Please read this document carefully. This doesn’t contain the full terms and conditions of cover, but highlights the main features and benefits depending on the applicable Policy Cover, and significant or unusual exclusions that apply to the Policy as a whole. A significant exclusion is something which may affect your decision about whether this policy meets your needs. Full terms and conditions can be found within the Policy Booklet which is available at www.rsagroup.ie
This policy is underwritten by RSA Insurance Ireland Limited (RSA). RSA Insurance Ireland Ltd. is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland.

Comprehensive policies now have automatic comprehensive cover for the policyholder whilst driving other private motor cars, where the vehicle value does not exceed €50,000 and the vehicle’s engine size does not exceed 3,500cc. Third Party Fire and Theft policies have automatic third party cover for the policyholder whilst driving other private motor cars. Motorcycles, vans/minibuses/ commercial vehicles are excluded and the vehicle must not belong to the policyholder or the policyholder’s employer and must not be hired to him/her under a hire purchase agreement.
If you use the recommended windscreen repairer, Autoglass 1850 363 655, up to €600 cover applies for Comprehensive and Third Party Fire and Theft policies. If you do not use the recommended windscreen repairer the maximum amount payable is €225.
Temporary replacement car hire of a similar vehicle for up to 7 days for loss or damage claim. For theft claims this is increased to 14 days and theft claim will be settled after 14 days.

Vehicle Acceptance Criteria The value of the vehicle does not affect your premium as long as it does not exceed the maximum value allowed of €100,000 for Comprehensive policies and €50,000 for Third Party Fire and Theft policies. The scheme will accommodate vehicles up to 5,000cc but excludes modified or high performance vehicles. Commercial vehicles/vans are also excluded.
If selected, this means that cover is provided for 1 unlimited claim within a 3 year period without affecting your No Claims Bonus at renewal. If you have No Claims Bonus Protection and have a claim that would otherwise have affected your earned NCD years, your earned NCD years entitlement will be maintained but not advanced.
*This is an optional extra & does not need to be purchased in order to buy the main product. Your certificate of insurance will confirm if this cover applies. Please refer to your quotation pack to see if this cover has been included in your quote.
Automatically included, which means that in the event that you claim (i.e. excluding malicious damage, fire/theft claims or claims within the partial No Claims Bonus limit), you will not lose your full No Claims Bonus. Instead, your No Claims Bonus will be stepped back by 3 years.
There is no policy excess for windscreen claims. The standard policy excess is €325 for own damage. For drivers aged 17 to 24, the excess is €575. Excess will be reduced by €50 where an approved repairer is used. In the event of claims arising from vehicle being driven into water the applicable excess is doubled.
