A traffic accident can quickly lead to significant damage to your car or truck. The mandatory third-party liability insurance only covers damage you cause to others, but not the damage to your own vehicle.
With a comprehensive insurance for vehicles and trucks, you protect your fleet against damage caused by, among others, accidents, theft, vandalism, or natural forces. This way, your company avoids unexpected expenses when a vehicle or truck is damaged.
The specialists at Van Dessel assist you in choosing the right comprehensive insurance formula, from limited to full coverage, tailored to the value of your vehicles, trucks, and their use within your business.
A comprehensive insurance is a supplementary vehicle insurance that covers damage to your own vehicle or truck, even if you are responsible for the accident.
This insurance is an extension of the compulsory civil liability insurance and protects your vehicles against various risks.
There are generally two types:
Limited comprehensive: This option covers specific cases of damage, such as fire, glass breakage, theft, or damage caused by natural forces.
Full comprehensive: This option provides the most extensive protection and compensates for virtually all damage to the vehicle or truck, regardless of whether you are at fault in the accident. Internal defects are not covered.
Which option is best suited depends, among other things, on the value, age, and use of the vehicle or truck within your business.
Covers, depending on the chosen plan, damage to your vehicle or truck in an accident for which you are responsible or when the liable third party cannot be identified.
Covers damage caused by fire, theft, vandalism, or burglary.
Covers damage caused by natural forces such as storms, hail, or flooding.
Covers glass breakage and collisions with animals.
A comprehensive insurance is of interest to companies that want to optimally protect their vehicles and trucks against financial loss.
This insurance is particularly relevant for:
For older vehicles or vehicles with a lower value, a limited comprehensive insurance may sometimes suffice. For new or expensive vehicles, a fully comprehensive insurance is usually recommended. For larger fleets, alternative solutions are also available, such as a stop-loss solution.
The premium for comprehensive insurance is determined by several factors, such as:
Companies with multiple vehicles often opt for a fleet insurance policy, where comprehensive coverage is integrated into a single policy for the entire fleet. This can be both administratively simpler and financially more advantageous.
