Replacement Cost insurance vs Actual Cash Value

Replacement Cost insurance vs Actual Cash Value

What is the difference?

Replacement cost insurance pays for the full value of the item.  In other words, it’s new for old.  On the other hand, actual cash value insurance pays for the depreciated value of the item.  For example, your bike which you paid $1,000 10 years ago was stolen, under the replacement cost wording, the insurer would replace your bike with a new bike of like kind and quality.  Alternatively, under the actual cash value wording, the $1,000 bike would be depreciated based on its 10 year life span.

    After talking to many different insurance companies, I spoke to Ensurco New Business Team. They returned my call quickly, provided the best rate and helped me set up a home insurance policy within an hour. Great service!

    I recently sent Ensurco an email requesting changes to my auto policy. I got a quick response. All the changes were completed in a timely manner and I received a detailed email with my billing schedule attached.

    Amazing staff to deal with. Very fast and efficient. My broker explained the difference between condo insurance and condo corporation insurance.  Thank you!

    I was in a time crunch to get an auto application done on a Friday afternoon as I was picking up a new car. I called my customer service rep at Ensurco and she was able to get me a quote, provide an application and even send confirmation to my dealer with a liability slip. Keep up the good work.

    As a high risk driver, I was looking for a good rate as well as good coverage. I spoke to an Ensurco broker who helped me set up a 6 month policy so that I can eventually move to a regular market at less premium. You guys came through when no one else cared.  Thank you so much for your help. :)

    When my son and I decided to travel to Calgary for a week, I called my broker at Ensurco who was able to provide me with great coverage at a really good price. I got my travel documents by email within 10 minutes. Exceptional timing!

    Claims service! Most people dread talking to an insurance company or broker to report a claim. But I recently called my insurance broker at Ensurco about a possible water damage claim. He was able to guide me through the process.  The decision was mine as to whether or not I would proceed with the claim.  If so, he explained that he could connect me directly with the insurance company adjuster and resolve the issue. Great advice and great service.  Thanks Ensurco!
