Legal defence costs
Covered
Court costs (cheltuieli de judecată) are included as a covered basic risk under the RCA policy. The amount is determined per case within the statutory liability limits.
Green Card / international coverage
Covered
The RCA policy serves as the Green Card for international travel. For passenger cars and light vans (up to 7.5t) it is valid in all EU/EEA states, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and additionally in Albania, Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Morocco, Moldova, North Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Tunisia, Turkey, and Ukraine. For other vehicle categories the territorial scope is limited to EU/EEA, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Roadside assistance
Excluded
Roadside assistance is not listed as a covered risk in the Generali RCA PID or product page. The policy covers transport of the damaged third-party vehicle as part of property damage but does not include a standalone roadside assistance service.
Driver accident coverage (Benefit / Benefit Plus)
RON 10K – RON 20K
Optional add-on covering the policyholder's driver in case of death or permanent invalidity resulting from a road accident. Available in two packages: Benefit (10,000 RON for death or invalidity) and Benefit Plus (20,000 RON, double the Benefit amounts). Both packages carry the same territorial scope and validity period as the main RCA contract.
Key conditions
Driver restrictions
The policyholder must declare the drivers on the contract. The bonus-malus classification is based on the driving history of the insured/declared drivers. If the vehicle is taken and used without the owner's consent and this is reported in writing to the police, the insured's bonus-malus class is not affected.
Claim notification deadline
The policyholder must notify the RCA insurer of an insured event within 5 working days of the accident occurring. Within the same 5-day period the policyholder must also notify the insurer if: (a) the injured party has claimed compensation from it; (b) criminal or administrative proceedings have been initiated against the policyholder; (c) the injured party has filed a claim with a court or authority; (d) information in the RCA contract has changed during the contract period.
Bonus-malus rules
The bonus-malus system has 17 classes: base class B0 (100% of premium), 8 bonus classes (B1–B8, ranging from 95% down to 50% of premium) and 8 malus classes (M1–M8, ranging from 110% up to 180% of premium). New policyholders without insurance history start at B0. Each claim-free year advances the policyholder one bonus class. Each paid claim results in a two-class malus penalty. Individual policyholders holding multiple vehicles share the same bonus-malus class across all vehicles. Legal entities apply bonus-malus separately per vehicle.
