COVID-19:
Supporting you is our priority

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, Desjardins Insurance is committed to supporting you during this difficult time. We’re here for you, now and always.

Relief measures

We understand that you may be struggling at this time. That’s why we want to make things a little easier for you with our relief measures.

Helping you make deliveries

During the pandemic, are you using your vehicle to deliver meals, groceries or prescription drugs?

  • Whether you’re making deliveries as a volunteer or as the owner or employee of a restaurant, pharmacy or grocery store, we’re offering you temporary auto insurance coverage for deliveries at no extra charge.
  • This coverage applies automatically to vehicles already insured with us before April 2, 2020.
    • This coverage will not be added if deliveries are made via third party apps and services like UberEats, Skip the Dishes, Instacart and Amazon Flex. These services remain a prohibited use.

Increasing your coverage if you’re working from home 

Are you working from home for your employer during the pandemic?

  • We’ve temporarily increased our insurance for losses affecting home-based business property to $10,000 on our home insurance policies at no extra cost. That means if you’ve had to buy items like a computer or an ergonomic chair, you can work from home with peace of mind.
  • This coverage applies automatically to existing policies. There’s no need to call us.

Offering you personalized help

We understand that the COVID-19 pandemic has led to financial struggles for some of our clients. That’s why we’ve developed relief measures for our home and auto insurance customers.

If you need help, call us so we can find a solution that works for you.
