You are not permitted to export the vehicle for a period exceeding 30 days outside the province or territory in which this lease was entered into without the prior written consent of AFS. If you have any questions about the insurance requirements for your vehicle, please contact the AFS Insurance Tracking Department at 1-866-899-4440. What to do in the Event of a Collision Involved in a Collision? Should you be involved in a collision, please call Acura Concierge at 1-866-899-4440 after you have reported the details of the accident to the police and your insurance company. An AFS Total Loss Representative will settle the claim with your insurance adjuster. If a waiver of depreciation does not apply, we will settle your account based on the fair market value and any insurance overpayment will be refunded to the lessee. Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) Every AFS automobile lease contract carries automatic GAP protection. In the event of a total loss insurance claim (where a waiver of depreciation does not apply), there may be a difference between your contractual obligation and the amount of the insurance settlement. GAP protection will cover the deficiency in such a situation. GAP will not cover insurance deductibles, late payments, fines, excess kilometre charges or negative equity If you have any other questions, please contact Acura Concierge at 1-866-899-4440, and one of our Acura Client Advisors will be happy to assist you. 5|Page Lease Maturity Options Our goal at Acura Financial Services (AFS) is to ensure that your end-of-lease process is as seamless and enjoyable as the experience of driving your vehicle.
