Key conditions
Territorial scope
Coverage applies within the geographical borders of Europe and the non-European overseas territories belonging to the EU; the level of cover follows the legally required minimum of the country visited, but at least the scope of the German contract.
Green card rules
If LVM has issued the International Motor Insurance Card, coverage extends to the non-European countries printed on it, unless the country name is crossed out; the scope of cover follows the same rule as for the domestic contract.
Driver restrictions
The vehicle may only be used by a driver authorized by the policyholder/keeper who holds the required driving licence; occasional drivers aged 23 or older are permitted to drive the insured vehicle even if not named in the driver circle.
Claim notification deadline
The policyholder must notify LVM of any claim event that could trigger a payment within one week; if a third party asserts a claim against the policyholder, this must likewise be reported to LVM within one week of the claim being raised.
Bonus-malus rules
Premiums follow a no-claims discount (Schadenfreiheitsrabatt) class system ranging from class M (worst, surcharge) up to class SF35 (best, 20% premium rate for cars); one claim-free calendar year moves the contract one class better, while a claim causes a step-back according to fixed tables. LVM-RabattSchutz can, for an extra premium, protect against downgrading after one claim per year if the vehicle is rated at least SF-class 4.
