Aros Forsikring - Gensidigt Forsikringsselskab
Aros Forsikring
Aros Forsikring is a motor third-party liability insurance for the Denmark market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
Premiums are paid via direct debit (Betalingsservice) or payment/giro card, with the first payment due when the policy takes effect and later payments on the agreed due dates. Administration costs and statutory charges (state duty, non-life insurance tax, environmental contribution, guarantee fund contribution) are added to the premium. If payment is late, a reminder is sent no earlier than 14 days after the due date, and the policy lapses if payment is not received within 21 days after the reminder is sent.
Geographic scope
Denmark and Green Card countries
The insurance covers Denmark and the countries where the Green Card scheme applies. If a separate frontier/border insurance has been taken out for driving abroad, this policy only covers to the extent the other insurance does not.

Green Card cover
Covered
No limit stated
The policy provides cover in Denmark and in the countries where the Green Card scheme applies, i.e. the compulsory liability cover extends to driving abroad within Green Card member states. No separate monetary limit for the green card itself is stated.
Roadside assistance (Aros Autohjælp Plus)
Optional
No limit stated
Roadside assistance is an optional add-on (Aros Autohjælp Plus, provided via SOS Dansk Autohjælp), available only if selected and shown on the policy; it is not part of the base liability (MTPL) cover. It covers Denmark and Europe (excluding the Faroe Islands and Greenland) for vehicles up to 3,500 kg, including towing, start help, tyre change, fuel supply, lock-out assistance and hotel accommodation if repair cannot be completed the same day.
Driver accident insurance
DKK 500,000 – DKK 1,000,000
Driver accident insurance is included in the base policy and applies only if the driver cannot obtain compensation from a liability, occupational injury, criminal injuries, accident or other insurance/scheme. It covers personal injury to the car's driver caused directly by a driving accident involving the insured car as the only motor vehicle involved. The death benefit is DKK 500,000 and the disability (invaliditet) benefit is up to DKK 1,000,000, payable in proportion to the assessed degree of permanent injury (payable from 5% permanent injury and up).
Passenger accident insurance
Excluded
The policy's accident cover applies exclusively to the car's driver ('Førerulykkesforsikringen dækker alene bilens fører'); no separate accident benefit for passengers is provided.
Key conditions
Territorial scope
Cover applies in Denmark and in countries where the Green Card scheme applies; if a separate frontier insurance for driving abroad exists, this policy only covers what the other insurance does not.
Green card rules
All insurers providing compulsory motor liability cover in Denmark must be members of DFIM (Dansk Forening for International Motorkøretøjsforsikring). If the compulsory liability insurance lapses, this is reported to DFIM, which can impose a fee of DKK 250 per day for an uninsured motor vehicle; a new policy cannot be taken out until the fee is paid.
Driver restrictions
Cover includes the policyholder and anyone using the car with the policyholder's permission or as its driver. Other regular/authorised users must be listed on the vehicle's registration certificate and on the insurance policy; incorrect information about the actual user can reduce or void the right to compensation.
Claim notification deadline
Any damage must be reported to the insurer immediately, as delay can affect the compensation available. Robbery, theft or vandalism must also be reported immediately to the police. The insurer is entitled to reject comprehensive (kasko) claims not reported within 14 days of the date of loss.
Bonus-malus rules
The policy has 2 premium tiers (trin 1 and trin 2); both tiers are treated as 'elite driver' status, and no adjustment of the premium tier is made as a result of claims.
