Vehicle insurance

A vehicle purchased with leasing must have a valid insurance cover as of delivery of the vehicle to the client until termination of the lease contract, that is, until the fulfilment of all contractual obligations: the person must conclude an optional motor vehicle insurance contract, which is of assistance in case of most common damages of a vehicle irrespective of who the guilty party is or where the accident happened, and a motor third party liability insurance contract, which compensates the damage caused to other person with the traffic accident.

There are specific requirements, established for insurance contracts of leased property:

• The vehicle must be insured throughout the lease term at least within the amount corresponding to its market value.
• The insurance contract must be concluded with a deductible of €300.
• The beneficiary in the insurance contract must be AS SEB Liising.
• The insurance contract must ensure that any damages that may be caused by theft, robbery, fire or water damage, natural disaster, traffic accident and any other possible loss events would be covered with the full indemnity paid out.
• Insurance premium must be paid on time in accordance with the insurance contract.

PZU optional motor vehicle insurance, mediated by SEB, corresponds to the requirements established to insuring the leased property and provides the following benefits:

• optional motor vehicle insurance premium may be added to monthly lease payments;
• after taking out the insurance contract or its renewal, there is no need to submit to SEB documents, certifying the insurance cover;
• we shall contact you before expiry of the insurance contract, to agree on the new insurance conditions.

Additional requirements apply to those insurance contracts of leased property, which are not concluded through PZU:

• The insurance contract must be concluded for a period of one year.
• To certify the existence of an insurance contract, the insurance policy must be submitted the latest within two days as of receipt of the vehicle.
• To prove the validity of insurance, the insurance policy of the new period must be submitted to SEB 5 days before the expiry of the current insurance policy by e-mail: .

Motor third party liability insurance

All vehicles registered with the traffic register of the Road Administration must be covered with motor third party liability insurance (TPL). In case of an insured event covered by a motor third party liability insurance, proprietary and personal damage, caused by the owner of a vehicle in a traffic accident to other persons shall be indemnified. The lessee as a person subject to insurance obligation is responsible for the fulfilment of the TPL insurance obligation. Motor third party liability insurance provides insurance cover in the European Economic Area and other countries who have joined the green card system.

Motor third party liability insurance can be concluded with a term up to 1 year and either as an automatically renewable contract or as an automatically non-renewable contract:

• An automatically renewable motor third party liability insurance contract gives a sense of security that the vehicle is always covered with insurance and you do not have to worry about ending contract period. Under an automatically renewable motor third party liability insurance contract, the vehicle is always covered with insurance and you do not have to do anything at the end of the one-year contract period. Before the end of the validity term, the policyholder is sent a new policy with annual insurance period. We recommend the automatically renewable motor third party liability insurance contract above all for vehicles purchased under a lease.
• An automatically non-renewable contract ends upon expiry of the yearly insurance period and a new motor third party liability insurance contract must be taken out for the insurance cover.

Motor third party liability insurance is regulated by the Traffic Insurance Act. Before requesting the offer, read the insurance service information document of motor third party liability insurance.

I have valid motor third party liability insurance. Why should I need optional motor vehicle insurance?

To fully insure the vehicle, you need both, the motor third party liability (TPL) as well as the optional motor vehicle insurance. TPL insurance is a mandatory insurance, the existence of which, according to law, must be ensured by the responsible user (or the owner, if there is no responsible user) of the vehicle. With TPL insurance you insure your liability towards other road users. This means that whenever you are guilty of causing a traffic accident, only the damage caused to the injured party is indemnified.

However, the damage incurred to your car is not indemnified under the TPL insurance. This damage is indemnified by optional motor vehicle insurance. Optional motor vehicle insurance helps to prevent extensive financial loss in case of an accident, theft, fire, vandalism and technical failure.
