ABN AMRO’s car insurance lets you decide exactly how your car is insured. Third-party liability cover is mandatory, but apart from that you can choose the cover that is right for you. You only pay for what you choose, and if you change your mind, you have the option of updating your insurance any day.
ABN AMRO’s car insurance (third-party liability option) provides third-party liability cover in the event of damage caused to others by your car. This cover is mandatory for all car owners.
To find out more about the different types of car insurance cover, check the car insurance terms and conditions.
If you took out ABN AMRO's car insurance before 4 December 2017, your policy and its terms and conditions (in Dutch) will be a little different.
Take a look at our useful list of the differences (in Dutch) between the old and new car insurance policies.
Switching from your current car insurance policy to the new one could not be easier. Simply call our advisers at the Contact Centre on 0900 – 00 24 (usual call charges apply). They would be happy to help you.
ABN AMRO’s car insurance covers the car you purchase as a private individual or self-employed professional. Premiums for our car insurance are debited from your ABN AMRO current account.
If you are not an ABN AMRO customer, you can simply open an account using your smartphone.
We also have a business car insurance policy for vans used for professional purposes. This not only covers the van itself, but also its contents (e.g. tools) and/or framework and lettering, if you choose the relevant options. If you use your private car for business purposes or to transport goods and/or people in return for payment, this policy is not appropriate for you. You will need to insure your car for business purposes instead. If you are self-employed, you can also insure your car exclusive of VAT. Any claims you make are also paid out exclusive of VAT.
ABN AMRO’s car insurance covers damage to third parties caused by your car. This is called third-party liability and is mandatory for all car owners.
In addition, you can:
Replacement value scheme (third-party liability + limited cover or third-party liability + comprehensive cover)
In the event of total loss, theft or a claim for more than two thirds of the replacement value, you will receive your car's replacement value as long as:
Purchase value scheme (third-party liability + limited cover or third-party liability + comprehensive cover)
In the event of total loss, theft or a claim for more than two thirds of the replacement value, you will receive your car's purchase value as long as:
You can renew the replacement value or purchase value scheme by 1 or 2 years if the car is less than 1 year old or during the first renewal year. The replacement value scheme is only available if you have taken out either third-party liability insurance with limited cover or third-party liability insurance with comprehensive cover.
