What is the standard deductible amount for DCPD coverage in Ontario?

In Ontario, the standard deductible amount for Direct Compensation – Property Damage (DCPD) coverage is typically set at $0. This means that when a driver files a claim for property damage under this coverage, they do not have to pay a deductible out of their own pocket, allowing for a smoother claims process. DCPD is designed to ensure that individuals can recover losses from their own insurance company without the need to navigate complexities that might arise from determining fault in an accident. This system encourages drivers to be compensated efficiently, reducing the financial burden on them at the time of the claim.

Other amounts might be set in some policies or special cases, but the standard offering under Ontario's automobile insurance model emphasizes zero deductibles for DCPD to provide more immediate support to those involved in accidents.
