Bus/Financial - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Automobile insurance - Canadian French
French term or phrase: voiturier
Hi all -

I am translating a one page document from an automobile insurance company in Quebec describing insurance and costs.

I am wondering if "voiturier" translates as "valet' as it does in France.
Or, in Canadian French does it mean something else?

The context may help:

ASSURANCE AUTOMOBILE DU QUÉBEC – F.P.Q. No 1
Couvrant tous les véhicules appartenant ou utilisés par l'assuré ainsi que les voituriers indépendants décrits au contrat, selon le formulaire FAQ 21B.
CHAPITRE A - Responsabilité civile (Assurance obligatoire)
Dommages matériels et corporels causés à d’autres personnes – Montant de garantie : 3,000,000 $
Franchise pour dommages matériels – FAQ 8 : 10,000 $
CHAPITRE B – Garanties pour les dommages aux véhicules assurés (Assurance optionnelle)
Véhicules commerciaux :
Tracteurs – Franchise : 10,000 $
Remorques – Franchise : 10,000 $
Véhicules porteurs – Franchise : N/A

Thanks for any help!
