We will also cover the legal liability of: any driver, provided that person was not covered by another insurance contract at the time of the accident; passengers who are in, or getting into or out of your vehicle, with your permission; and We will not cover legal liability: when the loss or damage occurs to your own property or to property which is in your possession, custody or control, or is owned by the person driving or in custody of your vehicle or any person ordinarily living with you; if your vehicle was being used without your permission at the time of the accident; which is insurable under a statutory or compulsory insurance or compensation scheme or another policy covering such liability; or for any liability you agree to accept without our express written consent, and where such liability would not have existed without your agreement. The maximum amount we will pay for legal liability arising out of any one motor vehicle accident is $20 million. For exclusions that impact on cover, please refer to When we will not pay your claim on page 12. These exclusions are in addition to any limitations described under Comprehensive cover. Other things we will pay for if you choose Comprehensive cover Glass cover Where your vehicle s windscreen, sunroof glass or window glass is accidentally damaged, we will pay for the repair or replacement of the windscreen, sunroof glass or window glass, or pay you the cost of the repair or replacement. You will be required to pay the basic excess for all claims under this benefit, unless you have chosen the optional excess-free glass cover benefit. Refer to the Optional excess-free glass cover section on page 10 for details. Cover for this benefit does not entitle you to a claim for a rental vehicle or any other additional benefit. Keys, locks and barrels If any of the keys or devices giving access to your vehicle are stolen, or you believe on reasonable grounds they have been illegally copied, we will pay up to $1,000 per claim (excluding the basic excess) for the replacement of your vehicle s keys or devices and/or recoding of your vehicle s locks and barrels. You must pay the basic excess on your policy. your employer, principal or partner, arising out of your use of the vehicle. 6

8 We will provide this cover if: the theft of the keys/devices has been reported to the police and police investigations conclude they are unlikely to be found; the locks and barrels to your vehicle are not damaged; the keys/devices were not stolen by a relative, spouse or de facto, invitee, any person ordinarily residing with you or with whom you ordinarily reside, or any other person insured under this policy; and you are not covered under any other insurance policy. Cover for this benefit does not entitle you to a claim for a rental vehicle or any other additional benefit. We will not provide this cover if the keys or devices that give access to your vehicle are: lost or misplaced; left unattended in a public place; or left in an unlocked vehicle. Additional Benefits If we agree to pay your claim for accidental loss or damage to your vehicle, we will also pay for the following Additional Benefits where applicable: Replacement with new vehicle after a total loss Provided you purchased your vehicle within three months of its first registration as new and your vehicle has been insured continuously by this policy since you purchased the vehicle, and we accept your claim and determine your vehicle is a total loss, you can choose to receive a replacement vehicle on the following terms: 1) Toyota vehicles if your Toyota vehicle becomes a total loss, is less than three years old, has travelled less than 100,000 kilometres since first registration and is still covered by the original Toyota new vehicle warranty at the time of the incident, we will replace the vehicle with a new Toyota of the same make, model and series, provided such vehicle is available in Australia. 2) Lexus vehicles if your Lexus vehicle becomes a total loss, is less than four years old, has travelled less than 100,000 kilometres since first registration and is still covered by the original Lexus new vehicle warranty at the time of the incident, we will replace the vehicle with a new Lexus of the same make, model and series provided such vehicle is available in Australia. 3) Non-Toyota and non-lexus vehicles if your vehicle is not a Toyota or Lexus and becomes a total loss, is less than one year old and has travelled less than 20,000 kilometres since first registration, we will replace the vehicle with a new vehicle of the same make, model and series, provided such a vehicle is available in Australia. We do however reserve the right to decide whether your vehicle is repairable or a total loss based on the total costs associated with replacing your vehicle. Our decision in regard to whether a vehicle is able to be repaired economically will depend upon a number of factors, including: the cost to repair the vehicle; the amount we will need to pay to settle a claim (taking into account the vehicle s salvage value); and your request for a replacement vehicle (if one applies). 7

9 If we replace your vehicle we will also pay for the on-road costs in connection with the new vehicle, including the cost of the first year s registration and Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance if applicable on the new vehicle, less any refund you receive from the registration and CTP insurance for your vehicle, if applicable. You will need to provide us with written proof. If a replacement vehicle is unavailable, we will pay you either the agreed value or market value depending on the cover you have chosen, as shown on your policy schedule. If your vehicle is subject to a finance agreement, we will also require the financier s written consent before replacing your vehicle. For an example of how we calculate a claim for a new replacement vehicle see example 1(a) under Claim payment examples on pages Legal costs If we agree in writing, we will pay for all legal costs and expenses which may be incurred for any claim or action we have defended in your name in relation to this policy.

