philgoddard Aug 31, 2023:
Björn Yes, I think Cilian's "accident and breakdown cover" is perfect, and there's no point posting it again. We (and Patrick) should have checked the glossary.
Björn Vrooman Aug 31, 2023:
@Phil There's basically only one Ghit coming up when you search for the sentence online. It also says there (won't link to it, since it may be the asker's text): "In unserem Premium-Tarif erhalten Sie außerdem auch einen Pannenservice!"

So something similar to Cilian's suggestion (see Emmanuella's link) might work. E.g.:

philgoddard Aug 31, 2023:
I was going to say breakdown assistance, but it presumably also applies to sailboats. Could it just be a towing service?
Emmanuella Aug 31, 2023:
Sorry, I forgot it's meant for ships.
Björn Vrooman Aug 31, 2023:
PS Yes, as Emmanuella just posted while I was typing, though it's needed for ships here so "roadside" obviously won't work.

(Edit: Unless it's about this: "Welche Fahrzeuge sind durch die Schutzbrief-Versicherung abgesichert?
...
Grundsätzlich gilt der Versicherungsschutz durch den Kfz-Schutzbrief auch für mitgeführtes Zubehör wie beispielsweise einen Wohnwagen, einen Gepäck- oder Bootsanhänger." https://www.helvetia.com/de/web/de/ratgeber/fahrzeuge/kfz-ve... - but somehow, I don't think so.)
Björn Vrooman Aug 31, 2023:
@Patrick The following is what's meant by a "Schutzbrief" in a car context:
https://www.allianz.de/auto/kfz-versicherung/schutzbrief/

It's some kind of supplemental coverage/optional cover, the primary purpose being roadside assistance.

coverage

"Schutzbrief" in German translates as "coverage" in English in the context of Bus/Financial and Insurance because it refers to a specific type of insurance policy that provides additional benefits or services, such as roadside assistance or legal protection, in addition to the main coverage.

Example sentences in English:
1. "This insurance policy offers comprehensive coverage and includes a protection plan for additional benefits and services."
2. "With the coverage plan, you will enjoy peace of mind knowing that you are protected against unforeseen circumstances and have access to various services."
3. "Our insurance package includes full coverage as well as a valuable protection plan for added assistance and support."
This is an AI-generated answer.

neutral writeaway : Again "answered" in 0 minutes with "explanation". Does this machine get fed questions before they get posted? /@Steve Robbie: interesting theory. You may well be right

neutral Steve Robbie : No, it really is that fast. Anyway, the real point of this is surely not to answer the question, but to stop human users passing off ChatGPT output as their own suggestion. There had been a plague of that.

What is a Marine Insurance Certificate?
Insuranceopedia
https://www.insuranceopedia.com › definition › marin...
A marine insurance certificate is a document that an insured gives to the shipper responsible for their cargo or any other shipping-related activity.
Note from asker:
I disagree, as the "Insurance certificate" is just a paper confirming insurance, while "Schutzbrief" is a type of insurance.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Birgit Gläser : Insurance certificate ist normalerweise der Versicherungsschein im Sinne des Papierdokuments während ein Schutzbrief eine Versicherungsform ist

agree Adrian MM. : IMO a *marine ins. cert.* https://www.insuranceopedia.com/definition/2840/marine-insur... It's hardly - in this context - 'a car breakdown ins. (pol.) / roadside assistance package' or 'charter/party?' / Satzung ! Der Große Eichborn

motor/vehicle (travel) assistance plan

Die Generali nennt ihren Schutzbrief in der englischen Version "assistance cover" an anderer Stelle motor travel assistance plan... mir gefällt plan besser, cover ist m.E. das, was im plan an Leistungen enthalten ist...

Kommt jetzt aufs Zielland an, für UK würde ich wohl eher motor nehmen, allgemein tendiere ich zu vehicle... Und je nach dem, was im Plan tatsächlich enthalten ist (gibt wohl auch welche mit Auslandsrücktransport) mit oder ohne travel...
