Covered

Covers any damage to the insured car, including fitted and unfitted accessories used with the car, as well as loss by theft and robbery. Aftermarket equipment such as audio/navigation/tuning equipment is capped at 27,329 kr (2021 index).

Section: Vilkår personbil, vare- og lastvogne > 3. Kaskoforsikring personbil

Forsikringen dækker enhver skade på den forsikrede personbil, herunder på fastmonteret tilbehør og ikke-monteret tilbehør og værktøj, når dette alene anvendes i forbindelse med den forsikrede bil samt tab af bilen ved tyveri og røveri.

Covered

Total loss settlement

Covered

For privately registered cars, new-for-old (nyværdierstatning) settlement applies if the damage occurs within the first year after first registration, the car was factory-new when the policy was taken out/changed, and repair costs exceed 50% of the car's new value; this does not apply to leased cars. Otherwise settlement is at the cash value of an equivalent car; if a stolen/robbed car is not recovered within 4 weeks of notifying the insurer and police, cash settlement applies.

Section: Vilkår personbil, vare- og lastvogne > 3. Kaskoforsikring personbil > Erstatningsregler

For biler registreret til privat personkørsel, herunder skolevogne, har forsikringstageren ret til en erstatning, der svarer til prisen for en tilsvarende fabriksny bil af samme fabrikat, type og årgang som den beskadigede... Nyværdierstatning i henhold til ovenstående kan ikke opnås for leasede biler.

Covered

Partial damage / repair cover

Covered

The insurer restores the car to its pre-damage condition and may direct the repairer. Loss of trade value from repair (e.g. colour differences after painting) is not covered but may in some cases be claimed from a liable third party. Repairs are not carried out if the repair cost exceeds the threshold set by the Ministry of Taxation, in which case cash settlement applies instead.

Covered

Theft and robbery cover

Covered

Loss of the car by theft or robbery is covered under kasko. If the car is not recovered within 4 weeks of the insurer and police receiving notification, the claim is settled in cash based on the cost of an equivalent car.

Glass damage cover

Covered

Damage to the car's windows, sunroof glass, headlamp glass and mirror glass is covered under kasko. If the frontrude/glastag can be repaired (stone-chip repair), no deductible applies. If it must be replaced, a deductible of 1,740 kr (2021 index) applies under the optional Udvidet bildækning/friskadeforsikring add-on; without that add-on the policy's standard deductible applies to a replacement.

Compensation is calculated under the rules and rates of the Danish Liability for Damages Act, and can cover lost income, medical/transport costs, pain and suffering, permanent injury, loss of earning capacity, and loss-of-provider/funeral costs.

Key conditions

Driver age and experience limit

If the car is driven by a person under 26 and that driver is held liable for a compensable traffic accident, an age-related deductible of 4,781 kr (2021 index) applies in addition to the ordinary deductible. This does not apply if the driver is the registered owner/user, a spouse/cohabiting partner, or driving a company vehicle for business use. Household drivers under 26 borrowing the family car are exempt from any increased deductible under the 'Ung fører bonus' and can accrue their own no-claims history.

Repair network requirements

The insurer is entitled to designate the repair workshop. If the damaged vehicle was already left with or sold to a dealer/repairer at the time of the incident, repairs at that workshop must be invoiced at net prices; repairs on the policyholder's own vehicle are likewise settled at net prices.

Anti-theft requirements

No specific anti-theft device or immobiliser requirement is stated in the reviewed policy terms for private car kasko cover.

Claim notification deadline

Claims must be reported to the insurer as soon as possible, either online or by phone. Theft, robbery, assault and vandalism must also be reported to the police, and a police report receipt should be kept. If a stolen/robbed car is not recovered within 4 weeks of the insurer and police receiving notification, the claim is settled in cash.

Deductible rules

One deductible applies per claim (the highest applicable amount if both liability and kasko are triggered by the same incident). No deductible applies for vandalism by a known perpetrator, damage while the car was with a repairer/dealer, damage after sale to a new owner, or claims where liability lapses under the Liability for Damages Act. A deductible of 1,740 kr (2021 index) applies to windscreen/sunroof replacement (waived if the policy's kasko deductible is zero); an age-related deductible of 4,781 kr applies for drivers under 26 (with exceptions); and an additional deductible of 20,739 kr applies if the driver was over the alcohol limit, on drugs, or unlicensed.

Direct payment

The insurer may either settle claims by paying an approved repair shop directly or by reimbursing the policyholder for repair expenses; direct payment to an approved repair shop is the typical practice.

Territorial scope

The policy covers Denmark, Europe, and Green Card countries outside Europe; it does not cover driving on airport airside areas unless specially agreed, and unregistered mopeds and stationary caravans are covered only in Denmark
