In the event of an incident where it is considered that you are “at fault”, you will be required to pay an excess known as a Customer Incident Charge (CIC). The CIC varies depending on the number of “at fault” incidents incurred during the contract term. This is designed to maintain a fixed monthly rental for the duration of your contract. It is necessary to levy a higher incident charge when there have been multiple incidents during the contract term. This is an escalating charge as follows:
The CIC is only charged where you are considered to be at fault including where you have damaged your vehicle or caused damage to a third party. If an identified third party is at fault, monies will be recovered from them.
The CIC is a contribution to the losses incurred by Arval as a result of the incident. If the repair costs are less than the CIC, then Arval will only charge you the cost of the repair. If a repair is lower than the relevant incident level then a CEP (Customer Elected Payment) is applied.
You are entitled to a courtesy car for the duration of the vehicle repair and is subject to the repairer’s conditions. Please note this will not be a like for like replacement of your existing lease vehicle.
If you are involved in an incident where the Third Party has been identified and proved at fault, you may be provided with a vehicle similar to your current lease through Arval's credit hire provider, Accident Exchange subject to acceptance.
If the repairer has a courtesy vehicle available, while your vehicle is being repaired, then you can utilise this subject to their conditions, and the insurance cover costs and / or any administration fee must be paid for directly to the repairer by yourself.
Arval is responsible for repairing and replacing the body glass to your vehicle. You must report the damage to Arval and the repair will be arranged via Arval’s network.
You will be required to pay a per incident charge which is fixed at £100 per incident where it is necessary to replace the glass. No CIC applies where the glass is repaired. The glass CIC does not count towards the escalating CIC for incidents.
To report an incident or for glass replacement call the Arval Driver Contact Centre on 0370 600 4499.
Arval cover the costs of all routine work that is due to occur during the contract term (based on manufacturer guidelines). This will include servicing, maintenance, repairs, premium tyres*, batteries, breakdown cover, exhaust and any worn items.
*Arval has a Fair Play policy on tyres. This means that damaged tyres will be replaced inside the maintenance budget. Replacements in the event of abuse, neglect, theft or vandalism will be recharged.
Arval’s maintenance scheme does not cover driver abuse items, damage or replacement as a result of neglect. These charges will be billed via a vehicle services invoice.
If you need servicing work or tyres, please contact the Arval Driver Contact Centre on 0370 600 4499 and we will assist you with a local supplier.
You must notify the Police and then Arval (quoting your crime reference number) within 24 hours. Arval’s Accident Management provider will monitor the progress directly with the police. After 21 days if the vehicle hasn’t been recovered, or has been recovered but has been deemed a total loss, then the vehicle lease will be terminated at Arval and your monthly rental liability will cease for any future rentals. At this point, Arval will invoice the relevant Customer Incident Charge (CIC) to you.
If there has been an act, omission or negligence by you or your driver which contributed to, or resulted in the theft of the vehicle (e.g. if the keys are left in the car) then the termination costs will be borne by you. If at a later point the vehicle is recovered and sold or any monies are received, these will be credited back to you up to the value of the charge you received.
The lease will be terminated as soon as our assessors have confirmed the vehicle is not economic to repair. At this point, if you were considered to be “at fault”, Arval will invoice the Customer Incident Charge (CIC) due to you. Your liability for the monthly rental of the vehicle will cease at this point.
If there is a third party at fault, Arval will seek to recover the costs from the third party’s insurers. If the losses are not recoverable due to any act or omission by you / the driver, then Arval reserve the right to invoice any losses to you.
The Driver will need to ensure they comply with the legal requirement around the weight they will be towing. In regards to insurance cover, the car will be covered for all Complete Care services however the towing item i.e. a caravan etc. will only be covered for Third Party Liability only.
As your monthly rentals are, in part, determined by your postcode, if you move home during the term of your lease contract, the finance provider is entitled to adjust your monthly rentals, however this rarely happens. If you are considering a Complete Care deal and are intending to move house soon, we would suggest seeking a quotation based on the new postcode area.
