Key conditions

Driver age and experience limit

For Choque, Colisão ou Capotamento, if the driver at the time of the claim is under 25 years old and/or has held a licence for less than 2 years, and the driver declared in the policy does not have those characteristics, the applicable deductible increases to 10% of the insured value (instead of the standard 0%/2%).

Repair network requirements

Deductibles on glass cover (50€) are waived only when repair or replacement is carried out at a specialist glass workshop within MAPFRE Santander's provider network; otherwise the standard deductible applies.

Anti-theft requirements

No anti-theft device is required by default. Only if the optional 'Alarme' particular clause is expressly included in the Condições Particulares must the vehicle be fitted with, and the policyholder keep active, a sound alarm against theft/robbery/unauthorised use; failure to do so proportionally reduces the indemnity payable under that cover.

Claim notification deadline

Claims must be reported to MAPFRE Santander in writing within a maximum of 8 days from the date of the occurrence or from the date the policyholder/insured became aware of it.

Deductible rules

Choque/Colisão/Capotamento: 0% for vehicles up to 24 months old, otherwise 2% of insured value (min. 250€); increases to 10% for young/inexperienced undeclared drivers. Quebra de Vidros/Quebra Isolada de Vidros: 50€, waived at MAPFRE network glass specialists. Atos Maliciosos: min. 125€ for vehicles up to 24 months, otherwise 2% (min. 250€). Furto/Roubo, Incêndio/Raio/Explosão and Riscos Catastróficos: no deductible.

Direct payment

For own-damage (Danos Próprios) claims, MAPFRE Santander settles directly with its repair/glass network by repairing or replacing the damaged item rather than reimbursing the policyholder; the insurer may also indicate which repairer will carry out the work.

Territorial scope

Own-damage (Danos Próprios) and vehicle guarantees automatically and free of charge extend to countries adhering to the Green Card agreement not otherwise excluded; travel assistance to persons is worldwide (max. 60 consecutive days), while vehicle/occupant assistance and legal defence abroad are limited to Europe and Mediterranean-rim countries.
