Things you should know about insurance when salary packaging a vehicle include:
- It is a requirement that your vehicle is comprehensively insured throughout the life of your novated lease.
- If comprehensive motor vehicle insurance is purchased for a new car that includes new-for-old cover with unlimited kilometres, and the insurance
policy is held for the life of the lease, there is no need for "GAP" insurance or "Lease Protection" insurance in the event of total write-off.
- Loan Protection insurance is designed to cover lease payments for loss-of-income situations such as death, temporary illness and involuntary redundancy. Time and dollar limits apply. Policy details need to be read in full to understand conditions.
- If an employee has an employment contract with sick leave entitlements and superannuation income protection as part of their employment superannuation, Loan Protection Insurance may not be needed in whole or in part.
