FAQ — Jevco Insurance in Quebec

Is Jevco Insurance a reliable company?

Yes, Jevco is a direct subsidiary of Intact Corporation Financière, Canada’s largest property and casualty insurer. Its financial strength is guaranteed by Intact’s capitalization, and its claims processes rely on Intact group infrastructure — one of the most recognized in the industry.

Can Jevco insure me if I have an impaired driving conviction?

Yes, Jevco is one of the rare companies accepting drivers with an impaired driving conviction. Conditions vary depending on when the conviction occurred, number of incidents and other factors. AccesDirect can assess your specific situation and submit your file to Jevco and other insurers who accept these profiles.

How long after an impaired driving conviction can you return to standard market?

For a first impaired driving conviction, it typically takes 6 to 10 years of incident-free driving to return completely to the standard market at normal rates. In the early years, only non-standard insurers like Jevco will accept the file.

Is Jevco available in all regions of Quebec?

Yes, Jevco operates throughout Quebec via a dense network of partner independent brokers. AccesDirect can obtain a Jevco quote for you regardless of your region, from urban centres to remote rural areas.

My licence was suspended — Can Jevco insure me when I get it back?

Yes, Jevco can insure drivers returning to the road after a licence suspension. Your premium will be higher, but Jevco offers legal coverage that allows you to drive on Quebec roads in compliance with the law. AccesDirect explains the specific conditions based on the length and reason for the suspension.

How is claims service handled at Jevco?

Jevco relies on Intact’s service network for claims processing. The claims centre is available 24/7. The strength of this system is Intact’s network scale: thousands of partner body shops and claims adjusters throughout Quebec. Service is provided in French.

What is the difference between Jevco and Intact for auto insurance?

Intact serves the standard market (drivers without major issues), while Jevco focuses on the non-standard market. Jevco is the entry point for difficult-to-insure drivers who wish to eventually migrate to Intact once their file improves. This affiliation facilitates the transition when the time comes.

Does Jevco offer collision coverage for difficult files?

Yes, depending on your driver profile and vehicle, Jevco can offer collision coverage (damage to your own vehicle in case of accident) in addition to mandatory liability. The deductible will generally be higher and the premium will reflect the increased risk of your file.

Does Jevco perform strict SAAQ file checks?

Yes, like all auto insurers in Quebec, Jevco consults your SAAQ driving record during underwriting and at each renewal. This is why it is essential to be transparent with your AccesDirect broker about your complete driving history to receive an accurate quote and avoid any future cancellation.
