Below is a summary of the key terms of these Terms of Use. This summary is for your reference only and does not form part of the Terms of Use.
● Use of the App is subject to these Terms of Use - if you don't agree to the Terms of Use, please stop using the App immediately.
● The App is for your personal use only and may not be commercialised, resold, or redistributed in any way.
● When you make payments to third parties for Services using the App, we act as your agent in respect of those payments and we have no liability to you for any acts, omissions, errors or defaults of the providers of those Services. You will be subject to the relevant provider's terms of use and privacy policy (which will be different from ours) and you should read those carefully.
● The App is provided on an “as is” basis and we don’t guarantee that all the information in the App is up to date or accurate at all times and we accept no liability for inaccuracies or omissions. We recommend that you check the accuracy and completeness of any information before relying on it.
● We license the use of the App to you on the basis of these terms and subject to any rules or policies applied by any Appstore Provider from whose site you downloaded our App.
Here at Caura, we don’t really like long terms and conditions, but these are important. The Caura Terms of Use set out in this document, together with our Caura Privacy Policy, set out the rules which cover our relationship with you in relation to our App.
These apply to you if you use our App and are legally binding so please read them. You may also want to print them out or save them on your device in case you ever want to come back to them in the future.
Please remember that these Terms of Use aren’t a complete list of all your or our rights or responsibilities, as there might be others under general law. If you want more information about your general rights as a consumer, contact a consumer advice organisation, such as the Citizens’ Advice Bureau.
The App is provided to you subject to these Terms of Use (the "terms"). By using the App you agree to these terms. If you do not agree with these terms, you must not use the App
We are Caura Ltd (also referred to as "we", "our" and "Caura"). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 11520538 and have our registered office at 1 Horse Guards Avenue, London, England, SW1A 2HU.
Our data controller registration number is ZA603130 and you can check our registration on the Data Protection Public Register by visiting https://www.ico.org.uk/esdwebpages/search.
Caura is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, FCA registration 923662. You can check this by visiting the Financial Services Register or by contacting the FCA on 0800 111 6768
The Caura mobile application (the "App") is an independent online platform made available by us which provides a range of functionality in connection with your vehicle including the ability to make certain payments to third parties in order to receive the benefit of their services (“Services”). The App aims to make car-related matters effortless by allowing you to manage and track them in one place.
The App allows you to make payments to service providers including, but not limited to:
● Statutory charges (e.g. London’s Congestion Charge, London’s ULEZ Charge, Vehicle Excise Duty, Clean Air Zone charges)
● Toll charges (e.g. Dart Charge)
When you use the App to purchase a Service from a third-party provider, you will appoint us to purchase the Service in your name from the relevant third party. We will do this by communicating your details to the third party. You acknowledge that we will be authorised (under these Terms of Use) to conclude the purchase of the Service you have selected on your behalf, so once we communicate your details to the third party, this is essentially the same as if you had communicated them directly to the third party. The resulting purchase will be between you and the third party directly, we solely conclude your purchase of the Service, we do not perform it or act on behalf of the third party. If you experience any issues relating to the Services you purchase via the App, you must contact the relevant provider. We have no liability to you for any acts, omissions, errors or defaults of the providers in connection with the Services. For more details, please see section 15 (Liability Disclaimer) below.
In respect of payments for any Services, we will act as your agent in respect of those payments. We will settle the amount due for the purchase of Services on your behalf, and you will reimburse us for the full amount. We use a third-party payment service provider, Stripe, to process payments for Services purchased through the App.
The App is free for you to use, we may receive a fee or commission from some providers when you use or purchase their services via our App.
Please be aware that you will be subject to the relevant provider's terms of use and privacy policy (which will be different from ours) and you should read those carefully.
We are not responsible for processing refunds for Statutory charges and Toll charges. Refunds are dependent on our discretion and the policy of the relevant provider.
If you have any questions relating to these terms, if you are having any trouble using the App or if you wish to make a complaint, please contact us by emailing us at support@caura.com OR by using the in-app messaging functionality.
If you have a reason to make a complaint you can contact us and we follow the process below
These service standards do not apply where we have been able to resolve your complaint by close of business on the business day following its receipt.
