3. I BOUGHT A PRODUCT WITH A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY AND BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR FROM THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE ITEM. IT IS NOW JUST INTO YEAR THREE AND IT HAS STOPPED WORKING, AM I COVERED?
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.
4. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PRODUCT ON E-BAY AND PAID THROUGH PAY-PAL WHICH CHARGES THE AMOUNT TO MY SCOTIABANK CARD, IS THIS ITEM COVERED FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY?
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.
5. I PURCHASED A PRODUCT SIX MONTHS AGO. IT HAD A ONE YEAR WARRANTY BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. THE MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. WILL THIS BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?
No, as the original manufacturer is responsible during the initial warranty period.

2. WHO IS COVERED?
Insured persons under this coverage include:
3. I AM A CARDHOLDER AND NEED TO RENT A CAR. IF I RENT THE CAR BUT HAVE MY FRIEND DRIVE FOR ME WILL SHE BE COVERED?
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.
4. I AM RENTING A CAR ONLINE BUT HAVE TO PRE-PAY TO THE ONLINE TRAVEL AGENCY TO GET A DISCOUNT. IF I PAY WITH MY CARD WILL I BE ELIGIBLE FOR COVERAGE?
You will be eligible for coverage if:
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.
5. IF I AM RENTING A CAR AND PLAN ON DRIVING IT THROUGH MULTIPLE COUNTRIES, WILL I BE COVERED?
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.
6. I AM PLANNING A TRIP AND WANT TO RENT A LUXURY CAR. WILL THIS CAR BE COVERED?
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.
7. DOES THE RENTAL AGENCY NEED TO TAKE A CARD IMPRINT AT THE TIME I TAKE POSSESSION OF THE CAR? WHAT IF THERE IS NO IMPRINT TAKEN?
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.
8. I AM RENTING THE CAR FOR 48 DAYS. CAN I BRING IT BACK AND RENT IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME?
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.
9. WHAT IF I RUN INTO A TELEPHONE POLE OR OTHER OBJECT? AM I COVERED FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY?
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.
10. WHAT IF I INJURE SOMEONE OR ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IS INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?
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.
11. I AM RENTING A VAN TO SHUTTLE A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO AN EVENT. AM I COVERED FOR RENTAL CAR COLLISION/LOSS DAMAGE INSURANCE?
The van would be covered if:
Coverage would not be available if the vehicle cost is sponsored or a third-party payment is made for driving the group.
12. I MAY BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ROADS THAT ARE NOT PLOUGHED AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR. WILL I HAVE COVERAGE?

13. ARE TIRES COVERED BY RENTAL CAR COLLISION / LOSS DAMAGE?
Tires are only covered if the damage is due to an insured cause, such as a collision or theft.
14. WHAT TYPES OF VEHICLES DOES AUTO RENTAL COLLISION / LOSS DAMAGE COVER?
15. WILL MY OWN CAR INSURANCE COVER DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL CAR?
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.
Please see the Certificate of Insurance for detailed terms, limitations and exclusions.

Purchase Protection is available with the following Desjardins cards:

3. THE PRODUCT THAT I PURCHASED WITH MY CARD TWO MONTHS AGO HAS BEEN LOST. I WENT TO THE STORE AND THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT THAT STORE. WHAT AMOUNT WILL I BE REFUNDED IF I PROVIDE THE REQUIRED PROOF OF CLAIM?
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.
4. I PURCHASED A GIFT WITH MY CARD AND IT WAS IRREPARABLY DAMAGED TWO MONTHS AFTERWARDS. IS THIS COVERED?
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.
5. ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED A PRODUCT IT WAS DROPPED AND BROKEN. WHAT PROOF DO I HAVE TO GIVE FOR MY CLAIM TO BE APPROVED?

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

3. I BOUGHT A PRODUCT WITH A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY AND BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR FROM THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE ITEM. IT IS NOW JUST INTO YEAR THREE AND IT HAS STOPPED WORKING, AM I COVERED?
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.
4. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PRODUCT ON E-BAY AND PAID THROUGH PAYPAL WHICH CHARGES THE AMOUNT TO MY DESJARDINS CARD, IS THIS ITEM COVERED FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY?

5. I PURCHASED A PRODUCT SIX MONTHS AGO. IT HAD A ONE YEAR WARRANTY BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. THE MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. WILL THIS BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?

