Is Intact Insurance’s LibrEspace FADOQ program suitable for everyone?
The benefits offered by Intact Insurance are very attractive, and we encourage some of our clients to become members of FADOQ to take advantage of their many benefits. However, you should know that several other auto and home insurers also offer similar privileges.
At Assurances Multi-Risques, we believe that Intact Insurance’s LibrEspace FADOQ program can be beneficial, but not for everyone. Depending on your profile and location, Intact Insurance may not be the best insurer for you. And being insured with this insurer does not guarantee you the best premiums and coverage for your car and home.
To find the best insurer for your needs and situation, contact an independent insurance broker who works with several different insurers; they can compare their offers for you!
In the meantime, Intact Insurance customers aged 50 and over who are not members of FADOQ should ask their current insurer or a Assurances Multi-Risques broker to register them with this federation so they can enjoy the benefits of the LibrEspace FADOQ program.
