Frequently asked questions about temporary car insurance

How long can I get temporary car insurance?

The term of a temporary car insurance policy is flexible and depends on what you need. Choose 1-day or 14-day coverage.

What coverage do I have with temporary car insurance?

A third-party coverage applies to the temporary insurance. It is not possible to take out more extensive coverage. Therefore, the insurance does not cover damage to one's own vehicle.

Can I set off the temporary insurance against the permanent insurance?

The temporary insurance is a separate policy. It is not possible to offset or deduct the cost from the permanent car insurance.

Is it possible to take out temporary insurance by chassis number?

We need the vehicle registration number or the temporary registration number.

Can the temporary car insurance be renewed?

The 14-day temporary car insurance cannot be renewed. Does the vehicle have a foreign license plate? Then purchase insurance in the country for which the license plate was issued.

What should I do in case of damage?

With temporary insurance, when you have caused a damage with the vehicle, you and the other party must fill out a claim form. Normally, a claim form consists of 2 pieces. The so-called print-through you give to the other party.

On your part you also need to fill in the back. You can then send the claim form to:
