The Buses Insurance policy is designed to protect buses whose primary use is as School Transportation. It also offers coverage to buses used incidentally for transportation to special activities.

This insurance covers direct damages to the insured bus. It also covers you for all amounts which you may be legally required to pay as a result from an accident while driving or using your bus, which causes damages or bodily injury to a third party. Both coverages have to be selected to apply.

In case of an accident you can report your claim through the telephone service MAPFRE Contact Center, where a reference number and a claim adjuster will be assigned to you. We will fix a date with the day and time at the branch closest to you to avoid delays in attending your claim.
