For faster filing, or to learn more about Purchase Security and Extended Protection, go to www.visa.com/eclaims

What documents do I need to submit with my claim?

All claims must be fully substantiated as to the time, place, cause, and amount of theft or damage. In most cases you will be asked to send in, at your expense, the damaged item to substantiate a claim. Make sure you keep the damaged item in case it is requested by the Benefit Administrator.

Purchase Security:

• Your completed and signed claim form
• Your Visa Business card receipt
• The itemized store receipt
• A police report (filed within forty-eight (48) hours of the incident) in the case of theft, fire report, insurance claim, loss report, or other report sufficient to determine eligibility for benefits

How will I be reimbursed?

Purchase Security

If you have met the terms and conditions of the benefit, a decision will be made at the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, to resolve your claim in one of two ways:

1. A damaged item (whether wholly or in part) may be repaired, rebuilt, or replaced. A lost or stolen item may be replaced. Typically, you will be notified of the decision within fifteen (15) days after all your claim documentation is received.

2. You may be reimbursed for the eligible item, but not more than its original purchase price as shown on your eligible Visa Business card receipt, less shipping and handling charges up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. Under normal circumstances, reimbursement will take place within five (5) business days of receipt and approval of all required documents.

Extended Protection

Once your claim has been substantiated, and the terms and conditions of the benefit have been met, the item will be repaired or replaced, at the Benefit Administrator’s discretion, but for no more than the original purchase price of the covered items as recorded on your eligible Visa Business card receipt, less shipping and handling charges up to a maximum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. Under normal circumstances, reimbursement will take place within five (5) business days of receipt and approval of all required documents.

Extended Protection will pay the repair facility directly, if possible, or you may go to an authorized repair facility and file a claim for reimbursement.

Please Note: Only valid and reasonable repairs made at the manufacturer’s authorized repair facility are covered.

The Benefit Administrator’s payment, replacement, or repair made in good faith will fulfill the obligation under the benefit.

Do I have to file with my insurance company?

Purchase Security

Yes. If you have insurance (e.g., business owner’s, homeowner’s, renter’s, or automobile), or if you are covered by your employer’s insurance, you are required to file a claim with your insurance company and to submit a copy of any claim settlement from your insurance company along with your claim form. In some cases, where the claim amount is within your personal insurance deductible, a copy of your personal insurance policy Declarations Page may be sufficient.*

Extended Protection

No; however, if you have purchased or received a service contract or extended warranty, Extended Protection is supplemental to, and in excess of, that coverage.

*Please Note: Purchase Security provides coverage on an “excess” coverage basis. That means it does not duplicate, but pays in excess of, valid and collectible insurance or indemnity (including, but not limited to, homeowner’s, renter’s, automobile, or employer’s insurance policies). After all insurance or indemnity has been exhausted, Purchase Security will cover the theft or damage up to the amount charged to your eligible Visa Business account and subject to the terms, exclusions, and limits of liability of the benefit. Purchase Security will also pay for the outstanding deductible portion of your insurance or indemnity for eligible claims. The maximum total limit of liability is ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per claim occurrence and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) per cardholder. You will receive no more than the purchase price as recorded on the Visa Business card receipt. Where a protected item is part of a pair or a set, you will receive no more than the value (as described herein) of the particular part or parts, stolen or damaged, regardless of any special value that the item may have as part of such a pair or set, nor more than the proportionate part of an aggregate purchase price of such pair or set. Purchase Security is not “contributing” insurance, and this “non-contribution” provision shall take precedence over “non-contribution” provisions found in other insurance or indemnity descriptions, policies, or contracts.

Additional Provisions for Purchase Security and Extended Protection

These benefits apply only to you, the eligible Visa Business cardholder, and to whomever receives the eligible gifts you purchase with your eligible Visa Business card.

You shall use due diligence and do all things reasonable to avoid or diminish any theft or damage to property protected by these benefits. This provision will not be unreasonably applied to avoid claims.

