In the event of the total loss of your vehicle (write-off or theft) TRAFICC Return To Invoice (RTI) helps you to recover the depreciated value of your vehicle, helping you get back what you originally paid for the vehicle and protecting your investment.
Why do I need this?
The total loss of your vehicle does not need to be an untimely financial disaster. TRAFICC RTI covers the difference between the original invoice value of your vehicle and what your insurance company pays out (usually retail or market value). The moment you drive your vehicle off the showroom floor it loses value – as much as 30% in the first three months. Because one can’t insure for the original purchase price – normally you insure for the market or retail value – TRAFICC RTI is the best protection for both new and pre-owned vehicle buyers and is available on both cash and finance deals.
In today’s world it is most likely that the pay-out you receive from your vehicle insurance will be insufficient to purchase a replacement vehicle of the same make or type without having to substantially extend your financial commitments or take more money out of your pocket.
Thus, when the unexpected happens and you are faced with an unplanned replacement of your vehicle, TRAFICC RTI will better position you to get back to the position when you bought your vehicle i.e. suffer NO loss!!
