Know before you buy

Your plain‑English coverage guide

What each type of insurance is for, who needs it in Alberta, what it covers, and exactly what to do if something goes wrong.

Auto & vehicle insurance
Alberta law: auto insurance is mandatory. Driving without it can bring heavy fines and a licence suspension. Coverage is provided by private insurers and regulated by the Automobile Insurance Rate Board (AIRB).
Why it matters

One serious at‑fault crash can cost far more than you could pay yourself. Insurance stands between an accident and financial ruin.

Who needs it

Every registered vehicle in Alberta must be insured — by law. That includes cars, trucks, motorcycles and RVs.

What's covered

Mandatory basics: third‑party liability (minimum $200,000), accident benefits, and Direct Compensation for Property Damage. Optional collision and comprehensive protect your own vehicle — comprehensive matters in Calgary for hail. Most drivers carry $1 million liability.

If something happens

Make sure everyone's safe and call police if needed, exchange info and photograph the scene, then message us. As your broker we open the claim with your insurer and guide you through repairs.

Home & property insurance
Good to know: home insurance isn't required by Alberta law, but mortgage lenders require it before they'll fund your home.
Why it matters

Your home is likely your biggest asset. A fire, break‑in or Calgary hailstorm can be financially devastating without coverage.

Who needs it

Every homeowner. It's optional in law but essential in practice — and mandatory if you have a mortgage.

What's covered

The building, your belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses if you're displaced. Overland flood and sewer‑backup are usually optional add‑ons worth considering in Alberta.

If something happens

Make the property safe and prevent further damage, document everything with photos and a list, keep receipts for emergency repairs, then contact us to file the claim.

Tenant & renters insurance
Why it matters

Your landlord's policy covers the building — not your belongings and not your personal liability. That's on you.

Who needs it

Anyone renting an apartment, condo or house. Many Calgary landlords now require proof of tenant insurance in the lease.

What's covered

Your contents, personal liability (for example accidental water damage to the unit below), and living expenses if your place becomes unlivable.

If something happens

Report any theft to police, photograph the damage or loss, list affected items with their value, then message us to start the claim.

Condo insurance
Why it matters

The condo corporation's policy stops at the "standard unit." Your upgrades, contents and coverage gaps are your responsibility.

Who needs it

Condo and townhouse owners across Alberta — even though the building itself is insured by the corporation.

What's covered

Improvements and betterments, your belongings, personal liability, and loss assessment if the corporation charges owners after a large claim.

If something happens

Notify your condo board or property manager, document the loss, then contact us — we coordinate between your policy and the corporation's.

Business & commercial insurance
Alberta note: most employers must also carry WCB coverage for their workers, and business‑use vehicles need commercial auto. Some regulated professions require liability cover to be licensed.
Why it matters

A single lawsuit, fire or theft can shut a small business down. The right coverage keeps you operating.

Who needs it

Any Alberta business — from sole proprietors and home‑based operations to incorporated companies with staff and premises.

What's covered

Commercial general liability, business property and equipment, and business interruption, plus add‑ons like professional liability, cyber and commercial fleet.

If something happens

Secure your premises, document the damage and any lost income, keep your records, then contact us to open the claim fast and limit downtime.

Life insurance
Why it matters

It replaces your income and clears debts like a mortgage, so your family isn't left struggling if the worst happens.

Who needs it

Anyone with dependents, a mortgage, or people who rely on your income — the younger and healthier you buy, the lower the cost.

What's covered

A tax‑free lump sum paid to your beneficiaries. Term life is affordable coverage for a set period; whole/permanent life lasts your lifetime and can build value.

If something happens

Your beneficiary contacts us with the death certificate and policy details, and we help them submit the claim to the insurer.

Travel insurance
Why Albertans need it: Alberta Health Care (AHCIP) covers little to nothing outside Canada. One medical emergency abroad can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Why it matters

A hospital stay in the U.S. or overseas can be ruinous. Travel cover turns a worst‑case trip into a phone call.

Who needs it

Anyone leaving the province or country — snowbirds, vacationers and business travellers — plus visitors coming to Canada.

What's covered

Emergency medical care, trip cancellation and interruption, lost or delayed baggage, and travel delays.

If something happens

Call the insurer's 24/7 emergency line before treatment where possible, keep every receipt and report, then send them to us to process.
