to learn Desjardins\u2019 strengths and weaknesses and if it is a good fit for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"product-overview\">Product

id=\"features\">Features<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"easy-hassle-free-claim-process\">Easy, Hassle-Free Claim Process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You can make a claim by calling Desjardins Insurance phone number 1-888-785-5502.

Once you set up an account, you can use the tool to manage your insurance policy online. You can also use your Desjardins auto insurance login details to file a claim from anywhere, at any time. What\u2019s more, the tool gives you estimates for different vehicles \u2014 a feature that can come in handy when buying a new car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"website\">Website<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins\u2019 website might not win any awards for its looks. But, what it lacks in looks, it makes up for in content. Filled with tons of useful information, including prevention tips for your car, it helps keep you safe on Canadian roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"signature-feature-trouble-free-option\">Signature Feature \u2014 Trouble-Free Option<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Add&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.desjardinsgeneralinsurance.com\/auto-insurance\/coverage\/optional\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this special add-on<\/a>&nbsp;to your Desjardins insurance car quote and enjoy access to the following three most popular optional coverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Loss of Use<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 It covers your expenses to rent a car or use an alternate mode of transportation, such as a taxi or public transit if yours is no longer drivable.<\/li><li><strong>Liability for Damage to Non-Owned Automobiles<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Also known as rental vehicle coverage, it protects you when you rent a car in Canada or the US.<\/li><li><strong>Emergency Road Service<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 If you are left stranded on the road, Desjardins will reimburse you up to $50 per occurrence for emergency road services, including towing, fuel delivery, tire replacement service, and more.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"financial-strength\">Financial Strength<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins holds an \u201cAA1\u201d Moody\u2019s rating and an \u201cA+\u201d Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s rating. This indicates that Desjardins Car Insurance company won\u2019t look for excuses when you make a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group box2\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">AWN Auto Parts<br><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1872047&amp;u=2574114&amp;m=116396&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\">Free Shipping On All orders over $1OO <\/a>auto parts and accessories<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-coverages-available\">Types of Coverages Available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like other top players, Desjardins provides all auto insurance coverages that are standard in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/\"><strong>Canadian auto insurance industry<\/strong><\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/insights\/third-party-liability-insurance\/\"><strong>third-party liability coverage<\/strong><\/a>, collision or upset coverage, accident insurance coverage, comprehensive coverage, direct-compensation coverage (DPCD), and uninsured automobile coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these, it offers a wide range of add-ons you can tack on your auto insurance policy. Most of these options will increase your premium, of course. But they can also help you personalize your Desjardins auto insurance contract so that it perfectly fits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-year-new-vehicle-protection\">5-Year New Vehicle Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Cars depreciate quickly, especially new ones. With this coverage, you can reduce your financial burden if your baby gets totalled or damaged in a road accident within 5 years of purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of a total loss, Desjardins will pay you the value of your new car, minus any deductible. In case of a partial loss, your car will be repaired with original parts, as long as you had added this option to your Desjardins insurance quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"rental-vehicle-coverage\">Rental Vehicle Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This add-on gives you peace of mind when you rent or borrow a vehicle for personal use in Canada or the US. If you are involved in an accident, you know Desjardins\u2019 got your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"accident-free-protection\">Accident-Free Protection<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t want your monthly premium to increase because of your first at-fault accident? Simply add accident forgiveness coverage to your Desjardins insurance auto quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"zero-deductible-coverage\">Zero Deductible Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Many top-ranking Canadian auto insurers offer this optional coverage, and Desjardins is no different. Zero deductible coverage means that you won\u2019t have to meet a certain balance before your auto insurer steps in. Such plans typically have higher premiums than deductible plans, since you don\u2019t share the risk with the insurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"leisure-and-recreational-vehicle-coverage\">Leisure and Recreational Vehicle Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you prefer touring or cruising, Desjardins motorcycle insurance might just be the coverage you need. Besides it, the insurer also provides coverage for camping trailers, motorhomes, and truck trailers. If you\u2019re into off-road adventures instead, check out Desjardins watercraft, ATV, or snowmobile coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"family-protection-coverage\">Family Protection Coverage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides additional protection in case you or someone else in your family is injured or killed in a road accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-relation-between-desjardins-and-state-farm-in-canada\">The Relation Between Desjardins and State Farm in Canada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins purchased State Farm\u2019s Canadian insurance branch in January 2015, making it the second-largest property and casualty (P&amp;C) insurer in Canada. According to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancebusinessmag.com\/ca\/news\/breaking-news\/state-farm-canada-to-rebrand-as-desjardins-insurance-85625.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Insurance Business Canada<\/a>, the brand transition officially commenced on May 1, 2018, while the date for its completion is Dec 31, 2019. Till then, State Farm\u2019s Canadian customers will be served by their present agents, who will eventually become a part of the Desjardins brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-insurance-customer-service-ratings\">Desjardins Insurance Customer Service Ratings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins\u2019 customer service ratings are nothing to shout about.

