Why do I pay my deductible?

The deductible is the amount you agree to pay toward the cost of any claim you make and the deductible, if any, is shown on the Certificate of Automobile Insurance. The deductible applies each time a claim is made and separately to each automobile that is insured. Some sections of coverage do not have a deductible. For example, if you are involved in a motor vehicle accident in Ontario involving another vehicle and the other vehicle is “at-fault” for the accident, and if the other vehicle has valid insurance you will typically not be required to pay a deductible.
