Q: Why do I have to pay an excess towards the courtesy car?
A: If you have an accident in a courtesy car or the courtesy car has been vandalised or stolen, you’ll normally be covered in the same way as you would be with your own car. That means you will need to pay an excess if the courtesy car is written off or in need of repair.
Q: When does the Courtesy Car Excess Protection cover start?
A: The Courtesy Car Excess Protection will be in force from the date as specified in your policy schedule, which will be the same date the courtesy car is delivered to you.
Q: How long am I covered for under the Courtesy Car Excess Protection?
A: The period of cover is from the date the courtesy car is delivered to you until the date in which your own car has been repaired and the courtesy car is returned.
Q: How much Courtesy Car Excess Protection cover will I have?
A: This Courtesy Car Excess Protection covers up to £500.
Q: How many times can I claim on the Courtesy Car Excess Protection policy?
A: You can claim under this insurance more than once during the period of insurance, but we will only reimburse you up to a total limit of £500.
Q: If I want to cover a higher excess amount, can I have multiple Courtesy Car Excess Protection policies?
A: No, you can only take out one Courtesy Car Excess Protection policy.
Q: Does this Courtesy Car Excess Protection cover other drivers?
A: Yes, as long as they are entitled to drive the courtesy car under the motor insurance policy.
Q: How do I claim on the Courtesy Car Excess Protection?
A: Please contact us on one of the below methods, within 6 months of the date you have paid the excess:
Call: 0333 241 9573
Email: claims@coplus.co.uk
Online claims form: courtesyexcess.coplus.co.uk
Address: Coplus Claims, Floor 2 Norfolk Tower, 48-52 Surrey Street, Norwich, NR1 3PA
Q: Do I need to pay the courtesy excess before I can make a claim?
A:Yes, you can only claim once you have paid the excess for the courtesy car and can provide us with evidence that this has been paid.
Q: What evidence do I need to provide when making a claim?
A: We will need to see evidence confirming the amount of excess you have paid, this would usually be a receipt from the repairer or a letter from the insurer. Our claim advisers will be able to tell you exactly what is needed once you have contacted us to make a claim on the Courtesy Car Excess Protection.
Q: Will claiming on the Courtesy Car Excess Protection impact my no claims bonus?
A: This excess protection policy does not offer any protection for your non-claims bonus, so it’s likely to be affected if you make a fault claim. There is no no-claims bonus earned on this excess protection policy itself.
Q: Can I make a claim under the Courtesy Car Excess Protection for any excess I have paid towards my own vehicle under my main insurance policy?
A:No, the policy is designed to cover any excess in relation to the courtesy car as shown in your policy schedule.
Q: If I claim on the Courtesy Car Excess Protection, will I be guaranteed a payout?
A: There are some incidents that would not be covered, the full list of exclusions can be found in your Policy Wordings. Or you can contact our claims team and they will be able to assist:
