Storstrøm Forsikring
Storstrøm Forsikring is a motor third-party liability insurance for the Denmark market with no online purchase and limited assistance availability.

Geographic scope
National (Denmark)

Unique selling points
- Legal defence insurance (retshjælp) covering up to DKK 500,000 per claim is included as standard within the mandatory liability policy, rather than sold separately.
- Storstrøm Vejhjælp roadside assistance can be added to a liability-only policy, without requiring comprehensive (kasko) cover.
- Car damage claims are assessed via Taksatorringen, an independent, neutral valuation service, supporting fair and swift claims handling.
- Liability cover automatically extends to all EU countries and all Green Card scheme countries at no extra charge.
Coverage limits
Bodily injury liability
Covered
No limit stated
Third-party liability for personal injury caused by use of the car; covered in Denmark with the sums set out in the Danish Road Traffic Act (Færdselsloven); abroad under the visited Green Card country's legislation, at least at Danish levels.
Property damage liability
Covered
No limit stated
Third-party liability for damage to other people's property or vehicles caused by use of the car, including damage caused by an attached trailer; covered with the sums set out in the Danish Road Traffic Act.
Legal defence insurance
DKK 500,000
Basic legal defence insurance is included in the liability insurance and covers legal costs for certain private disputes where you are a party as owner, user or driver of the car; sum up to DKK 500,000 per insured event, with a deductible of DKK 2,000.
Green Card / international coverage certificate
Covered
No limit stated
The liability insurance extends to all EU countries and non-EU countries participating in the international Green Card scheme; the Green Card is the certificate documenting mandatory liability cover abroad. No separate monetary sum applies to this extension itself.
Roadside assistance (Storstrøm Vejhjælp)
Optional
No limit stated
Add-on covering breakdown and traffic-accident roadside assistance and related person transport in Denmark (excluding Greenland and the Faroe Islands); it can be bought together with the liability insurance alone or with comprehensive cover.
Driver accident insurance (Førerulykke)
DKK 1,103,500
Optional add-on (can be bought with liability and/or comprehensive insurance) covering personal injury to the car's driver from a driving accident: permanent injury (up to DKK 1,103,500 at 100% disability, reduced 1%/year after age 40), loss of earning capacity, lost income, loss-of-provider payments (at least DKK 1,239,000), dental damage and DKK 30,000 funeral aid. The product marketing page describes driver cover as included, but the IPID lists Førerulykke as a separate optional add-on, which governs.
Passenger liability cover
Covered
No limit stated
Liability insurance covers injuries to passengers in the car as part of third-party liability, with the sums set out in the Danish Road Traffic Act; this is liability-based cover, not a fixed accident sum.
Key conditions
Territorial scope
The liability insurance covers driving in all EU countries and in non-EU countries participating in the international Green Card scheme, applying the visited country's legislation but at least the Danish sums.
Green card rules
The Green Card is an international insurance certificate documenting that the owner/user has mandatory liability cover while driving abroad; it lists all countries participating in the scheme.
Driver restrictions
Anyone lawfully using the car, or driving it with the policyholder's permission, is covered as insured. Liability insurance does not cover damage to the driver's own person or to property owned by the driver, the regular user, the policyholder or their spouse/partner; cover is excluded if the driver lacked a valid licence, acted with intent or gross negligence, or was under the influence of alcohol or drugs, unless the insured can show the injury was unrelated.
Claim notification deadline
Report a claim as soon as possible via storstrom.dk or by phone on 5555 8888; theft and vandalism must always be reported to the police in the country where it occurred, and as soon as possible.
Bonus-malus rules
The policy has a fixed price with no step-based (bonus-malus) premium increase after a claim — the price does not rise because of a claim. The insurer does, however, reserve the right to individually reassess the policy's terms, deductible or price if it deems it necessary, e.g. after a high number of claims.
