Ditzo
Ditzo is a motor casco insurance for the Netherlands market with no online purchase and limited assistance availability.

Geographic scope
Netherlands (with EU/Green Card countries cover)
Valid in the countries shown on the Green Card (International Motor Insurance Card) that are not crossed out; not valid in crossed-out or unlisted countries.
Unique selling points
- Optional Nieuwwaarde 2- or 3-year cover extends full new-value reimbursement for new cars well beyond the standard 12-month period most insurers offer.
- Covers damage to the engine, drivetrain, electrical system or transmission caused by an inherent manufacturing defect for up to 36 months or 100,000 km on new cars.
- Free Haal- en brengservice picks up and delivers a loan car during repairs, with brand or FOCWA guarantee on the repair when using the selected repair network.
- No deductible applies to windscreen repair, emergency roadside assistance (Hulpverlening), or costs paid under the accident-avoidance cost cover.
- Claims for glass breakage, fire/storm, theft or natural disasters don't count against your no-claims ladder position, protecting a discount of up to 75%.
Coverage limits
Own damage cover (collision, skidding, rollover)
110% of insured sum
Only in Standaard nieuwwaarderegeling, Nieuwwaarde 2 jaar, Nieuwwaarde 3 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 1 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 2 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 3 jaar
Covers damage to your own car caused by collision, skidding, overturning, going off-road or into water, including damage caused by an inherent defect of the vehicle itself. Vehicle value is set using the new-value or purchase-value scale, capped at 110% of the catalogue value stated on the policy schedule.
Total loss payout
110% of insured sum
Only in Standaard nieuwwaarderegeling, Nieuwwaarde 2 jaar, Nieuwwaarde 3 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 1 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 2 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 3 jaar
If the car is a technical or economic total loss, you receive the assessed value of the car (up to 110% of the catalogue value under the new-value scheme, or day value under the standard/purchase-value scheme) minus the value of the wreck.
Partial damage / repair cost cover
Covered
If the car can be repaired, we pay the repair costs at a selected repair shop. Using a non-selected repair shop, or opting for a cash payout instead of repair, reduces the payout by €500 (exceptions apply for emergency repairs abroad).
Theft, break-in and joyriding cover
110% of insured sum
Only in Standaard nieuwwaarderegeling, Nieuwwaarde 2 jaar, Nieuwwaarde 3 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 1 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 2 jaar, Aankoopwaarde 3 jaar
Covers (attempted) theft, burglary/break-in and joyriding of the car. Cover requires the vehicle to meet the security-system class stated on the policy schedule; non-compliance voids theft/break-in claims.
Glass damage (windscreen/sunroof)
Covered
Covers sudden, unforeseen breakage of the windscreen, other windows or the panoramic/sunroof, and resulting damage from glass shards. No deductible applies for repair; a deductible applies for replacement if one is stated on the policy. Using a non-selected glass repair shop reduces the payout by €500.
Natural disasters and storm
Covered
Covers damage from hail, flooding, landslide, volcanic eruption, tidal wave, and storm (wind speed of 14 m/s or more), including objects blown onto the car or the car overturning in wind.
Roadside assistance / breakdown cover (Pechhulp)
Optional
Only in Pechhulp
Basic emergency assistance for accident or theft (towing, transport) is included as standard (Hulpverlening). Full breakdown assistance for a mechanical or electronic fault (Pechhulp) is an optional add-on that must be selected and shown on the policy schedule; assistance must be arranged via the Alarmcentrale.
Replacement vehicle
€1,250
In the Netherlands you get a free replacement car for up to 5 days after an accident/theft-related breakdown (Hulpverlening), or for the full repair period (max 5 days at total loss) via the Haal- en brengservice when using a selected repair shop. Abroad, rental cost is reimbursed up to €100 per day with a maximum of €1,250 per event.
Occupant/driver accident cover
No limit stated
Not part of the Casco Allrisk product; occupant accident/injury cover is sold as a separate additional policy alongside the car insurance.
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
An additional deductible of €250 per claim applies if the actual driver is under 24 years old at the time of the accident (even if the regular named driver is 24 or older), or if a supervising driver during accompanied/learner driving is under 24. This is on top of any voluntary deductible, even if that is €0.
Repair network requirements
Repairs must be carried out by a repair shop selected by Ditzo/a.s.r. to receive full reimbursement; using a non-selected repair or glass-repair shop, or opting for a cash payout instead of repair, reduces the claim payment by €500 (exceptions apply for emergency repairs abroad).
Territorial scope
Cover applies in the countries shown (and not crossed out) on the Green Card (International Motor Insurance Card). The policy ends if you move abroad as policyholder, if the car gets a foreign registration, or if the car is garaged abroad for more than half the year (subject to exceptions until the next renewal date for EU moves/storage).
Anti-theft requirements
If the policy schedule requires an anti-theft security system, it must carry the VbV-SCM Keurmerk Voertuigbeveiliging (approved by the Verzekeringsbureau Voertuigcriminaliteit, installed by a VbV-recognised installer, certified by Kiwa SCM), or be a technically equivalent factory-fitted system accepted by the insurer. Failing to meet this requirement voids cover for theft/joyriding, and for burglary or fraud/embezzlement claims that depend on an alarm or tracking system.
Claim notification deadline
Report theft, burglary or joyriding to the police the same day (or the next morning if it happened at night); report other damage caused by unknown parties or a hit-and-run within 14 days. Report the claim to the insurer as soon as you are aware of it; claims reported more than 36 months after the event are not reimbursed.
Deductible rules
The voluntary deductible chosen is stated on the policy schedule and is deducted from every payout, including when a maximum insured amount applies. No deductible applies to Hulpverlening, Pechhulp, the costs listed under 'what other costs do we reimburse', or to glass repair (it does apply to glass replacement).
