What is company car insurance?

Company car insurance is more expensive compared to private insurance, but you can keep the differences limited by comparing car insurance atAlpina.nl.Employees are also allowed to drive the vehicle. Is the car used only for commuting? In that case, company car insurance is not strictly necessary. Insuring the car privately is then an option.
Affordable commercial vehicle insurance
Are you looking for low-cost commercial vehicle insurance? Dhe premium for company car insurance has the same basic dependencies as the private policy. The following factors come into play:
- Number of claim-free years
- The coverage chosen
- Use of the company car
- Choice of accessories co-insured
Choosing WA commercial vehicle insurance
You choose WA commercial vehicle insurance primarily for a commercial vehicle eight years old or older. Where the limit lies depends greatly on the value of the vehicle. A ten-year-old company car can still be worth a lot. The biggest disadvantage of third-party insurance is that damage to your own company car will not be paid for by the insurer. In case of damage you can possibly hold the other party liable, but that does not apply if you yourself are liable for the damage. Do you find this coverage too limited? Then choose one of the other two options for your business car insurance.
Choosing WA + limited collision commercial vehicle insurance
The WA + limited casco obviously also provides coverage for damage caused to others. In addition, your own company car is also insured against a number of causes of damage listed in the policy conditions. These are the following coverages:
- Theft and damage from attempted theft
- Lightning damage
- Animal collision
- Hail damage
- Storm damage
- Window Break
- Fire and explosion
You choose this form of insurance when third-party insurance is too limited and all-risk coverage is too costly relative to coverage. Especially for an older commercial vehicle, the most comprehensive insurance can be too costly. You are not going to pay a €1,000 premium if the company car is only worth €2,000.
Choosing all risk commercial vehicle insurance
This insurance provides the coverage in the third-party liability + limited collision plus additional coverage, such as
- Collision damage to own car
- Damage to commercial vehicle due to slippery road surface
- Getting the vehicle under water
- Damage caused by vandalism
You choose the all risk commercial vehicle insurance for a new commercial vehicle until the car is about three or four years old. This is an indication. You can also keep the company car all risk insurance for a six-year-old company car. It is a matter of weighing the coverage against the premium. As the vehicle ages, the daily value drops. As a result, it makes less and less sense to keep the company car extensively insured.
Also need supplemental insurance?
In addition to the insurance policies mentioned above, you can also choose a number of additional policies. Especially accident passenger insurance and damage passenger insurance are frequently chosen additional insurances. Also consider personal transport insurance. This provides coverage in case of theft from the company car. This could include tools or goods transported to customers.

Frequently asked questions about commercial vehicle insurance
What is company car insurance?
Company car insurance is taken out for the car that you use for business purposes and that is also registered in the administration. Company car insurance is more expensive compared to private insurance, but you can keep the differences limited by comparing car insurance at Alpina.nl. Employees are also allowed to drive the vehicle. Is the car used only for commuting? In that case, company car insurance is not strictly necessary. Insuring the car privately is then an option.
When do you choose company car insurance?
In a privately insured car, you may drive business miles. You may offset the miles driven for tax purposes in your business records. But that story doesn't always hold true. For example, you may use your private car to drive to a trade show or a business meeting. For delivering meals and driving as a cab, you need company car insurance. If a car is part of the company's assets, you choose company car insurance. It does not matter whether it is a van or a passenger car, for example.
What does the premium for company car insurance depend on?
Basically, the premium for business car insurance has the same dependencies as the private policy. The number of claim-free years and forms of insurance largely determine the premium for business auto insurance. But there are more dependencies. What is important is what the business car is used for. A van used to transport employees to a location carries less risk than a van used extensively by a plumber on a daily basis. The type of vehicle also plays a role.
Are accessories co-insured?
With accessories, it is possible to divide between accessories already fitted at the factory and accessories additionally fitted to the car. A tow bar can be an accessory to be co-insured, but if it is already fitted as standard, it is part of the new value. For example, a van's special equipment for business use is a separately insurable accessory. In the commercial vehicle insurance you can include accessories as you choose. This way you can tailor the van insurance to your needs.
What are important things about policy conditions?
Reading policy terms and conditions is not the most fun thing to do. That's why we've listed the essentials. Clear and straightforward.
How does it work with claim-free years?
