Overview
In Alberta, basic insurance (accident and liability insurance) is required by law. Additional insurance coverage (eg comprehensive and comprehensive) is not required by law.
To ensure that basic services are affordable and accessible, Alberta has set a maximum amount that can be charged for basic services. While no maximum additional coverage is set as it is not required by law, the Motor Insurance Rates Council (AIRB) regulates car insurance rates in Alberta. AIRB approves all assessment programs for insurance companies selling basic and supplementary insurance to Albertans. AIRB has the legal authority to approve, reject, or request changes to submissions to the Alberta Motor Insurance Company award rating program. Visit the auto insurance rate board website for more information.
Insurance Rating Factors
Framework The Car Insurance Rating Factors Framework is used by insurance inspectors to make decisions about which auto insurance rating factors are acceptable in Alberta. It is also intended to promote openness and transparency about the decision-making process for both insurance companies and Albertans.

About Endorsement
Endorsements (also known as tabs) modify existing insurance contracts by adding, removing, excluding or changing the original policy. In Alberta, motorcycle affiliation forms fall into two categories:
1. Standard Confirmation Forms (SEF) approved for use by the Insurance Regulatory Authority; and
2. Conditionally Approved Endorsement (CAE) is a form of non-standard endorsement that is approved by insurance regulators to be used by certain insurance companies that want to meet the specific needs of their clients.
As per Section 551 of the Insurance Act: "No insurance company may use any application form, policy, supplement or revaluation or renewal of certificate relating to vehicle insurance other than the form approved by the Insurance Regulator."
(CAE)
The following list of certificates does not include the CAEs that are permitted to be used by individual insurance companies. The Bulletin (PDF, 76 KB) describes the information insurance companies need for consideration by insurance regulators to approve CAEs. A copy of the CAE can be obtained directly from the insurance company. If you would like to verify whether a non-standard CAE has been approved for use by insurance regulators, please contact us.
