Unique selling points
Base 'all-risks' cover protects industrial machinery against any external damage rather than a narrow list of named perils, with only explicit exclusions applying.
Protection follows the equipment through its full operational lifecycle — in operation, at rest, during assembly/disassembly and during maintenance or repair.
Third-party liability cover extends beyond active use to road transport of the equipment, including loading and unloading operations.
A wide menu of optional covers (strikes and riots, vandalism, seismic phenomena, debris removal, overtime/special freight, foundation damage, liability) lets businesses tailor protection to their specific machinery risk.
No claims-based premium loading or bonus system is applied to this policy, unlike typical bonus-malus motor products.
Coverage limits
Equipment Damage (All-Risks Base Cover)
Covered
Base 'all-risks' cover guaranteeing, up to the capital insured for each item stated in the Particular Conditions, direct damage to the insured machinery/equipment from any cause occurring during the policy period, except the exclusions set out in the General, Special and Particular Conditions. The IPID states an aggregate limit of up to €1,250,000 per policy and risk location, with a per-machine limit of up to €500,000. Cover applies while equipment is in operation, at rest, being assembled/disassembled, or under maintenance/repair; it does not apply to machines circulating on public roads under their own power.
Section: Que riscos são segurados? > Coberturas Incluídas
Garante, até ao limite dos capitais seguros para cada um dos bens seguros discriminados e valorados nas Condições Particulares, os danos diretamente causados nesses bens, em consequência de sinistro ocorrido dentro do período de vigência da apólice, qualquer que seja a sua causa, salvo as constantes das exclusões estabelecidas nas Condições Gerais, Especiais e Particulares aplicáveis.
Total Loss Settlement
Covered
A good is deemed a total loss when it is not technically repairable or when repair cost equals or exceeds its market value before the loss. Indemnification corresponds to the replacement value, in new condition, of an identical item on the day of the loss, plus assembly, normal freight and customs costs, less depreciation for use and condition before the loss; capped by the capital insured stated in the Particular Conditions.
Section: CAPÍTULO V > ARTIGO 24.º – Determinação do valor da indemnização
No caso de perda total de um bem seguro, a MAPFRE liquidará uma indemnização correspondente ao valor que o bem seguro afetado tinha à data do sinistro. Esse valor será determinado com base nos critérios estabelecidos no artigo 6.º considerando-se o valor de substituição, em novo no dia do sinistro, de um bem com idênticas características e rendimento, acrescido das despesas de montagem, fretes normais e direitos alfandegários, deduzindo-se o valor relativo à depreciação inerente ao seu uso e estado antes da ocorrência do sinistro.
Partial Loss Repair Cover
Covered
When damage is repairable, indemnification includes all expenses necessary to restore the good to the condition it was in immediately before the loss, including disassembly, assembly, freight and customs costs; if such expenses equal or exceed the pre-loss value, the total-loss settlement rule applies instead. Capped by the capital insured stated in the Particular Conditions.
Section: CAPÍTULO V > ARTIGO 24.º – Determinação do valor da indemnização
Se os danos sofridos pelo bem seguro forem reparáveis, serão englobadas no cálculo da indemnização todas as despesas necessárias para o repor nas mesmas condições em que se encontrava imediatamente antes de ocorrer o sinistro, compreendendo as despesas decorrentes de trabalhos de desmontagem, montagem, fretes ou direitos alfandegários se os houver.
Theft / Robbery
Excluded
Simple theft (furto simples) and its attempt are explicitly excluded from all coverages under the General Conditions' general exclusions. Theft/robbery is additionally excluded specifically within the optional Strikes & Riots (CE02), Vandalism (CE03) and Seismic Phenomena (CE04) covers, whether or not committed with breaking-and-entry or violence, when related to the risks those specific covers insure.

Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
Not applicable: this is industrial machinery/equipment casco insurance rather than a licensed-driver motor policy, so no driver age or experience requirements are stated in any reviewed source.
Repair network requirements
No mandatory repair network is specified. MAPFRE reserves the right to pay the indemnity in cash or to replace, repair, or reconstruct the insured goods; when MAPFRE opts to replace/repair, the insured must provide reasonable cooperation and refrain from hindering the works.
Anti-theft requirements
No specific anti-theft device or security requirement is mandated. However, simple theft (without breaking-and-entry) is a general exclusion applicable to the whole contract, and losses already existing at the time of loss or discovered only during an inventory/control review are also excluded.
Claim notification deadline
In the event of a loss, the insured must notify MAPFRE in writing as soon as possible and never later than 8 days from the date of occurrence or from becoming aware of it, take reasonable steps to prevent or limit the consequences, and cooperate with MAPFRE in establishing the causes.
Deductible rules
Per-claim deductibles apply to specific optional covers: Strikes & Riots, Vandalism, Overtime & Special Freight Expenses and Third-Party Liability carry a deductible of 10% of the claim with a minimum of €125 per item of equipment; Seismic Phenomena carries a deductible of 5% of the capital insured. The deductible is not enforceable against injured third parties under the Liability cover.
Direct payment
Payment by direct debit, cash or bank cheque, at any MAPFRE store or the contract's broker, CTT post office counters or PayShop agents. Annual contracts are payable at inception and on the dates set in the premium notice, with the option of semi-annual or quarterly instalments; temporary contracts are payable upon inception.
Territorial scope
Unless otherwise agreed in the Particular Conditions or in each Special Condition, the contract only produces effects for events occurring in mainland Portugal and the Autonomous Regions of Madeira and the Azores.
