happens while the Driver is participating in a Defensive Driving Course.
Emergency repairs
If a claim is paid under the Policy for Accidental loss or damage to the
Vehicle, the insurer will also reimburse up to $800 in emergency repairs to
the Vehicle which arose a result of the same Accident, and were necessary to
enable the Vehicle to be driven safely following the Accident.
The emergency repairs required to be made to the Vehicle can be conducted
without the insurer’s prior agreement. The insurer will require You to provide
the insurer with the receipts and/or invoices for all emergency repairs made
to the Vehicle.
Emergency trip continuation
If the Vehicle cannot be safely driven following Accidental damage or theft
more than 100 kilometres from Your place of residence, the insurer will
reimburse the cost of essential:
- transportation for the Driver and their passengers to their intended destination or Your place of residence; and
- transportation to collect the Vehicle when it has been repaired; or
- temporary accommodation (room rental only) for the Driver and their passengers, up to $200 per day in total.
The insurer will pay a maximum of $1,000 per claim for emergency trip
continuation costs.
This benefit is only payable if the insurer agrees to pay a claim under the
Policy for Accidental loss or damage to the Vehicle, and the insurer will only
cover emergency accommodation that is arranged after the Vehicle has been
stolen and/or damaged in an Accident.
Emergency trip continuation costs can be incurred without the insurer’s prior
approval, but the insurer will need You to provide the insurer with receipts
and/or invoices relating to these costs.
Glass cover
If the Vehicle’s windscreen, sunroof glass, window glass or moonroof glass is
Accidentally damaged, the insurer will repair or replace the windscreen,
window glass or sunroof or moonroof glass with parts which meet applicable
Australian Design Rules. The insurer will repair the damaged glass if it
determines that it is safe, economical, and practical to do so. Any decision
to replace (rather than repair) damaged glass will be at the insurer’s
discretion. If glass breakage is the only damage sustained to the Vehicle as
the result of an Accident, no Excess will be payable for the associated claim.
Keys, locks and barrels
If any of the keys or devices giving access to the Vehicle are stolen, or You
believe on reasonable grounds they have been illegally copied, the insurer
will pay up to $1,000 per claim (over and above any basic Excess that applies
to the insurance cover) for the replacement of the Vehicle’s keys or devices
and/or recoding of the Vehicle’s locks and barrels. You must pay any basic
Excess that applies.
The insurer will only provide cover under this benefit for stolen keys/devices
if the theft of the keys/ devices has been reported to the police, and police
investigations conclude they are unlikely to be found.
Legal costs
The insurer will pay for all legal costs and expenses which may be reasonably
incurred for any claim or action the insurer has defended in the name of You
or any Driver in relation to the Policy, provided the insurer has given its
prior approval for these costs.
Personal items
If a claim is paid under the Policy for Accidental loss or damage to the
Vehicle, and that Accident results in personal items which were inside the
Vehicle being stolen or damaged, the insurer will pay You or the Driver the
market value for those personal items, up to $1,000 per claim.
This benefit does not cover mobile phones, money, credit cards, cheques or
jewellery.
You or the Driver must provide the insurer with any documents it reasonably
requires to support a claim for personal items, such as receipts, evidence of
damage or a police report relating to the stolen items.
Re-delivery costs
The insurer will cover what it considers to be the reasonable cost of
transporting the Vehicle to the Vehicle’s collection location once it has been
repaired, or transporting the Vehicle to a repairer of the insurer’s choosing
prior to its repair.
Rental car
If the Vehicle is:
- stolen, and the theft is reported to the police and covered by the Policy; or
- Accidentally damaged, and the Accidental damage is covered by the Policy,
the insurer will provide rental car cover for up to 30 days while the Vehicle
is unable to be driven as a result of the Accident. The insurer will arrange
and pay for the cost of a rental car from one of its preferred suppliers. If a
rental car is unavailable with one of its preferred suppliers, it will
authorise You to arrange a rental car for up to 30 consecutive days and it
will reimburse You for the cost of the rental car up to a maximum of $100 per
day (inclusive of insurance).
The insurer will provide this rental car benefit until the earlier of:
- the date the maximum period of 30 days ends; or
- the date the Vehicle has been found undamaged following theft; or
- the date the Vehicle has been repaired and is able to be driven; or
- the date the claim has been settled.
