My invited renewal premium on my manual policy is cheaper then the EDI new Business premium, can I match the lower premium?
We are happy for you to override the EDI generated premium with the manually invited renewal premium if they are on a like for like basis.
To match the invited renewal premium, please override the EDI premium with the invited renewal premium using the unique override code ‘AgreeRnl’ - there is no need to ring us.
e.g. invited renewal premium is £400, EDI quote is £450, you override the EDI premium to £400 and use the override code 'AgreeRnl'.
If you are an OpenGi user and require a verification code, please contact our E-trading team and one will be provided for you.
For Policyfast users, you will need to call Policyfast on 0800 308 1137 to arrange for them to perform this task for you.

MTA/ Cancellations
I am processing a policy amendment mid-term but the system generated change in premium seems incorrect. Can I go ahead and process?
Generally when you process any amendment on your system it should calculate any change in premium correctly. If the system generated change in premium seems incorrect please call us before processing so we can confirm okay to go ahead.
I am cancelling the policy however the system generated return premium seems incorrect. Can I go ahead and process?
Generally when you process a cancellation on your system it should calculate a correct pro-rata return premium. If the system generated return premium seems incorrect please call us before processing so we can confirm okay to go ahead.

Do we allow Return Premiums when cancelling a Policy mid term if there has been a claim?
Yes, When you process the cancellation on your system it will produce a pro-rata return premium.
We have changed our EDI Software House system and can no longer process any mid-term policy amendments. Do we need to inform you?
Yes, we will need to be provided with details of which SWH you are changing from and to and also the date the system was changed. Any existing policies will be treated as manual until the next renewal so you must call us for any future changes to be teleprocessed. At renewal you would need to rebroke onto your new system as new business.

Direct debit surcharge for RSA Business Car, RSA Truck and RSA Van
From 1st August 2011, RSA will introduce a direct debit surcharge for RSA Business Car, RSA Truck and RSA Van. This will be a fixed rate of 8%, which equates to an APR of 18.59%
I have set up a new RSA EDI policy to replace an existing manual policy, which was paid on your Direct Debit scheme. Can you transfer the DD details over to the new policy?
Yes, It is important that you advise us if you are replacing an existing policy that it currently on our direct debit scheme. Simply advise us by email to [email protected] and we will then ensure the existing policy is cancelled and all debits are ceased and if required transfer over the DD details to the new policy.
What will happen to the direct debits once my policy lapses or is cancelled?
Once the policy has expired or is cancelled the direct debits will automatically stop and the client will receive any return premium due.

Can I add a temporary additional vehicle to this policy?
Yes, this will generally be acceptable i.e. the clients main vehicle going in for repair/servicing and the garage provide a courtesy vehicle. Please note the maximum days of temporary cover cannot exceed 60 days and a Car cannot replace a Van and vice versa.
Unless you are using the OpenGi SWH all other SWH system users will need to contact us for a quote. We would need to know the following information:

•Dates of cover
•Full Make and Model details, Engine Size
•Vehicle Registration, Year of Make
•Vehicle Value
•Is the vehicle modified to increase top speed, performance or acceleration?

RSA may allocate a vehicle grouping that differs from the ABI recommendation. Please feel free to call us to check TAV vehicle grouping if unsure.
If temporary cover has already been granted and an extension is required, this is treated as a new transaction.
The rates above are based on any number days up to and including those shown (e.g. 5 days cover gets the rate for 7 days.)
Van groups 21 to 24 represent vehicles with a gross weight of over 3.5 tonnes.
Car groups 27 and above - driving restrictions and/or minimum security requirements apply.

Temporary Vehicles
The client has bought a new vehicle but requires temporary cover for the existing vehicle. Can you hold cover for both vehicles?
Yes, you should process the change/substitution to the new vehicle on your SWH from the date of change the client is getting the new vehicle. We allow up to (and including) 3 days from the date of change without charge for the old vehicle to be sold. After these 3 days a TAV charge will apply.
You would need to issue a covernote for the replaced vehicle and call us on the date of issue and provide us with the covernote number so we can get processed. Please note we can only process this once the amendment for the change of vehicle has come through which can take 3 days to fall through to us hence why you are asked to issue a covernote.
If cover for the replaced vehicle is required over 3 days we would treat as a normal temporary additional vehicle and charge appropriately. We will need to be provided with the dates of cover required - maximum temporary period is 60 days.
Please refer to section ‘TAV Pricelist” for charges.

Renewal/ Rebroke
It is imperative that all EDI policies are accepted prior to the renewal date.
Any policies will have to be rebroked as new business if the renewal is not accepted in time.
Please note that we are unable to match the expiry renewal premium for any rebroked policies and current new business rates will apply.
I have processed a policy amendment after the invited renewal quote has been received. Should I call you for a revised renewal premium?
No, Once the invited renewal quote has been released by us generally 35 days before the renewal date we are unable to amend it. If you have processed a policy amendment post renewal quote being received you would need to amend the renewal quote if your SWH allows this or accept the renewal quote and process an amendment from the renewal date. The other option available is to rebroke the policy from renewal.The Policy renewal was not accepted by me in time, what should I do?
The Policy will have to be re-issued as New Business on your SWH immediately as cover cannot be backdated. Unfortunately we cannot take responsibility for the renewal not being accepted, therefore, we can only offer the new business premium.
23 Click here to request NCD Proof Click here to send us Feedback
Policy Transfer
The policy holder has agreed to transfer their RSA Business Car/Van EDI policy held under a different brokerage to my agency mid term. What do I need to do to get the policy transferred to my agency?
You will need to get the client to complete a letter of appointment letter instructing us to transfer the policy to your agency. This will need to be dated and signed by the policy holder. Please email us the letter of appointment to [email protected] with your commercial agency number and once received we will transfer the policy to your agency.
Please note that the policy will then be manual handling from the date of agency transfer meaning all future amendments will need to be teleprocessed. At renewal you would be expected to rekey the policy on to your own SWH system and go ahead with the new business premium if client wishes to remain with us. If the transfer of agency is close to the renewal of the policy please be aware that we cannot offer the renewal terms that were offered to the previous broker.

No Claims Discount
How do I request Proof of No Claims Discount (NCD) for a policy which has been cancelled mid-term?
You can request Proof of NCD by emailing your request to [email protected]. For requests by email the Proof of NCD will normally be issued by us within 7 working days of the request being received. Alternatively, if all you require is verbal confirmation then please call on 0845 300 4005.
Can I transfer the bonus from the policyholders name to the company name?
Yes, this can be done however you should make your client aware that if they transfer the bonus into the name of the company then it is only this company name the proof of bonus will be issued under.
How can I add PNCD to a policy?
This can only be done at inception or the renewal date. If you are looking to quote from renewal you must do an MTA from renewal date to add protection. If you need terms before the renewal date then you can advise the client the protection will put a 15 % load on the policy.