A compliant is defined by the Financial Conduct Authority as “any oral or written expression of dissatisfaction, whether justified or not, from, or on behalf of, a person about the provision of, or failure to provide, a financial service or a redress determination, which alleges that the complainant has suffered (or may suffer) financial loss, material distress or material inconvenience; and relates to an activity of that respondent, or of any other respondent with whom that respondent has some connection in marketing or providing financial services or products, which comes under the jurisdiction of the Financial Ombudsman Service.”
We undertake to treat all complainants equally and fairly regardless of whether or not they are entitled to refer to the FOS.
If we can complete our investigation of your complaint and provide a final response within five business days of receipt of your complaint, we will include our findings in our acknowledgment letter.
First, get in touch, as soon as possible, we want to hear from you and you can contact us by any method below:

Depending on how you’ve notified us of your complaint we will contact you to acknowledge receipt of your complaint within five days (we’ll try our best to achieve immediate acknowledgement) and will investigate your complaint, keep you updated, and share with you our findings and outcome.
We will start investigating your complaint the moment we receive it and will aim to resolve it as soon as possible thereafter, but usually within 4-6 weeks. However, if we’re going to need a little longer we’ll ensure you’re kept up to speed. We will respond to your complaint with our findings and outcome within eight weeks, at the very latest. If, when you’ve received our response and you’re not happy with the outcome you can refer it to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS). We’ll remind you of this at the time of writing.
Absolutely not. If you make a complaint it doesn't affect your right to refer your complaint to the FOS, providing we’ve first had a chance to investigate it.
If you don’t agree please get in touch, we will ensure that your case handler explains the reasons as to how we reached our decision and if you’re still unhappy you can request that the FOS review your complaint.

The FCA’s Principle for Businesses 6 states that “a firm must pay due regard to the interests of its customers and treat them fairly”.
We fully accept the right of every complainant (or their agent) to be given a fair hearing and to be treated fairly. Where offering redress, we will always offer a fair amount (including an amount for distress and inconvenience) and will never seek to pressurise a complainant into not contacting the Financial Ombudsman Service.
Rather than treating complaints as an attack on our firm, we will thank customers for raising issues of concern to them and use such complaints as learning experiences.
We fully support the work of the Financial Ombudsman Service and will pro-actively co-operate with it in reaching resolution of any complaints which it receives in relation to our business or the services we have provided. We will pay immediately any amounts awarded against us.
We may amend these terms from time to time, for example, to reflect changes in law, the functionality of the App or the Services offered through it. We will notify changes to these terms in advance via push notifications or any other manner we deem appropriate. Your continued use of the App will confirm your acceptance of the revised terms. Please check the terms whenever you use the App to ensure you understand the terms that apply at that time.
We may update the App and change the Services available on the App from time to time to improve performance, enhance functionality, reflect changes to our users’ needs or our business priorities or to address security issues.

The App is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis. We try to make sure that it will work on each compatible mobile device (please see section 7 (Operating Requirements) above for more details on compatible devices), however, we do not guarantee that the App will be suitable for your needs or that it will work accurately or in any particular way.

We make our App available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store (the “Appstore Providers”). The ways in which you can use the App may also be controlled by the Appstore Provider’s rules and policies. We encourage you to read those rules and policies and ensure that you comply with them. If there are any differences between these terms and the Appstore Provider’s policies, the latter will apply.
You acknowledge that these terms are concluded between you and us, and not with the Appstore Provider. We are solely responsible for the App and its content, not the Appstore Provider. The Appstore Provider has no liability whatsoever to you under these terms or in relation to the App.

Otherwise, nothing in these terms is intended to confer on any person any right to enforce any term of these terms which that person would not have had but for that Act.
Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date.
These terms constitute the whole agreement and understanding between you and us in relation to the use of our App. Except in case of fraud, all previous agreements, understandings, undertakings, representations, warranties, promises and arrangements between you and us relating to the subject matter of these terms or your use of our App are superseded, except as otherwise expressly stated in these terms.
You agree that any notices and other communication may be given by us by email or posted on our App and this will comply with any legal requirement for such communications to be in writing. You also agree that any notice or other communication made in such manner will be deemed received by you 24 hours after email or posting.

If you live in Northern Ireland you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the products in either the Northern Irish or the English and Welsh courts.
The headings used in these terms are for convenience only and shall not affect their interpretation.

Caura occasionally offers promotions / rewards to new and existing users (for example, for inviting friends to Caura, or purchasing certain services from time to time).
