Comprehensive vehicle insurance

We can all encounter accidentsor situations that lead to damage in traffic. Our comprehensive vehicle insurance covers all damage to your car, unless otherwise specified in the terms and conditions. Therefore, it's a good idea to insure your car with us.

Together we take care of your car, whether it is insured with traditi­onal comprehensive vehicle insurance or with comprehensive vehicle insurance in Ökuvísir.

  • When you purchase a comprehensive vehicle insurance, you choose your own deducti­ble. This is the amount you pay if you incur damage. We cover the cost of the damage that exceeds your chosen deducti­ble. The higher deductible you choose, the lower the premium you pay for the insurance. Our customers comm­only select deducti­bles in the range of ISK 106.900 to ISK 156.800.

  • Your deductible amount is the same for all damages covered by the comprehensive vehicle insurance.

  • Comprehensive vehicle insurance is valid in Iceland and while travelling within the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland for up to 92 days from the departure date. If your trip exceeds 92 days, you can extend the coverage for an additi­onal fee.

  • Comprehensive vehicle insurance now provides excellent coverage for damages to electric cars. Whether it's the battery, charging cable, or the car itself that gets dama­ged, your electric car is well insured with us. With us, your deductible does not increase even if there is damage to the car battery.

  • Access­ories on the car, such as films, interior fitt­ings, roof boxes, roof tents, bicycle racks, spotlig­hts, winches and similar equip­ment, are not covered under the comprehensive vehicle insurance. However, you can purchase an additi­onal coverage that insures these access­ories. You choose the sum insured, but the deductible is the same as under the comprehensive insurance. The access­ories are only covered if the car is involved in a comprehensive loss event and the access­ories are on the car at the time of the loss.
