Frequently asked questions about commercial auto insurance
What is the difference between private and business car insurance?
Een business car insurance is afgestemd op zakelijk gebruik (bestuurders, kilometrage, branche, accessoires/inrichting). Voorwaarden en acceptatie kunnen afwijken van particuliere polissen.
What coverage do I need: WA, WA Limited Casco or Allrisk?
Dat hangt af van voertuigwaarde, leeftijd, financiering/lease en uw risicobereidheid. WA is basis, WA+ voegt vaak diefstal/brand/ruitschade toe en allrisk dekt vaak ook eigen schade door aanrijding (policy dependent).
Is commercial vehicle furnishings or stickers included in the insurance?
This is policy dependent. Accessories or furnishings must often be explicitly insured up to a certain amount.
Are tools or goods in the car insured?
Usually not standard via car insurance. This often requires separate cover (depending on the policy), such as transport/own transport.
Can I insure multiple vehicles on one policy (fleet)?
A fleet or multi-vehicle solution is often possible. This can simplify management and optimize conditions (policy dependent).
What information do I need to calculate my premium or request a quote?
Usually: license plate/vehicle details, use (sector/mileage), driver(s), claim-free years and desired coverage/supplements.