Theft claims If your vehicle is stolen, and the theft has been reported to the Police, subject to our prior approval, we will arrange for or reimburse you for the cost of a rental car, up to a maximum value of $60 per day.

Making a claim What to do in the event of a claim Please ensure that you take all reasonable steps to secure or recover your property, and to minimise any risk of further loss, damage or liability. If your vehicle is involved in an accident, obtain the full names, current residential addresses and phone numbers of all drivers, passengers and witnesses involved. You will also need the vehicle registration and insurance details of all drivers involved. Contact Toyota Insurance as soon as possible on When you contact us, a claims officer will be appointed to assist you through the claims process. Attend to all our reasonable requests of you to assist us in the management of your claim. Provide us with honest, correct and complete information in response to all our requests so that we can properly assess your claim. Immediately refer any communication from other parties to us so that we can respond on your behalf. Contact the police If your vehicle is stolen or maliciously damaged, you must immediately report the matter to the police and complete a police report. We will need a copy of this report to process your claim. You may also need to report certain accidents to the police, depending on the laws of the state or territory in which the accident happened. An example of this would include any accident where people are injured, or where the vehicle is unable to be driven safely. 13

15 What you must not do Do not admit liability or guilt or make a promise or offer to settle or partly settle the matter or defend the matter. Do not have your vehicle repaired, or authorise repairs, unless we have given our express written consent (except for emergency repairs as otherwise authorised in this policy). Do not assign your rights under this policy to a third party. What you must pay in the event of a claim Unpaid premiums If your vehicle is determined by us to be a total loss following a claim, and your premium is paid by instalments or you have not paid the full premium due for the period of cover in which the claim occurred, you will be required to pay the balance of any remaining premium owing for the period of cover. Excess An excess is an amount you may have to pay toward the cost of a claim on this policy. The amount and types of excesses applicable to your policy are shown on your policy schedule. There are six types of excess, which are listed on this page. The excess payable for any claim will be the total of all applicable excesses added together, depending on the circumstances of the claim. You may have to pay the excess before we agree to provide any benefits under the policy. Once we have approved your claim we will determine any excess payment you need to make, or deduct your excess from our payment. We will advise you whether any applicable excess amount is to be paid to the repairer, supplier or to us. Basic excess The basic excess is the standard excess which applies to each claim you make on your policy and varies depending on the state or territory in which you normally reside at the time of a claim. Age excess The age excess applies if the driver is under 25 years old at the time of an accident. You do not have to pay an age excess if claiming for loss or damage caused by theft or attempted theft, damage whilst parked, fire, flood, hail, storm or malicious damage. Licence excess The licence excess applies for claims made where at the time of an accident the driver does not hold a full Australian drivers licence or is the holder of an overseas, probationary or provisional licence or learner s permit. You do not have to pay a licence excess if claiming for loss or damage caused by theft or attempted theft, damage whilst parked, fire, flood, hail, storm or malicious damage. Special excess The special excess is an excess imposed by us, and is payable in addition to the basic excess. It is usually imposed where you have modified the vehicle, or added non-standard accessories to the vehicle which may increase the cost of repairs following a claim, or because of the driving or insurance history of you or any regular driver/s listed on your policy schedule. Voluntary excess The voluntary excess is an optional excess that you may choose to reduce the amount of premium you pay to us. This excess is payable in addition to the basic excess in the event of a claim. Undisclosed driver excess The undisclosed driver excess applies for claims made where at the time of an accident the driver of your vehicle was under 25 years of age and was not nominated as a driver on the most recent policy schedule or renewal notice. You do not have to pay the undisclosed driver excess if claiming for loss or damage caused by theft, or attempted theft, damage whilst parked, fire, flood, hail, storm or malicious damage. How we calculate your excess The amount and types of excesses that apply to your policy are shown on your policy schedule. For further details on excesses, including amounts applicable by state, please refer to our Motor Insurance Premium, Excess and Claims Guide. See page 3 for how to access the Guide. When an excess is not payable by you No fault, no excess You will not be required to pay an excess for any claims under this policy if: we determine that the loss or damage was solely the fault of another person and you did not contribute to the accident; and you provide us with the full names, current residential addresses and phone numbers of all drivers, passengers and witnesses involved, as well as the vehicle registration and insurance details of all drivers involved. 14

