REPLACEMENT INSURANCE OR ENDORSEMENT 43E?

If you are thinking of aquiring a replacement guarantee for your vehicle, you have the choice between Replacement Insurance (Q.P.F. No. 5) and Endorsment 43 Change to Loss Payment (F.A.Q. no. 43).

Both products have a number of similarities:

• They complete your automobile insurance policy. Without the initial policy you can not get replacement insurance or Endorsement 43.

• They are both insurance products offered by insurance companies.

• They pay out an indemnity without depreciation in the event of loss (total or partial).

Both products also have their differences:
