AXA Assicurazioni S.p.A.
AXA
AXA is a motor casco insurance for the Italy market with no online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
For claims settled at an AXA-affiliated body shop (carrozzeria convenzionata), the applicable deductible/scoperto is reduced by 50% and AXA can settle the repair cost directly with the repairer. If the policyholder chooses a non-affiliated repairer, the full deductible applies and the policyholder is reimbursed after paying the repair cost.
Geographic scope
Italy (nationwide)
The vehicle's Green Card (Carta Verde) extends the compulsory motor liability cover to the foreign countries listed and not crossed out on the certificate. The 2022 DIP Aggiuntivo and the product Glossary confirm the existence of the Carta Verde system but do not restate the full current list of countries covered.
Unique selling points
- 50% reduction of the deductible/scoperto on Furto, Collisione, Kasko, Kasko-Danno Totale, Minicollisione and Eventi Naturali claims when the vehicle is repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop.
- Glass-breakage cover offers a 'Forma B' option that removes both the standard indemnity cap and the once-per-year windscreen-replacement limit applicable under 'Forma A'.
- Optional Minicollisione guarantee reimburses vehicle damage from collision with an identified vehicle on a first-loss basis (no wear-and-tear/degrado deduction), regardless of fault.
- Rental-car reimbursement of up to €520 per insurance year (€26/day, max 10 days) is included as an add-on following total loss under Incendio, Furto, Collisione, Minicollisione or Kasko.
Coverage limits
Own Damage (Kasko)
Optional
Only in Kasko
Optional Kasko guarantee indemnifies material and direct damage to the insured vehicle (including optional accessories, if insured) caused by collision with identified vehicles/objects, impact with fixed or moving obstacles, running off the road, or overturning. No fixed euro cap is stated in the current DIP Aggiuntivo; the maximum payable is the vehicle's insured sum (declared under the 'Valore a Nuovo' or 'Valore Commerciale' formula) less the deductible/scoperto stated in the individual policy, which is doubled if the driver is under the influence of alcohol/drugs and reduced by 50% if repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop.
Total Loss
Optional
Only in Incendio e Furto Totali, Kasko - Danno Totale
Alternative optional clauses ('Incendio e Furto Totali' and 'Kasko - Danno Totale') restrict fire/theft/collision cover to total-loss events only, defined as damage equal to or greater than 80% of the vehicle's value at the time of the loss. Payout equals the vehicle's insured sum at the loss date, less any residual/salvage value and the applicable deductible; no separate fixed euro cap is stated in the current DIP Aggiuntivo.
Partial Loss
Optional
Only in Incendio, Furto, Kasko
The standard (non-'Totali'/'Danno Totale') Incendio, Furto and Kasko guarantees indemnify partial damage to the vehicle without any total-loss threshold, i.e. they cover damage of any severity below the 80% total-loss level. Indemnity equals the repair/replacement cost of the damaged or stolen parts, net of the deductible/scoperto indicated in the policy.
Total Theft Coverage
Optional
Only in Furto
Optional Furto guarantee covers material and direct damage to the vehicle, including optional parts, caused by theft (attempted or actual) and robbery, extended to damage during unauthorized circulation following theft or robbery. No fixed euro cap is stated; payout is capped at the vehicle's insured sum, less the deductible/scoperto indicated in the policy, which is reduced by 50% if the vehicle is repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop.
Glass Coverage
Optional
Only in Forma A, Forma B
Optional glass-breakage guarantee, offered in two forms. Form A applies a maximum indemnity limit per claim if repairs are NOT carried out at an AXA-affiliated body shop, and limits full windscreen replacement to once per insurance year. Form B removes both the maximum indemnity limit and the once-per-year windscreen-replacement limit. The current DIP Aggiuntivo does not disclose the specific euro amount of the Form A indemnity cap or deductible; these are stated in the individual policy schedule.
Natural Perils
Optional
Only in Danni conseguenti ad Eventi Naturali, Eventi Sociopolitici ed Atti Vandalici
Optional guarantee ('Danni conseguenti ad Eventi Naturali, Eventi Sociopolitici ed Atti Vandalici') covers material and direct damage caused by hail, hurricane, storm, wind, tornado, overflow of watercourses/lakes, floods, avalanches, snow pressure, landslides, and falling rocks/trees. The deductible/scoperto and its minimum amount are indicated in the individual policy (not fixed by the DIP), and are reduced by 50% if the vehicle is repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop.
