Gjensidige
Gjensidige is a motor casco insurance for the Estonia market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.
Direct payment
Gjensidige determines the form and amount of the indemnity after a claim; it may pay in cash, repair or replace the vehicle, or reimburse repair costs, and often channels repairs through its cooperation partner network, reimbursing no more than what that partner would charge.
Geographic scope
Estonia
Coverage territory is specified on the policy and can be Estonia, the Baltic States, Europe, or Europe plus additional countries such as Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
Unique selling points
- Zero deductible for any collision with an animal or bird under the full casco (Täiskasko) tier.
- Free 24/7 Autoabi24 roadside assistance (jump-start, fuel delivery, towing, key/passenger transport) with no deductible, reimbursed up to EUR 300 in Estonia and EUR 800 abroad.
- Fast claims help in Estonian even for accidents that happen abroad.
- Casco pays out even when the party at fault for the accident cannot be identified.
- Optional Kasutuskatkestus add-on pays a daily cash allowance usable for taxis, e-scooters or a rental car while the vehicle is being repaired.
Coverage limits
Own vehicle damage
Covered
Casco covers frequent types of damage to the insured vehicle, from glass damage up to theft or destruction, and pays out even if the policyholder caused the accident, up to the sum insured stated on the policy.
Total loss / destruction
Covered
Gjensidige compensates direct property damage and other justified costs stated in the insurance contract; the sum insured does not decrease by amounts already paid out, and indemnity is reduced by any applicable deductible and contractual reductions.
Partial damage / repair costs
Covered
Repair costs for damage caused by sudden and unforeseen external mechanical force, traffic accidents, natural disasters, fire or explosion are compensated under the base (Osakasko) peril set, inherited by the full (Täiskasko) package.
Theft and robbery
Conditional
Only in Täiskasko
Theft, robbery and attempted theft/robbery of the vehicle or its parts are covered only under the full casco (Täiskasko) tier; the base Osakasko tier does not include these perils. Keys and documents in the policyholder's possession must be submitted, and security bolt keys are required for alloy wheel/tyre theft claims.
Glass damage
Covered
Damage to cabin glass (windows, windshield) is covered, including replacement of film applied to the glass, under both the Osakasko and Täiskasko tiers.
Natural perils
Covered
Damage caused by natural disasters such as hail and flooding is compensated under both casco tiers.
Vandalism
Covered
Damage intentionally caused to the vehicle by third parties (vandalism) is compensated under both casco tiers.
24/7 roadside assistance (Autoabi24)
€300 – €800
Free 24/7 Autoabi24 assistance (jump-start, fuel, towing, transport of passengers and keys, on-site repairs) is included with casco; Gjensidige reimburses Autoabi24 service costs up to EUR 300 in Estonia and up to EUR 800 abroad, and applies no deductible to this service.
Loss of use / daily allowance (Kasutuskatkestus)
Optional
Kasutuskatkestus is an optional add-on to either the Osakasko or Täiskasko package, paying a per-diem cash allowance (amount stated on the policy) for days the vehicle cannot be used, which can be spent on taxi rides, e-scooter or rental-car costs; it does not provide an actual replacement vehicle.
Passenger/driver accident insurance
Optional
Accident insurance for the driver and passengers travelling in the vehicle is offered as a paid add-on to either casco package; the indemnity limit per passenger is stated on the policy, and permanent disability is compensated as a percentage of that limit.
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
No specific driver age or driving-experience limit is stated in the reviewed Gjensidige casco terms; eligibility and any related conditions are set out on the individual policy.
Repair network requirements
Gjensidige decides the form and amount of indemnity after a claim and can direct repairs to its cooperation partner network, reimbursing no more than what that partner would have charged for the same service.
Territorial scope
The insurance territory is specified on the policy and can be Estonia, the Baltic States, Europe, or Europe including further countries; Gjensidige also provides fast assistance in Estonian for accidents occurring abroad.
Anti-theft requirements
Depending on the agreed terms, the vehicle may need an alarm device and immobiliser to reduce insured risk; in a theft claim all keys and documents held by the policyholder must be handed over, and security bolt keys are required for alloy wheel or tyre theft claims.
Claim notification deadline
The policyholder must notify Gjensidige of an insured event promptly and follow the insurer's instructions; for traffic accidents involving a truck or trailer, tachograph data must be submitted without delay and no later than 5 working days after the accident.
Deductible rules
A main deductible (stated on the policy) applies to damage from external mechanical force, traffic accidents, natural disasters, fire or explosion, and either a fixed deductible or a percentage of market value applies on total destruction; under Täiskasko the deductible for any collision with an animal or bird is EUR 0, and no deductible applies to Autoabi24 service costs.
