Insurance Information

Summary of Features and Details of Cover

This must be read in conjunction with the Insurance Policy provided which jointly forms the contractual arrangements with the Motor Insurers, subject to the Proposal Form being completed and accepted by the Insurer.

The cover provided under the policy applies on the basis that:

A) COURTESY CAR OPTION - the customers’ vehicle is in your custody or control for the purposes of service, maintenance or body repairs.

B) UNACCOMPANIED TEST DRIVE OPTION - either the customers’ vehicle is in your custody or a £500 deposit is taken or the customer has placed an order and is awaiting delivery of their new vehicle.

Vehicle Value Bands

  • Group A - value up to £20,000
  • Group B - value between £20,001-£35,000
  • Group C - value between £35,001-£45,000
  • Group D - value between £45,001-£60,000

Indemnity

  • Unlimited third party injury including passenger liability
  • Third party property damage limit £20,000,000 (£5,000,000 for commercial vehicles)
  • Fire and theft damage to your vehicle
  • Accident damage to your vehicle
  • Conversion (theft) by the customer
  • Contingent damage cover in respect of damage to your vehicle
  • Policy subject to a standard excess of £500.00

Permitted Use;

  • Delivery and collection of your vehicle to / from the customer by your staff
  • Business and pleasure use by the customer

Excluded Use;

  • Use outside of the United Kingdom
  • Use in connection with your business (other than as shown above)
  • Use for demonstration purposes (unless unaccompanied demonstration option selected)
  • Use for social domestic and pleasure purposes by you or your staff
  • Use by the customer in connection with the carriage of passengers for hire and reward
  • Cover in respect of vehicles whilst not on loan i.e. garage risks to be insured under separate motor trade arrangements

Contingent Liability Cover *

This provides indemnity to you, the policyholder, in respect of damage to your vehicle in the event of:

  • The customer making an incorrect statement on the agreement
  • The customer withholding information which would normally exclude cover from being provided under the terms of the motor policy
  • The vehicle being driven by an unauthorised person

Conversion Cover *

This provides indemnity to the policyholder in respect of unlawful conversion of your vehicle by the customer to his / her own use (failure to return).

Customers Own Insurance *

Cover can also be extended to include indemnity to the policyholder in respect of a claim being rejected by the Prime Insurer who has provided cover on your vehicle. Proof that comparable own insurance cover has been correctly transferred will be required. A certificate on its own is not acceptable as it does not contain details of the cover in force or any policy restrictions. Always ask for a certificate or cover note, but before the vehicle leaves your control verify with the customers’ Insurer or Broker the extent of the cover in force and record the name and status of the person contacted. Also ensure your interest has been noted under the policy as legal owners of the vehicle. When the vehicle is supplied for a specific period and is then extended make sure you extend the ‘Own Insurance’ arrangements. This would equally apply should there be a change of vehicle during the period.

* It is a condition of the policy that claims met under the contingent liability, conversion and customers own insurance sections are subject to you and your staff not being a party to such misdemeanour. The cover is subject to satisfactory precautions being taken. The benefits provided under these sections will be the same as the cover normally provided under the standard insurance policy. The insurers reserve the right to recover the cost of claims met under these sections from the parties concerned.
