Combined Guaranteed Asset Protection
When purchasing a vehicle you need to consider protecting yourself against probably the single biggest financial risk associated withownership; the risk of your vehicle being declared a write-off.
Your comprehensive motor insurance does not cover everything. In the event of your vehicle being declared a write-off, you could be left with a significant difference between your motor insurance payoutand what you paid for the vehicle or owe your finance company. The graph below is an example of how motor insurance works.
Motor insurance only covers you for the market value of your vehicle at the time it is declared a write-off.
Combined Guaranteed Asset Protection is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the policy schedule. You should note that there are certain limitations in terms of the maximum amount you may claim. Please ask your sales executive for further details.
| Can you give me an example? If you bought your vehicle outright and paid €26,500 for it and your motor insurance pay-out is €15,000, RTI can pay up to the difference of €11,500 to top it up to the original €26,500. If you financed your vehicle and paid €26,500 and your motor insurance pay-out is €15,000, and your outstanding finance payment was €18,000 Finance GAP insurance may pay-out up to €3,000. Combined Guaranteed Asset Protection will pay-out the greater of the Finance GAP or RTI amount. Significant benefits Policy duration Cover is available for varying durations, depending on your requirements and according to the terms of your finance agreement. Cover ends earlier in the event of a paid claim or if the vehicle is no longer in your possession. Excess Provides a contribution of up to €250 towards your motor insurance policy excess. Claim A range of claim limits are available depending on the premium paid and the purchase price of your vehicle. | Vehicle accessories covered As long as accessories are fitted by the dealer and are manufacturer approved, we will cover up to €1,500 of extras. Manufacturer fitted accessories are covered. Transferable If during the first year of cover, the vehicle is written off and you get a replacement vehicle on a “new for old” basis, you can transfer the remaining duration of the policy to your replacement vehicle free of charge. You may then subsequently, at any time, transfer any remaining period of insurance on the policy due to a further change of vehicle, on payment of an administration fee of €35, as long as the replacement vehicle falls within the price range specified in your policy schedule. Cancellable If, for any reason, you wish to cancel your policy and you do so within 30 days, and no claim has been registered with AutoProtect during this time, we will give you a full refund. After that, you may still cancel at any point, subject to a €35 administration fee. You will receive a pro-rata refund reflecting the length of the term remaining.
