Make sure your investment is well protected

Get made-to-measure home insurance

With Desjardins General Insurance, you benefit from comprehensive coverage plus you can personalize your home insurance to suit your situation.

Civil liability insurance

Protect yourself in the event of accidental damage or injury to others, for instance

Your paper carrier trips on the broom you forgot on the stairs and sues you for the injuries he sustained.

All-risk insurance

Protect your personal property against:

Losses caused by a fire
Theft
Certain types of water damage
Vandalism

Other optional coverage may be added to your policy to suit your needs, for instance

Your pool collapses under the weight of snow. With above-ground pool coverage, we cover repair or replacement costs*.

Did you know?

When you travel, your home insurance covers your property and your liability, no matter where you are.
It’s important to make an inventory of your property as it will greatly simplify the claims process after a loss.

If your car is stolen:

any accessories (like seat covers and ski racks) are covered by your auto insurance
while items left in the vehicle (like your camera or laptop) are covered by your home insurance
