Are Trucks and Vans Covered by Wealthsimple Roadside Assistance?

Yes! Personal-use trucks and vans can be covered by Wealthsimple Roadside Assistance, as long as the vehicle meets the plan's eligibility requirements.


🛻 Are Pickup Trucks Covered?


Yes. Personal-use pickup trucks are eligible, provided they do not exceed a 1.5-ton capacity.


Trucks with a capacity of more than 1.5 tons are not covered.


🚐 Are Vans Covered?


Yes. Personal-use vans can also be covered, as long as they meet the plan's vehicle eligibility requirements.


🚗 What Does “Personal Use” Mean?


Personal use means the vehicle is primarily used for your everyday, non-commercial driving, such as:


  • Commuting to and from work
  • Running errands
  • Visiting friends or family
  • Taking personal trips


Using your vehicle to get to work is different from using the vehicle to perform your work.


Vehicles used for commercial or business purposes, such as making deliveries, transporting goods or passengers for payment, or operating the vehicle as part of a business, aren't eligible for Wealthsimple Roadside Assistance.


⚠️ What Vehicles Aren't Covered?


Your vehicle may not be eligible if:


  • It is used for commercial or business purposes
  • It is a truck that exceeds the 1.5-ton capacity limit
  • It does not otherwise meet the vehicle eligibility requirements of the Wealthsimple Roadside Assistance plan


🔎 How Do I Know My Vehicle's Capacity?


Walnut can't look up or confirm your vehicle's specifications, including whether your truck is within the 1.5-ton capacity limit.


If you're unsure about your vehicle's capacity, check your vehicle owner's manual or manufacturer information for the specifications for your specific vehicle.


💡 Good to Know


The 1.5-ton limit refers to the truck's capacity, not simply how much the vehicle itself weighs.


Having a pickup truck or van doesn't automatically make your vehicle ineligible. What matters is that it meets the plan's requirements and is being used as a personal vehicle.
