Insurance coverage

Vehicles will be insured at their real value upon their closing date or renewal date of the policy.The real value of the vehicle represents the value of commercialising the vehicle again(according to bills,catalogues or price lists),not including utilization,established in proportion with its fabrication date .

Insurance premium

The insurance contract has a one-year long availabilityperiod,with the possibility of successive renewal year after year.The insurance premium is annualy and will be fully paid,anticipately for the entire insurance period,but ,at the Insured`s request it can be paid semestrial or trimestrial.

Excess payment/Insurance excess

An excess payment is the part of every damage (calculated as a percentage of the insurance coverage or established as a fixed amount of money)that the Insured is obliged to pay by contract agreement.The excess payment is established and registered within the policy in the same currency as the insured amount.This can be a fixed amount or as procentual quota and will not exceed 0,5-1% from the insurance coverage limit.By binding tem to accept an excess payment contract,Insurers are trying to make drivers more responsible,who will have to support costs for scratches or other minor car accidents,even if they own an available CASCO policy.

For example the excess payment for total damage of the vehicle can reach up to 10% of the insurance coverage.

In the event the vehicle is completely damaged and the person`s CASCO insurance has a limit of 10.000 euo,the insurance company will only pay 9000 euro,and the rest will be the insured driver`s contribution-in case he opted for a 10% excess payment.

A fact to be taken into consideration is that insurance with excess payment has a smaller premium than the one without excess payment ,which means the driver will pay less for CASCO insurance,but,in case of an accident,he will have to pay a certain amount ,according to the excess payment agreed by contract with the Insurer.

Closing the CASCO insurance policy

The insurance policy will be closed according to the Insured`s signed declaration from the application form,only after conducting the inspection risk by the Insurer`s representative(only after determining the vehicle`s condition in the moment of closing the insurance).

The application form,vehicle inspection risk,along with the policy`s additional documents,clauses and other written declarations of the Insured ,are integrated parts of the policy.

At the insurance policy closing,the applicant must present the vehicle`s original documents:the registration certificate and the identity card,in the case of new vehicles ,purchased directly from manufacturers or dealers from Romania,the policy can be closed even based on the purchase bill and temporary circulation authorisation.

The insurance is considered closed by issuing the insurance policy by the Insurer and the insurance premium payment ,respectively the first instalment payment by the Insured ,and is available only for the vehicles included and risks specified in the insurance policy.
