Unique selling points

Optional Facultative Civil Liability can be extended up to 50,000,000 €, far above the legal minimum.

No deductible or salvage deduction is applied on total-loss claims when the salvage value does not exceed 30% of the vehicle's market value.

After a total loss, Fidelidade actively searches for and helps source a replacement vehicle with characteristics similar to the insured car.

The Facultative Civil Liability cover automatically extends to liability incurred while charging the vehicle's batteries at public or private charging points.

Assistência em Viagem PLUS provides unlimited-value sanitary repatriation and vehicle transport/repatriation with no capped ceiling.

Optional

Replacement Vehicle (Nível 1)

Optional

The Autoestima-specific benefits table lists Veículo de Substituição Nível 1 as an optional cover ('(o)'), providing a base/equivalent-range replacement vehicle in case of accident. Note: the pre-contractual information document (IPC/DIPS) shows the same Nível 1 cover for Autoestima without an optional marker, which conflicts with the product-specific table; this record follows the narrower Autoestima table and flags the discrepancy.

Covered

Driver Accident Protection (Proteção ao Condutor / Proteção Vital do Condutor)

€10K – €500K

Autoestima includes driver personal-accident cover in one of two mutually exclusive forms: Proteção ao Condutor, paying 10,000 €/1,000 €, 50,000 €/5,000 € or 100,000 €/10,000 € (death or permanent disability / treatment expenses), or Proteção Vital do Condutor, a broader indemnity of 500,000 € covering future patrimonial loss, biological damage, home/vehicle/workplace adaptation and related benefits. Only one of the two can be in force at a time.

Key conditions

Driver age and experience limit

The Autoestima own-damage covers do not impose a general driver age or experience eligibility requirement. Age-related limitations found elsewhere in the policy (e.g. death indemnity limited to funeral costs for persons over 75) apply only to the optional Proteção ao Condutor/Proteção Vital do Condutor and Dívida Segura riders, not to the own-damage covers themselves.

Repair network requirements

Repairs must be carried out at a workshop selected by Fidelidade within the Autoestima network; the insurer may use used parts or parts produced by independent aftermarket manufacturers (IAM), provided correct vehicle function is guaranteed. The policyholder does not have free choice of repairer.

Anti-theft requirements

The theft/robbery cover excludes disappearance, destruction or damage caused by temporarily abandoning the vehicle open and/or with the key inside in a public place. A police report must be filed immediately, and indemnity is only due once 60 days have elapsed since the report if the vehicle has not been recovered.

Claim notification deadline

The policyholder or insured must notify the insurer in writing within 8 days of the accident or of becoming aware of it, providing all documentary and/or testimonial evidence relevant to determining liability.

Deductible rules

A single 250 € deductible applies to Choque, Colisão ou Capotamento claims and to Riscos Sociais e Políticos/Atos de Vandalismo claims; the deductible is always subtracted by the insurer from the indemnity, even when payment is made directly to the repair workshop. No deductible or salvage deduction applies on total loss when the salvage value is 30% or less of the vehicle's market value.

Direct payment

Fidelidade settles own-damage claims either by repairing the vehicle through a workshop it selects within the Autoestima network, replacing it, or paying a cash indemnity; the insurer may use used parts or parts produced by independent aftermarket manufacturers (IAM) provided correct vehicle function is guaranteed.

Territorial scope

Own-damage covers apply within the EU plus Andorra, Gibraltar, Iceland, Norway, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Serbia (territorial scope 'G3'); Assistance in Viagem PLUS extends worldwide for injured persons, subject to specific sub-limits.

Exclusions

Exclusion: Theft and Robbery (unless contracted separately)
