|---|---|
| New car replacement | If your car is less than a year old when it's stolen (and not recovered) or when it's damaged, our policy will offer to replace the car with a new car of the same make and model, if such a car is available in Ireland. You must be the original registered owner of the car and the car must be damaged in a sigle accident resulting in a repair or re-instatement cost of more than 50% of the value of the car when new. |
| Personal belongings | Up to €150 for any one event, for loss or damage to rugs, clothing and personal belongings (not including stamps, money, documents, securities or trade goods) that happens in the car by fire, theft or accidental damage. |
| Replacement lock | For replacing door locks, boot locks, the ignition steering lock, the lock transmitter and the central-locking interface, if your car keys or the lock transmitter are lost or stolen. |
| Fire brigade charges | Up to € 1,000 per claim to cover the cost of fire brigade charges which you may have to pay as a result of the fire brigade being called to control or put out a fire in your car, or remove you or your passengers from the car. We will pay this benefit only if there is a valid claim on your policy for the event. |
| Breakdown rescue | You'll get the full support of Aviva's emergency breakdown assistance to get you going as soon as possible - and your car is covered if it breaks down in the 32 counties of Ireland, and in England, Scotland or Wales. Breakdown rescue also includes, among other covers, driveway breakdown assistance at your home address. |
| Windscreen cover | If you use Aviva’s aligned windscreen repairers, no limit applies in the event of a windscreen claim. If you use any other repairer there is a limit of €225 for any single event. |
JourneyWise accident cover
JourneyWise (also referred to as Personal Accident benefit) includes cover in the event of accidental bodily injury to any person named on your policy schedule. We will pay €26,000 in the event of death, loss of sight or loss of arm or leg and we will pay €130 for each day spent as an inpatient in hospital, for up to 20 days. You are covered while getting into or out of a private car, or any train, bus, taxi, aircraft, boat, ship or hovercraft (as a fare-paying passenger).
Protected no-claims discount
This option allows you to have up to two claims in a three year period, without losing your no-claims discount.
We will not take into account claims for windscreen breakage or fire or theft for the purposes of this optional cover.
No-claims discount step-back
If you make a single claim or one arises during any period of insurance, we will reduce your no-claims discount as follows:
5 years no claims - 50% discount reduces to 20%
4 years no claims - 40% discount reduces to 10%
3 years no claims or less - 30% discount reduces to nil
Open driving
With this option you can allow any driver aged 25 to 70 years to drive your car once they have a full EU licence.
Policy excess options
The policy excess is the amount we will ask you to contribute towards the cost of a claim for accidental damage under your policy if you are covered comprehensively (accidental damage cover does not apply to third party, fire and theft cover).
The standard policy excess is €300. You can choose to increase or reduce this excess by agreeing to a reduced or increased premium. Here's your options:
Reduced excess
We will reduce your excess to €125 in return for a 5% increase on your premium (this option is only available if you hold a full E.U. driving licence).
Increased excess
We will increase your excess to €600 in return for a premium discount of 5%.
| You are not obliged to purchase any of the above optional covers with our Premier insurance policy. |

test 5% discount if you have a savings account or your mortgage with us, or 10% discount if you have a savings account and mortgage with us