Only eligible users who meet the requirements of the offer shall be entitled to receive any rewards
Caura reserves the right to:
● amend, alter or change the promotion at any time, without notice; and
● terminate any promotions at any time, without notice. In the event that any promotion is terminated, Caura will not be obliged to give any person a promotional reward that would have otherwise qualified for it.
You cannot abuse any reward or promotional offer in any way - Caura rewards the right to decide if you are deemed to have abused the offer or reward. If you are suspected of abusing any rewards or promotional offers, your eligibility to any rewards will be nullified and we may suspend or delete your account.
Caura’s AutoPay is a feature that checks with the relevant provider if you have driven into any of the relevant charging zones*, notifies you that you drove in the zone, and automatically takes payment from the registered payment card on your account. When you join, you join the Caura Fleet.
*The relevant charging zones for AutoPay are the London Congestion Charge (CC), the Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge, and the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) charge. We may add new charging zones from time to time.
To use AutoPay, you will need to set up a valid payment card which you authorise Caura to take payment from for each journey you make into London. You are legally liable for any and all charges assigned to the vehicle you have registered on AutoPay. You are solely responsible for updating the compliance status of your vehicle. If your vehicle is incorrectly listed, this is not the responsibility of Caura and you will need to contact TfL to update the compliance status. If your vehicle is charged despite being compliant, Caura will be unable to refund you.
You must be the registered keeper of the vehicle you have registered, or you have the explicit consent of the registered keeper to set up AutoPay.
If you sign up to Caura’s AutoPay you must pay a £20 set up fee per vehicle. This is refundable on cancellation of your AutoPay, so long as you have paid for all of journeys taken in AutoPay charging zones, whilst your AutoPay was active.
If we are unable to set your AutoPay up, this set up fee will be returned to you. It is your responsibility to cancel AutoPay if you sell the vehicle or change the registration plate of the vehicle. You are liable for any charges that come through up to and including the date of cancellation, even if you are not the registered owner of the vehicle. Caura takes no responsibility for charges that are taken from your account where you have sold / disposed of a vehicle and not notified us of this.
You will be registered on AutoPay from the “Active From” date, any journeys made before this date will need to be paid for manually, and Caura takes no liability for charges for these journeys. You can see the “Active From” date in-app within City Charges.
It is your responsibility to check whether you are exempt from, or liable for, the relevant charges before you set up AutoPay and Caura takes no liability for any charges arising on vehicles which are discovered to be exempt later (e.g. due to a vehicle registration plate change).
We may decline to set up your AutoPay for any reason, in particular if you have a poor credit rating or payment history with us. If your AutoPay setup is delayed or aborted, we are not responsible for any penalty charges that you receive.
We may ask you to pay a security deposit before we set up AutoPay. In that case, we won’t be able to set up AutoPay until we have received the security deposit in full. Your AutoPay won’t become active until the day after we have received the security deposit in full.
The amount of security deposit we ask for will depend on your circumstances. For example, the number of cars you would like to set up AutoPay for and your payment history with us.
We can also ask for a security deposit if you have previously had failed or late payments on your account with us, and we will require all outstanding charges to be repaid before setting up AutoPay.
We can also block you from setting up AutoPay with us until any outstanding balance is repaid.
A security deposit may be repaid once you have established a good payment history with us.
If you have paid a security deposit to us, we can use that security deposit to pay off any outstanding charges you owe to us at any time.
If you fail to pay within 3 days of being notified of a charge, we may cancel your AutoPay account and you will need to pay London CC/ULEZ charges manually. You may be suspended from setting up an AutoPay account on Caura again
Payment will be taken automatically from the payment card you set up and we will continue to try to take payment for failed charges each day
If you fail to make payment and the Caura team needs to chase you - a £20 administration charge may be applied on top of the value of outstanding charges
Payment will be taken automatically from the payment card you set up and we will continue to try to take payment for failed charges each day.
You are bound by Transport for London terms of use (https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/terms-and-conditions/pay-to-drive-in-london), some of the terms here may supersede the terms above.
We are not responsible for refunds for incorrect charges. If there is an incorrect charge on your account, we will contact TfL on your behalf, but we are not responsible for their decision.
If you don't pay your AutoPay charges we will cancel your AutoPay. We will retry payment and if this fails, we will send you an invoice for the outstanding charge(s).
