Auto Rental Collision/ Loss Damage Insurance is available with the following Desjardins cards:

• Odyssey Gold Visa
• Affinity Gold Visa
• Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege
• Platinum Visa
• Platinum Prestige Visa
• U.S. Visa
• Cash Back World Mastercard
• Odyssey World Elite Mastercard
• Business Advantage
• U.S. Business Card
• Cash Back World Elite Mastercard

Insured persons under this coverage include:

• The Cardholder
• Any other person who holds a valid driver’s license and has the Cardholder’s permission to operate the rental vehicle

Yes, if you give express permission, and your friend qualifies under the car rental company’s policies, coverage would be available as per the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Insurance.

You will be eligible for coverage if:

• The car rental is pre-paid on the Desjardins card
• The Card is provided for any additional charges when you initiate the rental

In the event of a claim, you will be asked to provide a copy of the voucher or invoice paid to the online agency indicating that the rental was paid on the Card.

The rental is governed by the terms and conditions of the car rental company. If the car rental company allows the car to be driven outside of the country of rental, it will be indicated. If there is an additional fee charged by the rental car company to allow it to be driven to specific countries and this is paid on your Desjardins card, coverage will be provided. If there is an incident in a country where the rental contract does not permit the car to be driven, there will be no coverage provided.

Luxury vehicles such as BMW, Cadillac, Lincoln and Mercedes are covered as long as they meet all other requirements of the Certificate of Insurance.

Vehicles with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $85,000 or more will not be covered. Exotic vehicles, meaning vehicles such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Bricklin, Daimler, DeLorean, Excalibur, Ferrari, Jensen, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Porsche, and Rolls Royce will not be covered.

Please review the Certificate of Insurance for detailed terms, limitations and exclusions.

Formerly rental car companies took an imprint of the card at the time of the rental to provide a security or guarantee for any loss or damage to the car. Currently they generally hold a deposit on the Card or they keep track of the Card details in their reservation system in the event of loss or damage. This is sufficient to fulfill the ‘payment guarantee’ condition.

The Certificate of Insurance states that the rental period must not exceed 48 consecutive days.   Coverage may not be extended by renewing the rental agreement or by taking out a new rental agreement with the same or another rental agency for the same vehicle or another vehicle. A full calendar day must elapse between rental periods. In the event of a claim, the claims examiner will review the circumstances and determine if the terms of the Certificate of Insurance were adhered to.

Auto Rental Collision/Loss damage insurance pays for damage to the rental car. There is no coverage for damage to property or to other vehicles. Generally the rental car company will provide third party coverage. In foreign jurisdictions you may want to clarify what coverage is provided as standard under the car rental company’s insurance.

Auto Rental Collision/Loss damage insurance only covers damage to the rental car and does not pay for any claims for injury whether or not the injured person was the person who rented the car, a passenger or a third party. You should check with your personal automobile insurer and the rental agency to ensure that you and all other drivers have adequate third party liability, personal injury and damage to property coverage.

The van would be covered if:

• It is for private use
• It has appropriate seating for up to 8 occupants (including the driver)
• You are not charging a fee to any of the occupants

Coverage would not be available if the vehicle cost is sponsored or a third-party payment is made for driving the group.

There is no coverage for operation of the vehicle on roads that are not regularly maintained. At the time of the incident, the claims examiner will contact the relevant highway authority and make the decision based on the information publicly available.

Tires are only covered if the damage is due to an insured cause, such as a collision or theft.

It depends on the province in which you live, the type of policy you have, and the country you are visiting. Each policy should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. If you are not sure of the extent of your policy's coverage, ask your insurance agent or your insurer.

Purchase Protection is available with the following Desjardins cards:

• Prepaid Visa
• Cash Back Visa

Most new items purchased with your Card are covered in the event of loss, theft or damage. Eligible items are covered for 90 days from the date of purchase.

For Odyssey World Elite and Cash Back World Elite cardholders, eligible items are covered for 120 days from the date of purchase.

For Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders, eligible items are covered for 180 days from the date of purchase.

Purchase Protection coverage provides for replacement or reimbursement of the purchase price of the item. In most cases, the administrator will ask you to replace your product with a comparable model and submit a receipt for reimbursement.   Reimbursement will be the lesser of the replacement price and the original purchase price paid.

Gifts are covered under Purchase Protection, but the Cardholder must submit the claim. Proof of purchase would have to be provided and the damaged item may need to be returned to the administrator.

The administrator will require proof of purchase. They may request a written repair estimate or may also require that the broken product be returned to them for verification and substantiation of the claim.

