Travelling abroad
If you take your motorbike abroad
A Green Card is an International Certificate of Motor Insurance required as proof of motor insurance cover by countries outside of the policy Territorial Limits, as defined on Page 3. All countries within the Territorial Limits, at present, with the exception of Andorra, have agreed that a Green Card is not necessary for cross border travel. Your certificate of motor insurance should, therefore, provide sufficient evidence that you are complying with the laws on the compulsory insurance of motor vehicles in any of these countries that you visit. If, however, you contact Devitt at least two weeks before departure, we will be able to provide you with a specific European Accident Statement form, which you are advised to carry with you whilst riding abroad. Your certificate of motor insurance carries statements on the reverse of the document in the main European languages for presentation to the police or other officials confirming that you have necessary insurance to ride in their countries. There is no cover for countries outside the Territorial Limits. Your insurer may, however, be prepared to cover countries outside the Territorial Limits on request, in which case Devitt will provide you with a Green Card and an additional premium will be required.

Instalment Payments by Direct Debit
There is an additional service charge payable if you choose to pay your premium by instalments. For a new policy, premiums may be paid in 8 equal monthly instalments, subject to payment of a deposit of 30%. A service charge of 11.00% (APR 32.6%) typical APR 32.6% will be made when paying by instalments. Deposits can be accepted by Credit or Debit card only. Full details of the Consumer Credit Agreement will be provided on this website if you wish to accept cover and pay your premium by Direct Debit instalments. For renewal premiums, when instalment payments are already being made, we will notify you of your renewal premium in advance of the renewal date and we will automatically continue to collect your instalments, unless you advise us otherwise . No deposit will be required to renew a policy under which an existing instalment plan operates and the total premium will be payable over 11 months. The first debit will be collected on the renewal date or the nearest working day thereafter. A service charge of 11.00% (APR 23.6%) typical APR 23.6% will be made when paying by instalments.

Section 5 - No Claim Discount
If a claim is not made under your policy, your renewal premium will be reduced in accordance with the scale applicable at such time with your insurer. (Devitt can tell you what the current scale is). The No Claim Discount is applied to the policy premium as a whole (excluding any flat rate premiums) and in the event of a claim, the discount will be reduced in accordance with the scale applicable with your insurer at such time, regardless of the number of motor bikes insured under the policy and which motorbike was involved. The reduction in discount will not apply if you have paid to protect your No Claim Discount, subject to the terms and conditions of that Protection provided by your Insurer. No Claim Discount is not earned under a policy issued and in force for less than 12 months. If your insurer consents to a transfer of this policy to another person, the No Claim Discount already earned under this policy will not apply to the person to whom the policy is being transferred.

The NCD protection details vary dependant on which panel insurer is used.
