Note that some rental agencies may assess their damages at an amount greater than the ACV of the rental vehicle and you may be liable to them for the difference. Before declining the rental agency’s CDW or LDW, you should read carefully and compare the terms of the rental agreement, the CLDI insurance certificate in your card package and any other insurance you own to decide which coverage best meets your protection needs. Out-of-Province Emergency Travel Medical Insurance (TMI) covers the Primary Cardholder, their spouse and dependent children for the first 10 days of a trip if the insured person is age 64 or under (for all cards that have TMI coverage dependent children must be at least 15 days old and under 21 years of age or under 25 years of age if a full-time student, unless they have a permanent physical or mental impairment); TMI may not cover medical procedures performed without pre-approval and may not cover certain pre-existing health/medical conditions. Certain coverages are “excess insurance” (all other sources of insurance and recovery must be exhausted before coverage is available).
