RENEWAL TIP

Before renewing, your insurance company may ask you to provide proof your contractors or subcontractors have the proper insurance. To save time, when you start working with any contractor, request a certificate of insurance up front and retain a copy of the certificate with your insurance paperwork.

Renewing Your Policy

The length, or term, of an insurance policy can vary depending on your insurance company. When the term ends, if you want to continue to have coverage, you have to renew the policy. Contact your broker or agent well before the renewal date and ask what is needed to begin the renewal process.
Research from across Canada has documented cases of voluntary sector organizations being denied coverage for their programs when they went to renew, even though they had no claims. By taking a proactive approach to the renewal of your insurance, you can help avoid any surprises at renewal time and, if needed, you can work with your broker or agent to find alternate solutions to meet your insurance needs.
