It is not our policy to use recycled or non-original parts and equipment when repairing your vehicle, although on occasion it may be necessary. Total loss When deciding whether your vehicle is a total loss, we use the Association of British Insurers (ABI) Code of Practice for the Disposal of Motor Vehicle Salvage. We alone will determine: • When an insured vehicle is deemed a total loss • The market value of the insured vehicle, and where applicable • Any salvage value of that insured vehicle In the event that we deem your vehicle a total loss, due to it being uneconomical to repair or subject to an unrecovered theft, we will offer an amount in settlement of the claim. The insurance cover for that insured vehicle will end when you accept that offer. You will not receive a refund of premium if your insurance ends due to the total loss of your vehicle. If your insurance covers more than one vehicle, cover will remain in force for any vehicles that have not been declared a total loss. If the insured vehicle is owned by someone else, we will discuss the valuation and payments directly with the vehicle owner rather than with you. When we determine the value of the insured vehicle, we will take into account any discount on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price received at the point of purchase.

Vehicles subject to a lease / hire agreement – legal right to title or proceeds of sale We will pay the lease / hire company the market value of the vehicle, which will settle the claim in full. Any transfer of legal title or distribution of the proceeds of the vehicle should be taken up directly with the lease / hire company in line with the specific terms of your agreement. Salvage Where applicable, your vehicle will have a salvage category placed upon it, in line with the ABI Code of Practice. Only vehicles deemed eligible to go back on the road can be considered for retention. If retention is granted, the value of the salvage, as determined by us, will be deducted from the settlement. At the point of payment, the vehicle will become our property unless we agree otherwise. If your vehicle has been subject to an insurance write off (total loss), you must be able to evidence the vehicle has been restored to a roadworthy condition. In the event of the insured vehicle being subject to another claim, we will request documentary evidence of repairs and other documentation that we may require, to evidence, and to satisfy us, that the insured vehicle has been maintained in a roadworthy condition, otherwise the valuation will be affected. If we ask, you must send us your vehicle registration document (V5c), MOT certificate (if applicable), the purchase receipt for the vehicle, all keys and any other relevant documentation before we agree to settle the claim.

We will also pay the cost of delivering your vehicle back to you in the United Kingdom after repair. Do not try to move your vehicle yourself if this could increase the damage. If unnecessary damage is caused as a result of your attempts to move your vehicle, we will not pay any extra cost arising from that damage.

If repairs are completed without our prior knowledge and consent this may affect the amount we pay in final settlement of your claim. In all circumstances, anyone conducting repairs to an insured vehicle should retain the following for our inspection: • A fully costed estimate • All damaged parts and • Images of the damaged areas of the insured vehicle If you fail to provide all requested information, documentation and evidence of claim damage, we reserve the right not to pay for damages under this section.

It is not our policy to use recycled or non-original parts and equipment when repairing your vehicle, although on occasion it may be necessary. Total loss When deciding whether your vehicle is a total loss, we use the Association of British Insurers (ABI) Code of Practice for the Disposal of Motor Vehicle Salvage. We alone will determine: • When an insured vehicle is deemed a total loss • The market value of the insured vehicle, and where applicable • Any salvage value of that insured vehicle In the event that we deem your vehicle a total loss, due to it being uneconomical to repair or subject to an unrecovered theft, we will offer an amount in settlement of the claim. The insurance cover for that insured vehicle will end when you accept that offer. You will not receive a refund of premium if your insurance ends due to the total loss of your vehicle. If your insurance covers more than one vehicle, cover will remain in force for any vehicles that have not been declared a total loss. If the insured vehicle is owned by someone else, we will discuss the valuation and payments directly with the vehicle owner rather than with you. When we determine the value of the insured vehicle, we will take into account any discount on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price received at the point of purchase. Our offer will not exceed the amount shown on schedule. Once we have made a payment, the insured vehicle becomes our property unless we agree otherwise. Vehicles subject to a finance agreement If the market value we place upon the insured vehicle is equal to or greater than the amount owed to the finance company: We will pay the finance company first and then settle the balance with the legal owner of the insured vehicle. If the market value placed upon the insured vehicle is less than the amount owed to the finance company: We will pay the finance company the market value of the insured vehicle. You may be required by the finance company to pay them the balance, subject to the terms of your agreement with them. Vehicles subject to a lease / hire agreement – no legal right to title If the market value we place upon the insured vehicle is greater than the amount owed to the lease / hire company, we will pay them only the amount of the outstanding finance, which will settle the claim in full. If the market value we place upon the insured vehicle is less than the amount owed, the amount we pay to the lease / hire company will settle the claim, and you may be required by the lease / hire company to pay them the balance, subject to the terms of your agreement with them. Vehicles subject to a lease / hire agreement – legal right to title or proceeds of sale We will pay the lease / hire company the market value of the vehicle, which will settle the claim in full. Any transfer of legal title or distribution of the proceeds of the vehicle should be taken up directly with the lease / hire company in line with the specific terms of your agreement. Salvage Where applicable, your vehicle will have a salvage category placed upon it, in line with the ABI Code of Practice. Only vehicles deemed eligible to go back on the road can be considered for retention. If retention is granted, the value of the salvage, as determined by us, will be deducted from the settlement. At the point of payment, the vehicle will become our property unless we agree otherwise. If your vehicle has been subject to an insurance write off (total loss), you must be able to evidence the vehicle has been restored to a roadworthy condition. In the event of the insured vehicle being subject to another claim, we will request documentary evidence of repairs and other documentation that we may require, to evidence, and to satisfy us, that the insured vehicle has been maintained in a roadworthy condition, otherwise the valuation will be affected.
