What do I need to know about car insurance in Edmonton, Alberta?
In Alberta, basic automobile insurance, which includes accident benefits and third-party liability, is required by law.
It’s mandatory to have a minimum of $200,000 in insurance and accident benefits coverage. Any coverage beyond this considered to be optional car insurance coverage. Decide if you want more than the minimum coverage and factor it into your budget.
Additional insurance coverage, such as collision and comprehensive, is not required by law.
All cars and trucks must have valid insurance and a vehicle registration certificate. As a first-time car owner, this is your responsibility.
What do I need to know about home insurance in Edmonton, Alberta?
Home insurance is not mandatory in Alberta, but if you have a mortgage your lender will likely require you to have an insurance policy.
Alberta can have severe weather at times like tornadoes, wildfires, and hailstorms. Home insurance typically helps protect when these severe weather events happen.
Without home insurance, you’ll be responsible for paying out of pocket for damages to your home and detached structures like your shed or garage.
Home insurance also covers your personal belongings and helps protect you should someone get injured at your home.
