If you enter into a long-term lease contract with purchase option, the merchant can require that you get insurance. The merchant may not, however, require that you purchase this insurance from a specific insurer.
Choice of insurance
When merchants require insurance, they must inform you that:
- you can purchase this insurance from the insurer or representative of your choice;
- you can provide insurance that you already hold.
The contract must then also include a mandatory reference to the insurance.
A merchant may, on reasonable grounds, refuse the insurance you have chosen or that you already hold.
