No limit stated
The 24/7 emergency helpline (Hätäpalvelu 24h) is included with every tier, including plain MTPL, but towing and travel-cost cover (Hinaus- ja matkakulut) is only an optional add-on on top of plain MTPL and is automatically included from the Suppea tier upward; a 50 EUR deductible applies if towing is carried out by a non-partner provider

Bonus-malus rules
Under the T&C (vakuutusehdot, effective 1.6.2025, §9.3–9.6): a new policy with no prior claims history starts at a minimum bonus of 25%; the bonus normally rises by 5 percentage points per claim-free insurance period, plus a further 5-point reward bonus after every two consecutive claim-free periods, up to a maximum of 80%; the bonus falls by 15 percentage points after each compensated claim; Personal Bonus Protection activates once the 80% bonus is reached and prevents a first claim from reducing it. The product description (tuoteseloste, effective 1.1.2026) instead states that a customer with no history starts at 35%, that the bonus rises by 10 percentage points per claim-free period, and that the full 80% bonus can be reached after five claim-free years; both documents agree that a compensated claim reduces the bonus by 15 percentage points and on the 80% maximum with Personal Bonus Protection

Bonus nousee vahingottoman vakuutuskauden jälkeen pääsääntöisesti viisi prosenttiyksikköä. Jokaisen kahden peräkkäisen vahingottoman vakuutuskauden perusteella autojen bonukseen lisätään Vahingottoman kuljettajan palkintobonus viisi prosenttiyksikköä.
