Unique selling points
Participates in the CARD direct-compensation scheme, letting policyholders claim straight from Great Lakes instead of the at-fault driver's insurer.
Liability limits can be raised well above the legal minimum, up to a combined €50,000,000 single ceiling for both personal injury and property damage.
The 'Ripara Prima' option gives a premium discount in exchange for repairing at a network body shop, including a free courtesy car and vehicle pick-up/drop-off service.
The 'Bonus protetto' add-on lets drivers avoid a malus class increase after a single at-fault claim per observation period.
Policyholders can suspend the contract free of charge for up to 300 days a year via the online reserved area, instead of paying for unused cover.
