To err is human.to forgive divine

Accidents happen. That's why we need insurance.

Not surprisingly, most accidents involve automobiles - after all, there are a lot of them and they often move fast!

TD Meloche Monnex is pleased to offer a new product that will help alleviate premium adjustments following an at-fault accident, regardless of the amount of damage. It's called Accident Forgiveness. When a policy renews, the premium will not increase as a result of an at-fault accident. Other factors may have an impact. but the accident will not.

When it comes to auto and home insurance, TD Meloche Monnex makes your life easier! Thanks to an agreement with NSAC, our alumni have access to a wide-range of special privileges including exceptional service and high quality products. Your special status as a member entitles you to preferred group rates and a number of unique benefits.

Contact TD Meloche Monnex for more details!
