Return to Invoice (RTI) cover in car insurance bridges the gap between the insured car's current value and its original invoice price. If the car is stolen or damaged beyond repair, this add-on ensures the policyholder is reimbursed with the full invoice amount, including registration charges and road tax, providing complete financial protection.
How does Return to Invoice (RTI) cover work?
Return to invoice (RTI) cover is an insurance add-on designed to provide an extra layer of financial protection to a car/vehicle in the event of a total loss or theft. While purchasing a new vehicle, one can opt for RTI cover alongside comprehensive car insurance .
In case of any unfortunate incident where the vehicle is stolen or suffers irreparable damage, the regular comprehensive insurance would typically compensate the policyholder based on the Insured declared value (IDV) of the vehicle, which accounts for depreciation.
However, return to invoice (RTI) cover, the insurer reimburses the policyholder for the entire invoice value of the car as stated in the purchase invoice, without any depreciation which means the policyholders receive the same amount of value they initially paid for the car, allowing them to recover the full cost of their investment.
By opting for a return to invoice cover (RTI), vehicle owners can enjoy greater peace of mind knowing that they have financial protection in place that ensures they can recover the original purchase price of their car from this cover.
