Heartlander Turbocharged March 10, 2021 Share March 10, 2021 Would like to check if fellow car owners ever encounter any other motor insurance company putting such clause(s) in their policy: I / We understand that if my / our vehicle is a parallel imported model, in the event of an accidental windscreen damage or damage to the vehicle / accessories and if the parts are not obtainable from our local workshops, the Insured shall be responsible for all costs including air freight and storage charges due to the delay in repair to his / her vehicle. Just saw the small print in the policy when need to declare if the ride is from authorised dealer or PI, then it lead to small prints as worded above. Any one with experience to share? What is the worse that can happen for policy owner? Common among various motor insurance companies? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrosszero Turbocharged March 10, 2021 Share March 10, 2021 Nowadays with added safety features like lane departure/lane keep sensors being attached to the windscreen it is no longer as simple as it used to be. With niche PI models the supply stream is even worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