If you have failed to make a payment within 7 days of us asking you to either through the in-app messenger or over email then we reserve the right to charge a late payment penalty of £20 for the first missed payment and £20 for each subsequent missed payment to cover the administrative costs of recovering outstanding payment. This amount will be added to your outstanding amount payable.
We may charge you interest on your outstanding amount if it remains unpaid after 14 days. Any interest will be charged at a yearly rate of 4% above the Bank of England base rate. This amount will be added to the outstanding amount on your account.
If your outstanding payments are not paid within 30 days, we can charge you £80 per outstanding payment.
We also reserve the right to suspend or cancel your account in the event of payment failures. This may include preventing you from accessing other Caura services and products.
You may cancel your AutoPay registration at any time
● If you cancel AutoPay - any charges still apply for dates travelled into the charging zones up to and including the date of cancellation. It may take up to 30 days for TfL to notify us of these charges but you are still liable for the charges provided they are for days that are covered under your AutoPay.
● It is your responsibility to cancel AutoPay if you sell the vehicle or change the registration plate of the vehicle. You are liable for any charges that come through up to and including the date of cancellation, even if you are not the registered owner of the vehicle.
● If you cancel and you have no outstanding journeys to pay for, your £20 set up fee will be returned to you.
● If your AutoPay service is cancelled due to payment failures, we will return any remaining balance of your set up fee to you.
● If you have a negative balance due to unpaid journeys, we will recover the outstanding costs from you, plus any late payment or administrative fees as outlined in these terms.
An existing Caura user (the “referrer”) can invite a new user (the “referee”) to Caura, using their own unique invite code. If the referee meets the eligibility criteria, the referee and referrer are awarded a referral reward in the form of in-app credits, which they can apply as a discount to a vehicle insurance purchase in the Caura app. The following rules have to be met:
●As a participant in the refer-a-friend programme, either as a referrer or a referee, you must be over 18 years old and live in the UK
● If a referrer is referring on behalf of a business, we have the right to decide whether the business is eligible to participate
● There is no limit to the number of referees who can be invited by a referrer, and there is no restriction to how many credits a referrer can earn based on their referees purchasing an insurance policy through Caura, however only the first purchase made by each referee will be eligible to qualify the referrer to receive credits
● Referees must be new users within Caura, and can’t have an existing account
● The referee agrees that their name and email address will be shared with the referrer
● It’s the referee’s responsibility to ensure that they are using the correct invite code or link during their signup. If the wrong or no invite code or link is used, then no referral credits will be awarded and we reserve the right to withhold credits for both referrer and referee
● The referee is awarded their credits upon successful signup to Caura
● The referrer is awarded their credits when the referee has purchased a vehicle insurance policy through Caura and the policy has been active for 14 days (the “cooling-off period”). The credits will be awarded to the referrer on or after the 15th day after the policy start date. If the policy purchased by the referee is cancelled during the cooling-off period, no credits will be awarded
o For example - this means that if your referee purchases a policy on 15 May 2022 which is active from 1 June 2022, your referral credits will be awarded on or after 15 June
● Referrers may offer additional rewards - but these are the not the responsibility of Caura and Caura bears no legal responsibility for any additional rewards a referrer promises
● Referral credits are not transferable, and they can’t be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold, and there is no cash equivalent.
● Referral credits can be used for up to 24 months. After this period, they will expire and can’t be used any longer
● If the referral programme is cancelled, any credits that have been awarded up until this date stay active, until they expire as defined above
● If you request your account deletion, any active referral credits will be deleted as well and can’t be restored
● If you have outstanding unpaid invoices/charges to Caura then we may restrict the use of promotional offers, in particular of referral credits, until all balances on your account are paid.
● You can use your credits to purchase a vehicle insurance policy through Caura
● There is no limit on how many credits can be applied to a vehicle insurance policy
● Credits can only be used once. If you purchase a policy where credits are applied and you have insurance quotes for other vehicles where the credits are applied, you have to confirm that upon your policy purchase, those other quotes will be invalidated
● If you cancel an insurance policy which you have purchased with credits applied, the amount of credits you have used will be deducted from the cancellation premium and you may be charged a cancellation fee in line with our insurance Terms of Business Agreement
● You must make it clear when referring that it is a personal recommendation and you do not represent Caura or any Caura employee when promoting your unique invite code.
