For drivers

The car is the most vulnerable asset – that is what casco is about.

New or used, private or company car: the casco market differs hugely in deductibles, depreciation and assistance. I make insurers compete – and show you what the cover behind the premium is really worth.

Why with me?

Smart deductibles

The deductible structure materially affects both the premium and how much you pay out of pocket at a claim – with the customary 10%, minimum HUF 100,000 deductible, a larger claim can mean a six-figure sum. I can only responsibly quote a specific amount once I have offers based on your own data.

Depreciation and extras

What is a 3-year-old headlight worth? When is a free-standing wheel change covered? We clarify it up front.

You see an indicative price within minutes – the fine-tuning and putting the offers in competition is my job.

Frequently asked questions

What deductible should I choose?

The deductible balances premium against your burden at a claim: higher deductible = lower premium, but more out of pocket. Based on your usage (city, mileage, garage) we set the right structure together.

What does depreciation mean?

The insurer may deduct for the age of certain parts from the payout – what and how much depends on the terms. The 3-year-old headlight question hinges on this; I highlight it separately in the comparison.

Is casco worth it on a used car?

It depends on the car’s value and your risks: beyond collision, theft, natural perils and glass matter too. Sometimes a reduced (partial casco) package is the rational choice.

What does casco typically not pay for?

Typical exclusions: wear and tear, an unlocked vehicle, racing; drink-driving typically gives the insurer grounds for exemption from payment. Exclusion lists differ by insurer – I translate them into decision-maker language up front.

Should MTPL and casco be handled together?

They are two separate policies, but can be reviewed and competed together: this often brings a discount and always a clearer overall picture. Aligning the two renewal dates takes a separate step – the MTPL renewal date is fixed to the start of cover and cannot be moved at will – and the discount itself is not guaranteed.