If you make any claim knowing it to be false or fraudulent in any respect including, but not limited to, the cost of repair services, no benefit shall exist for such claim and your benefits may be canceled. Each claimant agrees that representations regarding claims will be accurate and complete. Any and all relevant provisions shall be void in any case of fraud, intentional concealment, or misrepresentation of material fact.

Once you report an occurrence, a claim file will be opened and shall remain open for six (6) months from the date of the damage, theft or product failure. No payment will be made on a claim that is not completely substantiated in the manner required by the Benefit Administrator within six (6) months of the date of theft or damage.

After the Benefit Administrator has paid your claim of theft or damage, all your rights and remedies against any party in respect of this theft or damage will be transferred to the Benefit Administrator to the extent of the payment made to you. You must give the Benefit Administrator all assistance as may reasonably be required to secure all rights and remedies.

No legal action for a claim may be brought against the Provider until sixty (60) days after the Provider receives Proof of Loss. No legal action against the Provider may be brought more than two (2) years after the time for giving Proof of Loss. Further, no legal action may be brought against the Provider unless all the terms of the Guide to Benefits have been complied with fully.

These benefits are provided to eligible Visa Business cardholders at no additional cost. The terms and conditions contained in this Guide to Benefits may be modified by subsequent endorsements. Modifications to the terms and conditions may be provided via additional Guide to Benefits mailings, statement inserts, or statement messages. The benefits described in this Guide to Benefits will not apply to Visa Business cardholders whose accounts have been suspended or canceled.

Termination dates may vary by financial institutions.

This information is a description of the benefit provided to you as a Visa Business cardholder. Indemnity Insurance Company of North America (“Provider”) is the underwriter of these benefits and is solely responsible for its administration and claims. The Benefit Administrator provides services on behalf of the Provider.

Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver Benefit Information

What is the Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit?

The Auto Rental Collision Damage Waiver (“Auto Rental CDW”) benefit offers coverage for automobile rentals made with your Visa Business card. The benefit provides reimbursement (subject to the terms and conditions) for damage due to collision or theft up to the actual cash value of most rental vehicles.

Who is eligible for this benefit?

You are eligible if your name is embossed on an eligible Visa Business card issued in the United States or if you are authorized by your company to rent an eligible vehicle using the company’s eligible Visa Business account, as long the rental is purchased entirely with the Visa Business account (“Authorized User”). Only you, as the primary renter of the vehicle, and any additional drivers permitted by the auto rental agreement are covered.

What losses are covered?

Covered losses are those due to theft or collision that occur while the rental vehicle is in the control of the person authorized by the rental agreement to operate the vehicle. Coverage ends when the auto rental company re-assumes control of the vehicle.

Covered losses include:

• Physical damage and/or theft of the covered rental vehicle
• Valid loss-of-use charges from the auto rental company
• Reasonable and customary charges to tow the vehicle to the nearest qualified repair facility

Please Note: This benefit only covers vehicle rental periods that do not exceed or are not intended to exceed thirty-one (31) consecutive days.

How does this coverage work with other insurance?

If the vehicle rental is for commercial and/or business purposes, your Auto Rental CDW benefit acts as primary coverage, and you may be reimbursed for up to the actual cash value of the vehicle.

If the vehicle rental is for personal reasons, this benefit is secondary coverage, supplemental to your personal automobile insurance, meaning you may only be reimbursed for the amount of your personal insurance deductible or other charges, including valid administrative and loss-of-use charges not covered under your personal insurance policy.

What types of rental vehicles are not covered?

Though most private passenger automobiles, minivans, and sport utility vehicles are eligible for coverage, the following vehicles are not covered: Expensive, exotic, and antique automobiles; certain vans; vehicles that have an open cargo bed; trucks; motorcycles, mopeds, and motorbikes; limousines; and recreational vehicles.

• Examples of excluded expensive or exotic automobiles include: the Aston Martin, Bentley, Bricklin, Daimler, DeLorean, Excalibur, Ferrari, Jensen, Lamborghini, Lotus, Maserati, Porsche, and Rolls Royce. However, selected models of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, and Lincoln are covered.
• An antique automobile is defined as any vehicle over twenty (20) years old or any vehicle that has not been manufactured for ten (10) years or more.
• Vans are not covered, with the exception of those manufactured and designed specifically as small group transportation vehicles (for a maximum of eight (8) people including the driver).

