If there's one thing we’re proud of, it’s that we always try to make our insurance as clear as possible. That's why you’ll always find an explanation of the Coverage, along with the typical exceptions. We’re the insurance provider of choice for a good reason.
Basic coverage
Our basic Coverage includes all of those damages caused by external forces that need to be taken into account for Home insurance.
FIRE: combustion and burning by flame of an object or objects that were not designed to be burned.

Torrential rain, summertime storms, high winds (over 80 km/h), snow... Anything that can cause damage to your home. If a street light falls down in high winds, hitting your house, we will fix it. For example, if windows or shutters are damaged by heavy rain or hail, we will replace them.
ExclusionsAfter several days of rain, it is possible that there will be flooding due to the overflow of rivers, lakes, sewage or canals. Any damage caused by these events is covered by your insurance.
ExceptionsWater damage is not just about the leak, it is finding the cause of the leak and solving it. Caser Home Insurance takes all these unexpected situations into account. We will turn your house upside down to find the source of the leak, but this Coverage guarantees that we will leave it just as it was before.
We look after all water damage caused by appliances, damaged pipes, damage to other appliances, damaged tanks, locating the fault and fixing the fault (workforce and required materials) and reconstruction if we have to break anything for access. Even if the leak is your fault for having left the tap on. Accidents happen.
ExclusionsRegardless of where you live, burglary and theft can be worries that play on your mind. A Coverage of this type doesn’t just cover you against theft in your home - you are also coveredin the case of muggings. Your belongings are yours both inside and outside of your house.

Up to €1500 for theft of belongings (bag, jacket, mobile phone...) and up to €300 for theft of cash. *The amount insured is for all members of your party. This means that if a mobile phone and jacket are stolen from you and a mobile phone, a wallet and a watch are stolen from your partner, the maximum compensation for these items remains €1500.

ExclusionsThe fact that we have to take up your bathroom tiles doesn’t have to mean that your house will resemble a battlefield when the work is complete. We will fix it for you and, if you have this Coverage, we will ensure that the cosmetic appearance is respected.