However, the insurer could only manage a score of 1.5 out of 5 on Insureye, an independent auto insurance website. That said, we advise not taking this to heart, since there\u2019s a definite negative bias on such sites. Arguably, this is because consumers are more likely to share a negative experience about Desjardins\u2019 customer service than a positive one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"available-discounts\">Available Discounts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins auto insurance reviews show that it offers a wide range of discounts, perhaps more than what most Canadian auto insurers offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multiple-Vehicle Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Have more than one car? Get all of them insured with Desjardins and save big time on insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Safe-Driving Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Most top auto insurers in Canada offer this discount, and Desjardins is no exception. You can participate in the Ajusto Program to shave precious dollars off of your car insurance. Desjardins rewards drivers once they complete 100 days of trips and drive 100 kilometres. You can save up to 25% through the Ajusto Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Loyalty Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Desjardins is among a handful of Canadian auto insurers that reward loyalty, even if it was toward another car insurer. If you\u2019ve been with the same company for 3 years or more, expect a handsome discount on the switchover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Multi-Line Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Pair Desjardins\u2019 home and auto insurance and win a discount on both coverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hybrid Vehicles Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Buy an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/insights\/electric-cars-statistics\/\"><strong>electric or hybrid<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;car and Desjardins will reward you for your environmental awareness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Students Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Are you under 25 and a full-time student or a recent graduate? Congratulations! Car insurance just got cheaper for you, by up to 10%, thanks to Desjardins\u2019 special discount for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Winter Tires Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 You can lower your Desjardins auto insurance quote by 5% by installing quality winter tires (i.e., ones marked with a snowflake symbol) during the cold season.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tracanada.ca\/files\/TRAC_winter_tire_report_2016-compressed2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to the Rubber Association of Canada<\/a>, these tires offer up to 50% more traction compared to all-seasons, which in turn significantly reduces the risk of a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/insights\/winter-driving-statistics\/\"><strong>winter car accident<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garage Parking Discount<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 Park your car in a garage or a private driveway instead of the street and stop your premium from dropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-auto-insurance-rates-comparison\">Desjardins Auto Insurance Rates Comparison<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins is one of the more well-known names in the Canadian auto industry, but the main question is \u2014 does it offer dependable car insurance at a reasonable price?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, the answer is \u2014 yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out the cost-effectiveness of Desjardins\u2019 auto insurance products, we gathered a quote in Calgary. At $137 a month, its Calgary quote was the cheapest around. Our research shows that this was the case with Desjardins insurance quote we got in Ontario as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, it was not just&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/by-province\/car-insurance-in-ontario\/\"><strong>Ontario<\/strong><\/a>, Desjardins comes across as an affordable insurer in other Canadian provinces as well. In other words, if cost is the single-most-important factor when buying your car insurance, you should definitely include Desjardins in your list, regardless of where you live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our referenced driver in Calgary was a 40-year-old single male with a clean record, driving a 2018 Honda Civic Sedan SE averaging 15,000 kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-insurance-compared-to-its-main-rivals\">Desjardins Insurance Compared to its Main Rivals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group box2\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-vs-rbc-insurance\">Desjardins vs RBC Insurance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to customer service, RBC does better in 2019 J.D. Power\u2019s Canada study while Dejardins was on the front page of BBB\u2019s website. The former earned an impressive four-star rating in Ontario in the J.D. Power\u2019s study, whereas Desjardins came last. BBB, on the other hand, gave the latter the highest-possible rating of \u201cA+\u201d but awarded RBC only a \u201cB-\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Desjardins\u2019 car insurance products are easier on the pocket than RBC\u2019s. And as far as financial health is concerned, both are in a robust shape. RBC received an \u201cA\u201d rating from A.M. Best while Desjardins grabbed an \u201cAA1\u201d Moody\u2019s rating and an \u201cA+\u201d Standard &amp; Poor\u2019s rating. In simple English, this means both insurers have a strong ability to pay claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, put Desjardins Group Insurance above&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/reviews\/rbc-insurance\/\"><strong>RBC<\/strong><\/a>, if you want the best bang for your buck, and below it, if your priority is quality customer service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group box2\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-vs-aviva-insurance\">Desjardins