Quebec Transportation Laws and Compliance — Expert Guidance You Can Rely On

A-25 Civil Liability Insurance (Automobile Insurance Act)

Vehicles operating in Quebec must carry at least $50,000 in civil liability insurance. In practice, many commercial operators carry 1 Million or more in liability insurance to reflect real exposures and meet municipal permit and shipper/broker contract requirements.

Qubit Insurance understands local laws and aligns insurance programs accordingly.

CTQ (Transport Quebec) Insurance Requirements

Insurance limits, forms, and endorsements are set by law under the Civil Code and the Automobile Insurance Act, not by municipalities. The Commission des transports du Québec (CTQ) applies the same requirements province-wide.

We verify the applicable provincial or state requirements and issue permit-ready insurance certificates/endorsements prior to binding to avoid delays at facilities or inspections.

Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Insurance Considerations

TDG obligations — training, documentation, safety marks, emergency response policies, and insurance/financial responsibility — depend on UN ClassNameification, shipment quantity (Less than Truckload or Full Truckload), and route.

We tailor insurance coverage to match the specific commodity risks and contract terms, coordinating 24/7 emergency response where required by regulation or agreement.

U.S. Cross-Border Insurance Filings and Financial Responsibility

Interstate carriers or Cross border carriers typically require federal financial responsibility with an MCS-90 insurance endorsement. Common minimums include:

• $750,000 for for-hire nonhazardous property
• $1,000,000 for oil/hazardous substances (non-specified categories)
• $5,000,000 for specified hazardous materials

MCS-90 is a federal financial responsibility endorsement for public protection; it is not cargo insurance. Requirements vary by commodity, vehicle/seating, route, and jurisdiction.

We confirm specifics before binding and support ongoing insurance filings to help maintain uninterrupted authority

Claims Support That Stays with Quebec Operators

• Claims support once the insurer's 24/7 incident intake has been filed, with rapid broker follow-up to assist the client
• Single-point insurance claims advocate coordinating adjusters, repair facilities, and third parties
• Evidence/documentation support (statements, photos, ELD/telematics data, vendor reports)
• Clear progress updates and settlement advocacy to reduce downtime, with the option to consult special claims investigators or external experts if required
