Peace of mind on the road

How does Grand Touring Advantage work?

Grand Touring Advantage is an endorsement added to your insurance policy. It offers several advantages:

• If you’re involved in an accident, or your car is vandalized or stolen, you may benefit up to $1,500 coverage for the rental of a replacement vehicle.
• You and anybody insured under your policy are also covered for up to $50,000 for damage to rented or borrowed cars, anywhere in Canada and in the U.S. states.
• Across Canada, except for Quebec policy holders, you get reimbursed for towing and emergency service expenses up to $50 per incident.
• Your deductible may be also waived up to $500 in the event of a total loss or a hit-and-run, as long as it is reported to the police within 24 hours.

For travel far and near

Grand Touring Advantage is beneficial even if you aren’t travelling. It provides for courtesy cars in case of a covered claim and coverage for rental cars, so you don’t have to purchase the rental company’s insurance.

The coverage for a rental or borrowed car will apply whithin Canada, the United States of America or upon a vessel plying between ports of those countries.