For questions about a specific vehicle, call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-VISA-911. If you are outside the United States, call collect at 303-967-1096.

What else is not covered?

• Any obligation you assume under an agreement with another party that relates to the auto rental (e.g., agreements with your employer, the auto rental company, your personal insurance carrier, etc.)
• Any violation of the auto rental agreement or this benefit
• Injury of anyone or damage to anything inside or outside the rental vehicle
• Loss or theft of personal belongings
• Personal liability
• Expenses assumed, waived, or paid by the auto rental company or its insurer
• Cost of any insurance or collision damage waiver offered by or purchased through the auto rental company
• Depreciation of the rental vehicle caused by the incident including, but not limited to “diminished value”
• Expenses reimbursable by your insurer, employer, or employer’s insurance
• Theft or damage due to intentional acts, or due to the driver(s) being under the influence of alcohol, intoxicants, or drugs, or due to contraband or illegal activities
• Wear and tear, gradual deterioration, or mechanical breakdown
• Items not installed by the original manufacturer
• Damage due to off-road operation of the rental vehicle
• Theft or damage due to hostility of any kind (including, but not limited to, war, invasion, rebellion, insurrection, or terrorist activities)
• Confiscation by authorities
• Vehicles that do not meet the definition of covered vehicles
• Rental periods that either exceed or are intended to exceed thirty-one (31) consecutive days
• Leases and mini leases
• Theft or damage as a result of the authorized driver’s and/or cardholder’s lack of reasonable care in protecting the rental vehicle before and/or after theft or damage occurs (for example, leaving the vehicle running and unattended)
• Theft or damage reported more than forty-five (45) days* from the date of the incident
• Theft or damage for which a claim form has not been received within ninety (90) days* from the date of the incident
• Theft or damage for which all required documentation has not been received within three hundred and sixty-five (365) days from the date of the incident
• Theft or damage from rental transactions that originated in Israel, Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland, or Northern Ireland

Where am I covered?

This benefit is available in the United States and most foreign countries. However, no benefit is provided for motor vehicles rented in Israel, Jamaica, the Republic of Ireland, or Northern Ireland. Coverage is also unavailable where prohibited by law, by individual merchants or when you are in violation of the territory terms of the auto rental agreement. Because regulations vary outside the United States, it is recommended you check with your auto rental company and the Benefit Administrator before you travel to make sure Auto Rental CDW will apply.

How do I make sure my Auto Rental CDW benefit is in effect?

To be sure you are covered, take the following steps when you rent a vehicle:

1. Initiate and complete the entire rental transaction with your eligible Visa Business card.
2. Decline the auto rental company’s collision damage waiver (CDW/LDW) option or similar provision if offered to you.

Helpful tips:

• Be sure to check the rental vehicle for prior damage before leaving the rental lot.
• Review the auto rental agreement carefully to make sure you have declined the rental company's CDW/LDW option and are familiar with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

What if the auto rental company insists that I purchase their insurance or collision damage waiver?

Call the Benefit Administrator for help at 1-800-VISA-911. If you are outside the United States, call collect at 303-967-1096.

Filing an Auto Rental CDW Claim

What do I do if I have an accident or the rental vehicle is stolen?

Immediately call the Benefit Administrator at 1-800-VISA-911 to report the theft or damage, regardless of whether your liability has been established. If you are outside the United States, call collect at 303-967-1096. The Benefit Administrator will answer any questions you or the auto rental company may have and will send you a claim form.

When should I report an incident?

You should report theft or damage as soon as possible, but no later than forty-five (45) days* from the date of the incident. The Benefit Administrator reserves the right to deny any claim that contains charges that would not have been included had the Benefit Administrator been notified before those expenses were incurred, so you are advised to notify the Benefit Administrator immediately after any incident.

Please Note: As the cardholder you are responsible for reporting your claim to the Benefit Administrator immediately. Reporting an incident to any other party will not fulfill this obligation.
