AXA

territorial_scope

Coverage applies in Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, Switzerland, Monaco, Andorra, Serbia, all EEA states, and other Green Card system countries whose international codes are not crossed out on the AXA-issued international insurance certificate. Coverage operates within the limits of national compulsory MTPL legislation of each territory; Italian policy limits apply only in Italy.

green_card_rules

The Green Card (international insurance certificate) is issued by AXA upon the policyholder's request and is valid for the same insurance period for which the premium has been paid. If the policy ceases or is suspended during the coverage period, the policyholder must immediately return the Green Card to AXA. AXA retains the right of recourse for amounts paid to third parties as a consequence of the policyholder's failure to return the Green Card.

driver_restrictions

The insurance is not operative if the driver is not licensed under applicable regulations. In case of an expired licence, coverage remains operative provided the driver renews within 3 months of the incident. Optional 'Guida Esperta' restriction: up to EUR 2,000 per incident franchise applies if the driver is under 26 years of age or has held a licence for less than two years.

claim_notification_deadline

The policyholder must report the claim in writing to AXA within 3 days of the incident occurrence (or from when they became aware of it), providing date, time, location, accident dynamics, vehicle details, driver information (including personal data and driving licence), insurance policy details, and any witnesses. Use of the standardized 'blue form' (friendly accident report / CID) is recommended. Failure to report within 3 days may result in the right of recourse by AXA for amounts paid to third parties due to prejudice suffered, pursuant to art. 1915 C.C.

bonus_malus_rules

The policy uses the Italian Bonus-Malus merit class system (Classe CU - Conversione Universale, per ISVAP/IVASS Regulation No. 4 of 9 August 2006). Premium is adjusted annually based on claims during the observation period. The observation period begins on the policy inception date and ends 2 months before the first full annual premium expiry, with subsequent periods of 12 months. Two or more claims during the same observation period result in a premium increase according to the universal correspondence scale. Policyholders may reimburse AXA for settled claims to avoid premium increases (facoltà di rimborso). The Bersani Law allows transfer of the most favorable CU class within a cohabiting family unit.