5. IF I AM RENTING A CAR AND PLAN ON DRIVING IT THROUGH MULTIPLE COUNTRIES, WILL I BE COVERED?
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 account, 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.
6. I AM PLANNING A TRIP AND WANT TO RENT A LUXURY CAR. WILL THIS CAR BE COVERED?
Luxury rental cars are not covered. They fall under the category of cars over $65,000.00 that are excluded from coverage in the Certificate of Insurance. Please review the Certificate of Insurance for detailed terms, limitations and exclusions.
7. I AM RENTING THE CAR FOR 31 DAYS. CAN I BRING IT BACK AND RENT IT AGAIN FOR ANOTHER PERIOD OF TIME?
The Certificate of Insurance states that the rental period cannot be extended by renewing the rental agreement or by taking out a new rental agreement with the same or another rental agency. 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.
8. WHAT IF I RUN INTO A TELEPHONE POLE OR OTHER OBJECT? AM I COVERED FOR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY?
Car Rental Collision/Loss Damage Waiver 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.
9. WHAT IF I INJURE SOMEONE OR ONE OF THE PASSENGERS IS INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT?
Car Rental Collision/Loss Damage Waiver 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.
10. I AM RENTING A VAN TO SHUTTLE A GROUP OF PEOPLE TO AN EVENT. AM I COVERED FOR CAR RENTAL COLLISION/LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER INSURANCE?
The van would be covered if:

11. I MAY BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON ROADS THAT ARE NOT PLOUGHED AT CERTAIN TIMES OF THE YEAR. WILL I HAVE COVERAGE?
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.
12. ARE TIRES COVERED BY CAR RENTAL COLLISION / LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER?
Tires are only covered if the damage is due to an insured cause, such as a collision or theft.
13. WHAT TYPES OF VEHICLES DOES CAR RENTAL COLLISION / LOSS DAMAGE WAIVER COVER?
The types of rental vehicles covered include cars and sports utility vehicles. Mini-vans are also covered if they are (1) for private passenger use, (2) have seating from no more than 8 occupants including the driver and, (3) are not used for hire. Covered vehicles must have a suggested retail price of less than $65,000 (including taxes). Please see the Certificate of Insurance for a detailed list of vehicles excluded from this coverage.
14. WILL MY OWN CAR INSURANCE COVER DAMAGE TO THE RENTAL CAR?
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.
Please see the Certificate of Insurance for detailed terms, limitations and exclusions.
1. WHICH CARDS INCLUDE THIS COVERAGE?
Purchase Assurance is available with the following cards:
2. WHAT IS COVERED UNDER PURCHASE ASSURANCE?
Most new items purchased with your Card are covered in the event of loss, theft or damage. Items are covered for 90 days from the purchase date.
3. THE PRODUCT THAT I PURCHASED WITH MY CARD TWO MONTHS AGO HAS BEEN LOST. I WENT TO THE STORE AND THIS PARTICULAR MODEL IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE AT THAT STORE. WHAT WILL I BE PAID IF I PROVIDE THE REQUIRED PROOF OF CLAIM?
Purchase Assurance coverage provides for replacement or reimbursement of the purchase price of the item. As a result, the administrator will either: (1) ask you to replace your product with a comparable model and send us a receipt for reimbursement or; (2) reimburse you the lesser of the replacement price or the original purchase price paid.
4. I PURCHASED A GIFT WITH MY CARD AND IT WAS IRREPARABLY DAMAGED TWO MONTHS AFTERWARDS. IS THIS COVERED?
Gifts are covered under Purchase Assurance, 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.
5. ONE WEEK AFTER I PURCHASED A PRODUCT IT WAS DROPPED AND BROKEN. WHAT PROOF DO I HAVE TO GIVE TO GET MY CLAIM PAID?
The administrator will require proof of purchase. They may also require that the broken product be returned to them for verification and substantiation of the claim.
6. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PRODUCT ON E-BAY AND PAID THROUGH PAY-PAL WHICH CHARGES THE AMOUNT TO MY CARD. IS THIS ITEM COVERED FOR PURCHASE ASSURANCE?
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 would not be covered for Purchase Assurance until it was delivered and accepted by you in undamaged condition. If it was damaged in transit/delivery, a claim should be made with the courier/post office.
See the Certificate of Insurance for detailed terms, limitations and exclusions.
1. WHICH CARDS INCLUDE THIS COVERAGE?
Extended Warranty is available with the following cards:
2. WHAT DOES EXTENDED WARRANTY INSURANCE COVER?
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:
ORIGINAL WARRANTY | EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE | TOTAL WARRANTY PERIOD |
---|---|---|
3 months | 3 months | 6 months |
6 months | 6 months | 1 year |
1 year | 1 year | 2 years |
3 years | 1 year | 4 years |
5 years | 1 year | 6 years |
3. I BOUGHT A PRODUCT WITH A ONE YEAR MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY AND BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR FROM THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED THE ITEM. IT IS NOW JUST INTO YEAR THREE AND IT HAS STOPPED WORKING, AM I COVERED?
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.
4. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW PRODUCT ON E-BAY AND PAID THROUGH PAY-PAL WHICH CHARGES THE AMOUNT TO MY PRESIDENT’S CHOICE FINANCIAL MASTERCARD, IS THIS ITEM COVERED FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY?
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.
5. I PURCHASED A PRODUCT SIX MONTHS AGO. IT HAD A ONE YEAR WARRANTY BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. THE MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. WILL THIS BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY?
No, as the original manufacturer is responsible during the initial warranty period.
