Only those who suffer damage during the demonstrations will benefit, including cargo vehicles. Here’s what you should know about the nation’s auto policy.
Those who suffer damage to their public service vehicles – including cargo vehicles – as part of the demonstrations will no longer have to pay 10% of the deductible to make use of the nation’s auto insurance policy: it will cover 100% of damages and losses.
The foregoing is due to the fact that the Government extended the activation of the special conditions established in said insurance. This was reported by the Ministry of Transport.
“Since last April 28, we have requested the Ministry of Finance to extend the activation of the special conditions in the nation’s automobile policy. In this way, 100% of the impacts on public service vehicles would be covered, only if they occur within the framework of events derived from the current situation in the country, ”said the Vice Minister of Transportation, Carmen Ligia Valderrama.
