Most people look for the cheapest car insurance, but is it really that smart? Usually they say, buying something cheap is eventually expensive. Applying for less expensive car insurance is not always the best way to go and you unfortunately notice that when you have to deal with damage.
Quality is one of the most important components when applying for a car insurance and just insurances in general. You want to deal with as little administrative hassle as possible and you want your damage to be repaired as quickly as possible. So, the cheapest insurance does not exist and the premium differs per insurance company and the insured person. This is based on your age, claim-free years, car brand, place of residence etc.
The current value of your car is based on several factors. This is calculated based on the age of your car, number of kilometers on the dashboard, year of manufacture etc.
You accrue claim-free years from the moment you have car insurance registered in your name. The more you have built up claim-free years, the more the premium discount you will receive. If damage occurs, you claim the damage and you lose claim-free years at the same time.
You can often calculate this by entering your license plate and zip code on various websites. You can also contact us to have this calculated by one of our experienced advisors.
You can choose from three different coverages for your scooter/ moped insurance, namely WA, WA+ Limited Casco or Allrisk. Furthermore, there are other factors such as your age, value of your scooter/ moped that determine which cover suits you the best. In addition, it is always the question what amount you would like to spend on a scooter/ moped insurance. With today's expensive Vespa scooters, it might be wise to opt for the Allrisk coverage.
You are wondering what you are covered for when you apply for a WA, WA+ or the Allrisk insurance. Below is an overview of the three different coverages.
This is the mandatory basic cover for your scooter/ moped. It is also usually the cheapest insurance. You are legally obliged to insure your scooter/moped against legal consequences. Do you cause damage to someone else's belongings with your scooter/ moped? Then you are insured for this with a liability insurance. You are, however, not insured for damage to your own scooter/ moped.
With the WA+ insurance you are also insured for damage to your own scooter/ moped. This could have been caused by a fire or storm, for example.Theft also falls under the WA+ limited coverage.
Do you want certainty for all possible scenarios? Then the All risk insurance is the best coverage for you. With this insurance you are insured for all the damages to your own scooter/ moped, even if you have caused it yourself. This is the most expensive option and is often requested for new scooters/ mopeds that are 2 to 3 years old.
Insure your motorcycle properly with good insurance and coverage. You don't always have to pay a lot for a good insurance. Have you recently acquired a motorcycle? Then you are obliged, as with a car, to apply for an insurance.This type of insurance reimburses any damage that you cause to someone else with your motorcycle. So, theft and damage to your own motorcycle is not covered by this.
For your motorcycle insurance you can choose from the coverages WA, WA+limited and Allrisk. You can also choose a number of additional options such as passenger damage insurance, accident insurance and passenger legal assistance insurance. If you would like more information about these options, please feel free to contact one of our experienced advisors.
The premium for your motorcycle insurance, like most insurance policies, depends on the type of coverage you choose. In addition, there are also a number of other factors that determine the amount of your premium, such as your age, claim-free years, zip code etc.

Have you recently bought an (electric) bicycle and do you want to insure it as soon as possible? Then you can contact us to compare different providers for the best price and conditions. According to Dutch law, you are not always obliged to insure your bicycle. But sometimes it's definitely worth it. There are currently not many bicycle insurers active on the market. We can compare these for you.
With a 'high-speed' electric bicycle or a speed pedelec you are obliged to take out a WA insurance. These are equivalent to a scooter or moped. You do not have to apply for an insurance for an electric bicycle where you pedal yourself up to a speed of 25 kilometers per hour. With the faster variants that go up to 45 kilometers per hour, you are obliged to take out at least a WA insurance coverage.
The most common types are health insurance (mandatory), car insurance (mandatory for vehicle owners), home insurance (building and/or contents), liability insurance, travel insurance, life insurance, legal expenses insurance, funeral insurance, and pet insurance. Some are required by law, others are optional but widely recommended.
Everyone living or working in the Netherlands must have basic health insurance. Car owners must have at least third-party liability insurance. For homeowners with a mortgage, building insurance is usually required by the lender, though not by law.
Basic health insurance (basisverzekering) covers general practitioner visits, hospital care, specialist care, prescription medication, maternity care, and some medical equipment. You can add supplementary insurance for things like dental care or physiotherapy.
Personal liability insurance (aansprakelijkheidsverzekering) covers damage you accidentally cause to others or their property. It is not compulsory but highly recommended. Liability insurance for motor vehicles (WA-verzekering) is compulsory for vehicle owners.
Home insurance typically includes building insurance (opstalverzekering) for the physical structure and contents insurance (inboedelverzekering) for your belongings. Building insurance is often required for homeowners with a mortgage; contents insurance is important for both owners and tenants.
Building insurance covers the structure of your home (walls, roof, fixtures), while contents insurance covers movable items inside your home (furniture, electronics, clothing). Both can usually be combined in a single policy.
For health insurance, the deductible is a fixed amount you pay yourself each year (currently €385) before the insurer starts covering costs. Other insurances may also have a deductible, which can vary by policy.
Yes, expats and non-residents can take out most types of insurance. Health insurance is mandatory for anyone living or working in the Netherlands. Many insurers offer information and policies in English.
Optional insurances include travel insurance, legal expenses insurance, life insurance, funeral insurance, pet insurance, bicycle insurance, and accident insurance. These provide extra protection depending on your lifestyle and needs.
Contact your insurer as soon as possible, provide all requested documentation (such as receipts or police reports), and follow their procedures. Your policy will outline what is covered and any conditions for claims.
Assess your personal situation (homeowner or tenant, car owner, family status), legal requirements, and risks you want to cover. Compare policies, premiums, coverage, and deductibles. Seek advice if needed, especially for complex situations.
Yes, many providers offer bundled packages (e.g., home, contents, and liability insurance) at a discount. This can simplify administration and sometimes reduce costs.
You may need to cancel or adjust your policies. For health insurance, coverage generally ends when you deregister from the Netherlands or stop working here. Always inform your insurers of your new situation.
Premiums vary by type of insurance, coverage, value of insured items, location, and personal risk profile. For example, basic contents insurance starts at around €50–€150 per year, while building insurance averages €150–€250 per year. Health insurance premiums are set annually.
