Unique selling points
Gjensidige's comprehensive (Helförsäkring Plus) car insurance was rated 4.5 out of 5 by Konsumenternas in its independent annual car insurance ranking.
Generous machine damage terms: engine/drivetrain cover lasts until the car is 10 years old or has driven 12,000 mil, well beyond many competitors' limits.
All-risk cover is included, reimbursing costs for a lost car key, wrong fuel, or spilled contents in the boot, up until the car is 15 years old.
Stone-chip glass damage can be fixed for a fixed 200 kr fee via partner Ryds Bilglas instead of paying the full deductible for a window replacement.
Crisis therapy with a licensed psychologist is included with no deductible regardless of the chosen coverage level.
Coverage limits
Own damage cover (Vagnskada)
Conditional
Covers damage to the policyholder's own vehicle caused by a traffic accident, another accidental event, or intentional damage by a third party. Settlement is based on the vehicle's market value immediately before the loss. Only included in Helförsäkring (comprehensive) tiers, not in Halvförsäkring.
Section: 3. Vad försäkringen gäller för > 3.5 Vagnskada
Försäkringen gäller för • skada på ditt fordon genom trafikolycka • skada på ditt fordon genom annan olyckshändelse utanför fordonet • skada på ditt fordon genom uppsåtlig skadegörelse av tredje man.
Total loss settlement
Conditional
If repair is assessed as not economical, Gjensidige pays compensation equal to the vehicle's market value immediately before the loss, as part of the Vagnskada (own-damage) component included only in Helförsäkring.
Section: Viktig Information > Så här ersätts skador
Bedömer vi att reparation inte lönar sig lämnar vi en ersättning som motsvarar fordonets marknadsvärde omedelbart före skadan.
Partial damage repair
Conditional
If repair is worthwhile, Gjensidige decides how and by whom the vehicle is repaired and pays the repair cost, as part of the Vagnskada component included only in Helförsäkring.
Section: Viktig Information > Så här ersätts skador
Om det lönar sig att reparera avgör vi hur det ska göras och av vem. Vi betalar reparationen.
Theft, unauthorized taking and attempted theft
Covered
Covers theft, unauthorized taking of the vehicle (tillgrepp), and attempted theft/tillgrepp. Compensation is normally paid within one month after required documents are submitted. Included from Halvförsäkring upward (all four casco tiers).
Section: 3.4 Halvförsäkring > 3.4.1 Stöld
Gjensidige lämnar ersättning senast en månad efter att du har lämnat in de handlingar som vi har begärt in, förutsatt att skadan är ersättningsbar.
Glass damage
Covered
Covers windscreen, side or rear window cracking, penetration or shattering. Excludes damage from collision, rollover or driving off the road, malicious damage, and wear. Included from Halvförsäkring upward. A reduced deductible applies if a stone-chip is repaired via an approved repairer (e.g. Ryds Bilglas) instead of replacing the glass.
Section: 3.4 Halvförsäkring > 3.4.3 Glas
Försäkringen gäller för skada som består i att vind-, sido- eller bakruta krossas, genombryts eller spräcks.
Natural perils (storm, flood, hail)
Conditional
There is no separate natural-perils (storm/flood/hail) moment, but damage to the vehicle caused by such events through an accidental event outside the vehicle is covered under the Vagnskada (own-damage) component, which is included only in Helförsäkring.
Section: 3. Vad försäkringen gäller för > 3.5 Vagnskada
Försäkringen gäller för • skada på ditt fordon genom trafikolycka • skada på ditt fordon genom annan olyckshändelse utanför fordonet • skada på ditt fordon genom uppsåtlig skadegörelse av tredje man.
Malicious damage by third parties
Conditional
Intentional damage by a third party to the insured's own vehicle is covered under the Vagnskada component, which is only included in Helförsäkring. A separate optional add-on ('Skadegörelse') can instead reduce the deductible on such damage (max 6,000 kr reimbursement, applicable if repair cost exceeds 1,000 kr) for customers without full Vagnskada cover, and can be added to Halv- or Helförsäkring.
Section: 3.6 Tilläggsförsäkringar > 3.6.2 Skadegörelse
Försäkringen reducerar erlagd självrisk vid uppsåtlig skadegörelse av tredje man. ... Ersättning lämnas med högst 6 000 kronor.

Included automatically in the Pluspaketet Halv- and Helförsäkring tiers; available only as a paid add-on ('Tillägg') on the standard Halv- and Helförsäkring tiers.

Traffic accident personal injury (Trafikolycksfall)

Key conditions
Driver age and experience limit
No explicit minimum driver age is stated for casco cover. However, if the policyholder gives an incorrect age for the regular driver, compensation is normally reduced by at least 10%, minimum 1,000 kr.
Repair network requirements
Gjensidige decides whether the vehicle is repaired and by whom; at most contracted workshops, claims can be settled via photo inspection instead of a physical inspection.
Anti-theft requirements
When left unattended, the vehicle must be locked with an approved anti-theft device; the key must not be kept in or immediately next to the vehicle. Detached parts/accessories must be locked away; caravans/trailers must use an approved hitch lock, and vehicles with market value over 1 million kr require an activated tracker approved by the Swedish Anti-Theft Association.
Claim notification deadline
Claims must be reported as soon as possible; theft, vandalism and wildlife-collision claims must also be reported to the police. Legal action must generally be brought within 10 years of the loss event, or within 6 months of Gjensidige's final decision if the claim was reported in time.
Deductible rules
The base deductible is normally 1,500 kr, but varies by insurance component: Traffic 1,000 kr (10% of the price base amount for certain traffic offences); Fire 1,800 kr; Theft 1,800 kr; Glass: 200 kr for stone-chip repair, 1,800 kr for full replacement; Machine: 1,500 kr (0–6,000 mil driven) or 3,000 kr (6,001–12,000 mil); All-risk 1,500 kr; Rescue 1,500 kr; Crisis assistance: no deductible; Legal protection: 20% of cost, minimum 1,500 kr; Own-damage (Vagnskada) 4,000 kr.
Direct payment
Gjensidige decides whether a damaged vehicle is repaired, replaced with an equivalent vehicle, or settled in cash. If repair is not deemed economical, compensation corresponds to the vehicle's market value immediately before the loss; Gjensidige also decides who performs the repair and where parts are sourced.
Territorial scope
Casco cover (theft, fire, glass, machine, all-risk, rescue, own-damage) applies only in Green Card countries and during transport between them. Traffic (MTPL) cover applies worldwide under the Traffic Damage Act for damage caused by a Swedish-registered vehicle to a Swedish citizen or resident.
