Finnish term or phrase: Ajoneuvo ei saa olla vakuutusyhtiön lunastama
Excerpt from a car insurance contract:

"Ajoneuvo ei saa olla vakuutusyhtiön lunastama tai vaurioituneena liikennekäytöstä poistettu historiansa aikana Suomessa tai ulkomailla."

What action is "lunastaa" describing here?

"repossess"/"(re)claim" might make sense in some contexts, but it doesn't quite match the role that I would imagine an insurance company having here.
