Medical Expenses for the Authorized Driver(s) up to €2,000 √ √ √ √
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
All insured/authorized drivers must hold a valid driving licence and be 18 years of age or older; the driving licence (and its country of origin, if not Cyprus) must be declared for every named driver.
Repair network requirements
The Company may repair the vehicle through a repairer of its own choice; using one of Gan Direct's Network Approved Repairers gives access to free vehicle collection, a courtesy car (Key2Key Service) and a 12-month repair guarantee, whereas repairs are otherwise assessed by the Company's own engineer.
Anti-theft requirements
The booklet does not impose a mandatory alarm/immobiliser warranty as a condition of theft cover; it only provides general advice (locking the vehicle, removing keys, using well-lit/secure parking) to reduce theft risk.
Claim notification deadline
The insured must contact the Company immediately from the scene of any incident that may give rise to a claim, follow the instructions given, and notify the police immediately in case of accident, theft or other criminal act.
Deductible rules
The policyholder bears a fixed 'Excess Amount' (deductible) for each own-damage claim, shown in the Schedule; choosing a higher excess reduces the premium. An optional 'Excess Protection' add-on (available under the Value and Premium policies) waives the excess liability for any number of claims within the policy year.
Direct payment
Claims are settled either on a cashless basis through Gan Direct's Network Approved Repairers/Associates (with authorization and payment made directly to the repairer, plus a free courtesy car under the Key2Key Service) or, alternatively, by direct cheque payment to the policyholder within 24 hours of claim acceptance.
Territorial scope
Third-party liability (Section One) applies within the geographical area stated in the Schedule and, subject to the Limits of Liability, extends to other States that are signatories to Section III of the Unified (Multilateral) Agreement (including EU member states), while own-damage cover under Sections Two and Three applies only within the geographical area specified in the Schedule (Cyprus) unless the Geographical Area is extended for an additional premium.
