ING
ING is a motor casco insurance for the Netherlands market with online purchase and 24/7 assistance.

Coverage limits
Own vehicle damage (including self-caused)
100% of insured sum
Only in WA All risk
Covers damage to your own vehicle caused by collision, hitting/being hit, rolling over, running off the road or into water, vandalism, looting/riots, or any other external peril - including when the policyholder caused the damage themselves; this is on top of all WA and WA Plus perils.
Total loss settlement
100% of insured sum
Only in WA All risk
If repair costs exceed the vehicle's current value minus residual value, the vehicle is total loss; settlement equals that difference, or if higher, the ANWB trade-in 'replacement value' plus 10% just before the event. New/near-new vehicles may qualify for the new-value or purchase-value scheme (standard 12 months, extendable to 36 months), which pays the highest applicable value.
Partial / repairable damage
Covered
Only in WA All risk
If the vehicle can be repaired, the claim amount equals the repair costs, unless those costs exceed the total-loss threshold.
Theft and burglary
Covered
Only in WA Plus, WA All risk
Covers loss of or damage to the vehicle from theft, burglary, joyriding, embezzlement of the whole vehicle, or fraud by a third party, subject to reasonable care having been taken. Settlement equals current value or, if higher, ANWB replacement value +10%. During a 20-calendar-day search period the policyholder may choose a €20/day allowance (max 20 days) or a replacement vehicle; lock/key replacement after key theft carries no deductible.
Glass damage
Covered
Only in WA Plus, WA All risk
Covers breakage or cracking of the front, rear or side windows and sunroof/panoramic roof glass, plus resulting damage from glass shards. Repair via the Glasgarant network is free of deductible; repair outside the network costs €150 deductible; replacement outside the network adds an extra €400 deductible on top of any policy deductible.
Fire, storm and natural hazards
Covered
Only in WA Plus, WA All risk
Covers damage from fire (including self-ignition), explosion, direct lightning strike or induction, short circuit, collision with wild/loose animals (including consequential damage), hail, aircraft crash or falling parts, natural disasters (flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, avalanche), storm (wind force >=7 / 14 m/s), and damage during transport of the vehicle by boat, train or plane.
Vandalism, looting and riots
Covered
Only in WA All risk
Covers damage to the vehicle caused by vandalism, looting or riots, and any other external peril, including when self-caused.
Roadside / accident assistance
Covered
Only in WA, WA Plus, WA All risk
Standard assistance (all tiers) via the 24/7 ING Alarmcentrale covers help after an accident, fire, theft or wrong fuel in NL and abroad (towing, transport of occupants, hotel up to €80/person max €400 total, 2nd class train). Assistance for mechanical/electronic breakdowns not related to an accident requires the optional Pechhulp Nederland module (max 4 breakdown cases/year, replacement car for max 2) or Pechhulp Europa module (max 7 cases/year, replacement car up to 21 days for max 2 cases).
Replacement vehicle
Conditional
Only in WA Plus, WA All risk, Pechhulp Nederland, Pechhulp Europa
A replacement vehicle is provided for up to 5 calendar days if the vehicle is total loss and repaired via the Schadegarant network; during the 20-day theft search period a replacement vehicle can be chosen instead of the daily allowance; the optional Pechhulp Nederland module provides a replacement vehicle for up to 2 breakdown cases/year, and Pechhulp Europa for up to 2 cases/year for up to 21 days (fuel costs excluded). The insurer determines the make/model provided.
Driver accident / injury cover
Excluded
Damage to or injury of the driver of the insured vehicle is never covered under WA All risk; driver and occupant injury can only be insured via the separate optional Schade Inzittenden (Occupant Damage) module.
Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
No explicit minimum policyholder age is stated in the T&Cs; however, a driver under 18 is only covered when accompanied by a supervisor under the begeleiderspas (2toDrive) scheme, and cover is void if the driver held no valid driving licence for the vehicle.
Repair network requirements
Repairs via the Schadegarant network mean the insurer pays the garage directly, and glass repairs via the Glasgarant network carry no deductible; using a repairer outside either network requires the policyholder to pay upfront and incurs an additional €400 deductible (or €150 for glass repair, €400 for glass replacement).
Territorial scope
Cover applies in all countries listed on the policyholder's International Motor Insurance Card (formerly the Green Card) that are not crossed out.
Anti-theft requirements
Theft cover only applies if the policyholder took reasonable care; there is no cover if keys were stolen or lost without adequate precautions, or if the vehicle was left unattended unlocked or with the keys inside.
Claim notification deadline
Report damage to the insurer as soon as possible; for a criminal offence such as theft, joyriding, burglary, vandalism, or a hit-and-run, report to the police immediately; for a stolen vehicle, a 20-day search period starts after the police report and notification before a theft payout is made; transport damage not visible externally must be reported to the towing company within three working days of delivery.
Deductible rules
Multiple applicable deductibles are added together. Beyond the standard policy deductible, an extra €400 applies if repairs are done outside the Schadegarant network or not repaired at all; for glass, repair outside Glasgarant costs €150, and replacement outside Glasgarant adds €400 on top of any policy deductible; lock/key replacement after theft carries no deductible.
