Different coverages of car insurance NL
WA coverage (third-party liability)
In The Netherlands it is mandatory to have a car insurance with at least a WA-coverage. Third-party liability only covers the damage that you inflict with your car to other people and their property. We advise to choose this coverage if you have a car 8 years old or older.
WA beperkt casco coverage (third-party liability + limited cover)
The WA beperkt casco insurance covers the same as WA coverage plus damage caused by circumstances beyond your control. For example car theft, car fire, hitting an animal with your car, broken windshield and damage caused by a storm.
All risk coverage (third-party liability + comprehensive cover)
All risk insurance is the most comprehensive coverage. It covers damages to other cars and almost all damages to your own car. If you have bought a new car this coverage is recommended.
