What is a convertible?

What does car insurance cost for my convertible?

Convertibles are popular cars. This makes them, especially the models with a cloth roof, especially susceptible to burglary. You often hear that the fabric roof is cut by thieves. This is why it is important to properly insure your convertible. The cost of your convertible car insurance depends on the type of coverage you choose. You can choose from:

• WA insurance: With a WA insurance you are insured for damage you cause to others with your convertible. A WA insurance is required by law in the Netherlands. You must therefore choose at least a WA-coverage. You are not insured for theft or damage to your own car.
• A WA + limited casco: You can also opt for a WA + limited casco insurance. This is also called a WA+ insurance. With a WA+ insurance you are also insured for damage caused by fire, lightning, hail, storm, window breakage or stray animals and for theft.
• All-risk insurance: The most comprehensive coverage is all-risk coverage. It is already in the name: with an all-risk insurance you are insured against all risks. That includes the damages mentioned above as well as damage to your own car, even if it is your fault. Of course, all-risk insurance is the most expensive of the three.

Furthermore, the cost of your convertible car insurance depends on your age, your zip code and the number of claim-free years you have accumulated.

Of course, the more supplemental insurance policies you purchase, the higher your premium will be. Be sure to check for duplicate coverage. Have you already purchased a separate roadside assistance policy? If so, you don’t need to include this coverage again in your auto insurance policy. This way, you can save on the cost of your convertible auto insurance.