Please refer to ‘Making a Claim – Rental Cars’ for the insurer’s standard conditions on rental cars (including insurance cover for the rental car) which apply to all rental car benefits in the Policy.
Replacement with new vehicle after a Total Loss
When the insurer declares the Vehicle a Total Loss because of Accidental
damage or theft, it will replace it with a new vehicle of the same make, model
and series (including all on-road costs associated with the new replacement
vehicle), provided:
- such a vehicle is available in Australia;
- the Vehicle is within the first three years of its original registration at the time of the Accident;
- the Full-Service Lease associated with the Vehicle is not terminated; and
- the Vehicle was insured with the insurer under the
Toyota Full-Service Lease Comprehensive Motor Vehicle Insurance Policy within the first year of its original registration, and continuously thereafter.
If a new replacement vehicle is available under this benefit following a Total
Loss, the decision to either accept the replacement vehicle or otherwise have
the insurer pay the Agreed or Market Value, will be at Your discretion. The
insurer will also require Our written consent before replacing the Vehicle.
Any on-road costs the insurer pays in connection with the new vehicle will be
less any refund received from the registration and Compulsory Third-Party
insurance for the Vehicle. The insurer will require You to provide the insurer
with written evidence of the refund amount.
Tools of Trade
If a claim is paid under the Policy for Accidental loss or damage to the
Vehicle, and that Accident results in Tools of Trade being:
- stolen from inside the locked Vehicle or from inside a locked toolbox which is permanently fixed to the vehicle; or
- stolen with the Vehicle and not recovered; or
- damaged as a result of an Accident involving the Vehicle,
the insurer will pay You or Driver the market value for those Tools of Trade,
up to a maximum of $3,000 in total.
You or the Driver must provide the insurer with any documents it reasonably
requires to support a claim for Tools of Trade, such as receipts, evidence of
damage or a police report relating to the stolen items.
Total Loss of Vehicle under finance
If the insurer determines the Vehicle is a Total Loss and:
-
the insurer pays the Agreed or Market Value; and
-
the Full-Service Lease Payout amount is greater than the Agreed or Market Value of the Vehicle, the insurer will pay Us or You the Agreed or Market Value of the Vehicle, plus an additional finance gap amount up to a maximum of 25% of the Agreed or
Market Value of the Vehicle, subject to any applicable Excess(es). The finance gap will be calculated as the difference between: -
the Full-Service Lease Payout amount; and
-
the Agreed or Market Value of the Vehicle.
In calculating this difference any arrears or deferred payments, or amounts
that have become due or payable and have not been paid, or associated penalty
costs under the Full-Service Lease (where applicable) are excluded.
The insurer will not provide any cover under this benefit if it has replaced
the Vehicle or made a payment under the ‘Replacement with new vehicle after a
Total Loss’ benefit in relation to the same Accident.
Towing and storage
If the Vehicle cannot be driven safely following Accidental loss or damage for
which the insurer pays a claim under the Policy, it will also pay the
reasonable cost for the protection, removal and towing of the Vehicle to the
nearest repairer or place of safety authorised by it.
Trailer, boat and caravan cover
If Your registered trailer, boat or caravan is lost, stolen or damaged as the
result of an Accident which occurs while it is attached to the Vehicle
(including if it becomes detached as a result of the Accident), the insurer
will pay You the lesser of:
- $1,500;
- the market value of Your trailer, boat or caravan, up to a maximum of $1,500; or
- the fair and reasonable cost to repair Your trailer, boat or caravan (which the insurer will calculate by reference to factors such as age, make, model and condition of the trailer, boat or caravan).
The insurer will not pay for any property being carried in or on the trailer,
boat or caravan, or for any item that is insured elsewhere against loss or
damage.
Travel expenses
If the Vehicle cannot be safely driven following Accidental damage or theft
less than 100 kilometres from Your place of residence, and You or Driver
incurs expenses for:
- travel from the scene of the Accident, and/or
- transportation to and from the repairer the insurer authorises to repair the Vehicle; and/or
- transportation to and from a rental car agency,
the insurer will reimburse up to $500 in total for the incurred expenses.
Receipts for payment of the expenses must be provided in support of any claim.