● You must not represent that you have any affiliation with Caura in making the referral
● If you are promoting your referral link via email, you must comply with the law – including anti-spam laws. If you don’t comply with the law, and legal action is taken against you, Caura is in no way responsible for any consequences and you must compensate Caura for any costs and expenses we may have to pay as a result of this legal action
● Unique links may not be posted or shared on review platforms, including Trustpilot and App Store reviews
● No paid advertising of unique invite links is allowed across any search engines or social media platforms.
● Businesses sharing unique links must have legitimate business interests - for example, a company set up to benefit from the programme will not be allowed to take part and this may impact any partnership you have with Caura and any commissions previously agreed may be revoked
● We reserve the right to verify referrers and referees, and ask for proof of eligibility
● We have no obligation to monitor the content shared. But we may check the content and ban people from referring if we think the content they are sharing is inappropriate
● There may be a delay if we have to investigate assumed fraudulent behaviour. We may refuse awarding referral credits if we think it is suspicious or might have ramifications for us. Decisions are final and binding
● We may suspend your account at any time if you are in breach of this agreement or if we think you are trying to benefit from the referral scheme on a commercial basis rather than for personal use
● If we suspend your account for any reason, we may refuse to pay rewards for any referrals during the suspension
● We may suspend or alter the amount of referral credits being awarded as part of the referral programme at any time without notice
● We may suspend or alter how the credits can be used as part of the referral programme at any time without notice
● We may cancel the referral programme at any time without notice
If you create any tax liabilities as a result of your usage of the referral programme then you are liable for any and all tax liabilities, Caura bears no responsibility for any liability you create.
Caura Maintain is a service that will allow existing Caura users to book an MOT, service or vehicle repair through the app or a link sent by Caura to a Caura user. Logos of third parties are trademarks of their respective owners and are not affiliated with Caura in any way.

● Users will be able to select their availability and Caura will request these dates with the user's chosen garage.
● Caura cannot guarantee that there will be availability for a garage on the selected dates. If there is no availability on the dates at the garage requested, Caura will request an appointment for different dates and/or a different garage, but cannot guarantee an appointment.
● The garage may offer alternative dates to the one requested by the user. Caura will offer these dates to the user, which they can accept or reject.
● For any customer support queries relating to the booking, the user can contact Caura support through the in-app chat function or a dedicated support phone line
● Garages may cancel or reschedule bookings, which Caura is not responsible for, but will try to pass the information to users.
● Caura is not responsible for any cancellations by the Garage. Caura will fully refund advance payments if the booking is cancelled. This may take up to 14 working days.
● If the user does not show up to a confirmed appointment, Caura will charge the user a £25 no show fee. Any additional payment will be refunded.
● If the user cancels within 24 hours of the booking, Caura will charge the user a £25 cancellation fee. Any additional payment will be refunded.

● For vehicle services, the work carried out by the garage may be different to the job requested by the user. The line items on the services in app are indicative only and the garage will carry out work based on the vehicles service schedule or their own service guidelines.
● Caura will attempt to honour what is requested in the original booking, but it cannot guarantee the garage will carry out the same line items as requested. Caura will offer these line items as a separate piece of work and will need to invoice you separately for the difference in price.
● This may require additional payment from the user in order for the garage to proceed, which Caura will request from the user.
● If the garage carries out less work than requested, Caura may refund where appropriate but this is solely at Caura’s discretion and not guaranteed.
● For vehicle repairs, the garage may not carry out the repair requested by the user. It will carry out work they deem appropriate for the vehicle, which may be different to that requested by the user. Work should not be carried out without prior authorisation and payment from the user, although it is solely the responsibility of the garage to request this authorisation prior to commencing works to the vehicle.
● Caura is not responsible for any delays relating to the sourcing of parts, or how long it may take for the garage to repair your vehicle.
● The garages which provide MOT, servicing and repairs are bound by the Terms & Conditions of the third party provider. The user also agrees to these Terms & Conditions.

Caura is offering a free £500 excess protection insurance policy (the “Excess Protection Offer”) to any eligible customer who purchases a verified car insurance policy through Caura. Eligibility requirements, Excess Protection Offer terms are outlined below. Please contact support@caura.com if you have any further questions.
These terms and conditions govern the Excess Protection Offer provided by Caura to customers that purchase an annual car insurance policy through Caura.
The excess protection insurance policy is administered and managed by Legal Protection Group Limited, registered in England and Wales, company number 10096688.
