Extension Under Insured Motorist Protection

Getting into a collision is stressful enough. Finding out the other driver doesn’t have enough coverage is even worse.

When it comes to auto insurance, it’s a good idea to look out for yourself rather than rely on other drivers to have enough coverage. A serious crash could leave you with medical costs for the rest of your life. Extension Under Insured Motorist Protection (UMP) increases the protection provided under your Basic Auto plan, if the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance.

How does Extension Under Insured Motorist Protection help you?

If you’re in a crash where the driver at fault doesn’t have enough insurance, your total UMP limit will cover things like medical costs, rehabilitation and lost wages for:

  • you and all members of your household in the vehicle with Extension UMP coverage*
  • you and all members of your household who are injured as pedestrians or cyclists, or in a vehicle other than your own.
Get coverage for each vehicle in your household

*For complete protection, each vehicle in your household must have Extension UMP added to the vehicle coverage so that you and your loved ones will be covered in all the vehicle(s) that you own.

Note: Underinsured Motorist Protection coverage doesn’t apply to crashes in provinces or states where the law doesn’t allow you to sue and recover damages for injury or death caused by a vehicle crash.
