Comprehensive Car Insurance
Comprehensive car insurance covers damage to your own car as well as your liability to others, even when the accident is your fault.
What is Comprehensive Car Insurance?
It usually includes theft, fire, vandalism, glass and weather damage. Partial cover levels without own-fault accident damage exist in many countries. An excess applies to most claims. In Germany the levels are called Teilkasko and Vollkasko; in Turkey comprehensive cover is known as kasko.
How it works
The policy adds own-damage cover on top of the legally required third-party liability insurance.
Why it matters for your car
Cover details differ a lot between insurers; compare what is included, not just the price. Claims can reduce your no-claims discount.