16 In the case of theft or vandalism, you need to give us a police report that shows the name and address of the offender who has been charged or convicted. Glass cover claims Provided you have selected the optional glass cover benefit, you will not be required to pay any basic excess for the first claim for this damage occurring under this policy during the period of cover. How we pay your claim If you have Comprehensive cover If we agree to pay your claim under this policy we will decide whether to: arrange for the repair of your vehicle; pay you the repair cost instead of repairing your vehicle; or pay you the agreed value or market value, depending upon the cover option you have chosen, as shown on your policy schedule. If you have Third Party Fire and Theft cover If we agree to pay your claim under this policy we will decide whether to: arrange for the repair of damage to your vehicle, resulting from fire or theft; pay you the cost of repairing your vehicle; or Credit provider s rights Where a credit provider has a financial interest by way of security or ownership over your vehicle in relation to your finance contract, we will settle any amount which remains payable under your claim directly to them, provided the financier agrees to remove any encumbrance and provides the salvage to us. For examples of how we pay a claim if your vehicle is a total loss see examples 1(a), 1(b) and 2(a), under Claim payment examples on pages Claim recovery If you make a claim on this policy for an event that in our opinion was not your fault, we reserve the right to take action to recover any money paid by us. When we do this, we may need to take such action in your name, and therefore you must cooperate with us and give us any information and assistance we may require through to the completion of your claim. We will pay for any legal expenses. GST and Input Tax Credits If you are registered for GST, you are required to tell us your entitlement to any Input Tax Credits (ITC) on the premium you pay to us. If you do not tell us your entitlement or if the information you give us is incorrect, we will not be liable for any resulting fines, penalties or charges you incur. pay you the market value of your vehicle. Total loss claims If we accept your claim and decide your vehicle is a total loss, we will settle your claim by either replacing your vehicle or by paying you the agreed value or market value. This will depend upon the option you have chosen, as shown on your policy schedule. If you have selected the agreed value option and we do not replace your vehicle following a total loss, we will pay you the agreed value. If you have selected the market value option and we do not replace your vehicle, we will pay you the market value. In the event of a total loss, your vehicle wreckage, including any options, accessories and unexpired registration will become our property, and we will retain the proceeds of any sale. Once we settle your claim, the cover provided under this policy ceases and any premium for the unexpired period of cover will not be refunded to you. Any excess or unpaid premium will be deducted from the amount we pay. If your premium is paid by instalments and we decide your vehicle is a total loss, you will be required to pay the balance of any remaining instalments owing for that period of cover in which the claim occurred. We can deduct this amount from your claim. 15 When we calculate the amount of any payment we make for a claim, we may reduce the amount by any ITC that you are, will be or would have been entitled to receive. For example: Where you are entitled to an ITC on your premium and have a total loss accident, we agree to pay you the market value of your vehicle calculated at $21,920. We will reduce this amount by the ITC, which is equal to 1/11th of $21,920 (or $1,993). Your payment is then equal to $21,920 - $1,993 or $19,927. Repairing your vehicle Choosing a repairer If we accept your claim and decide your vehicle can be repaired, we will suggest one of our Toyota Insurance Preferred Repairers, or alternatively another repairer nominated by us. You can nominate your own repairer, however we may ask you to obtain another quotation from one of our Toyota Insurance Preferred Repairers or a repairer nominated by us. We will work with the agreed repairer to achieve the best repair outcome for you.