- try to prevent further loss or damage by doing everything reasonably possible to secure or recover the Vehicle and their property, to minimise any risk of further loss, damage or liability;
- notify the police of the Accident, theft, loss or malicious damage, and keep a record of the incident or report number and other relevant details such as the name and station of the police officer; and

- notify the police of theft, losses or malicious damage;
- send any letter of demand, claim, writ or summons relating to an Accident involving a Vehicle to Adica by emailing it to fleet@adica.com.au; and
- assist the insurer in every way it may reasonably require in connection with any claim or legal action relating to that Accident.
Your responsibilities when You claim on the Policy The insurer will require You to:
- attend to all its reasonable requests to assist it in the management of the claim; and
- provide it with honest, correct and complete information in response to all its requests so that it can properly assess the claim; and
immediately refer any communication from other parties to it so that it can respond on Our or Your or Driver’s behalf.
You must never, without the insurer’s consent:
- arrange or authorise any repairs to the Vehicle, unless the insurer has given its express written consent; or
- admit liability or guilt; or
- make a promise or offer to settle or partly settle the matter or defend the matter; or
- assign Our rights under the Policy to a third party.
What You must pay in the event of a claim
Excess
An Excess is the first amount You may have to pay toward the cost of a claim
before the insurer provide any benefits under the Policy.
Types of Excess
There are two types of Excess, which are listed below. The Excess payable for
any claim will be the total of all applicable Excesses added together,
depending on the circumstances of the claim.
Basic Excess
The basic Excess is the standard Excess which may apply to each claim made
under the Policy.
The amount of the basic Excess is shown on the Certificate of Insurance.
Age Excess
The age Excess applies if the Driver of the Vehicle is under the age of 25 at
the time of an Accident and is payable in addition to other Excesses when the
insurer accepts the claim. The amount of the age Excess is shown on the
Certificate of Insurance.
When is an Excess payable?
You must pay an Excess for each claim made under the Policy, other than in the
circumstances described below where an Excess will not apply.
An Excess will not apply if:
- the insurer determines that the Accident was not the fault of the Driver of the Vehicle, and
- the insurer is provided with the contact details of the person who caused the Accident including their name, current residential address and vehicle registration.
The age Excess will not apply if the claim is for any of the following:
- theft or attempted theft; or
- loss or damage caused by an animal or a Weather event such as flood, hail or storm; or
- fire; or
- malicious damage; or
- damage to the Vehicle whilst it was parked.
You will also not be required to pay any type of Excess if glass breakage is
the only damage sustained to the Vehicle, in accordance with the cover
provided under ‘Additional Benefits – Glass cover’.
When to pay the applicable Excess
- If You do need to pay an Excess, the insurer will advise whether this amount is to be:
- paid by You to the repairer or supplier when the Vehicle is collected after it has been repaired;
- paid by You to the insurer when it requests it; or
- deducted from the amount the insurer pays Us or You.
How the insurer settles claims
If the Vehicle has been damaged When the insurer agrees to pay a claim for Accidental damage to the Vehicle and decide the Vehicle can be repaired, it will choose to either:
- arrange for the repair of the Vehicle; or
- pay Us or You the fair and reasonable cost of repairing the Vehicle.
Repairing the Vehicle and the choice of repairer
Once the insurer accepts a claim and decides the Vehicle can be repaired, it
will arrange the repair work. To provide You with further peace of mind, any
authorised repairs performed will be covered by the insurer’s Lifetime Repair
Guarantee. Refer to the section ‘If the Vehicle has been damaged – Our
Lifetime Repair Guarantee’ below to find out more.
For Your convenience the insurer will choose the repairer, authorise the
repairs and help to coordinate the quote and repair process. It may obtain two
independent competitive quotations from repairers it has chosen (where
available) and select the most complete and competitive quote. If You wish You
can choose a repairer to provide one of the quotes.
If the insurer does not consider a quote from Your chosen repairer to be
competitive and/or complete, or it does not believe that the repairs to the
Vehicle would be completed to a satisfactory standard,it reserves the right to
authorise repairs to be carried out by a repairer nominated by it.
Our Lifetime Repair Guarantee only applies to repairs authorised by the
insurer.
The insurer will need to inspect the Vehicle before repairs commence or when
any further damage is found. If the Vehicle can be driven the insurer will
arrange a time for You to bring the Vehicle to the repairer.
The insurer will only pay for repairs it has authorised.
Lifetime Repair Guarantee
The quality of workmanship and materials on all repairs authorised by the
insurer will be guaranteed for the life of the Vehicle.
