Deductible Buydown

Deductible Buydown

Reduce what you pay out of pocket when something goes wrong — and keep your operation moving.

Your Deductible Shouldn't Stop Your Trucks

Deductibles on commercial truck insurance can be significant — and in a no-fault province like Ontario, you could be stuck paying yours even when the accident wasn't your fault. Deductible Buydown coverage reduces what you pay out of pocket when something goes wrong, protecting your cash flow and keeping your operation moving.

How It Works

You choose a buydown amount — the deductible level you can comfortably absorb. When an accident occurs, the buydown coverage pays the difference between your standard deductible and your buydown amount.

Example

Your deductible is $5,000. You buy it down to $1,000.

Accident causes$14,500 in damage
Buydown pays$4,000
Primary insurer pays$9,500
You pay$1,000

Even if the damage falls below your deductible, you're still protected — you only pay your buydown amount, not the full repair cost.
