Coverage limits
Own damage (collision and external forces)
PLN 200K
In the Maxicasco variant, the policy covers both partial and total loss arising from collision, external mechanical force, third-party actions, fire, explosion, flooding, natural forces, thermal or chemical factors from outside, and theft. In the Minicasco variant, only total loss events are covered. The insured sum equals the market value of the vehicle on the policy date, up to a maximum of 200,000 PLN. Damages below 500 PLN are not covered.

Maksymalna suma ubezpieczenia do przyjęcia do ubezpieczenia wynosi 200.000 PLN.
Total loss
PLN 200K
A total loss occurs when repair costs exceed 70% of the vehicle's market value on the date of the loss. In both Minicasco and Maxicasco variants, total loss is covered. Compensation equals the market value of the vehicle at the time of loss, not exceeding the insured sum (maximum 200,000 PLN). The insured sum is reduced by each paid indemnity.
Section: Świadczenie ubezpieczeniowe
Jeśli koszt naprawy przekracza 70% wartości pojazdu w dniu zdarzenia wówczas Towarzystwo kwalifikuje to jako szkodę całkowitą.
Partial loss
PLN 200K
Partial loss coverage (repair costs not exceeding 70% of the vehicle's market value) is available in the Maxicasco variant only. Minicasco does not cover partial losses. Repair cost value is assessed based on market value at the date of loss and the settlement method chosen (cost estimate or workshop).
Theft and robbery
PLN 200K
Theft of the entire vehicle is covered under both Minicasco and Maxicasco variants. Anti-theft device requirements apply: one device for vehicles up to 100,000 PLN market value; two devices for vehicles above 100,000 PLN. Theft coverage is excluded on the territory of Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey. Coverage does not apply if keys or vehicle documents were left unsecured in or with the vehicle due to the insured's intentional act or gross negligence.
Glass damage (windscreen insurance)
PLN 4K
Separate optional glass insurance ("Szyby w pojeździe") covers repair or replacement of the front, rear, and side windows. The insured sum is 4,000 PLN per policy year. Coverage applies to vehicles whose age does not exceed 20 years. The value of loss is determined based on comparable-quality or original parts plus workshop labour. This is a separately priced add-on to the Bezpieczny Pojazd package and is not part of the AC base coverage.

Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
No specific minimum driver age or experience requirement is stated in the Karta Produktu for the AC product. General underwriting criteria (age, driving licence history) are taken into account when calculating the premium.
Repair network requirements
In the Maxicasco variant with workshop settlement (wariant serwisowy), the repair may be carried out in any workshop. The cost estimate method (wariant kosztorysowy) is available in both Minicasco and Maxicasco. In Minicasco, only the cost estimate method is available. Repair settlement uses comparable-quality or original parts and the workshop's hourly rate.
Anti-theft requirements
For theft coverage to apply, the vehicle must be equipped with at least one approved anti-theft device (for vehicles with market value up to 100,000 PLN) or two devices (for vehicles above 100,000 PLN). Devices must be correctly armed at the time of loss and keys/documents must be secured outside the vehicle. Theft cover may be denied if anti-theft conditions were violated due to the insured's intentional act or gross negligence.
Claim notification deadline
The insured must notify the insurer of the loss without undue delay. In the event of theft or any loss that may have arisen from a criminal act, notification to the local police must occur immediately (within 24 hours of becoming aware of the event). A formal claim form must be submitted as directed by the insurer. Claims are settled within 30 days of notification; if circumstances cannot be clarified within 30 days, within 14 days of the date on which clarification became possible.
Deductible rules
Losses with a value not exceeding 500 PLN are not covered (franchise integrale). No general percentage deductible is stated for AC base coverage in the Karta Produktu. The insured sum is reduced by each paid indemnity.

Direct payment
The insurer does not provide direct payment to repair shops by default; the standard settlement method is cost estimate (kosztorys). In the Maxicasco variant, the insured may choose the workshop settlement method (wariant serwisowy). Claims are paid to the vehicle owner or their authorized representative.
Territorial scope
Coverage applies in Poland and within the geographical boundaries of Europe. Theft claims are excluded in Belarus, Moldova, Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey. Maxicasco additionally covers Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, and Israel.
