Insuring a private vehicle
With AMR, it’s not complicated! All you have to do is ask.
Modified vehicle insurance
Modifications made to an automobile (special or personalized paint, lowered suspension, modified engine, transformation into a motorhome, conversion of an engine, etc.), even if they are only aesthetic, influence your insurance contract. All the modifications made must be declared to your insurer so as not to have unpleasant surprises in the event of an incident.
Damaged vehicle insurance
Damaged vehicle following an accident. The seller of the damaged vehicle is obliged to report the damage to the buyer. Some insurers agree to insure seriously damaged vehicles, provided that an inspection is carried out by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
Antique or collectible car insurance
Cars between 25 and 30 years old are considered antique vehicles. Your vehicle must meet certain conditions in order to be classified as a classic car by an insurer. Our brokers can advise you on coverage specific to antique vehicles and offer you good civil liability coverage.
Luxury car insurance
Cars from brands such as Bentley, Lamborghini, Maserati, Rolls-Royce cannot be insured by all insurers since they cannot all assume the same degree of risk. Our independent insurance brokers know the difference between a standard automobile and a luxury automobile. They will be able to advise you on the appropriate protections.
Rental vehicle insurance
Protections for rented vehicles are often limited. It is important to check the limitations of the contract so that you do not have to shell out the difference out of pocket. By adding additional protection for damage to borrowed or rented vehicles in the event of an accident for which you are responsible, you will avoid paying additional costs.
Electric vehicle insurance
Do you own an electric or hybrid vehicle? If so, you are enjoying the environmental benefits these vehicles offer, and you have likely received government rebates for this eco-friendly purchase. In terms of insurance, the energy used to operate your car does not change anything. However, you may be eligible for benefits! Our independent brokers can direct you to insurers offering attractive rates!
Answers to your questions
-
How do I cancel my car insurance policy?
To cancel your auto insurance policy, you can contact your AMR insurance broker, who will take care of the formalities with your current insurance company and, if necessary, find you a new insurer that better suits your needs or budget.
-
How long should you keep your auto insurance documents?
You should keep your car insurance documents for at least one year after your policy expires. They may be useful in the event of a dispute or litigation with your insurance company or another party involved in an accident.

How does car insurance work?
To protect drivers financially in the event of car accidents, insurance companies assess the risks associated with each driver and their vehicle, then set rates based on those assessments.
If an accident occurs, policyholders can file a claim with their insurance company (through their broker if applicable) and receive an amount to cover—depending on the policy they have purchased—property damage and bodily injury to the other party involved in the accident in the case of liability insurance (which is mandatory) or damage to both parties in the case of comprehensive insurance (which is optional).
-
What is car insurance for?
Car insurance protects drivers against the financial risks associated with car accidents.
In Quebec, car insurance has two components:
- Chapter A (mandatory), or “one-way” insurance as people say, which covers third party liability, i.e. property damage caused to another person’s vehicle and bodily injury (which would not be covered by the SAAQ) caused to another person.
- Chapter B (optional), also nicknamed “two-way insurance,” which covers damage to your own vehicle.
