Unique selling points

Bodily injury liability limit of 6,070,000 EUR per accident — among the highest statutory limits in the EU — protecting against the most severe multi-victim accident scenarios.

Injured third parties benefit from free choice of any authorised repair workshop, with no insurer-imposed network restrictions.

RCA policy simultaneously serves as the Green Card (International Motor Insurance Certificate), valid across EU, EEA, and connected non-EU territories without additional documentation.

Flexible policy durations from 1 to 12 months with instalment payment options, including enforceable title status for unpaid instalments protecting the insurer's receivables.

Claims compensation paid directly to the injured third party within 30 calendar days of the last required document, with damages assessed by the insurer's own experts at no extra cost to the claimant.
