Am I covered for business travel?

Yes, your fuel & go total care package covers you for both personal and business use of your leased vehicle. You are not restricted to the types of journeys you make, subject to trade usage criteria in your contract.

Who provides cover for my vehicle?

AIG will insure the vehicle for third party liability cover. The insurance policy is in the name of Arval UK Ltd who hold this policy on behalf of you. Arval provide the cover for the own damage protection (which is explained in more detail below).

What is Own Damage Protection?

Arval will be responsible for repairing any damage to your vehicle resulting from an incident. You will not be responsible for the costs but you will be required to pay the Customer Incident Charge (CIC) as further explained below.

The Own Damage Protection will not protect you against damage caused or resulting from driver abuse or neglect. If any damage is caused by the fault of a third party then Arval will recover the costs directly from them.

What is an incident?

An incident is either an event or accident resulting in damage, loss or theft of the fuel & go total care vehicle or damage to a third party property or personal injury / death of a third party.

I’ve been involved in an incident, what should I do?

You must contact Arval at the earliest opportunity and make sure that it is safe and legal to do so. You can reach their driver support contact centre on 0370 600 4499 and select ‘report and accident’.

Arval’s accident management partner will record the relevant details and either get your vehicle recovered if it is immobile or allocate a repairer.

What is a customer incident charge (CIC)?

In the event of an incident where it is considered that you are "at fault", you will be required to pay the CIC. This includes any claim where we are unable to recover costs from a third party. The CIC varies depending on the number of "at fault" incidents for the vehicle.

Arval has an escalating CIC dependent on the number of "at fault" incidents incurred during the contract term. This is designed to maintain a fixed monthly rental for the duration of your contract.

It is necessary to levy a higher incident charge when there have been multiple incidents during the contract term. The CIC is a contribution to the losses incurred by Arval as a result of the incident. If the repair costs are less than the CIC, then they will only charge you the cost of the repair.

Am I entitled to a replacement vehicle when mine is off the road due to an incident?

You are entitled to a courtesy vehicle for the duration of the vehicle repair and is subject to the repairer’s conditions. Please note this will not be a like for like replacement of your existing lease vehicle.

If you would like a separate rental vehicle, Arval can assist in booking this. The costs of the rental vehicle including the collision damage waiver insurance provided by the rental company must be covered by you. The rental agreement will be between you and the rental company.

Am I entitled to a replacement vehicle if mine is off the road due to a mechanical failure / maintenance work?

If the repairer has a courtesy vehicle available the you can utilise this while your vehicle is being repaired, subject to their conditions.

What happens if my vehicle is deemed a total loss as a result of an incident?

The lease will be terminated as soon as our assessors have confirmed the vehicle is not economic to repair. At this point, if you were considered to be "at fault", Arval will invoice the Customer Incident Charge (CIC) due to you. Your liability for the monthly rental of the vehicle will cease at this point.

If there is a third party at fault, Arval will seek to recover the costs from the third party’s insurers. If the losses are not recoverable due to any act or omission by you / your driver, then Arval reserves the right to invoice any losses to you.

What happens if my vehicle is stolen?

You must notify the police and then Arval (quoting your crime reference number) within 24 hours. Arval’s Accident Management provider will monitor the progress directly with the police.

After 21 days if the vehicle hasn’t been recovered, or has been recovered but has been deemed a total loss, then the vehicle lease will be terminated at Arval and your monthly rental liability will cease for any future rentals. At this point, Arval will invoice the relevant Customer Incident Charge (CIC) to you.

If there has been an act, omission or negligence by you or your driver which contributed to, or resulted in the theft of the vehicle (e.g. the keys are left in the vehicle) then the termination costs will be borne by you. If at a later point the vehicle is recovered and sold or any monies are received, these will be credited back to you up to the value of the charge you received.

Is the fee for fuel & go total care fixed for the contract term?

Yes, your monthly rental will be only change if Arval mutually agree a change (if applicable) or as a result of Arval exercising its rights under the contract, for example if you travel materially more miles than agreed (and the vehicle is reconstructed) or the vehicle is involved in two or more at fault incidents in a 12 month period. In which case, Arval will discuss your options with you.

What are the rules around towing?

The driver will need to ensure that they comply with the legal requirement around the weight they will be towing. In regards to insurance cover, the vehicle will be covered for all ATC services, however, the towing item i.e. a caravan etc, will only be covered for Third Party Liability only.

Can I be provided with a ‘no claims letter’ at the end of my contract?

Arval can provide a driver history letter which will detail the number of years ‘claim free’ for the driver for the duration of the lease, this will be available upon request.

We cannot guarantee all insurance companies will accept the documentation that Arval provide.
