Finance Protection

• Naturally, as an Alfa Romeo buyer you’ll select the best possible insurance cover, but what does that cover actually include? However comprehensive, it cannot be all encompassing. Unemployment, illness or accidents can stop any of us in our tracks, and your car could be stolen or written off. Should the worst occur, you don’t want to be concerned about repayments or being out of pocket.
  Like every Alfa Romeo driver you want to enjoy your car to the full, and we can help. By giving you the clear information you need to make a well judged decision about protection, we can cover you against the ‘what ifs’.

  Finance Protection Overview

  How long does my Payment Protection Insurance run for?
  
  The policy will continue for the term of your finance agreement and will terminate when that agreement ends or when you cancel the policy. When you permanently retire from paid work or reach the age of 65, the benefits in Premier will be automatically transferred in to Hospitalisation and Funeral Expenses cover, the benefits in Standard will automatically be transferred to Hospitalisation.
  
  
  What happens if I am over 65, have permanently retired or will become so during the length of the policy?
  
  When you permanently retire from paid work, the cover under Accident & Sickness along with Involuntary unemployment cover will no longer be available to you as there is no longer any income being generated by you for paid work to protect. Your benefits will change for the remaining balance of the finance agreement until the policy end date.
  Hospitalisation Benefit– Should you be admitted to hospital in the UK for any reason other than cosmetic surgical procedures for a period greater than 5 consecutive 24 hour periods, a daily payment of £50 for each subsequent 24 hour period that you are continuously hospitalised will be paid until you cease to be hospitalised or we have made 20 daily payments in any one event of hospitalisation or in total under the policy.
  Funeral Expenses Benefit – If you die after the starting date and before the end date of the Policy, a lump sum of £1,000 will be paid to the Executor of your Estate to help with funeral expenses. There are no exclusions applicable to this.
