24/7 European Auto PLUS24service roadside assistance included free of charge with the 20 and 30 million Euro liability sums.

Coverage limits
Liability limit (covers injury + property damage)
One combined sum for both bodily injury and property damage, not two separate limits.
Legal minimum: €10M
Defence against unjustified claims
Covered
UNIQA covers the costs of defending unjustified compensation claims brought against the policyholder or co-insured persons; these defence costs are offset against the liability sum insured, not a separate limit. A standalone Fahrzeug-Rechtsschutz-Versicherung (motor legal protection, sum insured EUR 460,000) can be purchased separately for legal disputes such as claims enforcement, criminal defence, or driving licence disputes.
Green Card / international insurance coverage
Covered
Coverage applies in Europe in the geographical sense and at least in the territory of the states party to the 30 May 2002 Multilateral Guarantee Agreement between National Insurance Bureaus (Green Card states). In countries where an International Motor Insurance Card (Green Card) is issued or its presentation waived, cover extends at least to the minimum scope legally required in that state.
Section: Artikel 5 > Wie ist der Versicherungsschutz für das Ausland geregelt?
Im Gebiet jener Staaten, für die eine Internationale Versicherungskarte (Grüne Karte) ausgestellt oder auf deren Vorlage durch das Übereinkommen zwischen den Nationalen Versicherungsbüros der Mitgliedsstaaten des europäischen Wirtschaftsraums und anderen assoziierten Staaten vom 30. Mai 2002 verzichtet worden ist, erstreckt sich die Versicherung jedenfalls auf den in dem betreffenden Staat für Fahrzeuge mit ausländischem Kennzeichen vorgeschriebenen, mindestens jedoch den im Versicherungsvertrag vereinbarten Umfang.
Auto PLUS24service (24/7 roadside assistance)
Conditional
24/7 European breakdown and accident assistance (towing, recovery, route planning, child recovery, medical repatriation, spare-parts shipping abroad and more).

Kfz-Lenkerschutzversicherung (driver protection insurance)
€1M
Optional add-on, selectable with any of the three liability tiers (KOMPAKT/OPTIMAL/PREMIUM). Pays regardless of fault for the authorised driver's personal injury sustained while driving the insured vehicle, whenever another party is not (fully) liable to pay compensation - including cases of the driver's own fault.

Section: Kfz-Lenkerschutzversicherung
Die Lenkerschutzversicherung leistet unabhängig vom Verschulden für den berechtigten Lenker bei Personenschäden, die durch einen Unfall beim Lenken des versicherten Fahrzeuges entstanden sind. Wenn ein anderer nicht oder nur teilweise zum Schadenersatz verpflichtet ist, leistet der Lenkerschutz – bis zu 1 Mio. Versicherungssumme.
Kfz-Unfallversicherung / Kfz-Insassenunfallversicherung (occupant accident insurance)
€15K – €100K
Optional accident insurance paying regardless of fault for all occupants (including the driver), in addition to the Lenkerschutz benefits. Death benefit and permanent-disability benefit vary by chosen package: KOMPAKT EUR 15,000 death / up to EUR 35,000 permanent disability; OPTIMAL EUR 30,000 death / up to EUR 70,000 permanent disability; PREMIUM EUR 50,000 death / up to EUR 100,000 permanent disability.
Section: Kfz-Unfallversicherung
Die Kfz-Unfallversicherung leistet unabhängig vom Verschulden für alle Insassen und zusätzlich zu den Leistungen des Lenkerschutzes. Der Versicherer erbringt unter anderem Leistungen aus den Forderungspositionen Tod nach Unfall bzw. Dauerfolgen nach Unfall abhängig von der gewählten Variante.
Key conditions
Driver restrictions
Coverage does not apply, or the insurer may seek recourse, if the driver operates the vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs, drives without a valid licence, exceeds the agreed use of the vehicle, carries more persons than permitted, or (in case of transfer plates) uses a vehicle not bearing the assigned plates.
Claim notification deadline
The insurance event, any claim raised by a third party, and the initiation of related administrative or criminal proceedings must be reported to UNIQA within one week of becoming aware of them.
Bonus-malus rules
Premiums for eligible vehicle categories are set under a Bonus/Malus stage system (stages P5 to 17, corresponding to 42%-200% of the tariff premium). Each claim-free observation year (1 October-30 September) moves the policyholder one stage toward bonus; each claim charged to the insurer moves the policyholder three stages toward malus. The optional Freischaden-Gutschein voucher can prevent a downgrade after a claim; as of the current Leistungsübersicht this bonus is included free of charge in the Kfz-Haftpflichtversicherung for stages 0 to P5.
Territorial scope
Coverage applies in Europe in the geographical sense; the territorial scope can be contractually extended, e.g. to non-European Mediterranean countries
