RV enthusiasts are dedicated fans. For thousands of insureds, this recreational activity is a true passion – in fact, it’s a lifestyle!
Over the years, RVs have become increasingly popular. In 2017, RV sales increased by 13% in Québec, and there are more than five million owners Canada-wide.* Every year, the RV Show attracts thousands of visitors, both current owners eager to discover new models and future owners seeking to confirm their intention to buy.
There’s no recreation without preparation
What makes recreational vehicles so appealing? The sense of freedom that comes with travelling in an RV or trailer. To take full advantage of this, though, good preparations are a must. Before heading out on the road with their RV, your clients should carefully plan their route, reserve their places at RV sites and plan how much time they need to get to their destination.
Another essential step: getting the right insurance
For complete tranquillity on the road with their RV, your clients also need to plan for proper insurance. Designed specifically for the owners of motor homes, trailers and tent-trailers, My RV and MeTM offers a whole range of protections and benefits, including:
- Up to $100,000 for damage caused to a borrowed or rented recreational vehicle
- Travel allowance of $100 per day, up to $3,000, in the event of a loss
- Coverage up to $7,500 for movable property inside and, under certain circumstances, outside the recreational vehicle
- Deductible waived in case of major loss or hit-and-run
An indispensable tool: RV roadside assistance
RVers want to make the most of every moment aboard their vehicles, knowing they won’t be stuck by little hiccoughs along the way. Clients with My RV and Me coverage enjoy RV roadside assistance that gives them exactly what they need: peace of mind on the road.
That’s what they get with 24/7 access to roadside assistance five times a year, all across Canada and the US, including towing within a 200 km radius, wheel change, emergency gas delivery, battery boost, lockout services and winching.
