What is comprehensive motor vehicle insurance?
Motor liability insurance is mandatory for all vehicles. In the event of an accident, it covers all personal injuries and any property damage suffered by the innocent party. However, motor liability insurance alone is not enough to protect your vehicle against vandalism, a broken windscreen or damage to the vehicle while parking. For these, you need comprehensive motor vehicle insurance. Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance is a voluntary motor insurance covering you against various types of loss or damage to your vehicle.
What does comprehensive motor vehicle insurance cover?
Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance varies, depending on the level of cover you choose – the more extensive the option, the better the coverage against different losses. The best comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for a passenger car includes four additional cover options. Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance supplemented by additional cover options insures your car against vandalism, windscreen damage, fire, technical malfunctions, collisions, driving off the road, and damage to the car in indoor car parks, for example. Additional covers may include comprehensive salvage cover, i.e. Super Salvage, which extensively covers expenses arising from salvaging a vehicle.
Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for cars: Medium Motor Insurance, Standard Motor Insurance and Super Motor Insurance
Our comprehensive motor vehicle insurance options for passenger cars, lorries and vans are Medium Motor Insurance, Standard Motor Insurance and Super Motor Insurance.
The most inexpensive option, Medium Motor Insurance, covers against fire and theft, for example. You can also customise Medium Motor Insurance to cover vandalism to your car. In Medium Motor Insurance for a passenger car, you can also include cover against windscreen and window damage. Medium Motor Insurance does not, however, cover damages due to driving off the road, for example.
Standard Motor Insurance covers damages due to driving off the road and automatically includes cover against vandalism. Standard Motor Insurance’s Collision Cover provides cover if an unknown party damages your parked car in an indoor car park or street parking, for example. When claiming compensation from Collision Cover, you lose your insurance’s no-claims bonus.
The most comprehensive option, Super Motor Insurance, covers the above types of parking damages from the optional parking cover for passenger cars without loss of no-claims bonus. You can also expand Super Motor Insurance with optional covers, such as consequential loss cover, windscreen cover and Super Salvage for a higher redemption amount.
What is the best option for my car?
Your choice of comprehensive motor vehicle insurance is affected not only by your own needs but also by the age of your vehicle and its value. For a new and valuable car, you should take out a policy that is as comprehensive as possible. For an older car, fewer covers may be sufficient. Below are a few rules of thumb that may be helpful in deciding on the right comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for your car:
- Medium Motor Insurance is suitable for older cars.
- Standard Motor Insurance is suitable for cars that are worth up to 15,000 euros and 3‒19 years old.
- Super Motor Insurance is excellently suited for new or relatively new cars, but also for any car that is less than 15 years old.
Comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for other vehicles: Maxi Motor Insurance and Medium Motor Insurance
When you want to insure a motorcycle, campervan, moped, light quadricycle, all-terrain vehicle, snowmobile, caravan or light trailer, you can choose from two comprehensive motor vehicle insurance options: Maxi Motor Insurance and Medium Motor Insurance.
Medium Motor Insurance is suited for all vehicles up to 25 years old. Maxi Motor Insurance is best suited for motorcycles subject to registration as well as campervans, mopeds, quad bikes, snowmobiles and light quadricycles up to 15 years old and for caravans and light trailers (max. 3500 kg).
Tractors aged 0–50 years and not in production use can be insured against fire, theft and legal expenses. For an unregistered motorcycle, you can take out Medium Motor Insurance without optional additional coverage.
You will find the comparison between the covers provided by the Maxi Motor Insurance and the Medium Motor Insurance for campervans close to the comparison between comprehensive motor vehicle insurance for motorcycles.
