REPLACEMENT INSURANCE OR ENDORSEMENT 43E?

The 1st October 2010, the replacement guarantee, sold by dealerships and brokers, was replaced by replacement insurance. Endorsement 43E - Change to loss payment - is still in effect. If you desire replacement cost coverage for your vehicle, you can choose either of these two products.

Both products have a number of similarities:

  • They complete your automobile insurance policy. Without the initial policy you cannot get replacement insurance or Endorsement 43.
  • They are both insurance products offered by insurance companies.
  • They pay out an indemnity without depreciation in the event of loss (total or partial).

Both products also have their differences:
