by earthquakes. 

 

Watercraft

You can purchase additional coverage for smaller pleasure boats valued under $100,000 and not more than 8 metres (26 feet) in length. This endorsement includes:

  • Coverage for your boat and attached equipment, motor, trailer and accessories as specifically described
  • Coverage for runabouts, cruisers, sailboats, rowboats, canoes, kayaks, pontoon boats, inflatable boats, jet boats, windsurfers, paddle boats and other personal watercraft
  • Discounts for approved boating courses

 

Guaranteed replacement on building

Under your home insurance policy, the home is assigned a specific replacement value. With Guaranteed Replacement Cost, the actual cost to repair or replace your home is covered, even if this cost exceeds the insured limit. This coverage is automatically included in our Prestige home insurance plan if the dwelling is not a heritage home.

 

Replacement cost endorsement

With the replacement cost endorsement, personal property is insured for replacement cost at today's prices, not its depreciated value.

Most of our policy options automatically include this valuable coverage.
