What does GIG's war cover add-on NOT include?
What it doesn't cover:
- Third-party liability — this add-on covers only your own vehicle
- Damage from radioactive, nuclear, or atomic sources
- Goods carried for trade or business
- Airport or airside operations
- Any loss within, or within 500 metres of, a military base, defence site, or marine port
- Taxis, rental vehicles, and government or embassy-owned vehicles
Cover starts 48 hours after the add-on is bought — claims within that window aren't covered. Standard policy excess — what you pay first on a claim — still applies.
This cover runs from purchase to the end of your policy period. It's non-cancellable and non-refundable once issued, and doesn't renew automatically — and needs to be added again at time of renewal.
