The main guarantees of IMA Assistance Italie
In case of immobilisation of your vehicle in Europe, IMA Ibérica organises:
Breakdown assistance
Repairing or towing the motorhome to the nearest garage if repairs can't be done on the side of the road, where the incident took place.
The breakdown assistance service organises and pays for the transport of the vehicle to the nearest garage or to the place of assistance chosen by the insured, within a radius of 50km of the place where the vehicle is immobilised. The costs of spare parts and any other repair costs are not covered.
Replacement vehicle
If the vehicle is immobilised and the repair takes more than 8 hours, the breakdown assistance provides a replacement car (category B - 1200 cc capacity), for a maximum of 7 days. These conditions apply when the vehicle is immobilised more than 50km from the insured's home.
Repatriation, onward travel or accommodation costs
If the vehicle is immobilised more than 50km from the place of departure and the repair requires more than 24hours, the breakdown assistance will provide one of the following, as alternatives to each other, up to a limit of €150 per person (including VAT) and in any case up to a total limit of €600.
- Repatriation of renters or onward travel: an airline ticket (economy class) or train ticket (1st class) or other means of transport, in order to enable the renters of the vehicle to return to their home or travel destination;
- Accommodation: one night's accommodation (including breakfast) in a local hotel during the repairs. Waiting time due to the unavailability of parts related to the repair of the vehicle is excluded.

If the insured vehicle has been immobilised in Italy for more than 36 hours or abroad for at least 5 days, Assistance will pay for the onward journey to enable the owner to recover the vehicle, if it is roadworthy, up to a maximum of €500 including tax. If the vehicle is not roadworthy, Assistance organises and pays for the transport of the vehicle to the place previously agreed with the owner, up to a maximum of € 500 including VAT.
