Living in Saskatchewan comes with its own unique set of rewards and challenges, from big-sky vistas to unpredictable prairie weather. When it comes to protecting your most valuable assets, having a neighbour who understands the local landscape makes all the difference.
Insurance for what matters most
“With our wide-open prairies, we’re very susceptible to wind losses. Hail and water are also major concerns,” says Lori Madsen, general manager of insurance at CAA Saskatchewan.
Where your vehicle is concerned, while Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) provides the mandatory base-plate insurance for every driver, CAA offers Auto Extension Insurance to add that extra layer of protection.
“You’ve spent your hard-earned money saving up to buy that vehicle; a moment’s inattention can take that away from you, not to mention your income,” Madsen says. “A package policy tops up what’s available for you under your plates. There’s coverage for potholes, tires, rekeying costs. A family security endorsement tops all these coverages up to make sure that you’re looked after in the event of a loss.”
“We’re bringing back the good old days, when the phone rang and someone answered it. It’s much easier to understand what someone’s going through when you’re talking to someone local.”

Bundling your home and auto insurance with CAA helps you save
By combining these products, you could receive a 10 percent discount on your home insurance premiums. Bundling comes with added benefits like:
- Single deductible: If a single event (like a hailstorm) damages both your car and your home, you could only pay one deductible instead.
- Complimentary tire coverage: Some bundles include protection against road hazards.
Personalized guidance right in your neighbourhood
In a world of automated phone menus, CAA Saskatchewan stands apart. “Our local advisors are more than just insurance experts; they are members of your community,” says Madsen. “We’re bringing back the good old days, when the phone rang and someone answered it. It’s much easier to understand what someone’s going through when you’re talking to someone local.” CAA
