Lock Re-Keying 5. Emergency Roadside Expense Repayment 6. Theft Deductible Waiver 7. Destination Assistance 8. Family Worldwide Transportation. Who can buy Roadside Plus? Anyone can buy Roadside Plus, as long as you have our Autoplan Collision coverage with a deductible of $1,000 or less (for most classes of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of 5,000 kg or less, or motorhomes) and you also need to have a CRS level at base rate or better. Even if you re not a B.C. resident, you re still eligible for most Roadside Plus coverages, including Loss of Use, Lock Re-Keying, Theft Deductible Waiver, Destination Assistance, and Emergency Roadside Expense Repayment. If a vehicle is in a company name without an assigned corporate driver, certain coverages may not apply. How we ve got you covered Loss of Use Regardless of who s at fault, if you can t drive your vehicle as a result of a collision, comprehensive or specified perils claim, you ll be reimbursed up to $750 for the cost of renting a substitute vehicle, hiring taxis or using public transit under Roadside Plus Loss of Use.

3 If you need a substitute vehicle after your claim, the Roadside Plus package allows you to rent a vehicle that s comparable in size to your own. Your ICBC adjuster may specify the vehicle make and model. Coverage for a rental vehicle is conditional on your ability to rent a vehicle. If your vehicle can t be driven, coverage starts right after the crash and ends when your vehicle s repaired or when we ve made you an offer of settlement if your vehicle s a total loss. If your vehicle can be driven, coverage applies while it s getting repaired and ends when the repairs are done. The Roadside Plus Loss of Use coverage is based on the Optional Autoplan coverages you have on your vehicle. For example, if you only had our collision coverage, you d be entitled to loss of use in the event of a crash but not if your vehicle was vandalized or stolen. For our Loss of Use coverage to apply for those claims, you d need our Comprehensive coverage as well. Rental Vehicle coverage This protects you when you re using a courtesy vehicle or a vehicle including motorhomes, motorcycles or trailers rented under a written rental agreement from an established rental service for a period of up to 30 days, and used for pleasure or business purposes. Our coverage includes: Third Party Liability up to $2,000,000, for damage or injury you cause to others while driving the rental or courtesy car Accident Benefits up to $150,000 for medical, rehabilitation, disability, funeral and death benefits Underinsured Motorist Protection (UMP) up to $1 million Collision coverage with a $300 deductible and Comprehensive coverage with a $300 deductible for the rental vehicle (includes $200 deductible for any claim for windshield damage caused by missiles or flying objects) Loss of Use coverage of $25 per day, to a total limit of $250, for replacement transportation if the rental vehicle is unable to be driven due to the crash payment for claims made by the rental company for loss of rental income. Keep in mind your maximum daily rental rate is $125 (Cdn) in Canada or $100 (U.S.) in the United States except for motorhomes, trucks and campers rented as one unit, or wheelchair-accessible vehicles.

4 For collision or comprehensive claims, if coverage from the rental company applies in addition to the Roadside Plus Rental Vehicle coverage, we ll pay the difference between the higher deductible on the rental company policy and the Roadside Plus deductible. Who is covered For Liability and Own Damage (Collision, Comprehensive, Specified Perils) coverage, the rental contract must be in the name of: The person named on the Owner s Certificate to which the Roadside Plus package applies. An assigned corporate driver where the insured named on the Owner s Certificate is the driver s employer, and use of the assigned vehicle is a taxable benefit for the driver under the Income Tax Act (Canada). The spouse of either of these persons as long as they are shown as a renter or included as a permitted driver on the rental contract of their spouse. Coverage also extends to any other person named as permitted driver on the rental contract. For Accident Benefits and UMP, it covers the named insured, the assigned corporate driver, members of the household of the named insured and the assigned corporate driver and any other occupant of the rental vehicle. What about vehicles and uses? Our Roadside Plus Rental Vehicle coverage doesn t apply to: A commercial motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight in excess of 5,000 kg. Snowmobiles, snow vehicles, golf carts, all-terrain vehicles, industrial machines and road-building machines. A vehicle that s borrowed for any use whatsoever.

A vehicle that s owned by the owner of a vehicle rental business, if the vehicle is used in connection with the business. Vehicle Travel Protection coverage If you re on a trip and you get in a crash or your vehicle s stolen, our Vehicle Travel Protection pays you back for some of the expenses.
