What it Covers
In addition to a comprehensive level of additional covers, our policy also includes the following features in the material damage section of our wording:
Basis of Settlement
- Replacement value on machines less than 24 months old and market value for machines over 24 months (subject to sum insured).
Traditional mobile plant and equipment products typically only allow for market value as the basis of settlement regardless of the machines age, but with Chubb’s mobile plant product, the insured is able to obtain a new machine for their machines less than 24 months old which are involved in a total loss scenario.
