Coverage limits
Own damage (casco)
Covered
If you buy casco insurance, your car is insured at new value during its first year as a factory-new car, and thereafter at trade value (the cost of replacing a car of similar make, age, model and year). Included in all three packages: Basis, Udvidet and Super.
Total loss settlement
Covered
Total loss claims are settled at new value within the first year as factory-new, thereafter at trade value (replacement cost of an equivalent make/age/model/year vehicle).
Partial loss / damage repair
Covered
Repairable damage to the insured vehicle from accidents, fire, theft or vandalism is covered under casco, with repairs carried out at a workshop, including partner workshops offering a replacement car and up to a 5-year repair warranty.
Theft and robbery
Covered
Casco insurance covers damage to your car in case of e.g. traffic accidents, vandalism and theft; if your number plates are stolen, replacement and mounting costs are covered without a deductible.
Glass damage
Optional
Only in Udvidet, Super
Optional glass cover repairs stone chips and cracks in the windscreen, side windows or rear window; windscreen replacement costs up to DKK 2,000 of the deductible, while sunroof/panoramic glass roof replacement is covered with no deductible. Included from the Udvidet package upward.
Natural perils (storm, hail, flood)
No limit stated
No source explicitly confirms coverage for natural perils such as storm, hail or flood under this casco product.
Vandalism
Covered
Casco insurance covers damage to your car caused by vandalism as well as traffic accidents and theft.
Roadside assistance (Tryg Vejhjælp)
Covered
Tryg Vejhjælp roadside assistance is included in all three packages (Basis, Udvidet, Super) and can be reached on +45 70 11 20 00 in Denmark or abroad; once the car is casco-insured, international roadside assistance and rescue abroad is included, extendable to the rest of Europe with Udvidet Tryg Vejhjælp.
Replacement/loan car
Covered
With casco cover you get a loan car while your vehicle is repaired at a partner workshop; if the car is written off or stolen, the optional LåneBil Ekstra cover provides a loan car for up to 14 days after compensation is paid.
Driver accident insurance (Førerforsikring)
Optional
Førerforsikring is an optional cover protecting the driver in a solo accident where no other party is involved, paying compensation for loss of earning capacity from as little as 15% disability, a lower threshold than standard pension schemes (50%); applies to any authorised driver of the car.
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
Premiums are calculated based on the youngest regular driver of the car; under the current terms there is no extra deductible requirement tied to a young driver's age, though the price increases if a child under 26 drives the car regularly. Under terms purchased before 8 November 2022, an additional deductible applied if a driver under 26 caused damage.
Repair network requirements
TJM reserves the right to direct repairs to a designated Tryg repair workshop; we must always be contacted before the car is taken to a workshop, unless immediate towing or emergency repair is required. Using one of TJM's partner workshops gives quality-assured service and up to 5 years' warranty on repairs.
Territorial scope
The policy applies throughout Europe and in non-European countries that are part of the Green Card scheme, which documents that the mandatory liability insurance for the owner/user is in place when driving abroad.
Anti-theft requirements
Detached parts and equipment for the car (including winter/summer wheels) are only covered if they are stored in a properly locked room; permanently mounted extra equipment beyond the car's original make/model/year worth more than DKK 30,000 is only covered if increased equipment cover has been purchased.
Claim notification deadline
You must immediately try to limit the extent of the damage and report the claim to TJM as soon as possible via the website or by phone; theft and vandalism must be reported to the police in the country where it occurred immediately.
Deductible rules
You can choose your own deductible level based on your need for security; windscreen replacement under glass cover is capped at DKK 2,000 of the deductible while sunroof/panoramic glass replacement carries no deductible; leased cars returned under the current 24T9 terms carry a fixed deductible of DKK 3,500 for return-condition damage, deducted only once even if several small damages are claimed.