Legal Protection Group Limited (firm reference number 749446) is an appointed representative of Riviera Insurance Services Limited (firm reference number 786116). Riviera Insurance Services is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
The insurance is underwritten by Alwyn Insurance Company Limited, P.O. Box 1338, First Floor Grand Ocean Plaza, Ocean Village, Gibraltar. Registered in Gibraltar, number 106261.
Authorised and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission.
The excess protection insurance policy is subject to the terms and conditions of Legal Protection Group Limited, Riviera Insurance Services Limited and Alwyn Insurance Company Limited. Customers must read and agree to them in order to exercise the offer.
By opting in to receive the Excess Protection Offer you will be deemed to have accepted and agreed to be bound by these terms and conditions.
Caura reserves the right to amend, withdraw, cancel or suspend the Excess Protection Offer at any time.
The Excess Protection Offer is only applicable to customers who have purchased an annual car insurance policy through Caura on or after 29th March 2024 (the “Offer Commencement Date”), and the policy has subsequently been verified by Caura (a “Verified Policy”).
A car insurance policy purchased through Caura becomes a Verified Policy if and only if you have uploaded your insurance documents to Caura (either in-app or to insurance@caura.com) and you have received confirmation in writing that we accept this proof of purchase.
You must also activate your excess protection insurance policy - details of how to do this are shown in-app and in the section below.
If your Verified Policy is cancelled for any reason then Caura will cancel your free excess protection policy. It is your responsibility to notify Caura of the cancellation of your Verified Policy and your ability to claim against your excess protection policy may be impacted if you do not notify Caura of the cancellation of your Verified Policy.
The Excess Protection Offer is only available to customers who are:
● Permanent residents of the United Kingdom,
● are aged 17 years or over at the time of purchasing the policy,
● the policyholder or joint policyholder under your primary insurance policy as well as the policyholder or joint policyholder under this policy, and
● have activated their excess protection policy (as set out below).
The vehicle must be registered by the DVLA and have no more than 7 seats, including the drivers seat.
The Excess Protection Offer will only be available to the first 10,000 eligible customers who purchase a Verified Policy on or after the Offer Commencement Date.
By participating in the Excess Protection Offer, you agree to be bound by these terms and the terms of Legal Protection Group Limited, Riviera Insurance Services Limited and Alwyn Insurance Company Limited.
Once you have purchased a car insurance policy through Caura, you must activate your £500 excess protection insurance policy. To do this you must forward your insurance policy documents to us within 30 days of your car insurance policy start date. This can be done either by uploading them in-app, or emailing them to insurance@caura.com. Once we have received these documents and approved them you will be deemed to have purchased a Verified Policy.
If you fail to provide your policy documents within this timeframe, the Excess Protection Offer will lapse and you will no longer be eligible to activate the policy, or able to access any of its benefits.
If we cannot verify your purchase of a car insurance policy through Caura, you will not be eligible for the Excess Protection Offer. Verification is based on the accurate and timely submission of your car insurance policy documents and any additional information we may request for the purpose of verification from time to time.
In the event of a claim under your Verified Policy where an excess payment is required (the “Insured Incident”), you must first pay your Verified Policy excess to the insurer and then claim against your excess protection insurance policy.
Following an Insured Incident, the insurer will reimburse your excess up to the maximum policy limit identified in your policy schedule. You will be required to prove that the claim on your Verified Policy has been successful, and that you have paid the excess on the Insured Incident.
The excess protection insurance policy will only pay out if your claim amount on the Insured Incident is greater than the total excess payable under your Verified Policy.
For example, if your Policy compulsory excess is £200 and your voluntary excess is £100, your total excess is £300. You can only make a claim against your excess protection policy if the total claim amount on your Insured Incident exceeds £300. If your claim is less than £300 then you cannot claim against this excess protection policy. You must first pay your excess to the insurer of your Verified Policy, and then claim this back.
You can claim against this excess protection policy as many times as you want in a given year, but the policy will only pay out to a maximum of £500 against your paid excess in a given year. You are only covered for the duration of your Verified Policy. You are not covered for windscreen and glass replacement.
To claim under the excess protection, you must contact Legal Protection Group Limited directly, following their claims process. Proof of excess payment and any other documentation required by Legal Protection Group Limited must be provided to them.
You must read the full terms and conditions for a full list of what you are and are not covered for.
Any complaints about the way this free excess protection insurance was sold should be directed to insurance@caura.com by email, and will be dealt with in line with our complaints policy outlined above
