Differences between car insurances

UnitedConsumers offers different types of car insurances. Depending on your situation and your car you can choose one of these coverages.

WA coverage (third party liability)

The WA insurance is the mandatory and cheapest kind of car insurance. This insurance only covers the damage you caused to another car. Most people with cars older than 10 years choose for this basic insurance.

WA coverage (legal liability) + limited Casco

This insurance covers the damage you caused to another car. Damage caused by yourself on your own car, is not reimbursed. You will get a reimbursement for damage to your own car caused by theft, collision with animals, storm or window damage. This insurance is mostly chosen for 5- 10 year-old cars.

WA coverage (legal liability) + Casco (all risk)

This 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 to replace your car.
