The insurance contract provided for in article L. 211-1 stipulates that when the policyholder of a technically or economically irreparable vehicle does not accept the compensation proposal provided for in article L. 327-1 of the Highway Code, the cancellation of the insurance contract is conditional upon the provision of proof that the vehicle has been destroyed, repaired or that a contract has been taken out with a new insurer. A decree will specify the nature of the proof and the procedures for implementing this article.
The insurer is obliged to reimburse the insured for the part of the premium or contribution corresponding to the period during which the risk did not arise, calculated from the date of transfer of the vehicle for destruction.
The provisions of this article are a matter of public policy and apply to contracts in force from 1 July 2021.
