In brief
The AVP is an indemnity policy for third parties: it pays nothing of your own. The starting point is Article 6:162 of the Dutch Civil Code: anyone who acts unlawfully and causes damage as a result must make it good. The policy takes over that obligation and also conducts the defence where you are held liable without justification. In reality the latter is at least as valuable as the payment itself.
The group of insured persons is broad: your partner, children living at home, usually children studying away from home and house guests as well, plus your pets. One policy therefore covers a range of risks that are hard to insure separately: Article 6:169 of the Dutch Civil Code for young children, 6:179 DCC for animals and 6:174 DCC for your building.
Where the AVP stops, other policies begin. Damage to your own belongings runs through a home contents, golf or motor policy; damage caused with a car or scooter through the WAM cover on that vehicle.
Independent, personal, sorted quickly
We compare your personal liability insurance (AVP) across dozens of insurers, explain where the real differences lie, and arrange the switch from start to finish — without you having to chase it yourself.

What is covered
| Situation | Standard | With extension |
|---|---|---|
| Your child breaks a window at the neighbours' | Yes | Yes |
| Your dog bites a passer-by (6:179 DCC) | Yes | Yes |
| Damage to a rented holiday home | Provided that | Provided that |
| Damage to property in your care (care, custody and control) | No | Provided that |
| Damage caused with a motor vehicle (Article 2 WAM) | No | No |
| Damage caused intentionally (7:952 DCC) | No | No |
Personal liability insurance (AVP) covers damage that you or a member of your household cause to someone else in a private capacity. Damage caused with a motor vehicle is not covered: the WAM applies to that. The care, custody and control exclusion excludes damage to property in your care, unless the policy provides an extension for it.

This overview concerns our service, not the cover. What is actually covered is set out in the policy conditions and on the insurer's insurance card (verzekeringskaart); you receive both before you take out cover.
What does your premium depend on?
- Household composition. Single, living together or a family with children: that determines the group of insured persons.
- Sum insured per event. In injury claims the amounts run high. The limit chosen weighs heavily.
- With or without care, custody and control cover. An extension for borrowed and hired items costs extra premium.
- Property owned. A second home, a let property or a holiday home increases the buildings risk.
- Pets. Keeping dogs or horses brings liability under Article 6:179 DCC.
- Area of cover and excess. Worldwide cover and a lower excess increase the premium.
Insurers weigh these details differently. That is where your saving is.

9.8Claims handling
Customers rate our service on four aspects: personal service, service delivery, availability and the outcome. The reviews are collected and published by NH1816 and come from customers who have actually taken out a policy with Finass Advies B.V. or reported a claim.
Where things go wrong in practice
Four points that make the difference between a policy that pays out and one that does not.
Exactly who is covered
Family cover includes you, your partner and your children living at home. Children studying away from home are included under most conditions as long as they are unmarried and in full-time education. A child with their own income and their own household drops out. If you live alone, single-person cover is enough. If your household changes (moving in together, separating, a child who starts work) report it, otherwise the group of insured persons is open to argument when a claim arises.
Care, custody and control: borrowed and hired items
If you damage something belonging to someone else that was in your care, the policy speaks of care, custody and control, and that is limited or excluded as standard. Think of the borrowed trailer, your employer's laptop, the holiday home you rent or an acquaintance's classic car you take for a drive. Some conditions have separate, capped care, custody and control cover for staying with others and for borrowed items; let us check what your version says.
Animals and your home
As the possessor of an animal you are liable under Article 6:179 of the Dutch Civil Code for damage the animal causes of its own accord, even where you did nothing wrong: the dog that knocks over a cyclist, the cat that breaks a vase at the neighbours'. For defective structures, Article 6:174 of the Dutch Civil Codeapplies: if a roof tile or a branch falls on someone else's car, you are liable as the owner.
What the AVP expressly does not do
Excluded are damage caused with or by a motor vehicle, which runs through the compulsory WAM cover under Article 2 of the Dutch Motor Insurance Liability Act (WAM): damage from professional or business activities, including self-employed work and paid jobs, and damage you cause deliberately or through unlawful conduct. Fines, contractual penalty clauses and pure financial loss without injury or property damage also fall outside the cover.
Retroactive cover (prior risk)

Frequently asked questions
This is what people ask us most.
My dog bit a passer-by. Is that covered?
Yes, that is the essence of Article 6:179 of the Dutch Civil Code: as the possessor you are liable for damage caused by the animal's own energy, even if you did nothing wrong. The AVP pays the victim's injury and the consequential loss. The exception is damage to your own family members and damage that was deliberately provoked.
Does the AVP cover damage during my sideline as a self-employed professional?
No. As soon as you work for payment, the activity is professional or business activity and that is excluded. Public and employers' liability insurance exists for that. Even a friendly job that you invoice falls under it. If you do an unpaid job for a neighbour, that is usually a favour and the insurer assesses the claim on its merits.
My child broke a window. What now?
For children under fourteen the parents are liable under Article 6:169 of the Dutch Civil Code, even without fault of their own. The AVP then pays for the window. For older children their own conduct is considered, but as long as they belong to the group of insured persons the claim runs through your policy as normal. Report the loss as soon as possible.
Does my AVP also apply on holiday abroad?
Most policies have worldwide cover, often with a time limit for long stays. Watch the care, custody and control provision: damage to the holiday home you rent or to borrowed items at the campsite is not automatically covered. Before you leave, we check the territorial scope and the care, custody and control cover on your policy schedule.
Every situation is different. For these situations we have a separate page.
