This SGIC Motor Insurance Premium, Excess & Discounts Guide forms part of the SGIC Motor Insurance Product Disclosure Statement and Policy Booklet (PDS) Edition 1, dated 3 March 2009.
It applies to policies issued with a vehicle kept in South Australia with a commencement or renewal date on or after 3 June 2010.
We offer the following discounts that you may be entitled to:
- No Claim Discount
- Multi-Policy Discount
- Years of Insurance Discount
- Choice of Excess Discount
The way in which the discounts are applied to your premium is set out in the How we work out your premium section of this guide.
No Claim Discount
This discount applies to Comprehensive Motor Insurance.
We reward your good driving history with a No Claim Discount which ranges from 0% to 65% for Life so you can save on your Comprehensive Motor Insurance premium. We calculate your Policy's No Claim Discount level based on:
- number of years driving experience of you and any listed driver, and
- claims and incident experience of you and any listed driver.
| The No Claim Discount levels are: |
|---|
| Maximum No Claim Discount for Life 65% |
| 65% |
| 55% |
| 45% |
| 35% |
| 25% |
| 0% |
How does No Claim Discount work?
Each year at renewal, the policy automatically moves up to the next level of No Claim Discount if you, or any driver or passenger does not make an at-fault claim in that policy year.
If you do make a claim for an incident where you, or any driver or passenger of your vehicle, is at fault, your Policy will move down one level of No Claim Discount unless:
- you are entitled to our Maximum No Claim Discount for Life; or
- you have chosen to protect your No Claim Discount by paying an additional premium.
If you make a claim for something that is not your fault, for example your motor vehicle or motorcycle is stolen, damaged by storm or someone scratches the paintwork, your Policy's No Claim Discount will not change. However, these claims will be taken into account as a pricing factor when calculating your premium.
The way in which your Policy's No Claim Discount is applied to your premium is set out in the How we work out your premium section of this guide.
What is No Claim Discount protection?
You can pay additional premium to protect your No Claim Discount if you, or any driver or passenger of your vehicle, are at fault or cannot identify the other party at fault in an incident.
If you have chosen to protect your Policy's No Claim Discount, your No Claim Discount will not be affected for any at fault claims made within a policy year. However, these incidents or claims will be taken into account as a pricing factor when calculating your premium (see the How we work out your premium section of this guide for more information).
What is Maximum No Claim Discount for Life?
If you hold our Maximum No Claim Discount for one year with us and you don't make an at fault claim, you qualify for Maximum No Claim Discount for Life.
You retain Maximum No Claim Discount for Life for your life, even if you have multiple claims within a policy year. You may also be entitled to Maximum No Claim Discount for Life on other Comprehensive Motor Insurance Policies.
However
- if you are jointly insured on a policy, all insureds must also qualify for Maximum No Claim Discount for Life to receive it on that policy.
- if we cease to offer a No Claim Discount as part of our premium structure, our Maximum No Claim Discount for Life will also change.
- most incidents or claims will still impact the calculation of your premium and your premium could increase.