Vandalism
Optional
Only in Danni conseguenti ad Eventi Naturali, Eventi Sociopolitici ed Atti Vandalici
Vandalism is covered under the same optional clause as natural perils ('Danni conseguenti ad Eventi Naturali, Eventi Sociopolitici ed Atti Vandalici'), extending to damage from popular uprisings, strikes, riots, acts of terrorism or sabotage, and vandalism. The deductible/scoperto and its minimum are set in the individual policy and reduced by 50% when repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop.
Roadside Assistance
Optional
No limit stated
Third-party distributor pages indicate that AXA offers a 24/7 roadside/breakdown assistance service ('AXA Assistance') as part of the Protezione al Volante line, but the verified official DIP Aggiuntivo (Ed. 09/2022) provided for this product covers only the R.C. Auto and vehicle-damage (A.R.D.) guarantees and does not include the Assistenza guarantee's specific coverage limits or tier structure. No current, official source in the verified list confirms exact assistance limits for this edition.
Replacement Vehicle / Rental Car Reimbursement
€520
Only in Le Assicurazioni Speciali - Rimborso delle spese per noleggio di un autoveicolo sostitutivo
Optional 'Assicurazioni Speciali' benefit reimburses rental-car costs following total loss of the insured vehicle due to Fire, Theft/Robbery, Collision, Minicollisione or Kasko (or judicial seizure after a road accident), up to €26 per day of rental, with a maximum of 10 days per claim and an overall limit of €520 per insurance year, from the day after the claim report until the vehicle is recovered, returned or replaced.
Driver Accident Insurance
Optional
Only in Garanzia Infortuni del Conducente
Optional guarantee covering the driver for accidents resulting in permanent invalidity or death occurring while driving, boarding or alighting from the vehicle. The insured capital for death/invalidity is chosen by the policyholder (no fixed amount in the DIP); if the driver is over 80 at the time of the claim, the death benefit is reduced by 80% and the invalidity benefit by 10% per year of age over 80 (capped at 60%). Additional benefits: reimbursement of up to 80% of medical costs incurred within 360 days of the accident (remaining 20% borne by the insured, minimum €50 per claim/person), ambulance/inter-facility transport reimbursed up to €2,000 per claim, and a hospitalisation and/or plaster-cast daily allowance of €50 per day (maximum 180 days for hospitalisation; maximum 30 days per event for plaster-cast outside hospital).
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
For Minicollisione, the deductible/franchigia applied on a claim varies according to the driver's age at the time of the accident (a higher deductible applies to drivers under 26), and is doubled if the driver was under the influence of alcohol. Separately, the RCA 'Guida Esperta' option (requiring drivers to be at least 26) is unrelated to casco cover but can trigger a recourse (rivalsa) of up to €2,000 if violated.
Repair network requirements
Using an AXA-affiliated body shop (carrozzeria convenzionata) reduces the deductible/scoperto by 50% on Furto, Collisione, Kasko, Kasko-Danno Totale, Minicollisione and Eventi Naturali/Sociopolitici/Vandalici claims, and removes both the indemnity cap and the once-per-year windscreen-replacement limit under the glass-breakage guarantee's Form B option.
Territorial scope
Motor damage cover generally follows the vehicle's Carta Verde (Green Card) territorial extension to the countries listed and not crossed out on the certificate. The 2022 DIP Aggiuntivo does not restate the specific list of countries for the current edition.
Anti-theft requirements
The current DIP Aggiuntivo does not itself impose anti-theft device requirements for the casco/theft guarantees; such declarations (e.g. satellite tracking, mechanical/electronic immobilisers, permanent marking, habitual garaging) are addressed as tariff-affecting 'Condizioni Particolari A.R.D.' in the full policy conditions rather than in this DIP.
Claim notification deadline
For claims other than R.C. Auto (i.e. Auto Rischi Diversi / casco-type claims), the policyholder must notify the agency or AXA within 3 days of the event or of becoming aware of it.
Deductible rules
For most A.R.D./casco guarantees (Furto, Collisione, Kasko, Kasko-Danno Totale, Minicollisione, Eventi Naturali/Sociopolitici/Vandalici) the deductible/scoperto and its minimum amount are set out in the individual policy schedule rather than fixed by the DIP. Regardless of the amount, it is halved when the vehicle is repaired at an AXA-affiliated body shop, and doubled for Collisione, Kasko and Minicollisione if the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. For Infortuni del Conducente medical-expense reimbursement, the insured bears 20% of costs with a minimum of €50 per claim/person.
