Direct payment

Under the mandatory third-party liability cover, Foyer reimburses the costs and damages to which a third-party victim of an at-fault accident is entitled.

Geographic scope

Luxembourg

Coverage applies in all countries where the international motor insurance card (formerly green card) is valid, as listed on that card.

Unique selling points

  • Protected driver/occupants cover extends bodily injury protection worldwide across multiple transport modes (car, bicycle, scooter, public transport), not just inside the insured vehicle.
  • Foyer offers 9 selectable options to supplement and tailor car insurance coverage to each driver's profile.
  • The automatic Joker Mobilité feature in the Zen plan provides three free taxi journeys per year up to 70 km when the driver is unfit to drive.
  • After an accident, Foyer provides a replacement vehicle for 5 to 15 days, extendable to 30-60 days if the car is stolen or written off.
  • The Zen formula is the plan preferred by 68% of Foyer's car insurance clients in Luxembourg.

Coverage limits

Bodily Injury Liability

unlimited

The Zen-formula IPID lists 'Responsabilité civile' as a base guarantee but states no specific monetary figure and notes that different limits and deductibles apply per guarantee. The unlimited nature of bodily injury cover derives from Luxembourg law itself, where the principle of unlimited RC-VTA (motor liability) cover is embedded, rather than from a Foyer-specific document.

Property Damage Liability

Covered

No limit stated

Included within the same 'Responsabilité civile' base guarantee as bodily injury in the Zen IPID, but no specific monetary ceiling is stated in Foyer's own documents. A Luxembourg legislative dossier notes that, unlike the unlimited principle for bodily injury, national regulation may cap the material-damage guarantee at a maximum total of €250 million per claim; this is a legal ceiling context, not a confirmed Foyer contract limit.

Legal Defence

Optional

No limit stated

Only in Zen

Confirmed as an optional guarantee ('Protection juridique ou Défense et recours') in the official Zen-formula IPID (01/2025 edition). Foyer's product page distinguishes a 'standard' legal cover (defence and recovery action against responsible third parties) from an 'extended' legal cover (civil proceedings costs, legal interests, and vehicle purchase/sale/repair disputes) within this optional module. Availability as base vs. optional in Essentiel/Protection/Special/Clima is not confirmed by these sources.

Green Card

Covered

No limit stated

The 01/2025 Zen-formula IPID confirms coverage is valid in all countries where the international motor insurance card (updated terminology for what was previously called the green card) is valid, listing this as a base territorial-scope guarantee.

Section: Où suis-je couvert(e)?

Les garanties souscrites sont valables dans tous les pays où la carte internationale d'assurance automobile est valide.

Roadside Assistance

Optional

No limit stated

Only in Zen

In the official Zen-formula IPID (01/2025 edition), 'Assistance' is listed as an optional guarantee, separate from the optional 'Assistance panne' (breakdown assistance for car, van, motorcycle) and 'Assistance remorquage véhicule électrique' (EV-specific towing assistance). This differs from a third-party comparison site (switchr.lu) which reports assistance as included at base level in the Protection and Zen formulas; the insurer's own current IPID is treated as authoritative here.

Confirmed as the optional 'Conducteur protégé' guarantee in the official Zen-formula IPID (01/2025 edition). No specific monetary limit is stated. A separate optional 'Accident conducteur de moto' guarantee exists specifically for motorcycles.

Foyer's product page describes this cover as extending bodily injury protection to named occupants across multiple transport modes (car, bicycle, scooter, public transport).

Bonus-malus rules

Luxembourg uses two separate bonus-malus scales: the third-party liability (RC) scale, regulated by law, and the material-damage (Casco) scale, set freely by each insurer, so a claim on one does not affect the other's level. Separately, the Zen formula's automatic Joker Mobilité feature (a base guarantee restricted to cars) provides three free taxi journeys per year up to 70 km when the driver is unfit to drive; it is not a bonus-malus protection mechanism.

Au Luxembourg, il existe deux échelles de bonus-malus distinctes : l'échelle responsabilité civile (RC)... et l'échelle dégâts matériels.
