In Canada, generally no additional car insurance coverage is required because renters are often covered by their personal insurance policies. This is only applicable for Canadian residents, and if you are visiting Canada from another country you may find that the car rental insurance process works differently.

Canadian Residents Most residents of Canada are covered by their personal car insurance, credit card or travel insurance policy. It is important to know if you are already covered, so you will not have to purchase any additional products at the counter.Call your insurance company or your credit card provider and ask what is included. It is a good idea to cover your car insurance declaration page. Non-Residents Generally, visitors to Canada rely on personal travel insurance policies to cover their rental car. These often only cover the excess, so you may need to make sure Collision Damage Waiver is included in the rates. | ||
 | Purchase Products | |
| There are four types of cover that you need in Canada. The most important is Collision Damage Waiver, which protects the renter from paying for a damaged or stolen car, costing up to $30 per day. Renters in Canada can also purchase Supplemental Liability Insurance, which insures the renter for bodily injury or death. Personal Accident Insurance covers the renter and all passengers inside the vehicle for any medical expenses. Personal Effects Coverage insures the renter against loss, theft or damage to their personal items. | ||
