What are the 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 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'll give you a full refund. After that, you may still cancel at any point, subject to a £35 administration fee. You may receive a pro-rata refund which will reflect the length of the term remaining. Simple to arrange: Your sales consultant will be happy to answer any questions you may have and confirm your eligibility for Asset Protection.
