Unique selling points

Free European Roadside Assistance and Breakdown Service is included across all three cover levels, valid anywhere in Europe and not just in Malta.

Third Party Uninsured Driver Promise: if hit by an uninsured, at-fault driver, the policyholder keeps their No Claims Discount and gets their excess refunded.

New vehicle replacement guarantee: a car bought new in Malta is replaced with an identical new model if stolen and not recovered, or if repairs exceed 60% of its list price, within the first 12 months.

Personal Accident cover extends beyond driving to pedestrians and cyclists struck by a motor vehicle, not just occupants of the insured car.

Protected No Claims Discount option (available at additional premium) means the discount survives a single at-fault claim per policy period.

The insurer must be informed immediately upon becoming aware of any civil or criminal proceedings, inquest or fatal enquiry.

Bonus-malus rules

A No Claims Discount (NCD) is applied when no claim is made during the policy period; the NCD is increased at renewal in line with the insurer's scale. Where a claim is made, the NCD is reduced in line with the scale. If recovery from the responsible party has not yet been effected at renewal, the NCD may be temporarily reduced and then restored once full recovery is made, with any extra premium refunded. Protected NCD is available at an additional premium – NCD is not reduced unless two or more claims are registered in the same policy period (excluding windscreen/window glass breakage claims). Windscreen/glass breakage claims, lost keys and locks, and medical expenses do not affect NCD. The NCD scale is published on the insurer's website or available on request.

SourcePage 2

Section: Definitions

If no claim is made under your Policy, we will increase your no claim discount when you renew your Policy in line with the scale we apply at that time. Where you have made a claim, we will reduce your no claim discount in line with the scale that we apply at that time.

Territorial scope

Section 1 (Liability to Others) covers automatically any designated state as defined under the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Risks) Ordinance (Chapter 104 of the Laws of Malta) and any subsidiary legislation. Cover for loss or damage to the vehicle (Sections 2 and 3) is limited to the Maltese Islands; extension to Designated States or third countries requires additional premium and/or Green Card.
