Dutch car insurance
In The Netherlands it is mandatory for all cars to have at least a third party liability car insurance. This insurance is called WA (Wettelijke Aansprakelijkheid) in Dutch. Damages inflicted with your own car to other people and their property are covered with this car insurance. You can also choose more comprehensive coverages, which are called WA Plus or All Risk coverage. You can read more about the differences below.

Three coverages to choose from:
-
1
WA coverage (third-party liability)
In The Netherlands it is mandatory to have a car insurance with at least WA-coverage. Third party liability only covers the damage that you inflict with your car to other people and their property. It will provide coverage if you have an at-fault accident (you caused the accident to take place).
Is your car 8 years old or older? Are you not dependent on your car? And is your car not worth much anymore? In that case WA-coverage is probably your best option.
-
2
WA beperkt casco coverage (third-party liability + limited coverage)
The WA beperkt casco insurance covers the damage you could cause to another car, and damage caused by circ*mstances beyond your control. Some examples are: car theft, car fire, broken windshield, hitting an animal with your car and damage caused by a storm.
-
3
All risk coverage (third-party liability + comprehensive coverage)
All risk insurance covers damage to other cars and almost all damage to your own car. This insurance is recommended when you have a new car or when you cannot take the financial risk of having to replace your car.
Advice from our expert
“The choice of coverage depends on the type of vehicle you have. For a new car (up to 6 years old), we highly recommend opting for comprehensive coverage (All Risk). However, for a car that is over 10 years old, we suggest considering third-party liability coverage (WA) only.”

Additional coverages
-
No-claim protection
No-claim protection is called ‘no-claimbescherming’ in dutch.
The first damage in the current policy year does not count when determining your no-claim discount. You insure yourself against premium increases that occur when you have a loss/damage. -
Damage insurance for occupants
The damage insurance for occupants is called a ‘schadeverzekering voor inzittenden’ in dutch. This insurance covers personal injury and damage to your luggage or clothes that is caused by a car accident. Other occupants are also covered by the insurance. The car insurance company will still cover the damages if you are the one that caused the accident.
-
Personal accident insurance
The personal accident insurance is called a ‘ongevallen-inzittendenverzekering’ in Dutch. Personal accident insurance is a policy that can reimburse your medical costs and provide compensation in case of disability or death caused by accidents.
-
Legal expenses insurance
In Dutch it is called ‘rechtsbijstandverzekering’. Legal expenses insurance protects the insured against unexpected legal fees. While some policies provide limited coverage, other policies allow for unlimited reimbursem*nt.
-
Deductible
Deductible is called ‘eigen risico’ in dutch. After causing a car accident you will be responsible for your deductible, meaning that you must pay for damages until you reach the deductible amount, and anything above your deductible will be covered by your policy.

The contract and the cancellation period of your current car insurance determine whether you can switch car insurance. There are several situations in which you can switch to another insurer and cancel your current car insurance:
- One year after taking out your current car insurance policy. In this case, a notice period of one month often applies. Suppose your current car insurance policy runs from 1 January to 31 December and your insurer applies a notice period of one month. If you want your new insurance to take effect from 1 January, you will have to cancel your current insurance no later than 1 December.
- If you have a car insurance policy that can be cancelled daily or monthly. In this case, you can switch immediately, for example when another insurer has a better deal.
- If the insurer changes the policy conditions or increases the premium. In that case, you can cancel your insurance immediately and you can switch car insurance.
Please note: don’t cancel your current car insurance until you have been accepted by your new car insurer.