When it authorises repairs to the Vehicle and:
- it is a Toyota vehicle; and
- it was within the first five years of its original registration at the time of the Accident,
the insurer will always Use new Genuine Parts sourced through the
manufacturer’s Australian distribution channel in the repair of the Vehicle,
except for the replacement of windscreens, sunroofs, moonroofs and window
glass where Australian Design Rule compliant parts may be used.
In all other cases, the Vehicle will be repaired using Genuine Parts or parts
consistent with the age or condition of the Vehicle, except for the
replacement of windscreens, sunroofs, moonroofs and window glass where
Australian Design Rule compliant parts may be used.
If replacement parts required for the repair of the Vehicle are no longer
available, the insurer will pay what it would have cost to repair the Vehicle
with those parts had they been available.
If there is any concern about the quality of the repairs completed by a
repairer the insurer has authorised, please promptly contact the insurer. It
will arrange for unsatisfactory repairs to be inspected and for the necessary
rectification to be carried out. You must
not authorise rectification work without the insurer’s authority.
Contribution to repairs
Should the repairs being performed leave the Vehicle in a better condition
than it was prior to the incident resulting in a claim, the insurer may ask
You to contribute to the repair costs.
If the Vehicle is a Total Loss
Once the insurer accepts a claim and determines the Vehicle is a Total Loss,
it will either:
- replace the Vehicle as provided for under ‘Additional Benefits – Replacement with new vehicle after a Total Loss’; or
- pay the Agreed or Market Value in accordance with the terms of ‘Section 1: Cover for Accidental loss or damage to the Vehicle’.
The insurer will retain the damaged Vehicle, including any options and
accessories and keep the proceeds of any salvage value. It will also retain
any unexpired portion of the registration and Compulsory Third Party (CTP)
insurance.
If the Vehicle has been stolen
If the Vehicle is found damaged within 14 days from when You reported the
theft to the insurer and it can be repaired, the insurer will arrange the
repair as set out under the section ‘How the insurer settle claims – If the
Vehicle has been damaged’.
If the Vehicle has not been found within 14 days, or is found damaged and
cannot be repaired, the insurer will declare it a Total Loss if it has
accepted Our claim. Refer to the section ‘How the insurer settles claims – If
the Vehicle is a Total Loss’.
Third Party Property damage claims
When the Use of the Vehicle results in damage to someone else’s property the
insurer will, subject to the terms of the Policy, cover Our legal liability
and the legal liability of You or the Driver to pay compensation for any loss
or damage caused.
Refer to the section ‘The protection the insurer provides – Section 2: Cover
for damage to other people’s property’ for more information.
Personal items and Tools of Trade
If the insurer accepts a claim for a stolen or damaged personal item or Tool
of Trade, it will pay You or Driver the market value of that item. The insurer
will determine the market value by considering factors such as age, make,
model and condition of the item at the time of the Accident.
The most the insurer will pay in total for all personal items stolen or
damaged as a result of any one Accident is $1,000, and the most the insurer
will pay in total for all Tools of Trade stolen or damaged as a result of any
one Accident is $3,000.
Claim recovery
If You make a claim on the Policy, the insurer reserves the right to take
action to recover any money paid by it. When it does this, it may need to take
such action in Your name or in the name of any Driver, and therefore, You and
the Driver must co-operate with
the insurer and give the insurer any information and assistance it may require
through to the completion of the claim. The insurer will meet all reasonable

GST and Input Tax Credits
If You are registered for GST, You are required to tell the insurer of
entitlement to any Input Tax Credits (ITC). If You do not tell the insurer of
this entitlement, or if the information given to the insurer is incorrect, it
will not be liable for any resulting fines, penalties or charges You incur.
When the insurer calculates the amount of any payment it makes for a claim, it
may reduce the amount by any ITC that You will be or would have been entitled
to receive.
Rental cars
The insurer’s standard conditions for rental cars The following conditions apply to rental car benefits in the Policy.
-
The rental car must be arranged by the insurer or authorised by it based on the terms of the relevant benefit. The benefit will only be made available after a claim has been lodged with the insurer, and any applicable Excess(es) have been paid to it.
-

If the rental car is damaged or stolen during the hire period a new claim must be lodged under the Policy, and any applicable Excess(es) must be paid to the insurer. -