Some Desjardins cards offer Purchase Protection on mail-orders.   The product must be a “new item”.   The full purchase price must be charged to the account through PayPal, and it must be an insured item.   Coverage would take effect only once the item was delivered and accepted by you in undamaged condition.   Damage occurring during transit/delivery should be claimed through the courier/post office.

Please review your Certificate to determine if you would be covered in this circumstance.

Extended Warranty is available with the following Desjardins cards:

• Prepaid Visa
• Cash Back Visa     
• Cash Back Mastercard
• Odyssey Gold Visa

• Modulo Visa
• Low Rate Gold Visa

• Platinum Prestige Visa
• Cash Back World Mastercard
• Odyssey World Elite Mastercard
• Flexi Visa
• Bonus Visa
• Cash Back World Elite Mastercard

For all cards except Odyssey World Elite, Cash Back World Elite, and Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege, Extended Warranty coverage provides the cardholder with double the period of repair services provided by the original Manufacturer’s Warranty, to a maximum of one year.

Examples of the coverage period as below:

For Odyssey World Elite and Cash Back World Elite cardholders, Extended Warranty coverage provides the cardholder with double the period of repair services provided by the original Manufacturer’s Warranty, to a maximum of two years.

Examples of the coverage period as below:

For Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege, Extended Warranty coverage provides the cardholder with triple the period of repair services provided by the original Manufacturer’s Warranty, to a maximum of two years.

Examples of the coverage period as below:

The Extended Warranty coverage provides additional coverage which begins at the time the original Manufacturer’s Warranty expires. In this case, the extended warranty included with your Card would overlap with the extended warranty purchased from the store. As a result, there is no coverage available in the third year (for all cards other than Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege).

In the cases of overlap between a purchased extended warranty plan and this one, you would submit your claim to the other provider first.

If the product was a “new item” at time of purchase, and the full cost was charged to the Account through PayPal, and is an insured item it would be covered. It is covered once it is delivered and accepted by you in undamaged condition.

No, as the original manufacturer is responsible during the initial warranty period.

Mobile Device Insurance covers you for the lesser of the repair and the replacement cost of your mobile device in the event of loss, theft, mechanical breakdown or accidental damage. The benefit amount cannot exceed the depreciated value of your device at date of loss less the deductible, to a maximum of $1,000.

For Odyssey World Elite, Cash Back World Elite, and Odyssey Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders, the benefit maximum is $1,500.

You are eligible for this insurance if:

• You charge the purchase price of the mobile device to your account and you activate your device with a cellular data provider, or
• You charge any portion of the purchase price that is required to be paid up-front to your account, fund the balance of the purchase price through a plan, and charge all monthly wireless bill payments to your account for the duration of your plan, or
• You fund the purchase price of the mobile device through a plan with your provider and charge all monthly bill payments to your account.

Coverage begins the later of:

• 30 days from the date of purchase
• The date the first monthly payment is charged to your account

Coverage ends on the earliest of:

• 2 years from the date of purchase
• The date your card is cancelled, closed, or no longer in good standing
• The date one of your monthly payments is not charged to the card (if you’re funding the price of the device through your wireless plan).

For every completed month since the date of purchase, 2% of the purchase price is deducted from the value of your mobile device.

The deductible is based on the purchase price (less taxes) of your mobile device, as determined by the following table:

Purchase Price $800

Less depreciation cost – $128 (2% X 8 months X $800)

Depreciated value = $672

Less deductible – $100

Maximum reimbursement = $572

Yes, you must obtain approval before you proceed with any repair or replacement services. To do so, you can file a claim here on our website. In the event of a loss or theft, you must notify your provider to suspend your wireless services within 48 hours of the date of loss. Also, in the event of a theft, you must notify the police within seven days of the date of loss.

For mechanical failure and accidental damage claims, you must get a written repair estimate from a repair facility authorized by the original mobile device manufacturer.

Once the insurer approves your claim, you can proceed with the repair or replacement of your mobile device. Benefits will be paid upon receipt of evidence that the repair or replacement is charged to your account.

Extended Warranty coverage provides the cardholder with double the period of repair services provided by the original Manufacturer’s Warranty, up to one full year. The term of extended coverage begins upon the expiration of the original Manufacturer’s Warranty.

Here’s some examples:

The Extended Warranty coverage provides one year of coverage from the expiration of the original Manufacturer’s Warranty. In this case, the extended warranty included with your Card would overlap with the extended warranty purchased from the store. As a result, there is no coverage available in the third year. If you did have a claim during the extended warranty period, you would submit your claim to the provider of the extended warranty product that you purchased first.

If the cost of the product was fully charged to the account through Pay-Pal and is an insured item it would be covered. It is covered once it is delivered and accepted by you in undamaged condition.

No, as the original manufacturer is responsible during the initial warranty period.
