Is Insurance Mandatory in Edmonton?
The range of insurance you need for your first home or your personal items in your apartment is a personal decision. While it’s not the law to have home insurance, it’s mandatory to have basic car coverage in Edmonton.
If you take out a mortgage for your home or finance your car, the lender or bank will require you to have proper insurance coverage. The lender’s details will be stated in the contract terms.
For other types of insurance, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth the cost. Insurance is a great investment and most people don’t have the disposable income to replace their belongings, rebuild their homes, or repair their vehicles.
What’s Covered by Insurance in Edmonton?
There are so many insurance options to explore in Edmonton, it can be overwhelming. A basic auto policy is straightforward. But what if you need multiple insurance policies for your home, business, or condo rental?
You may also want to change your coverage after major renovations to your home or plan out protection for a new bike. We’ll help you find the best coverage to suit your needs, which will depend on your insurance provider, your lifestyle, and your budget.
Government regulations in Alberta sometimes control your coverage options and how much you’ll pay on an annual basis. At Sharp, we keep you up-to-date on government legislation changes and how it may impact your life.

What to Know Before Buying Insurance in Edmonton
Buying your first home is a big deal, and so are your insurance policy selections. Included in your decision making is figuring out your loss settlement, your policy limits, and your coverage options.
Reading through your insurance policy is recommended but often time consuming. We will help you sift through the fine print and get you to what’s important for you – based on your unique needs.
What is a Loss Settlement Option?
A loss settlement option provides funds paid out to you by your insurance company after a loss or damage to an item.
3 Loss Settlement Options:
Actual Cash Value
also called the “fair market value,” or the purchase price minus depreciation. Actual cash value generally has a lower premium than the replacement cost option.
Replacement Cost
it will cover the cost of replacement, up to a certain amount.
Agreed Value
this is generally for specialty items like a classic car, artwork, or jewelry collection where the payout value is agreed upon beforehand and that’s what will be paid out.

You have a choice as to what your limit is. Coverage options depend on what type of insurance you’re dealing with:
- Home
