2. Eligible Events

• Comprehensive Coverage:
  • Applies to damage caused by events other than collision, including but not limited to theft, vandalism, fire, weather events (e.g., floods, hail), and impact with animals.
• Collision Coverage:
  • Covers damage resulting from collisions with other vehicles or objects, irrespective of fault.

3. Exclusions

• General Wear and Tear:
  • The policy does not cover routine maintenance, wear and tear, or mechanical breakdown unless directly caused by a covered event.

  • Vehicles used for commercial purposes, racing, or other non-personal use may not be covered under this policy unless explicitly stated.

4. Filing a Claim

• Claim Submission:
  • Claims must be reported as soon as reasonably possible following the event of loss. Delay in reporting may result in reduced or denied coverage.
• Required Documentation:
  • You must provide all necessary documentation, including proof of loss, police reports, and other relevant information, as required by GEICO.
• Inspection and Appraisal:
  • GEICO reserves the right to inspect the vehicle and may require an independent appraisal to determine the extent of damage and the appropriate payout.
