Trailer
Tow covers the cost of move a broken or damaged vehicle to a designated workshop or destination point.
This coverage is particularly useful in cases of failure, accident or even when the vehicle is immobilized due to lack of fuel or puncture, according to the terms of the Policy hired.
Although every insurance may offer different conditions, tow cover usually includes:
1. Trailer to the nearest or preferred workshop
In most cases, the tow cover covers the transport of the vehicle to the nearest workshop or to a workshop of preference to the insured, provided it is within a certain distance.
2. Road assistance
If the vehicle suffers a failure or incident that does not require trailer (such as a tap or battery failure), many policies include road assistance to repair the problem at the site and avoid the need for tug.
3. Trailer abroad
Some policies provide cover for towing in case of a failure abroad, although it is recommended to review the specific limits and conditions for such cases, such as distance radius or permitted workshops.
4. Driver and passenger transfer
In addition to the towing of the vehicle, many insurers include the transfer of the driver and passengers to their destination or a safe place, if the vehicle is immobilized.
Limits
Tow cover is usually subject to certain specific limitations and conditions which should be reviewed:
1. Distance limit
Some policies cover towing up to a specific number of kilometres. If the destination is outside that radius, the insured person may have to pay the difference.
2. Destination restrictions
Some insurers allow the trailer only to the nearest workshop, while others can offer the option of choosing a specific workshop, such as the usual one from the insured.
3. Additional costs of extended towing
If the insured person requests the transfer of the vehicle at a greater distance than that included in the policy, he or she may have to pay an additional cost for the excess mileage.
