Direct payment

If may choose to settle a claim either with a cash payment or by having the vehicle repaired; cash settlement is used e.g. when repair costs would exceed statutory total-loss thresholds, when a stolen vehicle is not recovered within 28 days of the police/If being notified, or when If assesses that repair is not worthwhile.

Geographic scope

Denmark

The mandatory liability part covers Denmark and all Green Card countries. The casco (Delkasko/Kasko/Bil Super/Leasing Super) coverage, If Vejhjælp Europa and other add-ons only cover abroad in connection with holiday trips of up to 8 consecutive weeks; if another policy also covers the trip abroad, this policy only pays what the other policy does not cover.

Unique selling points

  • Customers can get up to 15% combined discount by calculating and buying their car insurance online.
  • Monthly payment is available at no extra cost compared to annual payment.
  • Extra equipment fitted after first registration is automatically covered up to 50,000 DKK with Delkasko, Kasko or Bil Super.
  • With Bil Super, depreciation compensation of 10% of repair costs is paid when a covered repair bill exceeds 20,000 DKK.
  • A free courtesy car is provided for up to 5 weeks if the insured car is stolen.

Theft and robbery

Covered

Only in Delkasko, Kasko, Bil Super, Leasing Super

Loss of the vehicle and damage caused in connection with theft, burglary, robbery or attempts thereof is covered from Delkasko level upward. Bil Super adds an extra 10% on top of trade value if the vehicle is not recovered within 28 days of notification to If and police.

Extended glass damage

Optional

Only in Kasko, Bil Super, Leasing Super

A paid add-on (Udvidet glasdækning), available on Kasko, Bil Super and Leasing Super, covering windscreen, side and rear windows, mirror and light glass, cabin partitions and glass/sun/panorama roofs, without affecting the no-claims price step. No deductible applies to repairs; a deductible applies if replacement is needed. Displays/touch screens are excluded. Basic glass damage without this add-on is otherwise treated as an ordinary kasko claim subject to the normal deductible.

Source

Natural perils (fire, lightning, explosion)

Conditional

Only in Delkasko, Kasko, Bil Super, Leasing Super

Damage from fire, lightning strike and explosion is covered from Delkasko level upward. However, damage caused by weather exposure such as corrosion, rust and frost damage, and Danish/domestic earthquakes or other natural catastrophes, is explicitly excluded from the whole policy.

Vandalism

Conditional

Only in Kasko, Bil Super, Leasing Super

Vandalism damage is covered under Kasko, Bil Super and Leasing Super. It is explicitly NOT covered under Delkasko. 'Serial vandalism' (vandalism on three or more vehicles at the same time and place, confirmed by police) is covered with no deductible and no effect on the no-claims price step.

Russia to the Urals, Israel, Morocco, Tunisia, Turkey, Iran) for breakdowns/accidents linked to a covered kasko claim, including towing, start help, fuel delivery, hotel stay and repatriation. Domestic roadside assistance in Denmark (If Vejhjælp Danmark) is a separate paid add-on covering starting help, wheel change, fuel delivery, lock-out and towing.

Replacement/courtesy car

Conditional

Included from Delkasko level upward while the vehicle is repaired at an If Partner garage (100 km/day free of charge, no guarantee of same make/model).

No sum is stated; amounts follow statutory rates.

Key conditions

Driver age and experience limit

If the driver at the time of a claim is under 25 and the 'Ung bilist' (Young Driver) add-on has not been purchased, an extra 5,000 DKK deductible is charged on top of the standard deductible, unless the driver is the policyholder, spouse or cohabiting partner.

Repair network requirements

The extended courtesy-car benefits under Delkasko, Kasko, Bil Super and Leasing Super require repair at an If Partner garage; If cannot guarantee the courtesy car will match the insured vehicle's make, model or equipment.

Territorial scope

Casco cover, including If Vejhjælp Europa and other add-ons, applies abroad only in connection with holiday trips of up to 8 consecutive weeks, and only to the extent not covered by any other insurance taken out for driving abroad.

Anti-theft requirements

The terms and conditions do not state any mandatory alarm, immobilizer or other anti-theft device requirement as a condition for theft cover.

Claim notification deadline

Claims must be reported to If as soon as possible via if.dk or the 24/7 phone line. Crimes such as theft, robbery or vandalism must also be reported to the police in the country where the incident occurred. Requests for psychological crisis help must be reported within 3 months of the incident.

Deductible rules

The deductible amount is stated in the insurance agreement. Only one deductible applies if a claim affects both liability and casco cover. If two or more chargeable claims occur within 12 months at price steps 1-7, the deductible doubles from the second claim onward (not applicable at step 8, 'elitebilist'). An extra 5,000 DKK deductible applies for drivers under 25 (without Ung bilist) or for exceeding the agreed annual mileage. No deductible applies to glass repairs, Friskade claims, serial vandalism, or psychological crisis help.
