Unique selling points

Selectable liability limits up to €80 million for personal injury and €20 million for property damage, far above Italy's statutory minimums.

Free policy suspension for up to 10 months per insurance year (11 months for historic and collectible vehicles) whenever the car is not in use.

Premium can be split into monthly instalments via recurring SEPA direct debit, credit card or debit card.

Riparazione Diretta through the UnipolService network grants an upfront premium discount plus a further €40 discount at renewal, no out-of-pocket cost when the insured is not at fault, and repairs guaranteed for up to 10 years.

Several rivalsa (recovery-right) waivers are included at no extra cost, such as an expired licence renewed within 120 days or a first drink-driving claim capped at 10% of the damage (max €500).

Coverage limits

Covered

Bodily Injury Liability

€6.5M – €80M

Statutory minimum of €6,450,000 per claim for personal injury; the Contraente can negotiate a higher Massimale up to €80,000,000 per claim.

Covered

Property Damage Liability

€1.3M – €20M

Statutory minimum of €1,300,000 per claim for property damage, independent of the number of persons involved; negotiable up to a maximum of €20,000,000 per claim.

Optional

Legal Protection (Tutela Legale)

Optional

No limit stated

Tutela Legale is a separate, optional guarantee that can be added alongside the base R.C.A. cover; it reimburses, up to the amount provided, legal costs arising from disputes connected with driving the insured car. It is distinct from the defence-cost clause already built into the R.C.A. base cover (Art. 4.3 Gestione delle controversie), under which Unipol bears the costs of resisting claims brought against the insured up to one quarter of the Massimale.

Section: Includi le garanzie che vuoi > Tutela legale

La garanzia Tutela Legale ti offre un rimborso, fino all’importo previsto, delle spese legali relative a controversie derivanti dalla guida della tua auto.

Covered

Green Card (International Insurance Certificate)

Covered

Unipol issues the Green Card at each renewal, valid for the same period for which the premium or premium instalment has been paid; it certifies valid R.C.A. cover and automatically adapts it to the legislation of other Green Card System countries not crossed out on the certificate, if that legislation provides greater protection to the injured party.

Optional

Roadside Assistance

Optional

No limit stated

Roadside assistance ('Assistenza Stradale') is a separate optional guarantee in the Unipol UNICA Veicoli e Mobilità offering, activatable via the reserved area/app; it is not part of the R.C.A. Autovetture section.

Excluded

Driver Personal Accident

Excluded

Personal injury and property damage suffered by the driver responsible for the accident are expressly excluded from R.C.A. cover, since the driver is not considered a 'Terzo' (third party) under the policy.

Covered

Passenger Bodily Injury (RC Trasportati)

Covered

Bodily injury suffered by transported passengers is covered within the R.C.A. Massimale regardless of the title under which transport is provided, including passengers on wheelchairs during boarding/alighting operations carried out with mechanical means; no separate personal-accident limit applies.

Key conditions

Driver restrictions

Policyholders may choose 'Guida Libera' (no restriction on who drives) or the discounted 'Guida Esperta' option, which requires the driver to be at least 26 years old with a licence held for at least 3 years and the vehicle owner aged between 26 and 65; failure to meet these conditions triggers a rivalsa (recovery right) of up to €3,000 per claim.

Claim notification deadline

The policyholder or insured must notify Unipol of a claim immediately and in any case within 3 days of the event, using the Constatazione Amichevole di Incidente form; failure to comply may result in total or partial loss of the right to indemnity.

Bonus-malus rules

Premium follows a 19-class internal Bonus/Malus scale linked to the ANIA universal merit class (C.U.); at each annual renewal the internal class worsens by +2 to +11 positions depending on the number of at-fault or 51%+ jointly-liable claims settled in the observation period, or improves by -1 with no claims. Optional 'Bonus/Malus con Franchigia' and 'Azzera Sinistro' extensions can apply a fixed excess or exclude one at-fault claim per renewal from the internal class calculation.

Territorial scope

Italy, Vatican City, San Marino, EU member states, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Montenegro, Norway, Monaco, United Kingdom, Serbia, Switzerland, and other Green Card System countries not crossed out on the certificate (Azerbaijan, Moldova, North Macedonia, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine).
