Unique selling points

In casco, Feuersozietät waives proportional cuts for gross negligence, except where the theft was enabled or the loss was caused under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

No 'new-for-old' wear deduction is applied on repairs, including for electric/hybrid vehicle traction batteries.

VollkaskoPLUS extends cover to virtually all further risks the vehicle is exposed to, plus up to €100,000 per year for damage the policyholder causes to their own other insured property.

Telematics-based 'Kfz Vario FahrStil' program grants an immediate 30% start discount and up to 45% ongoing discount for safe driving, rewarded via a free sensor and app.

Coverage limits

Covered

Own damage to the insured vehicle (Kasko)

Covered

Covers the insured car against damage, destruction, total loss or loss resulting from events under partial casco (Teilkasko) or full casco (Vollkasko). Maximum indemnity is capped at the vehicle's new price (Neupreis). Factory-fitted parts are co-insured; retrofitted parts/accessories and special equipment are covered up to €5,000 per claim (base) or €20,000 per claim with TeilkaskoPLUS/VollkaskoPLUS.

Clause A.2.1.2; A.2.1.3; A.2.3.6Page 4

Section: A Welche Leistungen umfasst Ihre Kfz-Versicherung? > A.2 Kaskoversicherung - für Schäden an Ihrem Pkw > A.2.1 Was ist versichert? > Fahrzeug- und Zubehörteile

Für die oben genannten Spezialaufbauten /-ausrüstungen sowie nachträglich eingebaute Fahrzeug- und Zubehörteile, soweit sie im Pkw eingebaut oder durch entsprechende Halterung fest verbunden sind, ist die Entschädigung im Kernschutz Teilkasko bzw. Vollkasko auf maximal 5.000 Euro pro Schadenfall beschränkt.

Covered

Total loss, destruction or theft settlement

Covered

Pays the replacement value (Wiederbeschaffungswert) less residual value. New-price compensation (Neupreisentschädigung) applies if the loss occurs within 6 months of first registration (base Kernschutz), extended to 24 months under VollkaskoPLUS, provided the owner bought the vehicle new from a manufacturer/dealer.

Covered

Repair costs for damage (partial loss)

Covered

Reimburses repair costs up to the replacement value if fully and properly repaired (against invoice), otherwise up to replacement value less residual value. Disposal, towage and OEM-price surcharges are also reimbursed against invoice; 'new-for-old' deductions are waived (A.2.9.5).

Covered

Theft and robbery

Covered

Covers theft, robbery, unauthorized use (under conditions) and embezzlement of the vehicle or its co-insured parts. A percentage deduction applies to theft claims unless the vehicle was secured with a recognized immobilizer (Wegfahrsperre) at the time of theft. TeilkaskoPLUS additionally grants a free courtesy vehicle (one class lower) for up to one month after theft.

Covered

Glass breakage

Covered

Covers breakage of the vehicle's glazing (windscreen, rear, roof, side and partition glass, mirror glass, light covers); glass/plastic parts of assistance, camera or information systems, solar modules, displays, monitors and bulbs are excluded, as are consequential damages. If the 'Partnerwerkstatt' service is agreed, reimbursement requires use of the designated glass specialist.

Covered

Natural hazards

Covered

Base cover includes storm (wind force 8+), hail, lightning, avalanche and flood. TeilkaskoPLUS/VollkaskoPLUS extend this to earthquake, ground subsidence, landslide, volcanic eruption and roof avalanches (Dachlawine).

Conditional

Vandalism / malicious damage

Conditional

Malicious or spiteful acts by unauthorised third parties are covered only under Vollkasko/VollkaskoPLUS core cover; Teilkasko explicitly excludes vandalism and accident damage per both IPIDs.

Optional

Roadside assistance / breakdown cover (Schutzbrief)

Optional

Not part of the Kasko contract itself. The Schutzbrief (breakdown and accident assistance) can only be taken out together with the MTPL (Kfz-Haftpflicht) contract for the same vehicle, not as a Kasko add-on. It covers on-site breakdown help, towing, recovery and, from 50 km away from home, return/onward travel, accommodation, rental car and repatriation assistance.

Conditional

Courtesy / replacement vehicle after theft

Conditional

Under TeilkaskoPLUS (also included in VollkaskoPLUS), a free replacement vehicle one rental class lower is provided after theft of the insured vehicle, until the recovered vehicle is repaired or a new vehicle is purchased, limited to one month from the time of theft. A separate rental-car benefit (up to €70/day, max 7 days) also exists under the Schutzbrief rider, which is tied to the MTPL contract, not to Kasko.

Optional

Motor accident (occupant) insurance

Optional

A separately selectable insurance type (not automatically part of Kasko) paying agreed lump sums to vehicle occupants for invalidity or death; sums are stated in the policy schedule. Not included in the Vario Kasko core contract itself.

Key conditions

Driver age and experience limit

No blanket coverage restriction by driver age. However, a favourable SF-Klasse 2 no-claims rating requires the vehicle to be driven only by persons aged 25 or older (or resident family members); if this condition later lapses, the contract is downgraded to SF-Klasse 1/2.

Repair network requirements

Free choice of repair shop applies by default. If the optional 'Werkstatt Service' (Partnerwerkstatt agreement) has been selected, repair costs and glass-damage repairs are only reimbursed in full if a workshop/glass specialist designated by the insurer is used; otherwise reimbursement is capped at the cost that workshop would have charged.

Anti-theft requirements

In the event of theft, a percentage deduction is applied to the indemnity unless the vehicle was fitted with a recognized immobilizer (Wegfahrsperre) at the time of theft, in which case the insurer waives the deduction (the standard deductible still applies).

Claim notification deadline

Any claim event must generally be reported within one week. Theft of the vehicle or co-insured parts must be reported immediately in text form. Theft, fire, animal or vandalism damage exceeding €500 must additionally be reported to the police without delay.

Deductible rules

A deductible, if agreed, is deducted from the indemnity for each claim event per insured vehicle; the amount is shown in the policy schedule and affects the premium.

Ist eine Selbstbeteiligung vereinbart, wird diese bei jedem Schadenereignis für jedes versicherte Fahrzeug von der Entschädigung abgezogen. Ihrem Versicherungsschein können Sie entnehmen, ob und in welcher Höhe Sie eine Selbstbeteiligung vereinbart haben.

Direct payment

If the optional 'Werkstatt Service' (Partnerwerkstatt) agreement is chosen, the insurer settles repair costs directly with a designated partner workshop or glass specialist; without this agreement, the customer pays and is reimbursed against invoice, capped at the cost a partner workshop would have charged if the vehicle was not repaired at a designated workshop.

Territorial scope

Coverage applies within the geographical borders of Europe and the non-European territories of EU member states; can be extended to further non-European countries listed on an International Insurance Card (Green Card) not struck through
