Southgate’s Novated Lease vehicles can be covered by an optional comprehensive insurance policy that is designed specifically for the
purpose of insuring vehicles under a lease arrangement. The policy is provided by Vero Insurance and allows you to salary package the
insurance via fixed monthly premium payments that are subject to an annual review. Any adjustment to your insurance premium upon such review will result
in an adjustment to your novated lease package.
|
Insured Value
|
Market Value plus any shortfall between the market value and your lease payout amount in the event of the vehicle being written off.
|
|
New Car Replacement
In First 2 Years
|
If your new vehicle is written off within 2 years from its first registered date you may choose to accept a new replacement vehicle of the same make, model and series (conditions apply).
|
|
Gap Cover Included
|
This policy includes a “gap” component which covers any shortfall (or gap) between the vehicle’s market value and the outstanding balance
owing on your Novated Lease finance contract (excluding any lease arrears) if the vehicle is written off during the lease term. This feature prevents you from having to pay any out-of-pocket cost
in respect of early payout penalties on the lease contract in the event that the vehicle is written off.
|
|
Monthly Premium
|
The premium is paid monthly to assist in the smooth running of your salary package. It is paid directly from your salary package
account for convenience. The premium is subject to an annual review or upon change of garaging address.
Because it is paid directly, there is no need to claim a reimbursement. All complying Tax Invoices are issued and retained by Southgate.