vs Aviva Insurance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For many of us, auto insurance comes down primarily to cost. If that\u2019s true for yourself as well, both Desjardins and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/reviews\/aviva-insurance\/\"><strong>Aviva<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;should be on your list since both offer cost-effective insurance. Desjardins\u2019 car insurance quote is slightly cheaper (in most places), although Aviva leads by a decent margin in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you value customer service, you might want to avoid both. Aviva\u2019s record in J.D. Power\u2019s Canada study is probably as bad as it gets, coming last in the Atlantic and Alberta regions, second-to-last in Quebec, and third-last in Ontario. Desjardins Auto Insurance, on the other hand, is last in Ontario and third-last in Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins, unlike Aviva, offers usage-based car insurance coverage through the Ajusto program. However, ride-sharing coverage is something that you will only get with the latter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between Desjardins and Aviva, the choice really boils down to who is cheaper in your city and whether you need ride-sharing coverage or not.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group box2\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"desjardins-vs-intact-insurance\">Desjardins vs Intact Insurance<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins delivers a much better bargain than Intact across Canada. For instance, the Desjardins Insurance quote in Edmonton is a whopping 49% cheaper than Intact\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins also offers more discounts than Intact, which is a little surprising. One would think the latter might want to cut its customers some slack, considering that it is not the most affordable insurer around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Intact puts in a comparatively better show in the customer service department. It came seventh out of a dozen insurers reviewed in the J.D. Power\u2019s Canada study for the Ontario region, while Desjardins Car Insurance came a cropper with a last-position finish. In other provinces, Intact\u2019s performance is a mixed bag. While it grabbed the second-highest position in the Atlantic region, it came third and second-to-last in Quebec and Alberta, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, Intact enjoys a definite advantage when it comes to ride-sharing and car-sharing coverage. It offers not only Uber ride-sharing insurance but Turo Insurance as well \u2014 aimed at those who want to monetize on their car\u2019s idle time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To sum it up, consider purchasing car insurance from Desjardins if you are looking for a cost-efficient auto insurer. On the other hand, Intact appears to be a great option for car-sharing and ride-sharing insurance. You might also want to look at Intact if you live in the Atlantic region and don\u2019t mind paying extra for top-notch customer service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group box2\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">AWN Auto Parts<br><a href=\"https:\/\/shareasale.com\/r.cfm?b=1872047&amp;u=2574114&amp;m=116396&amp;urllink=&amp;afftrack=\">Free Shipping On All orders over $1OO <\/a>auto parts and accessories<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"best-alternatives\">Best Alternatives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If Desjardins\u2019 customer service ratings tick you off, you should check out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/reviews\/the-co-operators-insurance\/\"><strong>The Co-operators<\/strong><\/a>. However, mind you, it will set you back by a few dollars, since its rates are a bit expensive. You can also consider The Personal\u2019s insurance \u2014 a part of the Desjardins group \u2014 especially if you live in Ontario or Quebec. It enjoys top ratings in these two provinces and is just as cost-effective as Desjardins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, if you are looking for ride-sharing coverage, start your search with Aviva or Intact, depending on whether you want&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/carsurance.net\/canada\/insights\/lyft-vs-uber\/\"><strong>Lyft or Uber<\/strong><\/a> coverage. Sonnet, in contrast, might be perfect for all those who don\u2019t mind paying extra for a great set of online tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the best course of action would be to get a Desjardins quote and check how it stacks up against the competition. Only then will you know for sure if this auto insurer is right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"our-expert-verdict\">Our Expert Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Desjardins is one of the lowest-cost providers in a fiercely competitive Canadian auto insurance industry. It offers a full suite of optional coverages and is in good shape, financially speaking. On top of all this, Desjardins\u2019 insurance claims process is quick and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Desjardins performs poorly in customer service. For this reason, we can\u2019t give a universal recommendation for it. Nonetheless, if your priority is affordable auto insurance and you\u2019re patient with Desjardins\u2019 customer service, you might be in for a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\" id=\"people-also-ask\">People Also Ask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block box\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1642182603486\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><em>What does insurance from Desjardins cover?<\/em><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Besides providing car insurance, Desjardins offers home insurance, pet insurance, and recreational and leisure vehicle insurance.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block box\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1642182611072\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><em>Is Certas owned by Desjardins?<\/em><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">According to Desjardins auto insurance reviews, the answer is yes.
