Waar moet ik bij het verzekeren van een Citroen op letten?

De klassieke modellen schrijven stevig af, waardoor cascodekking snel niet meer loont.

Welke dekkingsvorm past bij mijn Citroen?

Dat hangt af van de waarde. Is die hoog genoeg dat u een total loss financieel niet zou opvangen, dan is allrisk of casco op taxatiewaarde de logische keuze. Zakt de waarde daaronder, dan wordt WA of beperkt casco verdedigbaar.

Accepteert elke verzekeraar dit merk?

Nee. Acceptatiebeleid verschilt per maatschappij, zeker bij hogere waarden en bijzondere uitvoeringen. Wij leggen uw situatie voor aan meerdere verzekeraars.

Kan ik zelf mijn premie berekenen?

Ja, met de rekenmodule bovenaan deze pagina berekent u direct een indicatie. Wilt u advies of past uw situatie niet in de module, vraag dan een offerte aan.

Citroën Ami Microcar Insurance

In brief

Citroën's model range runs from a light quadricycle (brommobiel) to a van, and that spread determines which type of policy you need. The Ami is a light four-wheeled moped: it does not reach motorway speeds, may be driven from the age of sixteen with an AM licence and is insured as a moped, not as a passenger car. If you apply for car insurance for it, the cover does not match what you drive.

For the passenger cars, from the C1 and C3 to the C4 and C5, the balance is mainly financial. These models depreciate steeply, so that full own-damage cover produces less than the premium costs after a number of years. On the versions with hydropneumatic or air suspension the position is different: there the repair is specialised and the repair time long.

The third group is the van version. A Berlingo, Jumpy or Jumper on a commercial registration is assessed on what you do with it. If you carry goods for third parties for payment, a private policy is not adequate. For the sister make from the same group, read Insuring a Peugeot.

What is covered

Situation	Third-party liability	Third-party liability + fire and theft	Comprehensive
Damage to another vehicle	Yes	Yes	Yes
Theft of your Citroen	No	Yes	Yes
Windscreen damage or stone chips	No	Yes	Yes
Storm, hail and fire damage	No	Yes	Yes
Driving into a bollard yourself	No	No	Yes
Track use, wear and intent	No	No	No

This overview is general in nature and is not personal advice. What is actually covered, including exclusions, limits and the excess, is set out in the policy conditions and the insurance card (verzekeringskaart) of the insurer; you receive both before you take out cover. Taking out cover without advice? Then read what execution only means for you.

Where things go wrong in practice

Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.

The Ami is a light quadricycle, not a car

In law the Ami falls into the category of light four-wheeled moped. That means a moped registration, an AM licence from the age of sixteen, a top speed that rules out the motorway, and third-party liability insurance for mopeds. The range of own-damage cover is more limited in this segment than for cars. If someone drives without the right licence category, that is an exclusion; the injured party is still paid through Article 2 of the Dutch Motor Insurance Liability Act (WAM), with recovery from the driver.

Hydropneumatics and air suspension

The versions with hydropneumatic or air suspension call for a workshop that knows the system. A leaking sphere, a faulty ride-height control or a worn pressure line is wear and falls outside every form of own-damage cover; consequential damage from a defect you already knew about also stays at your expense. What is covered is damage to the system caused by a collision. With this suspension, reckon on a longer repair time.

City cars: the tipping point from own-damage cover to third-party liability

A C1 or C3 is driven mainly in town and picks up the typical damage there: parking damage, a wing mirror knocked off, stone chips. Set the market value alongside the excess before you renew comprehensive cover. Third-party, fire and theft remains defensible, because theft, fire, storm and glass damage lie outside your influence. For the electric versions the same question arises about battery ownership and the charging cable as on other electric cars.

Van versions: the use determines the policy

If you drive a Berlingo or Jumpy for business, declare what you carry and for whom. Carriage of goods for third parties for payment falls outside an ordinary policy. Also excluded are: load, tools and equipment in the load area, because those belong on a goods or business contents insurance; hire and shared use; and damage from loading above the permitted weight. Report a change in your business activity during the term.

Repairs and parts

On the hydraulic and air-sprung versions the parts are specialised and the repair time longer.

Acceptance differs per insurer

Not every company applies the same policy for this make. With unusual versions, the question is not what it costs but who will accept it.

Car insurance

What does your premium depend on?

Vehicle category. Light quadricycle, passenger car or van on a commercial registration determines which type of policy and which rate applies.
Market value or list price. The basis for the own-damage cover. On older models it determines whether own-damage cover is still defensible.
Engine and fuel. A small petrol engine, a diesel or an electric version are assessed differently.
Private or business use. On the van versions the most important question: own-account carriage or carriage for third parties.
Driver's age and no-claims years. On the light quadricycle the minimum age of sixteen and the absence of years built up come into play.
Cover, excess and add-ons. The glass claims arrangement and breakdown assistance count for more on these models than on more expensive cars.

Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

Frequently asked questions

This is what people ask us most.

How do I insure a Citroën Ami?

As a moped, not as a passenger car. The Ami falls into the category of light four-wheeled moped, has a moped registration and is subject to compulsory third-party liability insurance. Own-damage cover is offered by fewer companies in this segment and is sometimes limited to theft and fire. Declare on the application who the regular driver is. With a young driver that is decisive for underwriting and the premium.

My sixteen-year-old son wants to drive the Ami. Can that be done on my policy?

It can, but then declare him as the regular driver. He needs an AM licence; driving without that category is an exclusion on the policy. If you do not name him and something happens, the insurer can reduce the payment under Article 7:930 of the Dutch Civil Code. The other party is paid in any event through Article 2 of the Dutch Motor Insurance Liability Act (WAM), possibly with recovery from you.

Is a leaking suspension sphere or a faulty ride-height control insured?

No. That is wear or a mechanical defect, and it falls outside every form of own-damage cover. The damage that follows from it, such as suspension running on the bump stops, also stays at your expense. If the system is damaged by a collision or by a covered event, the repair is insured. With this type of suspension, have it checked periodically.

I use my Berlingo for my business. Is a private policy enough?

Only if you drive it purely privately. As soon as you carry goods or tools with it for your own business, a commercial van insurance belongs under it. If you carry goods for third parties for payment, that is professional haulage with its own conditions. Your load and tools are not insured in either case. For that you need separate goods or business contents cover.
